Do you have a page about the disk controller card? I am intrigued!

This is one original card. (many other clones exist)

Thanks for that! Yes, sounds like a plan. So would the drives used with Ataris/Amigas be ok?

Not a proble, I'm swimming in PSUs. Should have a 5V unit somewhere.

What's a typical price for a controller card?

Ian.

Arabic EP64 on the UK eBay.
And now the UK eBay is full of with Enterprise items from hungarian sellers. 128K machines, tapes and etc.

EP64 on the spanish eBay, started at 1 euro.
The previously linked boxed EP64 is still available on the spanish eBay.

Happy new year one and all!!

Thanks! I did manage to obtain both the card and the bus bridge just after Christmas (eBay items 230201032730 and
230201028468). They cost me rather a lot, but I decided what the hell, they are not going to appear very often,
so I will treat myself for xmas.

I have just been testing the card and bridge with a dual-drive unit from a BBC-Master system, everything
seems to work fine! Thankyou for your help!

So that's the storage system sorted out. The next thing I want to do is construct a proper RGB monitor
connection as the RF picture quality is very bad. Has anyone written a clear page on how to do this?


To Tricky: I haven't forgotten about you! I will scan the docs as soon as I can, just been very busy after new
year with work.

Cheers!

Ian.

here's an ep128:
ebay

The above 64 is very interesting, but I'd only be interested in the exdos module. I have 3 enterprise computers already

also:
lots of stuff from the same seller, including private enterprise magazines

lots of stuff from the same seller, including private enterprise magazines

I will bid for the magazines, because not I won the latest magazine auction. (mapesdhs won )

Yes, I was going to, but I wasn't going to bid that high since I have already obtained a working 5.25" setup, so
don't worry about me.

I was more interested in the peripheral items. Only going to bother with the main system if the bidding hadn't gone
sky high already.


> I also want the EP64 thats appeared  - got 2 EP128's but no 64 !!

Way over my budget.   On the other hand, I did spend quite a lot to get the EXDOS card and bridge...


Btw, here is a good book I would recommend:

  http://www.digitalretro.co.uk/

Alas it does not include the Enterprise. I spoke with the author; he said the Enterpise isn't covered because
he couldn't find anyone who had a system he could take pictures of, etc. I said if he ever did a future revision
then he would be welcome to come and take pictures of the EP128 I have; he said sure, that would be great,
though he's not certain yet that he will do a newer edition (he would like to, but has other commitments).

But anyway, it's a very nice book. Excellent pictures. I bought two: one for me, one for my brother for xmas/07.

Ian.

Hello Ian!Thanks! In the meantime Tricky asked the seller, and he do photocopies to we :-)See the Shockwav3's auction previously.
Or the EP64 on spanish Ebay.
Or offer a good price to me for a EP128+disk controller card

Hello. I have a loved EP128, only used with tape and few Basic programs writen by me. I want to buy a disk controller and maybe the future IDE controller or other proyects. I don't know the actual value of that item but if  you can shell me it.....
