But, subscribing in monetary form  alone will not be sufficient to assure the continuance of the service. In order for that to be assured,   A.N.N. will continue to need your input, in the form of articles,         programs, comments, reviews and etc., so that these can be redistributed  to other interested groups and individual parties. As evidenced by the enthusiasm with which this ADAM News Network          initiative ADAM User's   Group, (SLAUG). Barry who is a practising attorney, was so enthusiastic   about the possibilities of this network, that he devoted a considerable   part of his personal time and financial resources to the concept. The result, as you can readily see if you have been exposed to the end    product, "ADAM news available on a grand scale", has been a complete      success. But this success has, of itself, created the present situation,  whereby the financial load has become too great to be borneessential that the       following simple rules be meticulously applied:1.

NEWSLETTERSpeedyWRITE V2.0 RE-ALERTby Terry KayserIn Issue #64, 1990, you had a SpeedyWRITE alert from DeanRoades of 463 ADAM. Dean explains how, when he uses CONTROL +] to check the length of a document, his printer locks up.Well, I tried it and my printer and it doesn't lock up.I did everything exactly like he said. I got one of my fileswith a lot of printer control codes in it. I then selectedwhich printer (dot matrix) to use frANZ (ADAMZAP). LET THESE DEALERS KNOW YOU APPRECIATE THEIR SUPPORT OF ADAM, ANN & ASG. PATRONIZE THEM AND  TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO DO SO.THE INITIAL PUBLICATION & COSTS WILL BE MADE POSSIBLE BY THOSE DEALERS    NAMED ABOVE TAKING OUT ADS, THEY DESERVE OUR THANKS.     BUT IT IS VERY   IMPORTANT TO CONTACT THE OTHER DEALERS AND LET THEM KNOW YOU WOULD        APPRECIATE THEIR SUPPORTING THE ADAM SURVIVAL GUIDE PROJECT WITH AN AD.   VERY IMPORTANT. When you write to or buy from an Adam Dealer, ASK THEM TO ADVEk-up for sure, but it didn't. The number of pagesand lines came up again. Dean doesn't say what type ofprinter he is using. I have a Panasonic KX-P1124.I have had SpeedyWRITE lock up on me sometimes when I useCONTROL + ], but not because of not having paper in theprinter. Here is the reason SpeedyWRITE has locked up on me.Sometimes when you save a document, it get's "GOOFED UP". Bythat I mean, if you scroll through your document, you'll seea lot of "WEIRD SYMBOLS" that you didn't put there. Thesevery involving SignShop, a memory expander and Walter'sSmartDSK III package.As we all know, the constant reliance on loading andsaving data via the Data Drives and even the Disk Drives cannot only be a little time consuming but cause prematureaging of these units with excessive use.List and print out the programs entitled "SS.OBJ" and"piceditor" respectively.Program one: Line 1310 calls for use of a disk drive.Not having one I changed this line to read "RAM DISK". Line1380 needs to be changed tty spaces. After doing all this you will find 3 or 4 linesof text still missing. Those you'll have to type back in.After that's done, press CONTROL + N.After you cleared the delete buffer, go to the top of yourdocument and press CONTROL + D, then go to almost the bottom,about 3 or 4 spaces back from the END OF PAGE marker. Thenslowly creep up on the END OF PAGE marker, don't go past it.If you watch the number of bytes, you'll see that if you gopast it, 3 or 4 more bytes will be subtracted, but the ogramwhich makes the SignShop program run even faster.NOTE: If this conversion is made, also change the last linein the SignShop title program, the file called "signshop" toread < PRINT CHR$(4); "brun SS.OBJ" >. Add a timing loop toprevent the title program from running too fast.ADAM RIBBON FEEDING PROBLEMby Ron KellyA hint on the ribbon cartridge's feeding problems: my printerstill had problems with ribbon advancement even with thespring weakened. To remedy it, I partially filed off theprotrur document is.One last note, if you try to print your document with allthose "WEIRD SYMBOLS" in it, your printer will go crazy, andI do mean CRAZY!So next time CONTROL + ] doesn't work, look through yourdocument for those "WEIRD SYMBOLS". You'll know what I meanby weird as soon as you see them.SUPED-UP SignSHOPby Allen SmithRecently I received "SignShop" by Strategic Software. Asnoted in one of N.I.A.D.'s back issues, this package isexcellent. By experimentation I've made an interestingdiscosymbols are what make SpeedyWRITE lock up.When SpeedyWRITE locks up, bring your document back up andscroll through it. Sooner or later you'll run into thesesymbols. It will look like you lost half of your document,but fear not, keep scrolling. You'll hit the END OF PAGEmarker, but if you press the HOME and DOWN ARROW again, thescreen will start scrolling again and the rest of yourdocument will come into view. In order to get the wholedocument back, you have to delete all the "WEIRD SYMBOLS" andempo read < dn$=",d7" >. D7 is used byWalter's package for the ram disk. Save this change.Program two: Lines 1320 and 1750 should be changed toread < dr$=",d7" >. Save this change.Load Walter's SmartDSK package then SmartBASIC V1.0, I'musing volume 1.0. Copy the new versions of the entireSignShop package to the RamDisk. If you are using only oneData Drive, the changes should be to 'd2' instead of 'd7'.Also I've converted the SS.OBJ program to a machinelanguage binary file using Walter's cruncher prnextEND OF PAGE marker will be in the exact same spot as the oneyou went past. So that's why you have to creep up on the ENDOF PAGE marker. Once you get to the END OF PAGE marker, pressCONTROL + D. Now that you have everything in the deletebuffer, press CONTROL + C or CLEAR and when it asks if yoursure, press "Y". Now bring everything back by pressingMOVE/COPY. You now have your document back without the "WEIRDSYMBOLS" and empty spaces and you can use the CONTROL + ]feature to find out how long youding rib on the bottom side of the cartridge (on theleft side) to allow the cartridge to seat further down on thedrive post. PRESTO! That worked very well! The drive postjust wasn't reaching up into the drive gear in the cartridgeitself to get a good "bite", and consequently would slip. Ifthis were to continue, it could damage the drive post as itis only plastic. Hope that helps.ZORAN III HINTSby ADAMzap Software / Eric DanzAttention all programmers involved with the CIA and FBIcomputer virus seardless of the hardware used.Now what will an ADAM user notice about using FORTH?IT'S FAST!Relative to BASIC and LOGO, most ADAM users will be startledby the speed of the FORTH execution.

