Enterprise 64 - An 8 bit that just missed the boat

[mrbombermillzy]

I must admit, I did think about getting an Enterprise a while ago. .

Then I just think of the old Chinese proverb: 'Too many projects, not enough time', and that bursts that bubble and I carry on with my life. :)

Interesting, I didn't even know these existed. Still debating what my next project might be :D

Just looking at these on eBay and I'm rather surprised to see there are quite a few in Egypt, though the shipping costs drag the price up quite a bit.

@Icky You know you need this right? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284594765454 ... SwhDRh1JRG

Stop trying to get me to spend money to make you feel better for buying that Aquarius @rubber_jonnie :D

I got mine from the UK. The Egypt ones are a tad expensive.

I already have my one from the late 80's and works fine with the ZX Spectrums.

I'm only trying to reduce my own guilty feelings :)

I have a TZXDuino on the way too. Also have one of these:

I need to test it with the Spectrums, see how they like it.

Time to sort out the membrane on the Enterprise, am looking forward to this as the Enterprise is a bit of an unknown to me.

I have noticed two things. The whole case seems to be warped i.e. the computer doesn't sit flat on a flat surface. Second three function keys are sticking. The first one I figured out as there was a screw put in at the back of the keyboard where as it should be from the underside of the case all the way through to clamp it all together. Removing the screw and doing it properly straightened the case out a bit.

I have also noted a few components that may need replacing but that will be for another time.


Watch out gratuitous pictures alert:
