Four models of ComputaChess 2...

Unread post by CHVL » Sun Aug 27, 2017 10:22 pm

A little curiosity: 4 computers identical (or only few variations).
Four ComputaChess 2 are presently on eBay.
I have the four of them.

Their simultaneous presence on eBay is an opportunity to speak about the not well documented computers UNIMEX, CGL and CXG.

!) UNIMEX 2 SP-5003 Chess II Portable (1983)
The color of the board is white and the legends are in blackn. On the front of the board, a label Unimex.
According to the rear label, the computer was produced by Unimex, West Germany. The photo associated with this computer shows it clearly.

2) CGL COMPUTACHESS 2 (1983)
The color of the board is light brown and the legends are in white.
This is a CGL 0108 model made in Hong-Kong.

3) CXG COMPUTACHESS 2 (1983)
The color of the board is white and the legends are in black. On the board, CXG logo in red.
This is a CXG-002, White and Allcock, made in Hong-Kong.

4) CGL Grand Master Sensory 2

Made in Hong-Kong

Only the UNIMEX was not made in Hong-Kong... amd also, no mention of White and Allcock.
The CGL Grand Master Sensory 2 shares the same design than the ComputaChess 2, but is different in term of software.
I didn't look at the hardware for now.