NEWSLETTERMath Mentor is an educational software program that wasdeveloped as a means for children to master arithmetic in anumber of ingenious ways.  Children are walked through thebasic of arithmetic functions through pre-game coachingexamples, practice drills, and the availability to printoutarithmetic tables for further study outside of the program.Lessons are provided in which the child(ren) h oneplayer drill in which equations are presented on the screenand must be answered correctly in order to build a hotel.Answer incorrectly and part of the hotel will be disassembledor you may lose the game. THE GREAT ELEPHANT ROUND-UP is ahead-to-head drill which offers two skill levels. The goal ofthe game is to answer random equations correctly. Byanswering correctly, you will not only win points, but alsobe able to capture some elephants and place them in your pen.The player who fills their pen ose from with the first twonot offering any drilling, but more or less a prelude to thedrills. SWAMI'S GREAT INVENTION is a mythological story onhow and why the arithmetic system was developed by a swami.BEATING THE SYSTEM details a number of ways in which thearithmetic system can be mastered more easily by children.The last two options are COMMERCIAL, which runs through briefdescriptions of other Hal Weber programs and EXIT.THE BANKER is the first of four arithmetic drills. It dealssolely with thnce the drilling of arithmetic equations is themain focus in these tutorials. The major drawback to MathMentor is the fact that sufficient instructions are notprovided. There are simple text displays which explain thebasics, but sometimes a bit of experimenting is required.Overall, Math Mentor is a solid arithmetic drilling programwhich should be well accepted by parents who have childrenranging from roughly 6 to 12 years of age, especially sincethere is a tremendous lack of educational programs avaed. THE ARMS RACE pits two players head-to-head withthree skill level options in a race to answer randomequations before the opponent in order to build up ones ownarsenal before the opponent can. The screen is divided inhalf with each correct answer adding to one's currentarsenal. If a wrong answer is given a plane flies over andmay or may not drop a bomb on the arsenal that has beencompiled. If a bomb strikes, part of the arsenal is lost. Theplayer who fills their arsenal first wins.

You can use the standard ADAMprinter for printing "text-only" labels. But the real fun isdesigning graphic labels... and, of course, you can printthem only if you have a dot matrix printer.You DON'T need a disk drivextra fonts and clips without loading them.There are five separate doc files.

Theonly improvement I'd like to see would be a way to edit eachletter individually WITHOUT retyping the line. You can evenuse embedded commands within the lines of text, so that youcan vary type styles with your dot matrix printer (suchcommands will be ignored by your daisy wheel printer.)Imbedded commands use a backslash, NOT a carat, with thisprogram.You can print text-only labels on either a dot matrix OR anADAM printer, and you can select from among nine differentdarkness nce the drilling of arithmetic equations is themain focus in these tutorials. The major drawback to MathMentor is the fact that sufficient instructions are notprovided. There are simple text displays which explain thebasics, but sometimes a bit of experimenting is required.Overall, Math Mentor is a solid arithmetic drilling programwhich should be well accepted by parents who have childrenranging from roughly 6 to 12 years of age, especially sincethere is a tremendous lack of educational programs avaefully.THE DOC FILESThe documentation for SLP is quite good, but it's not"dynomite". I would prefer to have seen a hardcopy manualsimilar to the ones that came with early DEI packages. Thedocumentation for SLP is all contained on the media. There   isan advantage to that, of course, because it is always closeat hand. But the docs must be read from the word processor,which obviously means that they can't incorporate graphicexamples to illustrate the instructions; nor is there a wayto preview the e, but SLP supports up to threedisk drives. You don't need any other software, either. Youwill no doubt want to collect several volumes of             CLIPPER-typeclip-art, though; and if you own PowerPAINT, you will find   itis a valuable companion package for SLP.TEXT LABELSFirst, a quick description of text-only functions: There areMANY options for text-only labels. There are three standardlabel sizes and, in addition, there is an option by which    youcan define your OWN size. Text entry is qhis is not one of those programs thatis entirely self-explanatory, and you will definitely wantthe docs for reference.NOW FOR THE REAL FUN!!!!Graphics label design is nothing new to ADAMites. Severalpeople already specialize in designing labels. Richard       Lefko,Ron Collins and Tony Patterson, in particular, turn outwonderful labels using PowerPAINT. There is also a verypopular label program by Walters Software, called "The LabelWorks". Both of those programs can use clip-art to enhancelabelsmodule.You've never seen anything like it (at least not on an       ADAM!)When you choose the "text edit" module, you will find fivedifferent font sets in memory. All five are different sizes:1 is 4x8 pixels (half the width of the usual fonts.) Size 2is 8x8 pixels, which is the same as normal fonts. Size 3 is8x16, or twice as tall as normal; size 4 is 16x16, or thesame size as normal sprites; and size 5 is a whopping 16pixels wide by 32 pixels tall! You select the fonts bypressing CONTROL+P.If yn       duringintermission. You are not, of course, restricted to thosechoices. You can load your own favorite clip-art. There iscertainly no lack of clip-art in the world of ADAM!After you have chosen your clip, you can place it anywhere   inthe framework