I remember Richard telling me long ago about all the Fidelity computers he owned that where hard wired into his Mephisto machines so they could auto play against one another. Obviously a very important part of his preparation when playing in the World Microcomputer Chess Championship and Fidelity b...

Some details regarding DGT and Phoenix Chess Systems ... The cooperation between Phoenix Chess Systems and DGT was an initiative from Phoenix Chess Systems.

Revelation II AE friends, Please be advised that latest firmware is 3.33I in which a number of bugs have been resolved. I advise to upgrade to 3.33I when you can. I can sent the firmware on request, or you can get it from your chess computer shop/store where you ordered the Revelation II AE or upgra...

Hi Guys, Regarding the garbled display, i have tried here to put a 240*64 original display from the Tasc in a 1/4 part of the display from Revelation II (AE). And i only have 128*32 pixels here. When you indeed use the KEY function you will get the 240*64 Tasc display in the 256*64 Revelation II dis...

Nice work Al! My Rev goes back to the Netherlands tomorrow for the LED repair but for now I've decided to hang fire on the upgrade. Be interesting to see how you get on with the new processor. I hadn't appreciated that the old CPU would need to be returned. Hi 'Wardy', you were informed that you ca...

If you would like to receive this beta release, please give me a notice... We will try to have them available before...

Strange, it cannot calculate its own speed correctly, but plays a hell of a chess game

Dear Revelation II Users,

Just discussed with DGT 'The return of the processor". And we want to simplify things. An agreement with the customer that he will keep the old processor with the system will be sufficient. Hope this will be a better proposal to the upgrade procedure...

Also with Glasgow and the Novag Emus? I am just asking, because those Emus were only sold directly by Ruud, I never saw them at dealers webshops. Greetz, Sascha yes Sascha,- I bought a bunch of new Rev. II AE for my customers with pre-installed Retro 2019 Package and Glasgow and all the Novag Emus ...

Seems the Rev II Site finally has the registration process working in good order i was able to register recently with no problems you will need your serial number and Bluetooth address to register Undisclosed Sources tell me the new 3.14 Firmware upgrade will be posted to the site sometime next wee...

It's 13 cm from the front edge to the fields. It's just about right. What bothers me is the side rails, lifting the chessboard off the surface. I'm guessing this protects the Rev from coke spills at computer chess tournaments that Ruud goes to. :-| However, I'm guessing there's about zero other Rev...

How do you tell the computer in this situation black is at the bottom and white is to move? Thanks Steve!! "the devil is wise because he is old not because he is the devil" Regards Mike that is a little tricky there is a "reverse the board" key you must press then set up the pos...
