Subject: Collector's Corner..An Odd Bird

The Intelligent Chess

only computer ever released to contain a fully working cassette deck
and only computer ever released to display the board position on a TV screen

the idea here was to be able to record the game on magnetic tape for play back
later on the TV

the player made his moves via the keyboard which was then recorded on a cassette
in the deck

one could also speak about the game as it was in progress and this would also be
recorded

the programer of this oddity was David Levy when he was with Intelligent
Software

there was also a pre-recorded cassette tape distributed with the computer
explaining the operation and annotating some recorded games


i generally dont use the recording function all that much because it tends to
record my game comments as the game proceeds and i think recording foul language
and screams of anguish are not legal to record?

anyway,i usually pop in a nice cassette by U-2 or even the Cream for my
listening pleasure during game play

seller will ship Worlwide and take Paypal

8 Track Regards
Steve
