Now that I have a working disk manager, I want to start doing some Coleco ADAM Z80 Assembler for EOS. I've found an online IDE that looks perfect. Does anyone have an INC file that defines all of the entry points to the EOS public functions? Remember, sharing is caring. And BTW, this would be put on the ADAM Wiki for posterities' sake.

Unfortunately, Microsoft ended support for .Net on XP at 4.0. ADAMDsk is written for .Net 4.5.1 and takes advantage of lots of new features in C# that are unavailable on XP. Given the fact that it's impossible to get security updates for XP, I would strongly recommend that you move to Windows 7 or 8.1.

I am proud to announce the full availability of the new Disk Image Manager for the Coleco ADAM: ADAMDsk. The project is fully open-source and both source code and Windows executable are available on CodePlex. The documentation for ADAMDsk is located on the Adam Wiki.

Thanks for the reply. I want to transfer programs that I write in Assembler over to ADAMEm. You know, cross compiling. I don't care if the tool is gui or command line (would prefer command line capable so I can script execution with MAKE).

I know there has to be utilities out there to transfer files from Windows into ADAMEm DSK images. Right? I've spent the better part of the last day trying to find such a utility and it is escaping me. The closest thing I can find is the block editor in VirtualAdam, but that's obviously not a solution. I'd even settle for solid documentation on the format of an EOS floppy so I can roll my own utility (I have a lot of experience with this stuff on the Commodore platform). So, someone slap me with a clue hammer and point me at the obvious utility I keep overlooking. Thanks! Payton

Hello! I've taken some time and import the ADAM News Network's EOS Programmers Guide to the ADAM Wiki (http://www.adamwiki.info) and have made many minor edits (mostly formatting and OCR errors). Please check it out: http://www.adamwiki.info/index.php?title=EOS_Programmers_Manual Payton

Thanks. I'm in the process of Wiki-fying the EOS Programmers Guide in my spare time. Half-way done with it. Should be done this weekend and then I'll post the page link.

I've created a wiki to aggregate all this data. Please consider publishing to it at www.adamwiki.info

FWIW, I've also created an ADAM Wiki site: http://www.adamwiki.info It would be great if those who have a lot (or even a little) knowledge of the ADAM would join and contribute.

Is there an IRC channel focused on the Adam?

NM, just found it on FB. Weird how their search results don't show the group, but the autocomplete does.

I've searched for Coleco Adam on Facebook and there aren't any groups popping up, just a lame page from Wikipedia.

Usenet isn't quite dead yet. Google Groups is an interface for usenet, but Google has their own groups that aren't part of Usenet and are much more fully featured. I like Google Groups a lot more than forums because I don't need a web browser to participate. Much more convenient for mobile devices, IMHO.

For those of us who like to keep up with our hobbies via email, I've created a new Coleco Adam group at Google Groups. The URL is https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/coleco-adam Come on over and join!

Where do you buy these IDE controllers?

The Pi only has TTL-level RS232, just like the Arduino, which means you still need level shifters to make it usable as a modem. Plus, I don't do GNU/Linux programming. Hayesduino is completely open source and written in C++, so someone could easily port it. What would you call such a port? HayesPi? Slice of Hayes? Hayesduino is just so much better.

Howdy, long time no post. Anyways, a friend and I have designed and built the Hayesduino Mega Shield which is an RS232 shield for the Arduino Mega 2560. Hayesduino has outgrown the Arduino Uno, so we based the shield on the Mega. I will be demoing the complete package at VCFMW on September 12 in Chicago. I will try to have a couple of Hayesduino Mega Shields available for sale then.

Part 2 is now up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81abdk1JeJ8

My son recently expressed interest in learning programming. Instead of fumbling my way through it I decided to make a series of lessons on programming. This is the first one. I hope you guys enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEj3NbChJx8

OK, looked up the RFCs for SLIP and PPP. SLIP looks entirely doable, but I wouldn't touch PPP with a 10-foot pole. I'll add SLIP support to my todo list, but it'll be a while. I have to write a C64 demo for Christmas and some other projects that need my time.
