PROTOTYPE ADAM COMPONENTS

A double density disk drive for those who prefer the disk storage medium. This state of the art accessory allows data storage of up to 360K bytes or characters on readily available 5¼" floppy disks. Information retrieval is swift and efficient, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent disk access.

Most ADAM software will be available on 5¼" disks as well as the standard digital data packs. The 5¼" Disk Drive will work with all ADAM software, including SmartWRITER word processing and CP/M®‑based programs. The Disk Drive Module fits easily into the Memory Console and can be used in conjunction with the Digital Data Drive. And whenever the user is ready, adding a second Disk Drive will be easy.

Tractor Feed for SmartWRITER™ Printer. Designed especially for ADAM! Snaps on to the SmartWRITER printer to securely hold continuous-feed fanfold paper in any width up to 9%". This will make using the printer even quicker and more convenient, since paper will no longer have to be loaded one page at a time.

Adds 64K bytes of RAM to give the ADAM system a total of 144K Random Access Memory. It increases the workspace capacity of SmartWRITER word processing by 64,000 characters ... a full 32 pages of double-spaced text. It's a "card" that plugs directly into a slot beneath the access door of the Memory Console. Once it's in place, users can run more complex programs. The Memory Expander will increase the impressive power of ADAM, and add immeasurably to versatility.

Never released, though mentioned in the ADAM CP/M 2.2 manual. Implements one ADAMnet serial port (DB·25) and one ADAMnet parallel port (Centronics 30pin) with a single 6801 CPU. It is a box which attaches to the left side of the system console at the ADAM printer port: the regular ADAM printer plugs into the device and power is passed through it to the system console. One working example is known to exist.

An advanced 1200/300 baud full duplex modem at an unheard-of low price point! ADAMLink 1200 has its own built-in microprocessor. It connects right in to ADAM-Net and it couples directly to the phone line, too. No additional interface is necessary and there are no clumsy receiver cups.

The ADAM Link Telecommunications software package is included, which incorporates advanced features that will make the Modem easier to use, such as automatic dialing and 1200/300 baud speed selection. Electronic banking can be handled efficiently and electronic mail sent at high speed.

With the Modem, ADAM also becomes a terminal to access information services such as CompuServe, The Source, Dow Jones and ADAM On-Line, a new information service directed specifically at ADAM users. The package also includes a free sampling of CompuServe and ADAM On-Line.

Here's the new kid on the block! It's the KID VID Voice Module and adapter for ColecoVlsion and ADAM. It's so easy to install ... the adapter plugs in through the Expansion Port and connects directly to the Voice Module. This instantly transforms ColecoVision® or ADAMT into a talking educational system.

Kids will be enthralled, spending hour after hour watching, playing, listening, and learning! The Voice Module uses realistic human voices, music, and enhanced sound effects to coordinate with the action of specially-designed learning games! And, when it's not being used for games, the Voice Module doubles as a quality portable cassette recorder.
