Notes

A small board that fits a Coleco ADAM with the General Instrument AY-3-8910 sound generator, designed by chart45 and published as an open PCB project that anyone can have fabricated.

Why it matters

  • Opcode's Super Game Module gives a ColecoVision two things: 32K of RAM and an AY-3-8910.
  • An ADAM already has the RAM, so the sound chip is the only part missing - and this board supplies it.
  • With it fitted, Super Game Module titles will play on the ADAM.

The design is shared publicly at PCBWay, which is where the gerbers for it can be found.
