Notes

Overlays and stickers for the ADAM's keyboard, from CBS Electronics.

What they are for

  • The ADAM's keyboard carries six programmable function keys - the smart keys - and ten command keys for word processing operations. What those keys do depends on the program running.
  • An overlay labels them for a particular application, which is the only way a user knows what STORE/GET or a smart key will do in software that was not written by Coleco.

Why CBS's own

  • European machines came with CBS documentation, and in some markets with translated software - so the labels had to match the language the machine was speaking.
