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.

Looks good @Icky , I'd 3d printer joystick if nothing else.

Still want one of those myself.

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?

They did a 128 version but I believe there are modern 512K boards out there. If I recall when wondering through the Enterprise forum

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.

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?

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).
