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 #Dnaisg friend from the #CPM era again though. It's been too long.

And I only just found this. I didn’t realise the Flan name actually made it into production.

This means it’s a revision 4 board, from the first production run. The run with bugs in the video chip and ROM.

The Enterprise keyboard layout is coming along nicely. The photos show a printout of the design under the matrix.

I had to redo the horizontal positioning when I realised they used the same size matrix for both dimensions and the keys are 19mm x 19mm. The error was only 1mm across the width of the board but that’s plenty enough to cause problems.

The function keys and joystick are the only things which aren’t on the matrix.

I want to see if I can make my keyboard a bit less ‘squidgy’. I’ve bought a selection of the thinnest tactile switches I can find to experiment with. The switches here run from 0.8mm to 2.5mm.
