Enterprize 128

From Maxim Korotkov To All 26 September 1997


Hello All!

Can anyone tell me anything about the subject? This is the one that was advertised for a long time in the magazine “Technology for Youth.”
Perhaps there is an emulsion of it in nature? and at one time it was a pity to pay $130 for this
it was a pity, but I wanted to see what he looked like.

In which issue? I'll look in the library.

8) You weren’t mistaken?

MK>.

So I threw it into the echo a week ago, and completely free of charge :)

PS: I won’t re-throw it.

I saw the subzh, I even used it a little: one of my friends fell for the advertisement.
In general, a Spectrum with color graphics (well, like ATM, Scorpio) + cartridges +
Loading from a cassette + Specky emulator + a couple converted games with ZX.
I think his CPU was Z80.
In the office where he was sold (the newspaper editorial office, or what?) there was practically
nothing, so he died.
Spectrum is much cooler!!!!
