Well, good question, but I think yes it does, because as far as I know Ruud has permission for these programs and its specification remains original to the manufacturer Phoenix Systems original specifications.kgvetter wrote:Does the revelation Diablo count as an original dedicated machine, Doesn't bother me, just asking...

But I am open for corrections.

The Phoenix Emulations (Rev I,Rev II,etc.)are unmodified dedicated chess computers
the speed should be the same that achieved the 2186 rating shown on the Wiki ..
i notice the Rev I Diablo also appears in the Wiki
would be fine with me if Al decided to use that one
Gracious Regards
Steve
