Some of the bits pieces will be useful for projects Tomo. Nice meeting you. Just been playing with the beasty. Is the moniter CGA or EGA? Wasn't expecting a colour screen at all.

Determined it's an EGA screen by running Rescue Rover. Who'd thought a game would be so useful?

Well the dial at the front is fun as you have 3 styles for colour.

Good to see you have it running, you'll have fun with the 200 plus 5 1/4 disks HA HA

LOL, yeah in text mode I have white, red and green to choose from. Retro kawl!! Must have been pretty high end at the time. The manual just mentions CGA.

Party like it's 1986 baby!!!

Did you use Enable 2.0 in anger Tomo or was that just handed in as recycling?

It was given to me, they didn't want it but didn't want it broken for re-cycling, so it sat out the back (until I found this site).

Had fun reading the manuals (nice to get them in).

Tomo you don't by any chance still have the riser suppport(the piece that goes from front to back and the fdd cage for the PS/1 at all. If you come across another I'd be interested in it.

I just tested the mobo it an it's running fine. I've got a spare 486DX2/50 I can slap in the thing.

Tezza if you want to make images of the Enable 2.0 disks, asuming they're ok, you're quite welcome.
