I can understand the interest of >units lacking such an interface from a historical point of view, but that's it. well even though the vast majority of dedicated computers do have a board input system(auto-sensory,pressure sensory or peg sensory)even the ones with just a keyboard input system will also have a board and pieces to play on which is much different then a palm or pc or gameboy but to each his own.. >I am not sure about the details of the project being done by Ruud Martin. Is it >a module designed to slide into an existing unit? yes it will be a module set(program and display) that can be used with any of three different Mephisto boards it will contain two different programs(like the Elite Premiere) as well as a pc serial port built into the module for direct downloads of upgrades however as we speak it is not yet released but it is due out within in the next 6-8 weeks Best Steve
