they provided it for YOU but they had no interest that
the schaetzle and bsteh-kit is amongst the top
of the ssdf-list.
this would damage the business they had with the high-end machines
they wanted to sell.

>So what?

the classes should not get out of order.

why did you leave H+G and came together with TASC running rebel
on the ARM-chess-machines when you were that much satisfied with
the H+G politics ?

as far as i see the chessmachines were as fast as a 486-33
and the 30 Mhz as fast as the 486-50/66.

>No.

no ? i don't think schaetzle and bsteh gave the 1600-1900 DM to H+G...

>The market for the turbo-kit was just too small.

thats true.

it was the end of the heavy-money machines.
pc's came...
at those times you worked with TASC on chessmachine engines,
the 286 PC's were on the market.

a 286 with a nice chessmachine, even a 386 with it was quite a nice thing.
and 486-DX machines were really expensive at those times.

but a chessmachine was really nice. i remember at those times
my friend and me had up to 10 machines running in our pc's...
