Notes

Trisyd's sound digitizer cartridge with their SmartClock EPROM built into it - two products in one cartridge slot.

Why combine them

  • The ADAM has few places to put things, and a cartridge slot occupied by a digitizer is a slot not holding anything else.
  • The SmartClock EPROM, catalogued separately here, is what teaches the machine about a real-time clock. The ADAM has no clock of its own, so files are written undated unless something supplies one.

What the digitizer does

  • Samples real sound, stores it and plays it back - which the ADAM's own tone-generator audio cannot do.
