It is propably the most useless computer in the world!
I need to get one as well!

I think the French made Alice was more useless.

The first model was just a copy of the US Tandy TRS-80 MC-10, in a toy-like red colour.

:lol:

I feel Dragon 32 wibes here :D.

That's so true !

Trouble is, over Christmas I bought the Aquarius and the 600XL. I am definitely buying an MSX, and then I would like an Enterprise if the price is right.

Then I'm sure I will think of something else, I'm hopelessly addicted!!

It'll probably be some obscure Soviet Spectrum clone :lol: :lol: :lol:

Perhaps I should sell off some of my STs :shock:

Awww damn, you've done it now!!

Maybe I'll go for a Dragon before the Enterprise as they are cheaper and more available :) (Jumps over to eBay tab in browser and starts looking!!)

You have an interesting website in Hungarian (with English translation at the bottom of the page) related to mods for Enterprise computers.

Just browse through the archives on the left:

I tested it this morning, and the answer is not really, but not really better either. They are a little harder then standard Speccy keys IMHO, and because they don't have the Spectrum keyword system, typing is probably a little easier, but the keys are rather small, and although that means they are quite solid for typing with, they are quire small under your fingers. I guess as a kid this wasn't a problem.

The RETURN key is also oddly placed. at the bottom right, though I do like the RST key that has a plastic fence around it.

It's a shame the Z key is missing it's top, I'll have to figure out a way of repairing it.

Yes, and if you go with the Dragon 32, just check the following Retrohax page:
