Hi Steve,

although I´ve never has such a PC chess board, I remembered that there´s
a special starting parameter for Fritz3 to use an external board.
After looking in my old documents, I think (or hope) I´ve found it:

Start Fritz3 with the parameter /LPT1

This is waiting for signals from the parallel port 1, where your Mephisto
PC board should be connected (I assume that it has a parallel connector?).
I have never tried this for myself, but I hope it works.

Best wishes,
Franz.
