This arrived today.....
markup_1000008757.jpg
And is amusingly so similar to what was
@stephen_usher's secret project.
Its supposed to work (sort of), so I'll test it. Then take it apart to give it a good going over.
I think it's a 48K version but will find out shortly. I may start a mini blog about it later on.

Apparently the 48K is the most compatible with software.... Was there much software for the machine anyway? :-)

I did have a look the other day. Lets just say the MTX software library looks huge in comparison.

Okay, so maybe I lied when I said I'd finished my 8 bit computer collection. Just had to get one of these and now we're done with 8 bits I wanted as a teenager.

Same here... other than buy and MTX new in December '84. :-)
@PhilC did this come from Egypt by any chance? :-)

@stephen_usher I suspect the person I got it from may have obtained it from there.
It works apparently but I've not tried it yet.

You got one @PhilC and an intact joystick.
Mine also came from Egypt. There are a lot of mods for the Enterprise does this one have any already? It's a lovely machine.

I must confess that it's a 3d printed joystick knob and expansion port cover. I'll resin print some better ones.
I've been assured it works but not tried it yet. I do intend to make a spectrum emulator cart and the 1.5mb ram upgrade for it.
