hi all
with all of the frenzied,wide-eyed,white knuckeled  activity due to the new
releases of Pro Deo and CM10K i feel a posting is desperately needed  about the
old Dedicated computers..

one of my all-time favorites would have to be the Fidelity Elite Premiere
the only computer to be released to contain two seperate and distinct programs
the Fidelity Mach III program (2000 Elo) and the 1991 World Champion Mephisto
Vancouver 16 bit program(2100 Elo)
Fidelity was acquired by Mephisto in 1992 and this was the first computer
released by the merged companies,therefore the dual program

the program could be switched from one to the other by way of a lever that was
located under the front panel of the computer
housed in the beautiful Elite A/G wooden board and one of the few chess
computers today that is worth more then it origanlly sold for
enjoy:
