Notes

A smaller external power supply for the Coleco ADAM from Rey Lopez - the compact version of the supply catalogued alongside it.

Why small matters here

  • An ADAM already occupies a desk with a memory console, a keyboard and, normally, a printer. Anything replacing the printer's role should not take its space as well.
  • A bare machine draws a fraction of what a fully expanded one does, so a modest supply serves an unexpanded ADAM perfectly well.

What it must provide

  • +12V on two pins, +5V, -5V and ground - the negative rail being what rules out an ordinary adapter.
