A #BASIC programming example from the German #Enterprise128 manual (p. 60):

IS BASIC from the #Enterprise128 is the foremost advanced #BASIC dialects for #8Bit #HomeComputers. But it is very(!) slow. The "Creative Computing Benchmark" took nearly 5 minutes to run (comparable to the #SinclairZXSpectrum and the #TRS80 Model 100) but produced excellent results: "accuracy" is quite good (comparable with #BBCMicro) and "random" is the best of all computers measured in the contest from 1984:

Back to fun platforms to port my #Vezza #Infocom #Zmachine interpreter - this time it's the Enterprise 128. A 4MHz #z80 machine from the mid 80s, it has a great emulator, and a bespoke DOS known as IS-DOS, with a lot of compatibility with both CP/M 2.2 and #MSXDOS. While it needed quite some tweaking, a lot of the heavy lifting was done with my original #MSX version before it was optimised. As I understand, the #Enterprise128 didn't have a great library of games for it, so hoping this helps! Get it while it's hot at https://gitlab.com/sijnstra1/vezza Screenshots are the IS-DOS 1.0 version running Border Zone, and the IS-DOS 1.1a version running Beyond #Zork.

A beautiful day. Got #Symbos running on the #Enterprise128. The trip was definitely worth it today.

Firing up #PolyPascal on my 40 year old #Enterprise64 for the first time in probably 35 years. Actually, I'm not sure if I ever go PolyPascal running on it, or it was just the previous version, Compas Pascal. Glad to see an old #Danish friend from the #CPM era again though. It's been too long.

As previously mentioned, I managed to get my hands on another #Enterprise64 from the mid 80s. I disassembled it yesterday and made sure it was in working order. Nothing noteworthy, apart from cleaning it up and snipping a couple of mm's of the super thin wire tape for the keyboard, which is notorious for breaking. Also, a 1MB memory expansion was added, which is is insane for a system that was born with 64K. It's now technically an #Enterprise1088 :-)

Developed in the UK, it comes with IS-BASIC, a word processor, has 256 colors, stereo sound, runs CP/M and reads FAT floppy disks. Pretty cool for a 40 year old system, eh?

This is my third Enterprise machine. Currently two are working - my original (S/N 000828) which was gifted to me back when my dad started importing them, and this latest one (S/N 030490). The third one is unfortunately dead at the moment.

A small #Forth demo drawing Sierpinski triangles on an #Enterprise128. Not so slow! An absolute underrated machine out of the late 80's.
