Russian can be slightly comprehended for me if translated to Latin characters, but Magyar is on another league...

Well, figured out ...
EP was ordered by advert in magazine "Техника-молодёжи", not "Юный техник" (many years had passed - memory is not perfect). It cost $130 (with payment in rubles at the exchange rate)

Thanks for dig out!

Very strange to see the Enterprise with cyrillic letters at the second column :-)

I looked the historical exchange rates on Hungarian National Bank page, the $130 about 12000 HUF at 1993.07.01. It is about 87 GBP.

Amazing find! We know from a interview with director of the Hungarian Enterprise company: about 3000 machines sold to Soviet schools.
Can you ask in the russian forum: is anybody see these school Enterprises? Ok, I know the Soviet Union was a very-very big country, hard to find these schools.

Amazing find! Thanks!
He is have a EP64 or Ep128?
Just because the manual say "1984 Intelligent Software Ltd" at startup screen which is valid for EP64, EP128 say 1985.
But also possible the translator use text from the first release of english manual and just copied the text.

Can he remember, the Demo cassette are original English, or localized to Russian?
The machine have a Russian rom like the German machines?
