Coleco Adam and Colecovision Power Supply

[+RangerG]

I've checked some of the past threads, but I still need to clarify one question with the Adam. Does the Colecovision power supply work with the Adam computer to only power Colecovision games? I believe it will IF you splice/connect the Adam power supply end to it, but not in stock form - is this correct?

[Pixelboy]

That's correct.

[doubledown]

Yes.

That's what I thought from the posts. Do you splice/connect it to the end of the printer cord ? That light brown cord with the flat end? On e-coleco the picture is of the Colecovision power supply even though it says Adam game power supply.

eColeco just rewires the connecting end of the cable of a standard CV power supply with a standard 9-pin connector. The problem is that such a standard 9-pin connector doesn't fit well into the Adam's memory console, so you have to chip off a piece of plastic from the console, or remove the plastic casing around the 9-pin connector for it to connect properly.

 

That's why I'm still waiting for doubledown to resume his work on his custom ADAM power supply.

Oh I'm sure he'll get back around to it one of these days.

Got it, that makes sense. I think DoubleDown is busy at work on something new (he wants all those manuals) .
