You know that you can get usb to serial adapters for maybe 4 dollars in china?

You do know what usb is right?

I believe that all the recent DGT boards use either USB or Bluetooth. The gray DGT FIDE digital chess clock uses old style 3 wire serial with a stereo audio plug which connects to a DGT board.

One day I'll have to see about fixing my HP notebook.

A new home for log files

Post by sje »

I have copied the log file into a new directory made just for Symbolic's log files: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/316 ... xample.log

Maybe I should add HTML log file generation to Symbolic.

I'm using HTML log files, it's nice to add color, draw chess diagrams and bitboards, but difficult to load in the web browser when the file is too big.