displayed on your screen. You can use more     thanone clip, and you can even flip the clips left-to-right (notupside down, though.) When you are designing a medium orlarge label, you can use clips in conjunction with borders.Small labels are anrent module can access, the line willread "UNKNOWN". When you select a font set, it will replacethe original set OF THE SAME SIZE. You will always have fivedifferent sizes in memory at any given time.You CAN'T load regular font sets from outside sources. SLPfonts are saved in a totally different format. I think it'sreasonable to expect that additional sets will be availableat a future date. There are PLENTY to choose from here, but,like the lady said, "You can't be too rich, or too thin...and you n it      usingPowerPAINT. Finally, you can avoid the whole issue bychoosing either a border by itself OR a clip by itself... orby selecting a larger label.Placing a border around any size label is delightfullysimple. In fact, it's INSTANT. Merely enter a number from 1to 16, and the corresponding style of border draws itself.Entering the number 17 erases any existing border.LETTERINGSo far, so good. But the best is yet to come! By far the     mostversatile feature of SLP is it's "text-editing" , and both work beautifully. But there has never beenanything like SLP!SLP contains modules for three different sizes of graphiclabels, sixteen different choices of borders (or you canleave the border blank) and an incredible selection of fontstyles. It also includes 7 clips.The clips include a Smiley face, a bell, Mickey Mouse, aRoman soldier, a heart, a Jack-olantern, an an apparentlysentient bag of popcorn (?!) that looks as though it walkedout of one of those cartoons they play at the drive-iou don't see exactly what you want, you can load othersets into memory. The system disk contains eleven additionalsets, for a grand total of sixteen choices. The various      sizesand shapes are sure to include just what you're looking for.To load a new font set, look for filenames ending in .sz1(for size 1) through .sz5. If you forget, though, look at    thelast line on the "file card" as you scroll through thefiles. It will display the file type. If the file is any     typeother than what the curother matter.The height of the small label is just barely the height of apiece of clip-art. Clips are a bit too large to fit withinthe confines of the border. There are exceptions, though. Ifthe clip is centered, and the art does not come all the wayto the edges of the clip, you may be able to add a borderAFTER placing the clip.Or, you can choose to overwrite either part of the border orpart of the clip. If you aren't satisfied with that, you caneven Save the label and put the finishing touches ocan't have too many fonts!" (Well, that's what sheSHOULD have said.)And that's STILL not the best part. The best part is... areyou ready for this?... USER-DEFINED VARIABLE SPACING! Inother words, you can choose to place your letters closertogether of further apart, either horizontally or            vertically.Until now, you were pretty much stuck with 8-pixelincrements. That meant that you often had too much space, ortoo little, between letters, words, and whole lines. It'swonderful to be able to  otherhand, print just fine.I guess I got carried away, didn't I? But this is the mostexciting program I've seen since... well, since PowerPAINT.  Iwon't lie to you. This is NOT the fastest program you eversaw in your life. It won't even fit on a single diskette;    youhave to load first the bootup disk, and then the system      disk.(I haven't seen the datapack version.) And scrolling throughdirectories is time-consuming... even though it's a greatidea to have filetype information displayed for e larger and smaller sizesof numbers to create interesting affects, especially fordollar amounts.But wait! There's MORE! After you've designed your label,    youcan store it and retrieve it later in PowerPAINT. SLP        doesn'thave any actual drawing capabilities, but if you want to addspecial touches of your own, you can use sprites, brushes,polygons, or any of the other PowerPAINT features. Just aslong as you stay within the border, you can load it back     intoSLP with all the added extras int otherhand, print just fine.I guess I got carried away, didn't I? But this is the mostexciting program I've seen since... well, since PowerPAINT.  Iwon't lie to you. This is NOT the fastest program you eversaw in your life. It won't even fit on a single diskette;    youhave to load first the bootup disk, and then the system      disk.(I haven't seen the datapack version.) And scrolling throughdirectories is time-consuming... even though it's a greatidea to have filetype information displayed for els, including 9 different choices fordarkness, and the option of printing out any number of       labelsfrom 1 to 255. There are options for using a color printer,too.In addition, you can choose to print the label inversely (a"negative" image.) Be careful here. Don't choose the"inverse" printing unless you are printing medium sizelabels! With both large and small sizes, the inverse imageprints BEYOND THE BORDER of the label. My guess is that itwould be hard on your print head! Medium sizes, on thecontrol the gaps.My suggestion: always choose the smallest increment forvertical spacing. If you set the space at 4 pixels, you canspace the letters close together, but you can also space     themfurther apart by hitting the arrow key twice. It's just moreflexible that way, and it saves time.I figured out some other neat tricks, too. For example, thelarger font sets don't contain a full range of punctuation.You can make periods or colons by using the "O" from thesmaller sizes. And you can combineach entry.And you'd darn well better read the docs. But even so, Ithink this is going to turn out to be one of your all-timefavorites! It's ALREADY one of mine.One more