Phantom: everything about it finally known

[Alainza]

Hi Steve,

also the Sparc is by the Spracklens..2218 (SS) with 1mb
the Sparc 4mb is about 2240

yes, but the Sparc was not written during Fidelity's period, so I guess that Excalibur does not have any rights on this program ?

If the Phantom was based on Sparc program then it would be an even more great news !!!

But I don't think so regards,
Alain

yes - but HOW shall the excalibur reach the 2150 with a H8 ? and HOW much hash ?

you say somewhere it has magnet sensor (reed) contacts and not press-sensory ?

to me the machine would only be interesting if it is in the range of 2150 or more, that means:

the range of
sparc 2224
atlanta 2187
diamond II/star diamond
vancouver 2100

i would pay 250 Euro if the machine really is capable to play in this group.

the Phantom will be pressure sensitive
i dont recall saying it has reed contacts??

you are right Alain
the program will have NOTHING to do with the Spracklens or the Sparc or any program they wrote for Fidelity


it will come in two different models though

[mclane]

the program will have NOTHING to do with the Spracklens or the Sparc or any program they wrote for Fidelity


it will come in two different models though

?? didn't fernando said it is spracklen ??

who wrote it ?

rotlevi-rubinstein 22...Rxc3!!

i was surprised my SPARC 1MB is not (much) faster than the
MachIII.

i could imagine that my module has no hash e.g. as a possible hardware problem. for finding out i need somebody with either a sparc 1MB or 4MB doing a computation too.

thank you.

a new dedicated chess computer in this playing strength area is IMO more interesting than rybka/strelka issue

i wrote here Rxc3 first then changed it to BxB


you have a Sparc I MB
all Sparcs have at least 1 MB
Steve

OH you suspect something is wrong with your IB?
is that it?

i have both 1 MB AND 4 MB sparcs
i will test both this weekend
