Go up one level in this thread


Just read Steve Lopez’s T Notes on the CB Germany site for Nov. 24, 2002.  In a
question and answer format he stated that CB8 is not compatible with UCI
engines, and that he thought CB9 would be, expected in mid-2003.  Now just how
difficult would it be for CB to provide a patch for CB8 to make it UCI
compatible?  That’s a rhetorical question, of course.
