The adapter is not original but is perfectly functional.

If desired, I can provide PDFs of the test by chess player Max Pam and a 10-page manual in Dutch.
Some reviews of this remarkable and rare chess computer:
Source: unknown to me
Exactly on February 1, 2015, I came across the CXG Super Computachess on the internet. I was, of course, flabbergasted, because in Spain, this extremely rare chess computer was being offered for sale for the mere amount of €40. The seller probably had no knowledge of its collector's value, because he could just as easily have asked €400 for it!
I emailed Luuk Hofman about this shocking offer, and before I knew it, Luuk had already bought this rather unknown model.

CXG Super Computachess from 1984.
An article about an old and rare chess computer, because 30 years is indeed quite old.
You may frown upon this, but it is written for members whose hearts still race for so-called 'dedicated' computers, meaning machines that can only play chess.
And when the word 'rare' is mentioned, I can name many people whose ears perk up and who become curious.
The Super Computachess (indicated on the back side CC 009) is a large unknown in the
chess computer world. I acquired this computer through a kind of marketplace in Spain. The
Opdruk was in Swedish. A question from Hans van Mierlo on the forum at Schachcomputer.info suggested that it might be an improved 4K program of the Enterprise S, with a faster crystal (7 MHz?) and possibly only very briefly available on the market.
Programmer is probably Kaare Danielsen, who also wrote the program for the Enterprise S.

In May 1985, the versatile journalist, writer, and chess player Max Pam wrote an extensive test report on 12 chess computers in the popular scientific magazine 'Kijk'.
CXG Super Computachess (= Multitech CC-009) performs excellently in this test!
Even plays better than the more expensive Multitech CC-006 (= CXG Chess 2001!).
In short, 'Super' Computachess remains a very special chess machine.
May 1985: Max Pam's test for the popular science magazine. Look at no less than twelve chess computers.
Max Pam: The surprising good performance of the Multitech CC-009. This machine is actually much stronger than its more expensive sibling, the CC-006.
In an exciting battle, the CC-009 even managed to defeat the Exclusive, thereby bringing the group under his name.

The CXG Super Computachess was likely intended as a mass-market chess computer when it was announced at the Nuremberg toy fair in 1984. This is suggested by its design, hardware, and the designation CXG 009. Like some other similar machines, production clearly hardly began before it was discontinued. We can only speculate about the reason. In this respect, it is comparable to the SciSys Chess Partner 6000 and SciSys Courier V, which are also on my rare list. Perhaps production was quickly switched over to its almost identical twin, the Multitech CC-009, which itself seems to have been sold in relatively small quantities and only in a few countries on the European mainland.
The Super Computachess has the same hardware as the CXG Enterprise S, Computachess III, and Star Chess, with the Hitachi HD6301V1 processor running Kaare Danielsen's popular 4KB program at a clock speed of about 1.7 MHz. Its twin brother, the Multitech CC-009 (also called Enterprise), has the same hardware and the same program, with only minor external differences, as shown in the photos (below) of the two machines together. Strangely, despite the low quantities, both the Super Computachess and the Multitech CC-009 are available in a brown and blue version.
