Notes

SP-1: Opens the ADAM to the outside world. The SP-1 includes an RS-232C Serial channel, and a (Centronics) Parallel printer channel. The SP-1 allows the use of hundreds of different printers, both high speed dot matrix, and letter quality. With the SP-1 you can now use standard models, and direct connect to other computer systems. The SP-1 comes with software for use with SmartBasic, and CP/M. The SmartBasic programs allow the selective output to either the serial port, the parallel port, or the ADAM printer. A program is also provided to allow 'draft' printout of a Smartwriter file to either the serial or parallel port. The CP/M program allow the 'IOBYTE' in CP/M to be set for the desired output.
