It says "El Inglés es divertido", that is a known program.What is it?
You already found the same text under a Batman tape sticker long ago on 2006....
I think "English is fun", but oriented to the Spanish market. Probably a stock recovered when Proeinsa(the Spanish dealer) returned all to the UK.But the English fun (http://ep128.hu/Ep_Util/English_Fun.htm) is a Hungarian version.

Off topic: Written French is very understandable for a Spanish reader, but all that comprehension stops when they open the mouth with al the "ggglll" sounds....Some practice can help you understand some of their speech, or is it not true at all?
Not sure.I remember I see it somewhere :oops:

It isn't Dutch, it seems Danish.
Because "danish" on russian is "датский" (datskij), that similar to "dutch".This is interesting.
I grew up in a family where I spoke both Russian and Ukrainian. That's why I speak good both languages. My family is very international. Grandmother - from Poland, grandfather - from Ukraine, mother - from Russia (but grew up in Kazakhstan)
On the Internet I prefer to communicate in Russian.
It's almost impossible. Most russian coders doesn't like anything than Spectrum. :)
It's a pity, but Russian community isn't united. Some of them likes to criticize and badmouth each other.
I think they dont know EP. EP is like spectrum but with more features. So they can be use it I think.Many people knows about EP from adverts and articles in popular magazine "Техника-Молодёжи (http://enterprise.iko.hu/articles_ru.htm)".

(And rather Norwegian, not Danish.)

Et program som er ofret ekstra stor oppmerksomhet er grafikkadventuret «The Seventh Seal», spesielt laget for Enterprise 128. Dette påstås å være det første adventurespillet laget for en 128 K maskin. Det spesielle ved dette spillet er at man kan velge hvordan man skal gi kommandoer, mulighetene er vanlig tekst, symboler (icons) eller menyer. Man kan når som helst i spillet bytte kommandoform.
A program that has been given extra attention is the "The Seventh Seal" graphic tailor made specifically for Enterprise 128. This is said to be the first adventure game created for a 128K machine. The special thing about this game is that you can choose how to give commands, the possibilities are plain text, icons or menus. You can change command form at any time in the game.

@XYBeR Fantastic! I was very close to writing an old-style letter to his old address - seems family still lives there - and me not being on FB - great work!!
@SlashNet I did not have the full magazines anymore - and I did not have that specific magazine - but great stuff.
Now I just look out for a new Norwegian/Scandinavia member :D Let us hope that Jarle joins.
BTW: How do you tag members in a reply? Tried with @ - which I thought was common :smt087
You have found the right Jarle Midtun :-)Great news! :smt038
In December 1984 it finally arrived.Wow! Then it is will be one of the first machines what are sold!
Great fun!And nice story!
I haven't tested it for years but I hope it still works fine. Maybe some electrolytic capacitors have to be replaced after all this time.Two problems possible.
If I'm lucky I might find a copy of Dovregubben, either as a cassette or a printout of the program-listing somewhere in the house. If you are interested in a copy I will try a search. I could also make a scan of the copy of "The Enterpriser" if you'd like. Let me know.Yes, both are interesting! Also the ET letters. And the ELAN thing :-)
I took a look at your web-site and I am very impressed with what You have done.Which sites sent to he?
By the way, do you know if someone has developed a SD-card reader for the Enterprise and where I can order one ?There is the email address for order. (https://enterpriseforever.com/interface-57/sd-card-interface/msg72969/#msg72969)
I hope that Jarle will connect to this forum ;)I'm also!
Great news! :smt038
Wow! Then it is will be one of the first machines what are sold!
Can he make a photos of machine when he digged out? (Including S/N :-) ) And if he open it for some repair then inside photos also will be interesting.
And nice story!
Two problems possible.
1) as he say the capacitors, especially at the early machines built with Philips capacitors. C9 are the most critical, if it is lost their capacity then kill TR2 transistor and will no +12V for the video circuits (screen will broken and running).
2) keyboard membrane tail can crack at the mother board connector then some keyboard rows or columns will not work. Need to cut few mm at the connection end. Will work until the next crack :-) Possible buy brand new membrane.
Yes, both are interesting! Also the ET letters. And the ELAN thing :-)
Which sites sent to he?
There is the email address for order. (https://enterpriseforever.com/interface-57/sd-card-interface/msg72969/#msg72969)

