==== Description: ====
Driver for Novag chess computers.
This is a user space driver to connect Novag chess computers (tested on Novag
Citrine, it could work on others) to desktop PC programs. It includes a patch
for ChessDB, which let's you enter your moves to ChessDB in real time, or
transfer the whole game when you finish. I'm working on a patch for EBoard,
which will allow you to play games on FICS (Free Internet Chess Server),
using the chess computer. AFAIK no other free or closed program can do this
so far.

It has been tested with ChessDB on GNU/Linux with a Novag Citrine. This is a
Novag Citrine: http://www.meca-web.es/images/citrine7.jpg

Observe the four LEDS rounding each slot, they will indicate your oponent's
move :-)
