well if you are intent on getting a Tasc R30(and you should be)then you should
consider carefully what SB you will also buy as a seperate unit..
its hard to say which board a Tasc will come with because i have seen them sell
with either the SB 20 or 30 almost evenly
you dont want to wind up with two SB 20's OR 30'S

personally i prefer the SB20 because i consider the SB30 with the four LEDS on
each square as too busy and distracting when it indicates its move
the problem with the SB 20 is that it will not work with version 2.2 of the
program and the Tasc units were only released with 2.2(93) and 2.5(95)



bear in mind as well that in most probability you will not find a Tasc Unit for
sale without the SB board as well

my plan of attack would be..

getting a Tasc R30 V 2.5 with an SB20
and looking for a nice SB30 alone

that is how i would proceed in the hunt..
take it for what its worth to you..


and NOWAY  would i shell out more then $300 for a mint in box SB30 with pieces

thats $300 USD  not Euro even

even though both you and i could easily afford more for it,the collector in me
just cant pay more then something is worth..i can pay alittle more but not much
more



Collecting With A plan Regards
