Maybe this was a misunderstanding. Maybe he wanted to find a reason NOT to test
your program. I remember in older ssdf-list they often spoke about their
"resources" problem and that they cannot test hiarcs on 486-66 but only on 33
mhz
because they had to give all those "resources" to genius instead :-))

This was when Hiarcs was world-chess champion in 1993/1993.

So the resources-problem definetely seems to be an authentic problem they had.
maybe this was only a sentence you misinterpreted diep. it was not a request
that YOU should send him a machine, but a kind of : "oh - we have so much to do
and not enough computer !" kind of statement.
