HI Ismenio yes of course Tasc only released two different computers.. the R30(30 Mhz) and the far rarer R40(40 Mhz.) in addition,the program(the King program)was released in two versions for the unitS the 1993 version 2.2 and the 1995 version 2.5 this auction contains an R30 outfitted with the 2.5(later)King program the attached chess board is the SB20(Smart board) Tasc released two chess boards as well this one with 64 LEDS(1 ON EACH SQUARE) and the SB30 (81 LEDS-4 ON EACH SQUARE) sinse the program is version 2.5 then either the SB 20 BOARD or the SB 30 BOARD can be used if it were Version 2.2 of the program then only the SB 30 BOARD can be used as the SB20 is not compatible with version 2.2 of the King program the computer and board seem to be in very fine condition but not mint the original manual is present. missing is the original box for the Tasc computer(the box for the SB is included) also missing are the velvet pouches for the pieces(sold either in red or grey) there is what appears to be a heavy metallic briefcase to hold everything together ,which of course was not originally released by Tasc i can see that this particular unit was first sold in Europe as the Adaptor is European which means a buyer from the US or Canada will need a converter from 220 to 110 i am guessing the computer will sell for above the $1000 starting bid but at this high a starting price i think there will be little bidding activity until the closing moments no point to bidding early at that price Best Steve
