There should be some nice ones on the tape, but nothing like Chess Ingenuity.

The ST225 will format to 20.1mb.  There are lots of places to get controllers
for a RB, just avoid DEC.  Suitible Solutions (sorry, I don't have the number)
sells controllers, and they are also (I beleive) the folks you talk to about
Windows.
