ed1475 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) This is some of the items in my Coleco ADAM collection.All 36 unique DDP's (tapes) released by Coleco (35 unique inserts; there were 2 versions of the blank DDP - one with a clear label and one with a gray label -they both had the same insert). I recently got an original SimpleCALC DDP to complete this collection. The 3 Coleco arcade boxes. I got the Donkey Kong box earlier this year to complete this collection. The second digital data drive, 5 1/4" disk drive, and 64K RAM expander boxes are opened. The rest are still sealed.

VectorGamer Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Does the modem come with software? The picture isn't clear where I'm trying to read the sticker - looks like it says "Free Compuserve" but I can't really make it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manoau2002 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Nice collection. I have several of the digital data packs. They are interesting thing to collect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, It includes AdamLINK software on tape and a coupon for 2 free hours of Compuserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aware me on the AdamLINK software - does it have a terminal emulator? What's included with AdamLINK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it has any terminal emulation. It's just bare bone software for connecting an ADAM to on-line services and BBS's with a 300 baud connection.

video game addict Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Those arcade game boxes are really cool! I found an Adam once. It was super minty in the box, Huge box! Sold it though as there just wasn't enough appeal and I had a CV at the time. There's a site somewhere where they have the printouts to create your own mini arcade cabinets out of card stock, almost the same size as yours above. We made a Wreck-it-Ralph one awhile back turned out pretty good. It's a shame there wasn't more creative box designs back in the day.. Infocom offered some neat stuff on occasion. But these are pretty neat! So are they pricey? Pretty rare I would imagine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You very rarely see them and if you do you better do whatever it takes to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Ed, glad to see you finally tracked down a SimpleCALC DDP. I'm still very pissed off the Post Office lost the one I sent you and stupid me didn't insure it... never send without enough insurance anymore. HOW MUCH YOU WANT FOR THE MONITOR CABLE CIB? That Memory Expander generic box CIB was a tough one to find and I'm still on the prowl for the commercial box version. No terminal emulation in AdamLink I, II or III. I'm pretty sure AdamLink V (major hack of AdamLink done over many years by Tom Clary and then Dr. D) or there was always the Cp/M and T-Dos options.

After that SimpleCALC was lost in the mail, I didn't think I'd get a chance to get another one. So I was surprised last month when one went up for sale (and I was able to get it at a resonable price). Sorry, the monitor cable is not for sale.

spencerhm Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I believe by default a first class shipment is insured automatically for $50 unless you stipulate more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencerhm Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hello all. I'm looking to add Family Fued (DDP) to my collection. My copy was working but quit, so I couldn't even put it to floppy for a working copy. Does anyone think they could part with one? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Man there's a bunch of stuff I'm missing, but it's all productivity and accessories so it's really hard to spend money on them when they come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Not to hijack Ed's thread, but following are a some pics of my ADAM collection and my ADAM Collector's List for those interested inseeing what it will take to make a run at a complete collection. What's missing from the pics/my collection: - Combo CV & Exp. Mod. #3 ADAM System package - Monitor Cable CIB - 64K Memory Expander CIB (retail packaging) - Classic Cover 5 1/4" Disk Drive Dust Cover and box(es) for other dust covers - a number of books - a couple disk based U.S. variations - a couple Canadian variations (software, accessories and ADAM systems) - European ADAM systems distributed by CBS Electronics This is only taking into account legacy products and nothing made and developed by 3rd Parties/Homebrewers from 1984 until now, of which there are hundreds of products.

NIAD Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I've never seen that Address Book Filer box before. That's a very tough one to find and even harder to find in good condition with the box inserts that hold everything in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
