Steve,

during the time I wrote my recent posting I received response from both guys I
mentioned!!

Herr Bucke also heard about the Diablo but did not do any modifaction on Novag
machines. As I told already, he is specialized on Fidelity. No work on Novag
machines possible.

Surprisingly also the guy who searched for the computers only heard about it
from a chessfriend on Kurts homepage, who told that this kind of "diablolic"
machine ripped a Mephisto London 68030 into pieces. I could really imagine this
;-))

So for me the net is: This machine most likely never exsited. Many have heard of
it but obviuosly nobody ever saw it.

not too disappointing regards
Stefan

P.S.: What is exactly wrong with your Scorpio? Please let me know in more detail
(by mail) maybe I can help you.
