HI  Mike

>Does anyone know why Fidelity went out of business?
Fidelity sold out to Mephisto ..




  As far as I know, Fidelity
>chess computers sold as well, and were just as strong as other makes.

yes thats  right
there was no perception at the time  that Fidelity made particulary poor quality
chess computers and this had nothing to do with why they sold out to Mephisto

of course some models were more defect prone then others(the Travel Master for
example) but every manufacturer has their lemons

i have 83 Fidelity computers and most were bought when first released and i
think that over the years perhaps 5 or so developed defects

of course as time goes on there will be even more problems but this would be due
entirely to the passage of time and not to the companies quality control
