    What a novelty!! We'll all be "bragging" about how we're 'mining' bitcoin on our 40-year-old CV! Merely for 'fun' and a nice laugh. Looking forward to a .rom release (end of May?).

    It will be put in the Adam Archive when its released :)

    Is there a way to put SmartBASIC on an Expansion ROM, which would finally give the Adam a BASIC-in-ROM like almost every other computer of its generation?

    I'm sure there is - I have a copy of it on a cartridge which is just as good.

    The original Coleco ADAM power supply that is built into the Smartwriter printer is a amazing design with a total of 4 different voltage outputs. We are all familiar with the regulated -5 volts DC output, + 5 volts DC output, and the 12 volts DC output. However coming out of the power supply is also 18 volts DC unregulated voltage that powers the ribbon solenoid in the daisy wheel printer. When measured with a digital meter the unregulated voltage output when not under a load is around 22.5 volts DC, and around 18 volts DC when under a load when printing a document.  Since most people do not use the Smartwiriter printer anymore many people forget the orignal Coleco power supply offers 4 different voltage outputs, instead of 3. Now on the printer/console 9 pin interface cable only 3 of those voltages are sent to the memory console. One has to measure the 4th voltage level from the Molex connector inside the Coleco ADAM Smartwriter printer power supply.

     

    Therefore if one is not able to repair their Smartwriter printer power supply, one would need to wire up both a regulated 18 volts DC power supply for printing and a -5 volts DC, 5 volts DC, and 12 volts DC power supply. There would be two separate third party regulated power supplies if one needed to use the Smartwriter printer since no one makes a one power supply solution that offers 18 volts DC, -5 volts DC, + 5 volts DC, and 12 volts DC.

    Most are looking to eliminate the printer not power it :)

    Does anyone know how many cycles I have to work with when the VDP triggers an NMI and when it starts the next screen? I don't want to overload my NMI routine too much and stomp on  the VDP.

    You had me with the bikini clad hottie! 😍 The possibilities of a CP/M cartridge that boots into a CP/M program such as MS Basic is interesting and all, but I’d personally get a lot more mileage outta the bikini babe. 🙄

    Got your attention

    Awesome! The serial adapter must be using hardware flow control, I can only get up to 600 bpos without dropping characters - and that is using a very simple (<1k) terminal program I created in ASM under CP/M and 40 column mode. I connect to a PI running TCPSER - so that is probably an issue too :)

    #FEBRUADAM is coming and it appears I may be the only one celebrating it this year. This is ok, we all have to start somewhere. For your part, you can start by subscribing to my channel so that you will be notified when all the yummy Adam content is uploaded. There is no charge. I am aiming for a video a day at the minimum. The link to the channel is: https://www.youtube.com/c/8bitmilli
