Just managed to buy an enterprise after 30 years of wanting one!

Congratulation! Do you win yesterday on the Ebay the machnines without accessories?

30 years ago where you see the Enterprise? For example PCW show or magazines?

Didnt come woth power supply whatbare the specs /what do i need?

Photos of original Enterprise PSUs.
The most important thing: the outer pole are the positive!

The ZX Spectrum (16/48/+/128/+2) PSUs are compatible but the +2A/+2B/+3 no!
128 or +2 type recommended because higher capacity.

Whats next, i need to find some software etc to test /use, iss their a wiki/ starting point?

The best starting point this forum! If you have any questions just ask it!

On my page you can download scanned English manuals.
From the ep128.hu you can download all Enterprise softwares.

You can send programs with audio cable from your PC to Enterprise.
With MrPrise TAPir program you can convert programs to WAV, and possible burn these to CD and use diskman as "tape player". Or convert WAVs to MP3 (using very high bitrate!) and MP3 Player also can be used, someone used mobile phone MP3 Player software.

What do you recommend i buy next?

For the first step after the PSU I recommend a SCART cable for the best picture quality.
Sometimes will be on the Ebay, but if you have some electronics experience the easy to build your own.

cheers

yes won both the 64 & 128 yesterday on ebay!

I have spectrum psus so that's all good.

from what I can gather rgb wise I need a 2.54mm pitch edge connector cut to size? (14 pin)

Great start! The machines have a Basic cartridge?  (On the photos I not see them).
If no then you need it. But you can run machnie code programs without cartridge!

Yes, you can found on Ebay the remains will be good for other cables (joystick, printer).

You will not be disappointed!  Fantastic machine

I asked the seller: serial number of 128K machine is 00630, it is a very early machine!
The EP64 is 032285.

Zozo what is the relevance if low serial etc?

Are these two good machines i have bought? Do you think?

Do you need me to open and check mboards etc for you?

On the photos looking good, and important: both have the joystick cap for the internal joystick! This little piace are the first missing part of many machine, near to impossible find spare. (My hope the 3D printing will be common then possible produce spare parts).

Do you need me to open and check mboards etc for you?

Not needed especially if the Serial/Warranty label still intact. I wrote instructions how can detect motherboard version on unopened machine.
Please make photos of serial labels and send to me for the inventory, with details. (Machine with intact label more evidence because can be sure the motherboard not changed.)
I looking for special questions for example exist a EP64 with ISSUE6 board or EP128 with ISSUE5?
From the current data I think the EP128 started with ISSUE6 but some bad ISSUE4 remainded from the early EP64 production, these after repaired put back to the production.
The interesting on the ISSUE4 boards the company name FLAN instead the Enterprise! One name earlyer, and this name only valid for about 1 month (1984 February-March).

I will wait to see what arrives with these enterprises first?

Ok, firstly see what you get.
