Hi,

I have a "Mephisto PC Board" which I think is the same than the Saitek but I am
not sure. It communicates with the PC with a parallel interface.
I was able to play with it with an old version of Chessgenius, and I think that
Virtual Chess also is able to handle it. I have no clue of using it with Fritz
or Chessmaster.

I don't have any information about the protocol used, I must admit that I did
not yet take the time to investigate... I have first to build my Renaissance
interface (and then write the associated software).

Best,
Alain