(kapacitáltam, hogy regisztráljon. mindent, amit tud, el fog küldeni - vagy ide, és akkor látjátok, vagy nekem, de akkor azonnal felrakom ide)
wow!!! new programs???
Nice detective work XYBer! :-) He has not sent me any email about signing up yet.
Great!
We still have some missing EnterFace numbers.
SlashNet and Zozosoft should I continue to remove the irrelevant stuff and do them as PDFs - or JPGs - raw or with stuff removed?
If the material had been better and not full bounded volumes - I would have scanned the whole issue.
I will put the "relevant" stuff in PDFs - and then just also leave the "raw" scans as JPGs in folders - then everyone is happy :D
AXIOM to gra, która jest tworzona przez Polaków już od ponad roku. Pomysł gry został zaczerpnięty z mobilnej gry My Little Town. Autorzy nie poprzestają na skopiowaniu idei, lecz ją rozbudowują o nowe elementy. Oryginalna wersja gry jest przeznaczona dla jednego gracza, lecz ta wersja zawierać będzie tryb dwuosobowy. Do wyboru będzie możliwy tryb rywalizacji oraz kooperacji.
Gra pisana jest w języku C, a jej kod jest tak zaprojektowany, aby był łatwo przenaszalny na wiele platform, nie tylko z Z80. Prototyp oraz pierwsza wersja powstają dla ZX Spectrum. Oprócz standardowej konfiguracji ZX, przewidziane jest wsparcie dla extra sprzętu takiego jak ULA+, Turbo Sound lub też Kempston Mouse. Dalekosiężne plany to wydanie gry dla Sam Coupe, CPC oraz Enterprise, a nawet Amigi 500. W tej chwili gra jest we wczesnej wersji alfa, ale już możemy zobaczyć jak całość będzie się prezentować. Czas pokaże czy uda się ją zrealizować. Nad tytułem pracują trzy osoby: Catman, Darklight i Tygrys.
Termin wydania gry nie jest jeszcze znany, podobnie jak forma dystrybucji – rozważane jest wydanie wersji bezpłatnej jak i pudełkowej.
AXIOM is a game that has been created by Poles for over a year. The idea of the game was taken from the My Little Town mobile game. The authors do not stop at copying the idea, but expand it with new elements. The original version of the game is for one player, but this version will contain a double mode. There will be a possible competition and cooperation mode to choose from. The game is written in C language, and its code is designed to be easily portable to many platforms, not only from Z80. The prototype and the first version are made for the ZX Spectrum. In addition to the standard ZX configuration, there is support for extra equipment such as ULA +, Turbo Sound or Kempston Mouse. Long-term plans are the release of the game for Sam Coupe, CPC and Enterprise, and even the Amiga 500. At the moment the game is in the early version of alpha, but we can already see how the whole will be presented. Time will tell if it will be achieved. Three people work on the title: Catman, Darklight and Tiger. The date of the release of the game is not yet known, as is the form of distribution - it is considered to issue a free version as well as a box version.

