If you have some time, can you scan it? :oops:
I will make page with floppy drive manuals.

For the BASF 6164 you see manual everywhere? This drive used in the official Enterprise disk unit.
I looked with google, but not found :-( But I searched in English :oops:

OK, i'll scan it, but first i'll check if i can find this manual in the net (cause it's "some" more pages ;) )
I'll also try to find some manuals for the 6164 :)

Tom!
Can you translate which items on this list?
I think the first is a upgrade EP64 to 128K, second is upgrade to 576K.
The third is ROM upgrade to 2.1 for EP64?

Jepp, that's right. The first is an upgrade for the Enterprise 64 to 128kb, the second one is an upgrade for the Enterprise 64 or 128 to 576kb. (I also have such an upgrade-board, i must check how to build it into the Enterprise 128 ;))
The third is that ROM upgrade to 2.1 for the EP64. For this you had to send in the computer and the BASIC-cart to the Enterprise service center where EXOS and BASIC were upgraded to 2.1.

Interesting is the fifth option. This is an upgrade of the BASIC-cart to a switchable cart where you can choose between a german and an english BASIC. I got such a cart together with my computer.

OK, here are some photos of the RAM expansion and the switchable BASIC-cart.
For the expansion: Is it only necessary to replace the old 64kb-expansion of the EP128 with the 512kb cart ? And do i need the cable that goes from the original 64kb-cart to another ic ( i think, MMU, right ?)

Thanks for the photos! Can you take one more: inside of the cartridge?

I have a "Enterprise 576K"with same board, this was probably expanded at the Enterprise Gmbh:

And on another machine use same as additional extension (placed outside), this was expanded by myself :-) I did not use additional 7805.

And this is the prototype of this expansion board. I bought from the developer (Finn S. Nielsen) about one year ago.

Wow, very nice :)
Well, it seems that the RAM-expansion is not only a cart replacement. There are also some cables and the 7805 (ok, which is not alwasy needed ;) ). Do you know if there is any manual available where to connect the cables ? So then i'll try to upgrade one of my Enterprises :)

For the BASIC-cart: I'll take a photo of the inside of the cart when i'm back home (so in the evening).

At this page you can find the pinout of the internal expansion connector.
On the small connector already the GND and +5V.
My 576K machine only uses 2x3 wires of this connector which are only the address lines. Then needed the additional GND and +5V wires.
Your board has a full 2x5 pin connector which are use the GND and +5V from the motherboard connector, as the original 64K board (and my "external" 512K).

You can see additonal wire at the end of 64K board, it connects the GND points of the board and the motherboard, for noise reduction.

Ah, this means that i only need to replace the cart, maybe solder the wires from the small connector (if there are no pins at the motherboard) and wire the GND from the cart to the MB ? That would be great :)

At default no pins at the motherboard. Remove the 64K board, clean the holes and put pin headers to both connectors.
