Thanks for the response: Unfortunately the DGT board does not do what I want. Although it has many nice features, it has no LED's and hence can't do what I am trying to get the Universal board to do. If I have to look at a computer screen to see the computers response, this to some degree defeats the purpose of using an external board. Listening for move announcements is even worse... I did get the Novag board working well as a Winboard engine in CM9K, but I would much prefer to use Rebel or Fritz as an opponent ... Peter.
