TEC schachcomputer?

Post by Larry »

Anyone even vaguely familiar with this particular model? I took a quick
look on shachcomputer.info which yielded nothing. Presumably it
unfortunately comes minus the original box or owner's manual.

PS Just found a mention over on Mike's Timeline. It's a "Toytronic",from 1981
although the only Toytronic chess comp on .info is different to the one above.

Hi Larry,
You may found the information on wikipedia:
http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/in ... chcomputer
The computer was made in Hong-Kong.
On the rear of my computer is written: " TITEL-NR.25.555.4 Made in Hong Kong".
Interesting computer for its design and its board. For Wiki, it is related to Novag Chess Champion MK II , Commodore Chessmate.
Kind regards,
Maurice
