  1. Good luck with the CP/M 3 bring up. What is more interesting to me in the pic provided is your personal version of GearADAM. Nice!!!
  2. CVBasic is just a compiler that will compile a Basic language file (*.bas) that was created with an Editor such as Notepad into an Assembly listing (*.asm) which can then be assembled into ColecoVision cartridge format using tniASM that can then be used in emulators or a real CV / ADAM.
  3. I don’t think the executable that is available on the GearColeco site has been updated to include the latest additions which include SGM support… the source files have. Check out this thread that includes a more recent executable build that was cobbled together by Crazy Cozmos:
  4. I think you are correct and the ADAM Final Test is another good one to use that provides a little more detail than ADAM Diagnostic. if you can’t figure out how to get ADAM Diagnostic working on a MegaCart PCB, you could use a standard Homebrew 32K Cart PCB or use the version of it that is available on disk image that is in The ADAM Archive if you can transfer it back to an ADAM disk or have an SD Drive solution. Check out the disk images named ADAM Utilities.
  5. No idea but you might want to try Gamma Debug as it provides much more detail on individual chips rather than the simple PASS/FAIL messages provided by ADAM Diagnostic which aren’t much help in figuring out what any system issue might be. IIRC the Gamma Debug rom image is only 8K.
  6. With the original rom image that you posted… I experienced the garbled screen bug almost immediately when using CoolCV. However, after a long play using GearColeco (the latest build posted in another thread by Captain Cosmos), it played perfectly. Didn’t test on a real CV or ADAM.
  7. I watched A LOT of porn.
  8. The information to access and use the ADAM Soeech Synthesizer is available on Eric Pearson’s GitHub page. 8-Bit Milli wrote a demo rom image to test it the day that he received his and shortly after released another demo rom image that recites London Bridge. Since then, all his cartridge/rom images support the speech synthesizer.
  9. April 1994 was indeed the last newsletter. The owner of NIAD (as well as the computer store that was closed over a year earlier) did mail out a letter to the remaining members, but I do not have that.
  10. Follow this link... (AdamArchive.Org) - The home for everything ADAM
  11. Beyond my skills and knowledge so hopefully someone like TekMan or ChildofCV will see this thread and can provide help.
  12. Sorry, I thought that one tested system RAM also but it is for testing Expansion RAM that is provided by a Memory Expander installed in internal Expansion Slot #3. Other rom utilities you can try are ADAM Diagnostic, ADAM Final Test - Menu Version and Gamma Debug to see if any system RAM errors are found. In Gamma Debug, the chip labels listed correspond to the positions on the ADAM Logic Board but there aren't any detailed instructions for it.
  13. The AtariMax 128-in-1 test utility is only checking the ColecoVision PCB in your ADAM. Download the numerous Coleco test utility cartridges that are available on The ADAM Archive in the ADAM\Cartridges directory (not the ColecoVision directory) and place them on your AtariMax cart using it’s software program. Then run each one to see what is reported… they work with the AtariMax Ultimate SD Cart so they should work with the 128-in-1. BTW, the best and newest is the RAM Test utility that was released by Eric Pearson a couple months ago. You are correct that no other updates are available for the 128-in-1. Try plugging in the FujiNet to the front ADAMnet port where you normally plug in the Keyboard and plus the Keyboard into the side ADAMnet Port to see what happens. remove any expansion interface cards that you may have plugged in to the internal slots and external expansion interface. Are you using the same ADAMnet Cable to connect the FujiNet to both of your ADAM systems? If not, make sure to use the cable that works on your other system to see what happens. Are you using the same power supply for both systems?
  14. Glad to hear. However, I hope I don’t see a message from you stating that after playing GnG… it’s really not the type of game that you like so you are looking to sell or trade it!!!!! 🫣
  15. Showing my appreciation for everything you guys do and the BUT is a long and winding road to the finale that someone like san-d-2000 should be supplied with the rom image so that he can finally play the game. He has been involved in this community for a long time and went thru the expense of sending the GnG cart back as well as the expense of joining the club.
