Subject: A call to arms for fellow CCC members

Hello everyone,

After receiving a Novag universal chess board, I have discovered that the only
way I can utilize the board is to use a winboard adapter which simulates a PC
engine.

This of course works perfectly when playing serious games. However winboard
adapter can not take back moves.

The last official driver from Novag’s site  is from 2001 and it is for Fritz6.
And it does not work properly. I have tried it on WindowsMe, Windows2000 and XP
with no luck.

Let me cote you a section from the UCB manual.

“NOVAG will endeavor to upgrade these instructions whenever new and popular
chess software programs are available on the market.”

Now Novag is still in the market. Here is their contact information

Perfect Technology Ltd.
Rm. 406-407, Yu Yuet Lai Building
43-55 Wyndham Street,
Central, Hong Kong
Tel:  (852) 2810 8202
Fax:  (852) 2810 8177
E-Mail:  sales@novag.com
Web Site:  www.novag.com

If enough of us contact them regarding updated and working native drivers for
the UCB we may force them to act on it.

Please call, write or email Novag and let them know as future customers we
expect them to support their own products.

Please be polite and use real email address in case they reply.

I thank you for helping out

Best

Murat :.
