I should have done some more research before asking. Thanks for that info!

Not sure if there would be much demand for this, but what about Linux command line utilities to build and populate APT based images for use with SIDE2/SIDE3/U1MB systems and/or Altirra?

Looking forward to your progress with this. Also interested in GearADAM.

Hi Tursi -- I only mentioned the .hgrh format as it was one that was available in the convert9918 utility. I can certainly use something else (like CVPaint as you mentioned). Even though I'm working on an Adam, I'm guessing any regular Coleco(vision) program would be compatible. I see you also have a Adam PowerPaint 10K format. I'll look to see what is needed to display that, too. Thanks for the speedy reply on this!

Hi Tursi - I know this is an older post, but recently started using your utility for the TI-99/4a and now trying it out for the Coleco Adam. I have an F18A in both systems, so I'm interested in using those conversion modes. The slideshow program you made for the TI is great! Do you know if there is such a thing for the Adam? I am not sure how to display the .HGRH image format on the Adam. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Not a problem at all -- just hobby stuff! I'm interested in the source to see if I can get it to compile on a Raspberry Pi. Thanks again!

Hi Geoff -- any update on this? Thanks!

Tried it again and it seemed to work! Not sure if I did anything wrong the first time. I will PM you the log. Thank you!

Hi @Atlan_Roland, First, thank you so much for sharing this excellent project. I went ahead and tried this out for the first time today on my 800XL (U1MB and Sophia DVI equipped). I built the 360K disk image using GOG's Ultima V archive and that went well. No issues at all. I get the following error (see screenshot) after entering my character name and after it loads for a bit. I've tried loading this (on real hardware) from my FujiNet (SD card) and AVG cart (SD card) using the SIO pigtail. It will also crash (at the same point) when using Altirra 4.20-test 14 (please see additional screenshots). I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong, but figured I would provide this information if it really is an issue. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Is this Vulcan test suite available? Thanks!

Stock 6809 Super clean, no discoloring. Works great My only (and cleanest) completely stock spare $300 (buyer pays shipping) Will be bringing to CoCoFEST

BUMP!

I just pulled the latest updates and it now compiles for me (including the Raspberry Pi (ARM). Thank you very much for making that SDL LockTextureToSurface change.

Hi @Geoff Oltmans, I was able to download a current version of your emulator from James's adamarchive.org site and this one works perfectly on my Linux Mint 20.1 system: ADAMem SDL v2.1g Linux (2023) (Geoff Oltmans).zip I'd like to know if the source is available for this more recent version as I'd like to try to compile it for use on my Raspberry Pi 4 (ARM). Thank you!

I did try to compile this on my Linux Mint 20.1 system but ran into an error: ~/source/bulwip$ make cc -O3 -g -c -o bulwip.o bulwip.c cc -O3 -g -c -o cpu.o cpu.c cc -O3 -g -c -o ui.o ui.c cc -O3 -g -I/usr/include/SDL2 -D_REENTRANT -c -o sdl.o sdl.c sdl.c: In function ‘vdp_text_clear’: sdl.c:551:2: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘SDL_LockTextureToSurface’; did you mean ‘SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface’?

BUMP! Thanks

Here's some photos I took during the assembly process of the RAM expansion and MIB boards.

Hello everyone, I built a small run of MIB238 WiFi and RAM expansion boards for use with a Coleco Adam. I kept 1 each for myself and selling the remaining ones to help recoup project costs as some of these parts are getting quite difficult to find and can be expensive. I have 1 MIB238 WiFi board and 1 RAM expansion board left. MIB238 WiFi board (project information here): https://github.com/epearsoe/MIB238 Includes flat ribbon cable for use with remote serial terminal $130 plus shipping (flat rate small box for U.S.). Please contact me for international pricing. *** SOLD OUT *** 1MB RAM expansion (project information here): https://forums.atariage.com/topic/289628-coleco-adam-ram-expansion-options-advice-please/?do=findComment&comment=4271226 Works great as a RAM disk in EOS, T-DOS and CP/M Battery backup capability $65 plus shipping (flat rate small box for U.S.). Please contact me for international pricing. Please PM me if interested. Thank you!

Hi NIAD, I know this is an older post, but do you still have the same information handy? Thanks!

Quick update: I was able to get ADAM Image Manager to copy a MBASIC.COM file to an existing BLANK CP/M DSK image without issue (this would not work when creating a new DSK image using that function within ADAM Image Manager). T-DOS recognized it as well (great). Unfortunately, the MBASIC.COM binary I found won't load and dies with an error. Not necessarily surprising, but figured I would try (based on your suggestion). It sure looks like MBASIC will need to be updated/patched to work under T-DOS.

I found some generic versions of MS BASIC to try out. What is the best way to get these files onto a CP/M (T-DOS) disk image? I've tried using Adam Image Manager v1.1.1.0 (under Windows 10) but no luck (buggy or perhaps I just don't know how to use it properly). Thanks

I have only tried the various BASIC versions on the Adam Archive. Let me see what I can find for a more "generic" version and try it. Please let me know what you find as well. Thank you!

Hello everyone, Been spending time trying to find a version of BASIC that will work under T-DOS and not having any luck. They all begin to load and then just lock the system up. My preferred environment is using an IDE controller with the NIAD v2.3 - 100Mb (Dual) CF Card images. I have tried booting T-DOS from FujiNet as well, but same results when trying to load multiple versions of MS BASIC. I believe these BASIC's are compatible with CP/M, however, I don't know of any CP/M version that will work from an IDE HDD system. Thanks for anyone who can help!

That's very impressive. Thanks for sharing the code!

I don't believe this program was updated to take advantage of the F18a. As you mentioned, it's just taking advantage of the very clear picture to be able to read the 80 column font used in netcat80. It would be nice to see some programs like this (or even CP/M) take advantage of the F18a's native 80 column capability. I am looking into a few things myself.
