Yes, at the german toy trade fair in Nuremberg 2000, Novag presented the "NOVAG star sapphire". It was said that it will have an improved Sapphire program. It has a touch sensitive LCD board (some will remember the "Savant", which already had one) and an IR port to connect with an electronic chess board. It was reported that the processor will be the 68EZ328 with 256 KB RAM. As the scheduled release date, October 2000 was given. This device looks very attractive indeed; I don't understand why Novag doesn't update their website. I only hope that there will be a pc connection possible too (preferably via the IR port), to transfer PGN games or positions. But this was not mentioned in the report (Computer-Schach und Spiele 2/2000). Regards, M.Scheidl
