Yes i have !  As a small collector of dedicated chess machines since 1983, i
have played many of them. I don't collect anymore, as a matter of fact i've sold
off some of them. But, i still have 10 or so, lolol.
The strongest dedicated machine i have is the Mephisto Genius 68030. The second
would be the (same machine, different modul) Vancouver 32 Bit.