Format Vol.10 №10 (June 1997) (http://ftp://bbc.nvg.org/pub/sam-coupe/magazines/Format/Vol%2010/10.pdf) pp.21-22.The EP Forever site cannot link to ftp for some reason.
All these ventures were relatively straightforward compared to the attention to detail required for the most spectacular commercial produced by Aardman in this period – an ad for the innovative Enterprise 64 computer, which had been developed by a British company called Intelligent Software. It boasted a 64-kilobyte memory (a lot in those days!), and the advertising agency wanted to stress its modern, groundbreaking qualities with a commercial that compared it to other computers, which would now seem obsolete.
The Enterprise 64 production was another indication that the workload for Aardman was beyond Peter and David alone. Neither of them would boast that they were born salesmen or businessmen, and around this time they started taking on employees.
Peter and David had also just hired their first animator-employee, a young man named Richard Goleszowski, who had just graduated with a degree in Fine Art from Exeter College of Art and Design. He had specialised in animation, of course. Twenty-three years old, of Polish ancestry, he was smart, creative and intuitive. He had a sardonic sense of humour and talent to burn. In later years, he changed his name to Richard Starzak, though in Aardman circles, where he enjoys almost legendary status, he is universally known as ‘Golly’. He seemed to fit in with the company ethic from the word go.
Golly played a crucial role in the look of the Enterprise 64 commercial. The ad agency had had the idea of representing older computers as skeletons. Golly sketched his version of a modern museum, sleek and abstract with black granite-style plinths, and inspired the idea of placing the old skeletal computers on the plinths in stark contrast to the Enterprise
64.
To the accompaniment of the old spiritual song ‘Dem Bones’, these ancient skeletal computers prance around the modern museum; one of them literally crumbles into dust. The voiceover emphasises the point: ‘Some home computers are already obsolescent – their memory limited, their performance slow.’
And then came the punchline: ‘The Enterprise 64 . . . could be obsolescence, built out.’ It very well could have been, but, in a savage twist of fate, the company behind the Enterprise 64 – which doubled its memory and became the Enterprise 128 – went broke around the time the commercial was first broadcast.
Still, that was no comment on the quality of Aardman’s work, which was widely praised. It had been an incredibly complex commercial to shoot, requiring a twenty-strong crew – including (among others) a director of photography, a camera operator, focus puller, four modeller-puppeteers, a producer, floor manager and two set riggers, not to mention Pete, Dave – and Golly, who animated it. Aardman received ?35,000 for it – an astronomical sum in those days. (Peter and David had submitted a budget of ?15,000 to the agency, only to be gently told by the agency producer that it was not enough to produce the commercial. She revised it for them and more than doubled it.)
To put this amount in context, and to highlight the difference between the worlds of television and advertising, Peter and David had shot an entire series of The Amazing Adventures of Morph – twenty-six episodes totalling 130 minutes of film – for ?60,000. Now they were receiving ?35,000 for a thirty-second commercial. They shook their heads in bewilderment,
but they couldn’t deny they were rather pleased.

Lansay, Enterprise et les autres: un beau produit
Qu'on l'appelle le Lansay, l'Enterprise, ou «celui qui vient d'outre-Manche», cet appareil est un bel exemple d'informatique intégrée avec cet extraordinaire «tour de périphériques» que vient de lancer le constructeur pour l'accompagner. Double unité de disquettes au design chic, extension mémoire de 64 Ko en forme de piste d'atterrissage, sans oublier modem, disque dur et synthétiseur de parole, rien ne manque et en plus l'ensemble est, pour une fois, compact et séduisant. Comme quoi, avec un peu de bonne volonté, on peut éviter l'amoncellement monstrueux de fils et branchements.
Again that rare EP version for left-handed at photo. :)