last thought, and then I'll let you go. When youthink about how you will use this program, don't confine     yourthinking to address labels. Think bookplates, disk labels,nametags, seals, gift tags, stickers, memos....!PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE the label. My guess is that itwould be hard on your print head! Medium sizes, on theact. The point to rememberhere is that, when you SAVE your picture from PowerPAINT, besure to save it as a "Binary 10K File" and give it a titlethat ends in the same file extension as it had originally.Otherwise, SLP won't be able to find it. Each label size     endsin a unique extension. If that sounds complicated, don'tworry; it's not. Just look at the original filename and copythe final letters when you rename the file.When it's time to print the label, you have the same optionsas for text labex	E€ááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááDEMONS OF THE DDDby Rich Clee     When Coleco was frantically rushing the ADAM to         completion, the Digital Data Drive (DDD) seemed like an      absolutely brilliant idea.      The many MTAG members, among all the other ADAM owners, who have e advice that will let the owner fix the     ADAM himself. Terry's point is well taken, especially in     regard to tape drives.     Not everything that goes wrong with a tape drive can be cured by a home fix. But if it's 2 a.m., you need to store   the essay that's due tomorrow afternoon, and suddenly all of your tapes produce a message saying "cannot write to this    file", there are a couple of techniques worth trying.     The first thing to do is take your little foam swab,    dip it in a bottle of to think     that was much of an improvement.     Disc drives? These machines were supposed to be         affordable. ADAM would offer one - a single-sided, 160K unit of highly respectable speed, at about $800 the pair, which   was quite in line with the prices charged by the competition and compared well with them in performance. But for the      ordinary, tight-budget user, that was a fancy frill for the  real hackers. Coleco made the DDD part of the basic package. It ran ten times faster than a tape rehem, it might be worth trying a Megacopied tape and a 320K tape. This gets into the reason why the tape      someone copied for you, and that you saw working on his      machine, doesn't work on yours. The DDD is very sensitive to speed variations and can drift far from factory settings     over time. If your DDD has drifted, even tapes used or       recorded on it at the old, original speed may refuse to      work. The reason a Megacopied or 320K tape may work is that  they have different formats and henceMs choose to soldier on with the  original Digital Data Drive.     At this point my 'phone starts ringing. "Where can I    get an ADAM fixed". "My tape drive won't work". "Where can I get new tapes?". "I keep getting error messages". What to    do?     In the latest issue of AIM, Terry Fowler (who fixes     ADAMs) has put in a special plea to all club executives and  newsletter editors. Please, Terry asks us, tell our members  to phone first before sending an ADAM in for repairs. Many   times he can givsince sat cursing the infernal machine may beg to   differ. But there was a rationale behind it.     You have to remember that when the ADAM was concieved,  around late 1980, owners of competitive machines would have  given their eye teeth for such a machine. TI99/4A, Apple II, Coomodore Vic-20 and C64 and other owners were using plain   ordinary tape recorders to feed data in and out. Speed?      Reliability? You had to date back to when you entered a      program by cross-connecting circuit board plugs tape head cleaner, and very gently but thoroughly clean the tape reading head. Never, never, never, under pain of causing the irretrievable demise of your DDD,  use a demagnetizer or abrasive tape cleaner. Just swab the   cleaner on, blot up the excess with all the tape granules    that have stuck to the head, and let it dry. This will often do the job. In fact, you should be doing it as a matter of   course every few months anyway.     As implied earlier, you should try a couple of tapes.   If you have tcorder. It stored more than half again as much as a disc, and discs at that point   were neither cheap not noted for reliability. Some ADAMites  claimed the DDD was faster than the C64's original disc      drive. It was a good deal - then.     Of course now it's easy to bring the ADAM into the      '90s. A number of vendors will be delighted to sell you all  the disc drives you want, hard or floppy, of great speed,    marvellous reliability, and ridiculously low price. Even so, many who underuse their ADA run at effectively     different speeds.     According to one of the ADAM repair specialists, 90% of the dead tape drives he sees have the same faulty part -     number Q4 (or Q6 on later revision boards), a Panasonic chip #2N3906. This is a chip governing the speed circuit. It      emphasizes how critical speed control is to the working of   the Digital Data Drive.     So if cleaning doesn't work, and assuming you're using  mostly Loran clear-label tapes, get out your copy of the     MTAG Speedcheck purther, etc. etc. gets very tedious and inspires  people to take dumb shortcuts. That's likely why Coleco      moved the screw to the bottom and made you take off the      ground connection to get at it; it makes you do the job the  safe way - for you and your ADAM.     Since MTAG has many new members, some may not know that one of our veteran members, Syd Carter, has long been        fascinated by the formatting process. Some years ago he      devised a machine that, when installed in your ADAM, allowed under the Coleco  brand name, as well as their own. At one point, Coleco       changed the format on their house-brand tapes, and           distinguished them with an opaque grey label. They require a different original; if Speedcheck is copied from a           clear-label tape onto the grey label type, it will give      false readings well beyond the drive's speed tolerance. The  same is true of Megacopied or 320K tapes.     