Go up one level in this thread


Hi Bob,

why don't have an interface connection layer (engine <-> ICL <-> device) that
supports both Winboard and auto232 and many other nice things (TASC board,
Mephisto board, DGT board, Fritz user interface, Chessbase analysis interface,
...)?

Clearly different device level implementations of the same basic concept are
needed by people with mutually exclusive desires, so to solve this once and for
all a dynamical library would be perfect.

Of course there is some work involved, but if you read this thread carefully you
will probably agree that again going straight for some kind of device driver
(Winboard protocol) is not the best possible solution.
