Hi Brian

new dedicated chess computers are still being made but not by very many
companies
the sponser of this board sells new chess computers and one is even in a wooden
auto sensory board

look here:

older used computers such as your Saitek Stratos are sold everyday on Ebay
depending on condition and model, there is a huge market for them

your Stratos is worth perhaps $200 or so
there were a couple that sold within the last month on Ebay

Best
Steve
