hi Stephen
thank you for the kind words and for suffering through my posts for all of these
years
i have shown only a small number of my computers in the album
i tried to show computers and modules that are not so commonly seen elsewhere on
the net.

 Do you know of any other collector with more
>chess computers than you have ?

there is one i know of
but the quantity is not important
only the quality of the computers in the collection
a collector  can have 30 Fidelity CC7'S and say he has 30 computers
another collector can have 3 computers
Fidelity Super 9 deluxe
Mephisto Almeria 32
CXG Sphinx 50
the second collection is far better then the first


>I'm a small collector from Ohio,since 1979. But i'm still at it.

collecting from 1979!
thats good to hear
many of the present day collectors are only collecting for 10-15 years and some
even less
even the top collectors are not collecting as long as you are
you can always tell a brand new collector
he will know more then the old collectors
:))


>Just recently i won an auction on ebay, bought Saitek Kasparov Pc Autochessboard
>#573. Unfortunately it came with no manual or information of any kind,
>could you tell me anything about it?

well this is not really in my area of knowledge as it is not a dedicated
computer
however i do know of a MEPHISTO PC board that could be used to play the Rebel
program(ED Shroeder) on the computer

sorry i cant help you further

Best
Steve
