I always thought it would just be a plug-in card that your computer detects
automatically, and self installs.  The way I understand it Brutus is written
onto the chip.  That would be great if they could port it so those of us who
don't feel like spending $500 (estimate) on a chip can just install it straight
from the CD.  Of course it wouldn't play as strong, it would still be fun to
have.

I think that might be very unlikely because why would Chessbase go through all
that trouble of giving Donniger the money for the research on the FPGA just so
he can port it and be sold like any other Chessbase engine.
