The Enterprise 64 arrived today. Here are the first unboxing pic @rubber_jonnie
I cant find any cables to test it out yet. It does look like it needs a bit of TLC no idea where I will get a replacement joystick tip.
Enterprise 64 - An 8 bit that just missed the boat
Re: Enterprise 64 - An 8 bit that just missed the boat
Looks good @Icky , I'd 3d printer joystick if nothing else.
Still want one of those myself.

Re: Enterprise 64 - An 8 bit that just missed the boat
Very nice indeed @Icky I am quite jealous!!
I'll have to put that on my IWOOT list, but an MSX is next. Was hoping the Aquarius would be here today, but no such luck!!
Looking forward to seeing pics of it running and the internals. Didn't they do a 128KB and 512KB variant too?

Re: Enterprise 64 - An 8 bit that just missed the boat
They did a 128 version but I believe there are modern 512K boards out there. If I recall when wondering through the Enterprise forumrubber_jonnie wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 3:58 pm Very nice indeed @Icky I am quite jealous!!

Re: Enterprise 64 - An 8 bit that just missed the boat
Wooo! Nice.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Re: Enterprise 64 - An 8 bit that just missed the boat
Just looked at the Wiki entry and see the 128 was the biggest, but I do seem to recall, back when it was being touted as the next best thing, that they said up to 512KB would be available, or maybe I'm just remembering it wrong.Icky wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 4:09 pmThey did a 128 version but I believe there are modern 512K boards out there.

I definitely need to get one of these at some point. Did yours come with the BASIC cartridge?
EDIT: Wait, I think I see the BASIC cart in the box Also, is it me or does it have a bit of the shape of an ST about it?

Re: Enterprise 64 - An 8 bit that just missed the boat
My ex-missus had one of those. She said she loved it. Personally, Ive never seen one. Great buy!
Having the box just makes it extra special doesnt it?

Funnily enough @rubber_jonnie , Ive got one of those knocking around in a box somewhere (along with other random stuff like an MSX joystick and other 'foreign parts' for systems I dont and never have had).rubber_jonnie wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 6:26 pm
