there are no dedicated chess computer companies anymore beside ruud.

e.g. there have been plans to bring out state of the art dedicated units
in SAITEK company.
but instead of continuing the plans, winkler sold the company.

game over.

i doubt that novag is still developing machines.

IMO saitek will be sold. novag is not doing anything.
millennium is selling trash-machines.

the only companie that could sell interesting machines is IMO excalibur,
but instead of selling interesting strong machines they also sell
weaker machines, not as horrible weak as millennium, but 1850-1900 ELO.
this is lower than the old 8 bit chess computers of the 90ties.

Novag is still very much in business
they have changed the name to Perfect technology ltd.
which is a name change only
they have released the Citrine last year which was the first holz schachcomputer to be released in 10 years
they have also released several new computers

yes. after novag was liquidated in 2000 they made a new company (that has the old stuff) named Perfect technology ltd.

i guess the daughter of Peter Auge is now in charge of the business.
