Go up one level in this thread


(well, maybe there is one unit you don't have yet -- I'm sure you
>know which is on my mind) *ggg* .

thats it..continue the torment
:))

serial number 1    but probably the last to receive it
i just hope i get it before they show up on Ebay

very powerfully strong(ELO) chess computers
some comments if i may on your Mephisto collection..

>Tasc R30 v2.5 SmartBoard 30 & SmartBoard 20

>Mephisto Exclusive Lyon 68020
>    Eproms: Almeria, Portorose, Vancouver, London
>    Risc II, Dallas 68020, Amsterdam, MMIV, B&P modules

as i am not so good at changing eproms so i try to get the whole module
if i only collected the eprom i would need an eprom copier because i would
manage to destroy 1 out of every two i replaced

you need in here the Glasgow S and at least one of the three Romas to have at
least one version of all Mephisto Weltmeister programs


 And the Novag Robot which probably won't
>be in my reach for a long time. But I can wait. :)

this a bit puzzling to me
certainly not a strong computer at all(mid 1400-1500 Elo)
why are you interested in it?
the Robotic Arm Aspect??


>Btw, is there any computer (except the Bogol and A/G v5) you're still looking
>for?

yes of course
it will be a sad day for me if i finally find everything i am searching for
however when i do find them all,i will stop posting on this and Kurt's forum ..
so i guess it will be a sad day for me,but a happy day for all those bored with
my posting
:))

i am searching for the following computers:
FIDELITY
	SX12-BUDAPEST
	ELITE A/G-V5
	ELITE A/G-V8
	ELITE A/G-V10
MEPHISTO
	WONDER MACHINE

CXG
	CHESS 3018
	SPHINX 68000-40Mhz.
	SPHINX 68000-50Mhz.

PERI
	ALPHA
	GAMMA
	EPSILON
EXOTIC
	CLJ L'EMPEROUR
	OMIKRON BOGOL ASB 5.0

i once owned the L'Emperour but sadly was forced to trade it away for other rare
computers
the Sphinx 40 is a puzzlement to me as i see that many collectors can get one
and yet it eludes me
i do have the Sphinx 40 Limted Edition but i must have all you know
:))




  Anything you don't have and wouldn't
>think of collecting, although it's a real oldfashioned dedicated chess computer?

i considered this a diffrent question so  i answered it seperatly

yes ..i also do not care for the Fidelity Designer computers and there were many
of them
i only have the Mach III and Mach IV designers and will not collect any others

i also dont care for some of the earlier Scisys plastic computers such as the
Superstar or Companions

same for the Novag plastic Sensor Dynamic or Dynamic S or even the regular
Conny.
but i do have the Super Conny


Long Winded Regards
Steve
