I think those chess hardware producers are not exactly commercial geniouses as they seemed to be, when there was no PC chess yet. But NOVAG published also an important *software*, WChess 1.0x. I do not understand why they did not continue it, and WChess 2000 came as engine for the MCS only (which is from Millennium 2000, not from NOVAG). It's similar with the Tasc board, which Tasc says is "discontinued". The Tasc R30 is still the strongest chess computer of it's kind I think; they would just have to standardise the board connection for public usage, similar to the WinBoard software GUI, and all the other companies could have produced different "operator modules" for it. If processors >100 MHz would have been used, they'd sell thousands and thousands of it... hard to understand why this doesn't happen. Lack of fantasy maybe.
