Die beiden sind baugleich. Leider kann ich im Web nirgendwo eine BDA dazu finden. Offenbar sind beide ziemlich selten. Kann jemand helfen?

Haben Sie es mit dem BDA für CXG Titan versucht? Die sollen ja Klone sein...
Es ist in deutscher Sprache auf der Website von Alain Zanchetta verfügbar.

Danke für den Tip. Ja, der Sphinx Titan (wie auch Advanced Star Chess, Chess 3008, Super Enterprise und Super Crown) gelten als Klone des Merlin. Soweit BDA's verfügbar, scheinen sie alle auch die gleiche Tastenbelegung zu haben. Bis auf den Merlin, der weicht bez. Anzahl und Beschriftung der Tasten z.T. ab. Aber vielleicht kann man sich da hereinfuchsen, Mal sehen.

I have the Swedish manual for CXG Super Crown (CXG 218) if it's of interest.
Lars

Thank you. Yes, Swedish ist better than nothing. I will try to translate it by software. How can I get your document? E-mail or download?

Regards, Klaus

Lars, could you give me an information in advance? Which key combination lets the computer play white?
Klaus

I'll send it as OCR:d PDF to your mail. You can PM me your mail address.

To let computer play White:
Press "MOVE".
The computer can only play as white from other side of the board.
Lars

Ahhh, it seems, the CXG Super Crown has the same key attachment as CXG Super Enterprise, CXG Sphinx Titan etc., but not the same as Mephisto Merlin 16K. I suppose, MOVE (Super Crown) relates in a certain way to ENTER (Merlin 16K), but acts differently. Thus, both machines are not 100% equivalent. I fear, your CXG Crown manual won't help me. Nevertheless, thanks for your efforts!

Regards, Klaus

In the meanwhile, I found a photo of the CXG Crown with readable key inscriptions. It seems, that the Mephisto Merlin 16K is a true clone of the CXG Super Crown. The sequence of keys ist the same, but the key inscriptions differ:

Using this conversion table, the manual of the CXG Super Crown can be used for the Merlin 16K, too.

Lars, you have been right in your statement that the MODE/ENTER key must be pressed to make the computer plays white. I didn't check that the chess pieces have to change sides.

Best regards, Klaus

Sorry, I meant that the manuals of the CXG Sphinx Titan and other clones (available at Alain Zanchetta's web site) can be used for the Merlin 16K, too.