РАЗРАБОТКИ БЮРО HOLLINGTON ASSOCIATES (ВЕЛИКОБРИТАНИЯ)
Hollington Associates 1982-86//Domus 1987 XI, N 688, P. 71-75.
Это бюро организовано в 1982 году. В него вошли известные лондонские дизайнеры Дж. Холлингон, Дж. Чунг, Дж. Роусон и ряд других специалистов разного профиля, участвующих как в предпроектных исследованиях, так и во всех последующих стадиях проектирования. Почти все наиболее значительные разработки этого бюро к сфере бытовых приборов, техническую основу которых составляют электронные устройства, Главным в творчестве дизайнеров является их стремление не отходить слишком далеко от существующей типологии изделий, выполняющих привычные функции, хотя их инженерная часть стала совершенно иной.
Наиболее показателен с этой точки зрения телефонный аппарат с кнопочным номеронабирателем, спроектированный в 1984 году. Отправной точкой проекта была очень простая идея: не имитируя прежний диск электромеханического номеронабирателя, сохранить его привычную компоновку для клавишного электронного устройства. Номеронабиратели с клавишами, расположенными в три или четыре ряда, распространены уже достаточно широко, однако размещение цифр по кругу, остающееся единственно возможным в течение нескольких десятилетий, по-прежнему более привычно подавляющему большинству потребителей. Кроме того, дисковый номеронабиратель отнюдь не обнаруживает тенденции к исчезновению, а продолжает благополучно сосуществовать и соперничать в популярности с клавишным. Удивительно лишь то, что до дизайнеров Hollington Associates никому не пришла в голову столь, простая идея – расположить клавиши номеронабирателя в привычном и потому наиболее удобном порядке.
Другое изделие бюро – проект бытового компьютера для фирмы Elan Enterprise – стало результатом достаточно сложного поиска основного принципа компоновки функциональной клавиатуры и пластики прибора в целом. Первоначально его предполагалось визуально расчленить на два или три объема. Затем возобладала идея, что вся верхняя панель компьютера должна представлять собой единую плоскость, слегка наклоненную к оператору и имеющую небольшой «излом» по линии сопряжения клавиатуры с блоком памяти. Рычаг перевода курсора выделен концентрическими окружностями резиновой заглушки, показывающими возможность манипулирования рычагом. Отказавшись от сухих прямоугольных форм и несколько смягчив пластику прибора скруглениями и скосами, дизайнеры стремились подчеркнуть бытовой характер ЭВМ, предназначенной для работы в жилой среде.
Среди других изделий бытовой электроники можно назвать компьютеризованную шахматную доску, спроектированную для фирмы CXG (Гонконг), где электронный блок, вынесенный за пределы квадратного игрового поля, подчеркивает техническую новизну данного варианта древней игры.
Бюро охотно обращается и к более простым в техническом отношении изделиям. Термос «Фласк», снабженный ременной петлей, отличается от других моделей удобной крышкой, которая открывается при повороте ее на 90°. Среди изделий детской тематики наиболее интересна разработка крупногабаритного детского конструктора «Джимбо», выполненная по заказу фирм Genesis (Великобритания) и Hasbro (США). Соединительные элементы изготовлены из ацетатной пластмассы, остальные – из полипропилена. Конструктор призван способствовать развитию творческой активности ребенка, который может собрать из предлагаемых элементов самые разнообразные пространственные конструкции, имитирующие мебель, летательный аппарат, автомобиль и другие сооружения.
"The cursor translation lever..." :lol:
Langt ude i fremtiden
Det er jo ikke småting, vi må vente på i denne branche. Firmaet Semicap, der leverer New Brain og Lynx har lovet os Elan Enterprise.
For de, der nu ligner et stort spørgsmålstegn skal vi bringe denne forklaring: Elan Enterprise er en vidundermaskine, som længe har spøgt på det engelske marked - hvorfra den da også stammer. Derovre får den premiere i april, herhjemme kommer den til august om alt går vel.
Elan Enterprise har 61 »rigtige« skrivemaskinetaster + 8 specialtaster, som kan bruges til egen programmering.
Der er 64 eller 128 K RAM hukommelse, hvoraf kun 8 bruges af maskinen selv, resten står til fri afbenyttelse. Basic-sproget er ikke en amputeret udgave, men indeholder næsten alle de muligheder, som findes i sproget.
Der er indbygget tekstbehandlingsprogram. Grafikken giver mulighed for op til 512×672 punkter, 256 forskellige farver, vinduer, differentierede bogstavhøjder og blanding af billeder og tekst.
Lyden går på 4 kanaler og strækker sig over 8 oktaver (som et klaver) og kan endog udføres i stereo. Der kan tilsluttes 2 båndoptagere, så oplysninger kan »mixes« og maskinen kan tilsluttes op til 31 andre ligesindede. Printere af enhver kvalitet kan tilsluttes og diskdrive vil også komme. Programmer loves der store mængder af, både bånd, moduler og disketter.
Brugsanvisningen er på dansk og den er allerede oversat og vil iøvrigt kunne fås til juni. Der er planlagt et blad for brugerne og danske programmer kan forventes.
Prisen bliver omkring 4500 kr (firetusindefemhundrede).
Vi venter spændte.
ENTERPRISE BRUKERKLUBB
ENTERPRISE har allerede rukket å få flere brukerklubber i Norge, takket være stor interesse og god innsats fra aktive Enterprise-brukere.
Klubbene vil ha som målsetning å være et samlingsted for Enterprise-interesserte over hele landet, med utveksling av bruker-erfaring på alle plan.
Roger Skoglund i ET COMPUTERS AS forteller at det nå er stor aktivitet i ENTERPRISE BRUKERKLUBB. Denne klubben støttes økonomisk av den norske importøren, men vil drives mest mulig selvstendig - av Enterprisebrukere.
I løpet av april, kommer første nummer av "THE ENTERPRISER" som er klubbens eget brukerblad.
Dette kommer ut 6 ganger pr år, og vil være et av de tilbud som gis til klubbens medlemmer.
De som er interessert i å bli medlem, vil få tilsendt første nummer gratis, sammen med klubbens medlemsbevis. Regulært medlemskap koster kr. 150,- pr. år.

