              Steve,
                    I don't have this machine so I am making some assumsions
                    but It would have to be the Mephisto Vancouver 32 bit
                    with the Bavaria board.

                    Why? The board is tournament size, made of wood and
                    recognizes automatically which piece is on what square.
                    Must be a dream to set-up a position.

                    Secondly the Vancouver program has so many parameters
                    that can be varied/adjusted it is possible to infinitely
                    change it's style of play.
                    Six different opening books.Each book has tournament &
                    random setting.Plus a programable opening library!
                    And just too many features to mention.

                    If there are other dedicated machines out there more
                    feature rich than the Vancouver I would be interested
                    to hear about it.
