Enigma machine strenght using a computer

Hello,

I was wondering what kind of encryption strenght we were looking at for
an enigma machine with say 512 rotors, each rotor having 256 (0 to 255)
states to rotate into.

I know it depends on how the rotors move but what bounds are we looking
at? At least what and at most what?

The machine taking any character in extended ASCII (between 0 and 255)
and stays within 0 and 255.

Regards
Jean-Francois Michaud
