Go up one level in this thread


WELL i am glad to see that there is some interset in this topic.i will
now add my 2cents.the tasc module is a very strong machine and comes in
a beautiful casing but even i agree $1500 is a bit absurd to pay for any
one unit.however the sapphire 2 which costs under $200 or even the
atlanta(fide rated at 2300)
can now be bought for $400.i own both units and let me say that being
able to play a very strong opponent while on the train commuting to
work,or sitting on my living room couch is great!!i agree with those
that expressed anger at seeing the modular concept disapear.i owned all
four mephisto boards (mobil, modular,
exclusive and munchen"s")all of which were designed to accept new and
improved modules as the technology improved.you can imagine my disgust
when after a few short years mephisto scraped the modular concept.i
think i had about $2000 invested in theses boards!!
