You're very welcome, Steve. Your explanations are very interesting. >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 Yes, this is a little bit tricky, I know what you mean. It's not the eproms that much as that I have sometimes angst to destroy the casing... But I don't change them too often. At the moment I have the London eprom inside so I can let it play against the Res... ahem. I didn't want to torture you again. :)) So you're right: one day I'll probably go for all (not really all, just 68020) modules but for now this solution is okay for me. >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 You're right again: the Roma 68020 is on my agenda too. The Glasgow, since it's weaker will be a later target (but it's collectable for me either). > And the Novag Robot which probably won't >>be in my reach for a long time.

This is one of those rare exceptions. It's not wooden, however looks very cool and has this very rare robotic feature. Very collectable, despite it's low elo. >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 >:)) This will be a very sad day for all collectors since there's almost noone with your knowledge about schachcomputers... :/ > >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 If I see one, I'd get it for you.

Super Conny could be one of those exceptions. Again: maybe later. :)) Strategical Regards, Martin