Meanwhile, if you do the Speedcheck and find adjustment is necessary, how you doer track, these are called           "flippies". One drawback of these tapes is that you must     drill the guide pin holes yourself, as audio tapes do not    have them. But Megacopy has many useful tricks, including    making shorter or longer tapes, and where format problems    have occurred will make a blank tape usable again after a    crash. Data recovery, however, is not possible.     Syd later found out how to generate the ADAM format     from scratch, without copying, but the machine to do it was may even     have to move the connecting cables aside to find it. Try     adjusting in half-turn increments; as you get close you'll   find very small adjustments can produce big swings. To get   at this you must, of course, turn off the machine, open the  top of the console, unscrew the two hold-down and rear       ground screws, and lift out the offending drive, at least as far as the connectors will let you. This screwing out,       adjusting, screwing in, checking, screwing out again,        adjusting frogram. If you don't have it yet, you can   get it from the club public domain library. Run it and see   where your drive is at. If it's beyond the bounds of         tolerance, take your precision screwdriver to the adjustment screw and adjust the speed back to the appropriate level.     There is a tricky point here. The original from which   your Speedcheck was copied must be a clear-label Loran, and  it must be copied on to a clear-label Loran. Loran were the  actual manufacturers of all the tapes sold you to copy the electronic ADAM tape format from a Coleco    original to an ordinary commercial audio tape. He called it  Megacopy. If you used a Smartbasic or blank data tape as     your original, you got the regular centre directory format.  If you used a Buck Rogers original, you got a right          directory tape. He also had provision to produce, in effect, two separate 128K tapes on one cassette, each of the two     tracks having its own directory. As they must be reversed to use a program on the inn it will depend on the version of    the tape drive you have. On some you can see the tiny        adjustment screw through the vents in the top towards the    right as you face the machine. Smart people always           disconnect any electrical appliance, such as a computer,     before sticking (and risking dropping) a conductive metal    screwdriver blade inside. For the dumb ones, the more        commonly found tape drive has the speed adjustment screw     buried in the bottom vents near the centre; you  very elaborate and expensive. There was not enough of a      market in Canada to support such a machine, but Ed Jenkins   of E&T Software bought one and used it to produce 320K       tapes. These are the same length as the regular ADAM tapes,  but the blocks are crowded more closely toghether. That      means that, given a tape drive running at factory speed, the blocks go by 6% faster, which is beyond the DDD speed        tolerance. Thus read or write errors can occur. Of course,   if your DDD has slowed es     down the tape as it is filled, and keeps score of how many   blocks are in use. That is why a "blank" 256K tape reports   253K free when the catalog command is used in Basic.     You can see all of these things, and modify them, using programs such as Utility Dump or JKL Utilities, available in the MTAG public domain collection. This can lead to some     very interesting discoveries. For example, reading the       directory with either utility will disclose system files     (e.g. BASICPGM) which are    fact that he has to redesign his ciruit bord anyway.         Megacopy Mark IV should be available fairly soon.     What makes the Loran tapes so much more expensive than  regular audio tapes? They're structurally quite different.   The tape itself is on a base formulated to take the strains  imposed by the fast speeds and sharp reversals of the DDD.   The coating is made for digital, not analogue recording,     with extra dropout resistance. The hardware and rollers are  upgraded. The case is made ofirectory, but merely conceals it, it means   that once that space has been used it is "gone forever".     That is why you can have a tape that has 36 files of 1K each on it report "no more room" though a catalog command in      Basic shows "217 blocks free". It's also why a tape with 36  deleted files would show a blank directory when "get" is     used in Smartwriter, but respond to "store" with "no more    room". It's not the tape that's full, it's the directory.     How do you regain use of a tape that' This is done to allow ADAM to move from the centre to the start of a program with maximum speed. It also produces  interesting results when a program runs over the divider,    e.g. uses blocks 62 - 74 inclusive.     Block zero is the "boot" block; it is where the         information lives that tells ADAM what to do with the tape   when the reset is pulled. Block one is the directory; if it  is disrupted in any way nothing on the tape can be accessed  by ordinary means. A third block called the "hole" movdown drastically, a 320K tape may     work where a regular Coleco/Loran won't. If you want one for experimental purposes, MTAG carries them in stock.     Megacopy is available from Trisyd Video, Syd's company, but not right at the moment. His regular circuit board       supplier has left the business, and finding another able to  meet the quality standards necessary has been difficult. So  Syd is in the process of totally re-doing Megacopy to        simultaneously add even more capabilities and exploit the not shown when the catalog command is used. You'll also find that when you delete a file it     doesn't really go away; its directory entry is simply        changed so it no longer responds to catalog. With the        utilities you can undelete it.     