His bio is still on http://www.danielsen.com/resume.shtml, it also has some information on the Enterprise computers. Jan Louwman wrote a little about these when they came on the market in the early eighties in Dutch "Computerschaak". It is amazing that a 4K ROM could hold both a strong program AND no less than 300 opening moves! I have the comparable but less stylish Enterprise Multitech CC009 still in the original box. Not for sale, no way! I played blitz matches against it but lost most everything. Eelco
