could you tell us, >in better detail than I, about the early Mephisto model I mentioned? Hi Terry as you correctly pointed out, Hagener and Glazier released their first dedicated chess computer in the early 1980's it was 1980 and was called the "MEPHISTO"..soon after.. releasing the Mephisto II(1981) both were hand-held portables with an LCD display and key-in move entry system you needed a seperate chess board to play a game (unless of course you can play blindfold chess) the Mephisto I played at about 1250 ELO The Mephisto II could be attached to a wooden auto-sensory board or a plastic auto-sensory board.both of which were quite expensive for US-CANADA buyers STEVE > >Terry
