Component video mod for Adam?

[djpubba]

Has anyone made up a schematic for the component video mod for Adam (or ColecoVision)?

I don't know about the Adam, but I did this mod for a Colecovision. It is simple and works pretty good.

Doogle-- that's the composite mod. Standalone Adam has that natively. Component would be the RGB style cables.

Oops... sorry, my bad for not reading that correctly.

If the Adam has a TMS9928A (sorry, I'm not 100% sure which chip it uses), you could get one of these: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/153635-component-video-mod-for-colecovision/page__fromsearch__1

Yep, 9928A.

 

That looks nice but I'm more of a DIY'er. Any chance you'd share your schematics?

Bump.

 

25+ years and nobody's documented it?

It's only on paper. I'll try to remember to scan it one of these days.

The Stand-Alone version of the ADAM actually has 3 video connection options:

 

- RCA cable output to a R/F box for TVs

- RCA composite cable output to a monitor (no sound)

- 7-pin DIN connector (or was it 5-pin?) to an RGB monitor (yellow RCA plug for video and white for sound)

 

Now the ColecoVision and Exp. Mod. #3 ADAM would need the video mod. available from Yurkie (for composite) or 5-11 (for component) or you could buy one of those video conversion adaptors that are widely available. If you buy the adaptor, you better do your homework as I have read both good and bad about them.
