Hello,
I am happy to discover an english forum about one of my favourite computer as it's very difficult to get information in France.
I am looking for everything related to Enterprise and Videoton computer : hardware, software... I can trade with some french computers for exemple (but not only), or buy.
Bye !

Hello!
Welcome here! Nice to see french Enterprise fan!
Can you tell more about the Enterprise story in France?
We only found this article (http://www.ep128.hu/Album/Pic/Lansay64.jpg).
Why called as Lansay? How many machines sold in France? Which versions?
It is have localized keyboard, like as the german version? And french books, softwares?
And etc, etc, etc :-)

Hello,
In fact, I know quite nothing on Enterprise in France. I know that Lansay (the name of the company who imported it) was near my high school but the computer was so expensive for me (300 pounds)...
Do you know Lansay ? They still sell in France a lot of toys here and some videogames (the TVGames froms Jakks).
This article (from "Tilt") is not a good one (they didn't tell hires was only possible on a 128K model for exemple), I prefered the one published in "Hebdogiciel" (they told the Basic was very slow).
From what I remember, only the 64 model was sold in France under the name of Lansay 64, very few units were sold, I have never seen softwares and books in shops, I have never seen an AZERTY (french) keyboard. Here the most popular computers were Oric, Thomson, CPC, ZX...
Of course I contacted Lansay (they moved), but they didn't keep anything about this computer and nobody remember of it. One day, while I was in University (1989 ?), I saw a man selling few Lansay 64 on a market under the rain. In this time, I wanted an Amiga, I was stupid to not buy this cheap Lansay 64.
Bye !

These are re-labelled as Lansay? Or only shown as standard english EP64?
I found one french man (http://dasilva.charles.free.fr/8bits/e64.htm), who have Enterprise 64. On the photos I see standard english machine.
(Can you write to he and recommending our forum?)

Now you have any Enterprise? If yes, please write to the "Your Enterprise configuration?" topic.

Sorry I don't have this Hebdogiciel, it's rather difficult to find it now (I read it long long time ago and I didn't copy it). If I find it again, it'll tell you.

Relabelled box only I think but even that I am not sure.

If I well remember he sold his on ebay, I wanted to buy it few monthes ago...
Unfortunatly from what I know people who have an EP64/128 in France don't do anything with it, they are just collecting computers, sleeping in a cellar. The most active communities here are working on Thomson TO/MO, Oric, Amstrad, Atari ST/Amiga.
Now you have any Enterprise? If yes, please write to the "Your Enterprise configuration?" topic.
I planed to do it later as I am not near my EP128 now.
Bye !

I told them earlier to summarize the topics and posts here in English, but it seems nobody does this regularly...
-
What a pity ! I am sure you trade some interesting information, and if I get more information I'll maybe awake other french EP owners...

I am still looking for EP or Videoton stuffs ! I missed tonight the 2 x joystick DB adaptor on Vatera (I don't speak hungarian ;)
I can trade also with some french computers too as Thomson TO7/TO8/MO5, Oric 1/Atmos, Philips/Radiola VG5000, Matra Alice (= Tandy MC10 clone)...
