Notes

One of ConsoleMoo's rCAP external supplies for the Coleco ADAM, this version fitted with a DB9 Y-connector so the supply can feed two points rather than one.

Why it is needed

  • Its power supply lives inside the daisy wheel printer, so a printerless machine will not start.
  • The supply must provide +12V on two pins, +5V, -5V and ground; the negative rail rules out an ordinary adapter.

WHAT rCAP STANDS FOR, and what the Y-connector's two ends serve, are not recorded here. The repurposed-printer-cable version is catalogued separately.
