Notes

A replacement drive EPROM from E&T Software written for a disk drive converted by Eve Electronics - one third party's firmware for another's hardware, which is a fair picture of how the ADAM community worked after Coleco left.

What it is for

  • A converted drive using both sides of the disk holds 320K instead of the ADAM's standard 160K.
  • The drive's own processor has to be told how to address the second side, and that code lives in this EPROM.

Eve Electronics is catalogued here in its own right. LITTLE IS RECORDED about this update specifically - what it changed and which conversions it suited want confirming from the item and its documentation.