With a block reader (Utility dump or JKL) you would     find the directory has space for 39 entries, three of which  are used for the boot, directory and hole programs. This     leaves 36 usable spaces. Because a delete does not remove an entry from the d Lexan, the bulletproof plastic used in police station windows and motorcycle helmet face    shields. This is chosen to resist heat, a major source of    problems in all computers including the ADAM.     When the tape is formatted it is divided into 256       blocks of 1,024 bytes (1K) each in two tracks. Block zero is centre of the front track. (Computers start counting with    zero, not one). Blocks 1 - 63 run down to the right end,     then 64-127 towards the left. 128 to 255 are on the rear     track.s filled with dead and useless files? If you want to trash the lot, load Basic  and remove that tape. Put the useless tape in and type the   command "init" plus anything you'd like to call the tape,    e.g. "init useless". If you have two drives you can load     Basic in #1, put the dead tape in 2, and command "init       useless, d2". The "init" command, short for initialize,      wipes out the old directory and writes a new blank one in    its place. So you start filling it from new.     But suppose youn replay the reading          mechanism gets several opinions as to what the correct       answer is (yes or no; on or off) and reacts to the majority. This is really an acknowledgement that magnetic data storage media are very unstable and easily corrupted. It's also why  computer people say always make a backup.     What can corrupt the data on a tape or disc? Touching   it when you are carrying a static charge, as we usually      build up from the friction of our clothing in the winter. A  nearby light new one not     written? Bye-bye active files. Once it starts, don't suffer  a power failure.     So you bought ADAM because it's the world's best        typewriter, you save all important letters, they're only 1K  each on average, and you hate seeing the resulting 217K of   tape space wasted and inaccessible? Again, call out your JKL or similar utility package and add as many more 39-entry     pages as you think you're likely to need. A four-page        directory would then let you store 157 such letterr it. The same applies   to audio speakers, any motor-driven electrical appliance or  radiation source, even a magnetized tool. And some           deterioration will take place from untraceable causes from   radio transmission to power surges to cosmic rays. Even the  tape or disc reading heads in the ADAM drives can generate a small field from eddy currents when turned on or off; that's why you are told never to turn ADAM on or off with a storage medium in a drive.     You'll never escape the ills that iyou may hear the odd pop, hiss or slightly sour note. On video you may see a miniscule wrong-colour spot, a tiny   flicker, or little sparkle on the screen. This means that    the tape was exposed to a condition that generated a         miniscule magnetic field, and as a result one little grain   of metal on the tape had its magnetic charge changed. This   is very common; it is why the new digital audio tapes        "oversample"; what they are really doing is recording the    same datum many times so that o have 31 obsolete files and five good    ones on your tape? You have two choices. One is to load the  active files one by one into ADAM, then resave them to a new tape and initialize the old. The other is to use the public  domain utility called catclear, which wipes out the original directory while storing the active entries in computer       memory, then rewites the directory with only the active      files in it. What happens if you interrupt catclear halfway  through, with the old directory gone and thening strike. Putting it anywhere near a magnet.  The trick here is that any electric motor also generates a   magnetic field, including those in ADAM's tape drives, disc  drives, and printer. The disc slot and tape compartment may  be shielded, but don't put you medium on top of or beside    the machines. If you want to know where to get a real load   of static electricity, brush your finger over the front of   your TV. It generates a beast of a magnetic field too; don't let your discs or tapes anywhere neas before   running out of room. And other than the fact that the        (original ADAM) disc drive formats each disc to only 160K,   all of the comments about space management on tape also      apply to the disc drives, and of course the directories work the same way. So, the utilities work just as well on discs   too.     Some of the demons that infest the DDD will never go    away. Tapes, like discs, are essentially magnetic storage    media. When you buy an audio tape, after a while as you      listen nfect all computers. But with the procedures and tools mentioned above you can    exocise most of the demons that infest your DDD. Treekies    tell you to "live long and prosper". ADAM says keep it       clean, keep it cool, save often and back up.on't put you medium on top of or beside    the machines. If you want to know where to get a real load   of static electricity, brush your finger over the front of   your TV. It generates a beast of a magnetic field too; don't let your discs or tapes anywhere neaing purchases. It doesn't matter whether the club's assets are   mostly in cash with low inventory, or mostly in inventory    with low cash; as long as the balance is kept the club will  be OK.     With this newsletter we've also been told we will have  some discount coupons for photo finishing to enclose.

