 My best dedicated model is my Mephisto Lyon 68000 followed

sounds like a very nice collection to me as it is!
its interesting how the different playing styles of the various programmers is a
very personal acquired taste
for some strange reason i can play better against Dekoning(Tasc,Risc
2500,Montreux) then against Lang
for me the most enjoyable stlye is Kittinger as i find his style to be very
active
Schroeder is in-between for my games
i can hang on for a win or loss like a baby in diapers

well as you are well aware the Novag Star Sapphire should play at around
2150-2200 Elo but of course this is a PDA style computer
it was supposed to be compatible with the very nice Novag Universal board making
it a very nice dedicated computer with a fine wooden board and pieces(Like the
Sapphire II Deluxe)but i have never been able to succesfully get them working
together.
nor do i know of anyone who has
