I didn't think a protocol would be necessary. You just route all output that would have gone to the screen to the serial port (perhaps minus the board display), and listen on the serial port for the same commands you would normally expect from the user. It would be up to the WinBoard plugin writer to translate this dialogue to and from the WinBoard protocol. This is basically what I did with the existing SapphireII serial protocol (which I partially had to reverse engineer; Novag's documentation was almost a decade out of date). Ian