They're meant for heavier jobs, but if Ken can  keep his costs sufficiently under control to be competitive  with our present source, he'll be invited to print MTAG for  you. Furthermore, any MTAG members who need commercial       printing - letterheads, business cards, flyers, coupons, or  similar products - could do a lot worse than give Ken a ring at 281-5496 any evening, or leave a message on his answering machine during the day. Young ort structure that keeps    the club operational. A big bank balance likely means our    datapack and/or printer ribbon stocks are running down, and  will soon have to be replaced at massive cost. That's why    the numbers go up and down in such wide swings. The main     thing to remember is that when there's a lot of money in the bank, we're about to have to renew our inventory, and that   if the bank balance looks alarmingly low, make sure there    are a number of previous entries showing supply and printr it. The same applies   to audio speakers, any motor-driven electrical appliance or  radiation source, even a magnetized tool. And some           deterioration will take place from untraceable causes from   radio transmission to power surges to cosmic rays. Even the  tape or disc reading heads in the ADAM drives can generate a small field from eddy currents when turned on or off; that's why you are told never to turn ADAM on or off with a storage medium in a drive.     You'll never escape the ills that irt of work done.     After honing his skills through courses and on-the-job  training for many years, Ken Tilley was tossed out of work   when the big Southam plant in Weston closed down. Ken isn't  hurting; he had a year's warning, a generous severance       allowance, and lots of time to seek another job. But the     other job he landed is not in printing, which is his first   love. So Ken has taken a bit of his severance package and    bought printing equipment, which for now is housed at his    home tell off the club really is. To get that number you  have to add the value of all the tapes and ribbons and       programs and hardware items and public domain media the club has in stock and paid for, and will eventually sell. It      doesn't disclose the club's massive financial obligations    either. Every time we sign up or renew a member, we incur a  debt. We're obligated to provide six newsletter issues, at a couple of bucks a pop, a place to meet, other communication  when needed, and the general suppentrepreneurs out to build a   firm base for a budding business are often very competitive  on quality, delivery, and price. It could be good business   for both parties.     Those of you who have been trying to contact Jason      Brown may have met trouble the last few days. Despite the    recession, Jason's specialty clothing business has been      growing fast enough that he needs more space. As this was    being written, Jason was preparing to vacate his present     address, but did not have the detaiill be put forth to provide articles that will be of immediate use and interest to novice or lost ADAM owners -   like the story on printer ribbons several issues back, the   Darth Vader Death Spin last issue, or the Demons of the      Digital Data Drive in this one. Some of our veteran members  will wonder why we are including such simple material, or    repeating what has appeared before. The simple answer is     that our membership has changed and our new members want to  know; the articles are inspired x	Enist for the      Toronto Star, William Burrill, printed a letter from an ADAM owner in North Bay, who wanted to know where to get some     more games. Burrill's reply wasMTAG EVENTS AND ACTIVITIESby Rich Clee     On Feb. 2nd the electronic games columnist for the      Toronto Star, William Burrill, printed a letter from an ADAM owner in North Bay, who wanted to know where to get some     more games. Burrill's reply ur newsletter is exchanged with a number of other club newsletters around the continet, and the more     general articles are also circulated through ANN. Every time an MTAG contribution is reprinted elsewhere, it enhances the reputation of the writer and his club, and assists every     ADAM owner who has access to the exchanged news. So arrive   August 1st to find yourself the hero of ADAMCON 03 - just    write the best article MTAG has ever published for the next  (May) issue. That will allow time for it S - our past     president, Brad Johnson, maintains the faith. Another was    directed by a computer store to Toronto Computes, where one  of the staff referrred him on to us. (There will be another  article about ADAM and MTAG in the April Toronto Computes).  Another saw a notice I talked Active Surplus into posting.     The result of all this is that we are acquiring new     members at a rapid rate. So, over the next several issues    there will be a subtle change in the newsletter. A special   effort wls of his new place, nor  had he yet been told what his new phone number would be. As  soon as we have the opportunity we will publish the new      information; meanwhile as soon as Jason informs us, it will  be available through the club phone number., any MTAG members who need commercial       printing - letterheads, business cards, flyers, coupons, or  similar products - could do a lot worse than give Ken a ring at 281-5496 any evening, or leave a message on his answering machine during the day. Young by things I find myself      explaining over the phone, over and over again, to           bewildered ADAMites. Our new members will want to know why   we keep running those far-out deeply technical articles by   Jim Ballantyne, Syd Carter and other advanced experts. The   simple answer to that is that most members save their        newsletters, and three or four years down the line the       articles will be very useful to them.     Another consideration everyone in the club should bear  in mind is that owas to the effect that he        thought that the ADAM was dead and gone, but if anyone know  otherwise he would be happy to set the record straight. Your president and newsletter editor both saw the article and     independently wrote to him setting the record straight quite thoroughly. He reported the information in his column of     February 16th. Your president hasn't had a quiet moment      since.     Actually, we have been getting inquiries from all over. One saw a notice about MTAG on the Abacus BBto be circulated    and the author recognized by the whole ADAM community just   in time for the convention. And for those with suspicious    minds I'll confess that right, my byline isn't on my MTAG    stories for the benefit of MTAG members, who would recognize the style anyway; it's for those who reprint it anywhere     around North America. And a lot of them do.     Why push the club so hard? Because as we all know there are thousands of ADAM owners out there who are desperately   seeking the help we is   even better than those still-marketed machines get from      their own factories.      There are lots of reasons for belonging to MTAG. Some   people just pay their membership as a sort of insurance      premium, to keep their source of supplies in existence. Some like the social aspects. Some just want to keep up with      goings-on in the ADAM world. Some like the idea of a phone   number with a voice at the end that will help when they have problems. The reasons don't matter; every reason is an   ount coupons     valid for all Computer Fairs, not just the Toronto one. If   any of you have masses of friends who would like the         brochures, call or write to Computer Fairs at the address on the brochure, and they'll be delighted to send you as many   copies as you can usefully distribute.     