For a computer of 1985 the Enterprise is very progressive. It e.g. offers a dissolution of diagram of 640 x to 256 points with 8-bit depth of shade (256 colors), which lets in the same year the 16-Bitter Amiga appeared look old even 1000 (creates maximally 16 colors without HAM or EHB when this dissolution). As is the case for the Amiga the vertical dissolution also leaves itself in the Interlace mode to 512 points to increase, that is however to everything else as eye friendly and a little in the long term recommendable.
The storage capacity of the Enterprise 64 is rather average for a computer of its time - 64 KByte offer the others also. This computer has however 22 address lines; thus it is in a the position to address up to 4 MByte memory! This makes a special store management logic possible, because the used Z80A-CPU has even only 16 address lines. Under basic the 4 MByte can be not completely used, it can however up to 128 of different programs placings or buffer memories for peripheral devices be put on there.
A further highlight of the Enterprise is the inserted network ability: in series 32 computers in local AREA a network (LAN) can co-operate. The operating system performs the clerical work for it in the background; it plays thus no role, which lets program of the users on its computer straight run. The network routines stress by the way straight once 8 KByte!
With offered 3.5 " - floppy disk drive are to the user also CP/M programs at the disposal, which can be started under EXDOS (Z80A is thanks). For those, which would like to rather even program, an extensive basic is available, which permits among other things programming also structured. This basic is not integrated however into the computer, it is attached as plug-in module.
Despite all its advantages the Enterprise became a flop. This may have been because of the high price, but above all also at missing marketing. At least in Germany the Enterprise hardly was well-known and in the technical literature usually also only briefly as Exot was introduced.
GRAPHIC MODES Eight graphic modes, max : 672 x 512 (2 col), most used : 256 x 160 (16 col)which sounds much more likely!
