hi Tom

    Do you have any Hanimex models?

sure.. i have several,including both computers in your fuzzy photo(Hanimex and
Tandy-Radio shack)

     Any thoughts on the Hanimex?

the Hanimex computachess and computachess ll were both early model portables and
of course played a weak game of chess
the top of the line Hanimex in the early 80's  was the Hanimex CC1
it had  a very unusual peg sensory input system with long metal rods attached to
the base of the pieces which made contact with the computer to register the move
the program was the Fidelity cc1 with an expanded opening book.i should say with
 AN opening book,because the Fidelity cc1 had no book
it couldnt even Castle.perhaps thats why i can win a game or two against it
:))

Regards
Steve
