Generally speaking it is fairly difficult to determine the exact  number of
computers that were manufactured and  sold of any particular model

some  APPROXIMATE figures are known for a limited number of computers:

for example the Chess Challenger 7 sold the most number of units at between
600,000-700,000
the Tasc R40 sold less then 10(although about 25 were made)
the Chess Challenger(CC1) -1000 made and sold

even when this information is known it was not generally known by the buying
public and only those in the business of selling chess computers or collectors
gath


there is ONE  computer however  where the EXACT number manufactured and sold is
known by the  general chess computer buying  public and was WIDELY avertised at
the time of release


please indicated the EXACT name of this computer including the name of the
company that released it and the number of units made and sold

the winner as usual will be the FIRST to post the correct answer and will
receive free of all shipping costs the Fidelity Excellence(model 6080 and
EP12)rated 1800 Elo and programmed by the Spracklen husband and wife team

it will include the original box, a copy of the instruction  manual but there
are no pieces
the Excellence is pressure sensory so any piece set will work fine with it

the computer works perfectly with a normal 9 Volt adaptor and can also be used
with batteries however the battery door on the underside of the computer is
cracked and the batteries tend to fall out so an adaptor is the best way to use
the computer
the adaptor is NOT included
the computer is in very good cosmetic condition

i will ship Worldwide

the question will remain open until Sunday midnight(12pm EST) August  14 2005

the Fidelity Excellence:
