Subject: Opinions needed! (On TASC R30 & Smartboard)...

Hi all: I have the opertunity to buy the disscontinued products, TASC R30 for
$400.00, and the SB30 (the smartboard with 81 LEDs), for $315.00. I'm probably
going to go for it, but I'd appreciate opinions anyway.

Questions:
* Is the disscontinued TASC products still to be considered a great product,
(Especially at the above prices),as compared to the DGT Board?

* I know the board works with Chessica & and Mephisto, as well as the Woodan
TASC module.  What other chess programs can the board be plugged into - Does
anyone know?

* Can it interface with any databases (even its own companies TASC Base II), and
or be hooked up to any Internet Chess Server's?  Does DGT board have all these
advantages by comparison?

I used to play with the TASC R30 on the smartboard, every day 4 years ago, when
I worked at Yasser Seirawan's store in Seattle - I think that's the one they are
offering to sell to me:).
