A replacement ColecoVision keypad carrying a DB9 socket, so a standard Atari-style joystick can be used for movement while the numeric keypad a ColecoVision game expects stays available - the same arrangement Champ Electronics sold in the 1980s, rebuilt by a member of the AtariAge community.
chart45 is an active hardware builder in the AtariAge ColecoVision and ADAM forum, better known there for the AY-3-8910 sound board that lets an ADAM run Super Game Module titles.
LITTLE IS RECORDED about this unit specifically - how it was built, how many exist, and whether it was sold or shared as a design all want confirming.