ENTERPRISE MED NY GENERASJON 128K MASKINER
I det krevende, men interessante markedet for hjemmedatabrukere, med økende behov for større internminne, har Enterprise nå lansert sin nye 128K maskin.
Enterprise 128 har foruten de spesifikasjonene som man kjenner fra Enterprise 64K RAM modellen, hele 128K standard.
ET COMPUTERS A/S mener at Enterprise er en meget prisgunstig personlig datamaskin med 128K RAM. Dette vil utvilsomt bli den nye standarden, og det vil etter dette trolig ikke komme nye 64K RAM computere på markedet.
Den svært raske lanseringen av Enterprise 128, sammen med de nye prisene, gir Enterprise et avgjørende forsprang på sine konkurrenter.
Enterprise med 128K RAM vil koste kr. 4780,-. Dette er samme pris som 64K modellen hadde tidligere. Samtidig blir prisen på Enterprise 64 redusert til kr. 3990,-, slik at dette blir den rimeligste 4.generasjons maskinen på markedet i dag, kan ET COMPUTERS A/S fortelle.
Den neste lanseringen av nye produkter fra Enterprise, blir den avanserte diskcontrolleren, med muligheter for å kjøre med både 3.5" og 5 1/4" diskettstasjoner under operativsystemet CP/M. Dette gir Enterprise-brukere tilgang til et stort utvalg av rimelige CP/M-programmer. Diskcontrolleren forventes å koste Kr. 1895,-.

Jeg vil her omtale ny hardware veldig kort siden det meste vil få en omfattende test i "C".
ENTERPRISE
har nå kommet med produktet EXDOS på markedet. Det blir påstått at den gjør Enterprise 128 kompatibel med IBM og Apricot, men hvordan dette går med Z80 som CPU må gudene vite. Teoretisk er det mulig, men hastigheten vil vel bli så sen at det ikke vil bli brukbart. EXDOS vil koste ca 100 pund, og jeg stiller meg sterkt tvilende til den informasjon som ble gitt, og jeg velger å tro at kompatibiliteten begrenser seg til at den kan lese datafiler fra MS-dos format. Det vil også komme en tale-syntersizer, monitor, mus og printer fra Enterprise.

BTW, which way some pictures and music comes to EP from Atari?At this time I don't have 3.5" floppy drive, then used RS-232 connection. On both computer running small BASIC program, the ST one read colors of each pixel and send it on RS-232, the Enterprise program receive it, and make a SET INK and PLOT on graphics page. At the end it is saved with VSAVE.

But now the files come on 3.5" disks to Enterprise :-)
Speakeasy came from Commodore 64?Wow, nice find! I already found texts about C64 Speakeasy, but without photo. I think just same name... But now there is a evidence!

This is from which magazine?Patience. That's was just teaser. ;)
Is the fight reached your home also ? :(
Please excuse me in advance. I didn't mean to post messages related to politics at our forum.I think all of us will understand if you slip up sometimes and post thing political in nature. After all, your homeland is in dire straits. Stay safe as best as you can. We wish all the best to Ukraine.
Please excuse me in advance. I didn't mean to post messages related to politics at our forum.You did not do it, I asked and you answered, and it did not contain any politics related, just what happened.
Interesting, and it contained some commands which finally were not included, or i do not know :D : Oval, Boom, and probably more, i remember these 2 :D
POP, SPLAT, ZAP.Sam Coupé uses sound commands like PING: ZAP, POW, ZOOM, BOOM. Maybe the editor was confused about which computer does what. (ZAP seems very popular.)
My collection of early or never released covers:Nice collection!
Nice collection!
Do you have also Google drive folder with all of interesting finds what you found? For more easy download all :oops:
Computer Mánia 1991/3-4 (HUN)Zemen Lacinak megvan még az a 2000 programja? A régi programok közül emlékeim szerint 1000 alatti mennyiséget tudtunk összeszedni, ennyi volt az ep128.hu-n. Azóta készültek átiratok, stb., de a régi programok közül nem került elő 1000+ mennyiség.
SlashNet!
Where you found these music demos? I never seen these!

