absolutely delighted just finished cleaning both up(both quite bad but 128 was covered in "brown" stuff sticky almost)

both now look almost factory new, and both 100% working (as far as i can test)

:lol::ds_icon_cheesygrin:
might post a few pics later because they both look beautiful just how i remember seeing them in magazines and
at computer show 30 years ago!!!

whoop!

Received the following in the mail today from the ebay seller (they found some bits to go with the machines)

Any idea if that is 2x basic carts? Why does one have no label? Is it a dev/early cart?

And importantly 1x copy of wizards lair which was written on these very 2 machines i now own!

I also bought from seller 1 of the development Tatung Einstein machines which they used to code games with. im hoping to find some source code on the disks for maybe wizards lair but also starquake!!!

Wow! It is near all missing accessories of your machines! (PSUs, cables still wanted)
The labeled cartridge is for EP64, other for EP128. Probably no label because cost reduction?
