Notes

A parallel printer interface for the ADAM from Eve Electronics, one of the third parties that kept the machine supplied after Coleco left it - printer cards among the hardware Eve is remembered for.

What it is for

  • The ADAM's own printer is a daisy wheel carrying the system's power supply. A parallel port lets any standard printer of the period be used instead - faster, quieter, and not load-bearing.
  • Parallel was the universal printer connection of the era, so the choice of printers was effectively everything on the market.

LITTLE IS RECORDED about the SP-1P specifically: which slot it takes, and what software drives it, want confirming from the card and its documentation. The SP-1C cable set is catalogued alongside it.
