I had, and still have, both modules but not the sensory board.  I wonder how
much I could get if I were to sell the thing.

I recall that David Levy assisted with some of the programming and implemented
an opening book that would suggest themantic moves of a particular opening even
if the opponent would not always play according to book.  The program also
claimed various draws by displaying the section number of the corresponding FIDE
Laws Of Chess Handbook.  The display was a backlit piece outline LCD in the
style used by some of the less expensive Excalibur handhelds of today.  Not as
nice as a bitmap display, but far better than no board display at all.
