I have to admit I am generally not a fan of add-on modules. They were usually
issued with great claims for the improvement in the strength and sublety of your
machine. Elo gains of 100+ were often made and time shows that most of these
claims were completely exaggerated. An exception I make is with my cherished
MGS/GGMs - Sargon, Morphy etc. They were designed around the modular idea and
nostalgia will drive me to collecting most of their modules, even the naff ones.
Even so I will probably draw the line at the opening and endgame module 'S'
variants.

And if anyone has a Sparc module for the Renaissance that is available :) email
me.
