TPR Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 So I just managed to buy an ADAM disk drive off eBay today! I have never owned one of these before, hence I have no software or anything to run from it. I'm hoping someone from the community could help me out with this. If anyone has some time to help me with some software, I'd be more than happy to send some floppy disks your way along with some money for you time, so I have some stuff to test and run on it. Please PM me. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Make sure to get File Manager v3.1 (with the docs in a SmartWRITER word processor file) as this is the best utility program released for the ADAM and also get CopyCart+ v2.0 for dumping 32K or smaller cartridges to a rom file which can then be played on the ADAM. Aside from contacting jblenkle about this, make sure to checkout his website and download the large archive of ADAM disk and data pack image files that can be used in the Virtual ADAM / ADAMem emulator. Using this emulator is a great way to become familiar with the ADAM and to test out software without putting all the wear and tear on your actual ADAM setup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPR Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 So the drive came in, and from what I can tell it works, but I have nothing to test it with! If anyone has software on ADAM floppy disks that they would be willing to copy for me, I'd be more than happy to send some floppys your way and pay you for your time to help me out. Please PM me! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
