intvdave Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 and trying to hold shift to select multiple files doesn't work. oh well. i'm sure i'll find more frustrating things. but that stuff pales in comparison to how awesome it is to use this keyboard again. Yes.... this is because SHIFT does not work like the PC key I had wished this worked as you want it to work but there is no way around what the keyboard is doing...at least from the interfaces point of view.

intvdave Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 The interface can now be purchased at: http://www.intellivision.us/adam_intfc/adam_intfc.php using Paypal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas.buckler Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 kinda awesome that shift working with pageup&pagedown. on linux mint ATM forget about selecting text with shift and arrow keys, but shift in combo with pageup/down works! haha dope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zwick Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The interface can now be purchased at: http://www.intellivision.us/adam_intfc/adam_intfc.php using Paypal I've just purchased one at that link. It is possible to get the source code for your device so that I can work on extending it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvdave Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 I've just purchased one at that link. It is possible to get the source code for your device so that I can work on extending it? PM sent. The interface is solely to be used with the keyboard and can not be extened to be a full fledged AdamNet interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milli V Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 If anyone has just the keyboard and is missing the cord to connect the keyboard to the Adam (or soon to be released interface), here is a link where you can buy a cable. http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=939 I bought one and it works perfectly. I am thinking the interface could be installed inside the keyboard. We are still trying to figure this out.... Thanks for this tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskerfan71 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi, I'd be interested in one of the interfaces if they are still available..Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvdave Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 I made a small run of interfaces for a few people that requested them. I have 2 left if anyone is still interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Vordermeier Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Well, it's been a few days since the Coleco ADAM Keyboard Adapter was advertised in the forum. Now I would like to use our Coleco emulator on the MSX computer with the keyboard and I am very interested in a new edition. The cross development from MSX and to Colecovision has borne a lot of fruits in the last years, because of the similar hardware it is easy to realize. So if you have a keyboard adapter in stock or are producing some again, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeKryptonite Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Any chance another interface might still be for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvdave Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 I am looking into getting a few more made. Not sure if it is going to happen. I will post here if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, I would love to buy one of these interfaces. The Coleco ADAM was my very first computer, but the one that I have now has a very poor connection to my TV. It would be wonderful to be able to use the keyboard with an emulator. Especially now that ColEM for Windows and Android supports ADAM. Does anyone know whether there is also a ColecoVision game controller adapter to USB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be more than what you are looking for but check out: http://intellivision.us/interface.php For one controller, check out: http://2600-daptor.com/ The Adam keyboard interface board is $70 + shipping. Shipping outside the U.S. is not cheap $25-$30 to Canada and around $40 to Europe. If you are interested in this, please contact me directly.

DaveC Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 If there are any of these still around or if there is another run happening, I'm interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsittler Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 If there is another batch I am interested in two of these. Very cool, and I saw a photo of one attached to an FPGA MSX clone recently which piqued my interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly willing to pay for that personal use in case it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tekman comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tron96 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I know that the interface will never get made again, but is there anyway to get the info and pcb gerber file to make your own? I would like to use my coleco keyboard on a pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
