You can find a windowsdriver for Auto232 at the GambitSoft-homepage. It
is written by Stefan Meyer-Kahlen (Shredder) and is freeware. This
driver is build in Shredder 2 and in Nimzo 98. It is also possible to
use the Chess 232-PC-board.  I think it should be also possible the get
the Dos-protocol from GambitSoft.   For the  Smartboard you should ask
Tasc directly. They told me, that they build something like a protocoll
wich programmers simply can include in theire chessprograms. I don't
know if this is true, but it is worth a try. When you need some help for
testing your connection to the Auto232, Chess 232 or Smartboard feel
free to contact me.
