If you just need the board I found them on CanaKit for $12.95 CAD. That's for the Pi Zero W, which is what I ended up purchasing. The only catch is that there's no free shipping option so that increases the overall cost. https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-zero-wireless.html

? This is brilliant! Nicely done, @rietveld I think I'll have to order myself a Pi Zero and give this a try.

Somehow I didn't get it. This is for the ADAM variant of the SGM, right? Can you please post or PM me the pre-order link?

I came here for exactly the same reason! I added my email when that post went up on FB but I haven't heard anything since and was starting to get worried that I had typo'd my own email address and missed the announcement.

Insta-bought the Kindle release the day it came out!

Seems to be working! It wouldn't launch when I copied the SDL2 framework to /Library/Frameworks (security issue) but I was able to get it to work by installing the framework in my user ~/Library/Frameworks folder instead. I can't test thoroughly test right now but I was able to get it to boot a few different .dsk images without issue. Full screen worked too! A couple of issues I did notice so far: The names of the mounted disk images don't show up in the menu Mounting to anything other than disk 1 or tape 1 doesn't seem to work Thanks for developing this! ?

I'd love to try it out!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I'm wondering if @Geoff Oltmans or anyone else has ADAMem SDL binary running on modern macOS? The old one will no longer work (likely due to it being 32-bit). I currently use ADAMem via DOSbox on my Mac but it'd sure be nice to have a GUI for it.

That sounds like a great idea! Not sure if you've seen "Silicon Cowboys" (about Compaq) but something in that style with the ADAM/CV as the focus would be very cool.

PM sent!

Upcoming CV/ADAM book? Given that you posted this in 2016, whatever happened to this book?

It seems to be mostly up... this is probably the page you'd be interested in though: http://www.diroccovision.com/Coleco/adam/ADAM.htm ?

Very cool! I love that the ADAM can be connected via WiFi like this. Now we just need some ANSI-capable terminal software for ADAM! ?

Very cool of you, thanks! ?

? Totally jealous rn!! Mind if I ask where did you find one and is there any more?

Wait... does this mean you found a serial card for your Adam??

Bump! Also... failing to locate an MIB3 card, I could definitely use a (slot one) dual serial card instead. Basically, if you have any card that adds a serial port to the Adam I am interested. ?

Welcome to the club. I have been looking for an ADAM serial card for months with absolutely no luck! I have posted all over and even messaged people privately but... nada. I bought a WiModem232 a while back figuring that I would eventually come across an MIB card so I could use it. Little did I know just how scarce those cards would be!! The most frustrating thing is that it seems like I just missed the window of availability. Based on the many threads and posts I've scoured over this time there seemed to be (some) cards available as late as 2018 but I didn't pull my ADAM out of storage until 2019. I do have an ADAMLink modem but I don't have the hardware skills to convert it so I'm in the same boat as you.

I've already pre-ordered the book anyway but if you have time to include some Mac-specific instructions that would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much for posting this! I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I couldn't write to a blank disk image. After DEL *.* it's all good!

No worries, if/when ever you get around to it I’ll be curious to see it!

? Heheheh, maybe. But you could possibly(?) use one of those cheap pre-recorded sound chips from a Hallmark card to make it more cost effective. Sound quality wouldn't have to be top-notch as its emulating 1983 speech synthesis. Anyway, it's not really important it was just a random idea. I'm much more interested in what the controller will look like!

I love all of these ideas! WOPR inspired design would be sweet too. Another crazy idea: a digitized “Greetings Professor Falken” voice that plays when the game starts.

Ok, happy to hear you're still working on it. Thanks for the quick reply!
