The program runs, but I cant make the pieces move. I'll keep trying. Hi, there's an option 'Anticipate' in Chessica which makes the program almost unusable - it's usually called 'Permanent Brain' or 'Ponder', but when this option is activated, the program is responding VERY slowly to any mouse clic...

Hi, I don't have the CD, nevertheless I run Chessica 1.1 for Windows, using Win3.11 with DosBox. Here you can download a package. If you already have DosBox and Win3.11 configured on your PC, you can just get and install accordingly the chessica sub-directory. Tasc Tutor is not included in the abov...

Does anyone have and could make available this cd? I found on internet archive but could not make it work.

Does it run on DOS or windows only?

Looks like to be abandonware soft since Tasc is long gone.

Any info about the subject will be highly appreciated.

Playing very old stuff regards

Hi,

My Milano does not turn on anymore.

I couldn't find a reset hole and the manual says nothing.

Is there a way to reset it?

Thanks in advance

Well , what I recall is that Ron was Excalibur engineer, but the Mirage was designed (the mechanical system) by the contracted company (Chinese?). Remember that john is an electronic engineer, he designed the body of the game to fit the electronics parts, but mechanical design is another thing.

I avoid adapters whenever possible, I had some problems with it in my computers in the past, so I use mainly recheargeble batteries. interesting how folks can differ on this personally I avoid batteries whenever possible and will only use an adaptor I have seen far too many computers with corroded ...

I miss him too, although I never have interacted direct with him, but I often use the search feature of the forum where I can find many long but interesting posts from him.

Maybe if he read this thread he comes back.

I avoid adapters whenever possible, I had some problems with it in my computers in the past, so I use mainly recheargeble batteries. But if you want to buy one, avoid the cheap Chinese ones, pay attention in the nominal voltage (V) and maximum current (mA). Only buy regulated ones, i.e. they don't v...

Price?

Hi, I Just replaced the magnets of a Team Mate pieces. I removed the old magnets with a small scissor and used neodymium magnets. I glued a felt in the base and it is perfect. I can put the game upside down and the pieces stay firmly in the position. The strong neodymium do not affect the electronic...

Therefore part of these posts is discussing and comparing a wrong Master Chess. The discussion is around RS2250XL, RS2200 and RS Master Chess (totally different comp...
