Re: Millennium Exclusive
I purchased a Millennium Exclusive recently and I am very satisfied with the machine. The piece recognition makes playing effortless and the program is very strong. The speed increase makes it considerably stronger than the plastic Millennium Pro. Even as a retired 2400 FIDE, I find the Millennium ...

MCG
I got a MCG for Xmas and decided to play it a few games. It is stronger than I expected. I have both a Vancouver 68000 and a Mephisto Master and the MCG seems stronger than both (although my sample size is only a few games). I am an inactive FIDE Master who was rated nearly 2400 FIDE 20 years ago. I...

Mephisto Montreaux
I would be interested in buying the computer as well. Maybe you should relist it on ebay? I am looking for a powerful, dedicated machine. I could pay with paypal as well. I am located in the USA

Battery Issue
Thanks everybody for your help. That make sense chessg, I should have realized there was a small battery retaining the information. I opened up mine and I see it is (apparently) soldered into place- yuck. I will have to have a friend held me replace it. The battery is also a BR-2032 instead of a CR-...

Re: Mephisto Vancouver Exclusive Problem
Thanks for the information. It does seem odd that one would have to enter even the default language each and every time they power on the machine. It's enough of a flaw that I will probably dump this machine on Ebay at some point in the future and live with the generic plastic Mephisto Master

Mephisto Vancouver Exclusive Problem
Hello everybody, I recently purchased a Mephisto Vancouver 68000 Exclusive on EBay. The unit is in excellent condition and runs great except for one problem. It does not seem to save the game (or settings) overnight. If I turn it off and back on with maybe an hour or so it does recall the game and s...

Re: Mephisto MMII from eBay
Thanks for information Steve and Nick. I bit the bullet and bought the MMII on eBay that has gone unbid on for a few auctions, possibly because of only ~25 feedback results. I paid $275 with shipping. Hopefully it works; at least the display was on in the photos. Richard I saw that one... it was pr...

Thanks Carl, I did win a Saitek Mephisto Master about a month ago (I assume that is what you called a Saitek Master). It seems pretty strong although the plastic board is not fun to play on. I assume this would play at about the same level? I usually set it for 40 moves in 3 hrs and play it while do...

Market Value
Thanks, he listed it for $650 US dollars and he got zero bids the first time around. I guess I should have jumped on it!
