Hi Ed,
I did ask you the same some time ago and you did answer that you can`t make a
Tasc-driver because Tasc has to do so. I would like to tell you that Tasc has
released a developement-tool-kit since december 1998 on theire webpage. (please
look at www.tasc.nl) For the rebel-windowsversion it would be a very simple
thing for you to include the code in to your program. I do not see a reason why
you could not include it.

In your web-board at your webpage you wrote that you really would like to
include the tascdriver but you are not able to do so because you don`t have the
sourcecode. You don`t have this argument anymore.

I would like to remeber you that I bought Rebel 10 because of your promise (you
pronised this last year!?!) that you will include the auto232-code again. For me
the program is in the moment worthless because I cannot use it with a pc-board
because the Chess 232-board uses the auto232-code. You aso refused to support
the DGT-board because it does not have LED's. OK, you included the driver for
the Mephisto-board. But I think you know that this pc-board is just the worst
which is on market. (In germany you can buy it know for DM 129,- and you get
also the Mephisto Advantage-program (You know that this is a version of Rebel 6)
But still nobody wants to use this board because it is so bad.

I my opinion it is time for you to think about the promises you gave. You should
work a bit and should release another update with autoplayer-feature and you
should include the Tasc-driver in the windows-version of Rebel.

Best greetings,
Hannu Wegner
