From my experience with the Tasc Board, I can tell that the support of it by
several programs different, in terms of available functions, etc.

But I have found the following programs to work fine with the Tasc Board:

Kallisto 97 Aegon
Fritz 3
Genius 3
Hiarcs 7.01

and the TascBase; all these progs are for DOS. To use them with the board, they
are started via an additional EXE which cares for the inidividual adaptation
(except for the TascBase IIRC).

Windows: Chessica, and (most interesting probably): Chessmaster 6000.

In Chessmaster 6000, the Tasc Board support wasn't documented IIRC, but works
very well. You would have to activate it by an INI setting in CM.ini. I think it
is called "UseTascBoard=1" or similar. Easy to find. There's also a little test
program for the board on the CD.