On the other side, the files seem to come from an old Enterprise Depository (http://web.archive.org/web/19980502103036/http://www.camme.ac.be/~cammejpm/enterprise.html) web page
I have extracted it and compared with the 2.1 version.You view the original 2.1, or my bugfixed 2.1?
The first of your changes is just the message length, 0043 instead of 003c.This is why I think that 2.1 are my bugfixed 2.1. When I fixed EXT instruction, needed some space, I remember shortened some text for make few free bytes.
I don't understand, I have taken 2.1 from the emulator.Emulator using my bugfixed BASIC ROMs, not the original. I think if you compare the original 2.1 (uploaded previously) with that 2.2 then not find the mentioned differences. Probably just the version number will be different.
So what is 2.2 and who did it?I think just a loadable version of 2.1
Next advert is already with Elan naming:I just found this. There already was an 'ELAN 64' in 1959 :smt031:

When I'm 64 I'll change my name to ELAN and when I'm 128 I'll change it to ENTERPRISE.
Is your name Oscar or Samurai now? :)
There is also a Welsh river and valley named Elan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elan_Valley).
Ok, but.... what really is the word "Elan"?
I have found that it could also come from the French word "Élan"(impulse) or from the expression "Élan vital" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89lan_vital) a term introduced by the French philosopher Henri Bergson.
So it can be translated to English as "creative impulse", that could perfectly describe the machine they where designing.
But, why a French name for a so British computer? The plan was to sell the computer on all Europe, so it could be the reason.
Ok, sorry, I have been even more nerd....:ds_icon_cheesygrin: I guess we just have to accept that we ARE nerds. :smt032
Loads only from tape (because it looks for unnamed/any file)Probably this is the reason why it is an unknown game.
This is a Sokoban clone.
Slashnet, where did you find this game?
I am slowly sorting out archives downloaded from various sites on the Internet. Now I can't even tell where I found it.I think from Zemen's disks (https://enterpriseforever.com/downloads/?dir=EP_programok_omlesztve).
and i do not know Super Chopper, and Antics.
And question: is it possible dump ROM cartridges using cassette interface?Possible write small program which save cartridge to binary file.
judging by the cover on the cassette: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/537/ZX-Spectrum/AnticsNice, as i see all tapes have it's own cartridge :D :D
Another interesting nuance is that games are not loaded without custom cartridges (such a copy protection).
just they were performed in Ukraine."TM" is russian magazine.
What the sound like of the programs? Like EP, or Speccy?I don't know yet.
Possible write small program which save cartridge to binary file.
On cassette cover note to load game from WP.Sure, but that doesn't answer my question. Anyway, taking a closer look at the screenshots made me realize that most probably there are no internal modifications. Those PALEX+ cartridges must contain something that is needed to load and/or run these games but nothing beyond that.

Scooby Doo game by Palex is smaller than EP release.

"TM" is russian magazine.Sorry, i did not know.
Cool! :cool: This version has better colour palette than the existing version (but no cheats :) ).Yes, the existing version is a Jano conversion, which are regularly not too good conversions.
but no cheats :)Later I will made a new loader, with EXOS compatible memory handling, and cheat options.
The Great EscapeFortunately only the ZX charset and loading screen pixel data broken, then easy work repair it.
Unfortunatly, loader of this game causes CRC-error at loading (in first chunk).
Fortunately only the ZX charset and loading screen pixel data broken, then easy work repair it.Cool, i will check all programs today.
Super Chopper now freezes after firing at rocket.Found one P2 paging in PRG file, fixed.
or more people to accelerate the developement process.Yes you are right on the s/w - these are the people we wanted, and they were hard to find!
I can imagine that time not all the people has the passion to make some new tech stuff, with overtime in the Job, with exeption how Bruce Tanner done his job on the software side. Some employee think, if it is 16:30 i go home to my family, even if the job not done.
Only smaller startup teams doing job in that passionate way, where they practically living inside the company.
The company of course welcome these types, but it is hard to find.
La compañía francesa Eureka lnformatique, que nada tiene que ver con el proyecto europeo de renovación tecnológica auspiciado por el Gobierno francés, acaba de adquirir la marca de origen británico Oric.
Eureka Informatique se dedica a la fabricación de monitores y es dístribuidor independiente de otros periféricos y accesorios para ordenadores domésticos, al tiempo que distribuye los productos de la marca Sinclair Research, Amstrad y Entreprise.
Todo parece indicar que los modelos de Oric se fabricarán en la planta que la compañía gala tiene en Normandía.
Fuentes de la firma francesa se negaron a revelar la cuantía de la operación de compra, aunque sí se comunicó el alcance del contrato, que se limita a la adquisición por parte de Eureka de los stocks, piezas de recambio y derechos de fabricación y distribución.
Los edificios e instalaciones que Oric posee en Inglaterra no forman parte del «paquete», que puede ser vendido al mejor postor.
