This is cruel Steve, baiting us with a module, with the only clues being a sticker and the modules shape. Simple indeed!:/ Well here goes nothing... Mephisto MM V Manufacturer: Hegener & Glaser Processor: 65C02, 4.9 MHz Made in: 1990 Programmer: Ed Schröder Dimensions: 35 x 29.7 x 3.5 cm. Rating: average / strong club players More details: replaceable program module Board with reed-contacts I'm guessing it's the module for this machine above. My second guess is it's the module for this this machine. Mephisto Modular B&P Manufacturer: Hegener & Glaser Full name: Blitz und Problemlösungs-Modul Processor: 6502, 3.7 MHz Dates from: 1985 Programmer Ulf Ratsmann Dimensions: 35 x 29.7 x 3.5 cm. Rating: weak / average club players Other details: replaceable program module Board with reed-contacts and magnets under chessmen LCD display My third guess is the module for this machine. Mephisto Mobil Manufacturer: Hegener & Glaser Programmers: Nitsche / Henne Processor: 1806, 8 MHz. Dimensions: 24 x 10 x 3.5 cm (with board folded up) Rating: occasional players / weak club players Other details: Controlled by keys LCD-screen standard supplied with Mirage module My forth and final guess is the module for this machine. Mephisto Mirage Manufacturer: Hegener & Glaser Processor: 1806, 8 MHz Made in: 1984 Programmers: Nitsche / Henne Dimensions: 30 x 35 x 3.5 cm. Rating: amateurs / weak club players Bijzonderheden: pressure sensitive board I'm probably disqualified with too many guesses, even if one of them is correct?!
