Wondering about selling some computers....

I have checked my collection and have some doubles. That includes Tasc R30 v 2.5 Tasc R30 v 2.23 Mephisto Risc 1. I am considering selling them, but it seems hard to set the price. I realize that the prices have dropped, but does anyone have an idea? I guess it is also a question of import tax when ...

Re: A Tale Of Two Chess Computers...

I got inspired and went down to play a game against the old Avant Garde Mobile Master. In the middlegame things got difficult, because the sensor on the square f4 was not responding. Work, work, work. I wonder if the sensors are of a better quality on Elite Premiere? Never had any problems with it. ...

Re: A Tale Of Two Chess Computers...

A sad story, indeed. Most of our computers has life-limited components but even if some gets broken, I am impressed by the durability. Especially the Mephistos are build like fortresses (except the MMII-module)! I hope you will find pleasure in playing with your computers again, Steve. After all tha...

Re: Collector's Corner..I Dont Think So..(Current Ebay Oddities)

Not on Ebay, but for sale in Norway. What a horrible, horrible, horrible way to treat at chess computer. Fidelity chessboards are work of art, but hanging them on the wall :evil:

Re: Cheating Allegation

To me this case will be much more interesting than Depp vs Heard :D , but I think chess will be suffering. No matter the result, the focus will be on cheating in our game. I do not understand Magnus' approach. In the best of cases it is a matter of ?! when it comes to the future of chess. We have wi...

Re: Fidelity EAG 2100 Wanted

Unfortunately I do not have the EAG 2100, but I do have a Fidelity EAG Mobile Master. I have not used it for a long time, and I am uncertain of the condition (the Fidelity leds and reed switches are not of the greatest quality), but if you are interested, I can test it and see if it works. By the wa...

Re: Fidelity EAS

I think it is difficult to see from the pictures. I seem to remember that it was possible to tell the difference by the way the leds were blinking, but I am not sure.

I did not know that the Portorose and Lyon had different display modules. I use the same with both programs.

Re: Novag Diablo LCD contrast

Are there anyone that remembers (or have the instructions) on how to change the LCD contrast on the Novag Diablo 68000 (Super Expert/Super Forte)? I have messed up the contrast somehow and can´t seem to find how to undo it now. I have a recollection about a small pamphlet in the Novag-box about thi...
