Subject: Collector's Corner.Modified Fidelity EAS On Ebay

This is the so called Fidelity Elite "Version 11"

i say so called ,because it was not an officially released computer by Fidelity
which only released the EAG to version 10

however a private individual in Germany offered this modification by replacing
the normal hardware of an Elite AG or AS and installing  a 68060 processor over
clocked to 72 Mhz

normally this modification could be had by contributing your computer along with
1500 Euro

i think most of these Version 11's were made out of Elite A/G computers but here
is an Elite A/S with the modification on Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Fidelity-Schachcomputer-Elite-Avantgarde-68060-72MHz_W0QQitemZ8722215987

while i have mentioned many times on these pages that i personally have no
interest in modified computers ..some collectors do

a quick perusal of the bidders list already shows several Top collectors and
also a few Rank and File already in the fight for it

with only 6 hours into the bidding we have 12 bids and almost $900

i imagine the price should not pass 1500 Euro +the cost of a defective EAG(say
another 300 Euro) otherwise you can get this done directly from the guy who does
this operation
i believe he still offers the modification,but perhaps he no longer does

Modified Regards
Steve
