Further to my last post about my early Enterprise 64 (Serial Number: 000043) I've now dug out some early documentation and correspondence with Enterprise Computers.
I have 2 uncovered, small booklets labeled "Reference Section" with almost the same information in each one. I covered one of them in green sticky-backed plastic film to 'protect' it from wear and tear. Mistake!
Anyway, one booklet starts at Page 1 and ends at Page 55. The other booklet starts at Page 148 and goes to Page 221. Apart from slightly different wording between the 2 booklets, the 2nd one (with the higher page numbers) has an additional Glossary Section at the end after the Error Messages.
Then I have a few (about 25) "Application Notes" detailing technical information which seems not to have been included in the 'manual' as it was supplied to me.
Then I have a series of letters between me & Enterprise Computers (I have redacted my name & address!) about my reporting of some bugs and about the supply of the computer etc. There is also a 'Launch Plan' where Enterprise Computers say what support they will give dealers and how many they expect to sell.
Then I have 7 "Concession Notes" which are defects (or patches or workarounds) with the machine as it was supplied to me.
Also, there's a letter to me (in Oct 1984) telling me that they'd supply trial machines at £150. As it turned out, they supplied them for free.
Then both sides of a 3-fold booklet (which I expect everyone has seen) and finally the "Enterprise Technical Information".
This is a typewritten A4 looseleaf set of pages written in September 1984 which, I imagine, will have formed the basis of the supplied manual. (I never got a 'proper' set of manuals or user guides or whatever.)
I've just taken a few photos of the pages and stuck them up here:
Photos of early Enterprise manuals etcThere's about 25MB of photos and they'll stay there as long as my computer is on.
