Thanks!

It is a modified Spectrum ROM, the HW routines converted for the Enterprise HW, and can run BASIC programs. The most of the machine code programs use own routines for accessing keyboard, sound, etc, these can't run via SW emulator.

In Hungary many similar SW emulator writed, there is the collection. (http://www.ep128.hu/Ep_Util/Prg/Spectrum_Emulator.rar)

It is works only with 128K memory.

How it is work? With the normal SAVE command make a Spectrum tape sound.

May be... It was written in 1992-93 in a lack of any info about how Enterprise is organized... Today is the first day I've accidentally found info about Enterpise in Wiki, then I've downloaded a ep128 emulator, got my Enterprise cassete recorder and five cassetes from an attic (the computer unfortunately was sold in 1996)... I was suprised that approximately 60% of the programs in that cassetes, including SP2, successfully loaded into my notebook)) That's the real nostalgia and fine feelings)) Thank you))

It's great!
Do you have some other own programs?

There're some rules about native ZX Spectrum cassetes and how to deal with snapshots, which I forgot to tell:
1. Before any native ZX cassete operations (load or save) it is nessessary to press F1 in order to increase the memory access timeout, so that the system gets approximately the same with the ZX Spectrum performance
2. After the native ZX cassete operations press F2 to resume the normal memory access timeout
5. After loading Spectrum program and completing any operations you want to be stored in snapshot, press F5. You will return to the Enterprise enviroment... By the way, typing ":sp" will return you to the same situation in the Spectrum machine, which was held in the moment you've pressed F5
6. To save a snapshot type ":sp $....."
7. To load a snapshot type ":sp #....."

Thanks! Really nice to see Enterprise softwares from other places than Hungary!
You are very innnovative! You would have been one of the big programmers if you would have been a bigger Enterprise community member and have a more informations about the machine!

It is works with memory expansion?

Thanks! I've got my Enterprise in 1989, when I was 15, and it was my first computer, so I had a good example of how the computer must be)

It always leaves 64 K to the system and all other memory allocates to ramdisk. As  I remember you should change two bytes somewhere in code to increase the system memory

It also supports some commands, such a COPY, REN, DEL, FORM

Your Enterprise is also come from Hungary? Or one of machines which are exported to the Soviet Union?

From Hungary, it had a manual in Hungarian, so this manual was almost useless for me)

And which other documentations you have? Do you have the EXOS 2.1 technical informations (http://ep.homeserver.hu/Dokumentacio/Konyvek/EXOS_2.1_technikal_information/index.html)?

And how many Enterprise owners exist at this time in your city? Only you?

The SP1 emulator had been written in totaly lack of any Enterprise documentation... the SP2 and any later programs were written with the EXOS and EXDOS documents

I have absolutely no information about any owners of the Enterprise computers here in Moscow, RF

Wow! It's a hard work to write programs to any computer without any documentations!

Which EXDOS documents do you have?
