Hi James,

Novag UCB is a serial port device and because it uses propriety communications
protocol it requires third party driver  to work with programs like Chessbase or
Arena.

I did chose the Novag UCB because of the smaller size suits my space better and
I like the fact of having the 81 LED on the board.

It works in a basic level with this driver.

But none of the advanced functions including take back works.

Thanks for you intrest
