Power Surprise with the ADAM
One of the most useful peripherals for the Coleco ADAM is the FujiNet. I got the FujiNet for my CoCo in a previous entry, and it rocks. Adding one simple PCB turned that machine from a generally-useless lump with expensive cartridges, into a very fun computer with online cross-platform multiplayer games, easily updatable software, and expensive cartridges. Would it be just as good on the ADAM? Yes, but somehow I still ended up designing a whole new PCB.

Do I have a Bad Adam?
What do you do when you get a diagnostics cartridge that doesn’t work? Make your own, to make sure your computer isn’t too sick to be diagnosed. And then you can diagnose the diagnostics. Why, how do you spend your Friday nights?

I don't know you from Adam
No self-respecting Coleco owner’s collection is complete without the machine that was their ultimate undoing: the Coleco Adam. Adam’s a game console. Adam’s a computer. Adam’s a bizarre hash of over-engineering and under-manufacturing. It’s all of those things, and more, which would make it perfect for this blog even if I wasn’t knee-deep in ColecoVision construction.
