   I purchased my XL in 1988.This is the Dallas program but 20% faster.
   It was put on the market to compete against the Fidelity Mach 111.

   Shortly after I purchased the Mach 111.It was defective and
   was returned.The second worked well except the lights on the A-H row
   started to dim.So I decided to sell it.

   The XL manual has 31 pages and far out-classed the Mach 111 in detail.
   I liked both machines but the XL has the best sensory touch board I
   have seen and used.Even to-day.
   Although the Mach 111 has hash tables and the XL does not it is around the
   same strength as the M3.

   Mr. Larry Kaufman wrote an article on the XL in his Computer Chess Reports
   1987-1988 on page 29.

   I still have the XL and it is in very good health and always beating
   as usual.It never seems to tire!