You'll also find in this issue an article that was      accidentally omitted from the last one, saying more about    our promotional plans and explaining the superkarket         bulletin board cards suppliecarry out the members'  wishes, and any time the majority of the members present at  any meeting say so, any or all of the executive members can  be thrown out on a simple vote. It also provides that if     anyone sees a need the club isn't meeting, and is willing to undertake to meet that need, a new executive position can be created to let the member do it. It is also worth observing, in the real world, that fulfilling the obligations of any    executive position in MTAG is a very demanding job, and if   nd hardware creators who     serve us so well can access. It keeps them encouraged and    producing for us. It allows the development of things like   the ANN projects reported elsewhere in these pages. It       allows for the super-fun times like ADAMCON to continue and  thrive. And it increases the value of your ADAM. Should you  ever find it necessary to part with your ADAM, it will bring a computer price, like an Apple II or Commodore C64, because it's easy to show support some could convincingly argue can give. The louder and longer we       shout, the easier it will be for them to find us. So we'll   be in Computer Expo at the International Centre April 19-21. We will be at all the Computer Fairs, possibly less          Burlington and Niagara which LAUGH may cover for ADAM        instead, listed on the brochure enclosed with this           newsletter. Yes, it repeats the information you got last     time, but now names the exact sites and tells how to get to  them, adds a repeat in Toronto, and has disc    indication that MTAG is doing a useful thing for someone.    And the more people who hear of us, and the more members we  can attract, the more useful things we can do for more ADAM  owners. And that's what MTAG is all about.     This isn't just the executives' job. New members may    not have seen the MTAG constitution. The details won't be    spe spelled out here - if you want a copy, ask and it will   be sent - but essentially it says that the club exists for   the members, the executive exists to d at that time. Do use them,     wherever you are. You amy find new freiends and the club may gain more members.     More members are important. The more members we have    the more the club can do for them. If MTAG were not so       large, we could not stock the supplies we do, maintain the   PD library we do, hold the number of meetings we do, or      publish the size of newsletter we do. There are other more   subtle effects. The more organized ADAM users there are, the bigger the market the software aany member feels he could do it better than the incumbent,   he would probably find the incumbent willing to resign in    his favour at the slightest hint relief might be available.  The only reason the executive has endured as long as it has  with relatively little change is that no one has been        willing to take over the burden so far - but new faces would be very welcome. If you have any ambitions, speak up and     volunteer. You don't have to wait for the elections in       October.ive exists to roup rates. So, if you do plan to      attend ADAMCON 03 and do plan to camp, please phone the club number, or drop me a letter, as soon as possible. I'll fill  you in on all the details as soon as I get a definite answer from the chosen location.     ADAMCON 03 will be fun. Many people who couldn't make   the first two ADAMCONs will be there, while most of the      regulars plan to return.

It is       certainly shaping up to be a big one.     To start with, many suppliers who were scared off byted access        highways all the way. Those using Thursday to travel would   miss only two days work, as the return Monday is August      Civic Holiday.     The organizing 463 ADAM club is offering a discount and a gift for early registration.

So look for a substantially bigger and better stocked ADAM   store and swap meet.     Look for more people too. Everyone who attended the     first two ADAMCONs appears to be happy they did, and many    are already making their plans for August 1 - 4. On a        personal note, I will be taking my trailer and camping. I've already heard from enough others with similar plans that     I've been delegated to negotiate with the campground for     adjoining spaces and gcarry out the members'  wishes, and any time the majority of the members present at  any meeting say so, any or all of the executive members can  be thrown out on a simple vote.

Some even have their money in already. In   addition, more are hearing a key question from the ADAM      community - if you aren't willing to come to ADAMCON, and    face and talk to your customers, can we really trust you at  a distance? Buyers have a lot more confidence in suppliers   they (or their frien be       there, the better the job they can do of making sure         everything is in line with what you want. You'll even have a strong influence on the program presented. If you lost the   registration information that was in your last newsletter,   phone the club number for help.     In BBS news, Terry Cairns advises that his TAPPS Music  board is now tied into the A-net of about 14 - 16 ADAM       boards around the U.S. and Canada. It means you can post a   message and have it echoed around the net  the    first place, we have had a number of complaints that replies have never been received to letters to him. Second, he makes a number of variations on the basic package, for instance    offering a choice of ADAMnet or Orphanware interfaces to     drive the units. You should have his advice on which will    best suit the way you use your ADAM. Third, if you are       contemplating buying more than one unit (e.g. two floppy     drives) he may be able to save you money by putting          everything in on. Syd Carter has lost his long-term supplier, and  has been having a very difficult time finding another who    can produce the quality he wants at a price his customers    will find acceptable. So, he has decided that since he feels Megacopy is due for a major upgrade anyway, he will sit down at his auto-CAD computer, use his board design program, and  lay out a better product that will meet his upgrade          standards and can be put on a board producible within his    cost and quality parameters. This  first ADAM hard disc, they had it set up so it could be built into the ADAM        console. This apparently is very attractive to some users.

This means that all the items that started as      parts of the Powermate package - the hard disc, floppy       discs, and serial/parallel interface package - are now       available as individual packages.     When you decide it's time you took advantage of Mark    Gordon's designs, phone him and talk to him first. Ineach weekend.      Terry points out that since he has to pay the long distance  charges on the echo, he feels justified in putting it in the pay portion of his board. Not on the A-net but apparently    carrying a good deal of ADAM material is the Hot Muddy Duck  board in Florida (904-651-8684). Sorry, we don't have the    exact location or sysop name at the moment, just a note that it's seeing a fair amount of activity from the locals.     Circuit boards are posing problems for our hardware     developerse enclosure managed by one controller board  and using one common power supply. He can't tell you what    cost saving plans are available if you don't ask. If you are planning to get one of his new standalone floppy disc        drives, consider ordering now - the current pricing is       introductory but will be increasing soon.     If you want to hear a sound you've not encountered      before from your ADAM, immediately after turning it on press the backspace key.     When Orphanware were building themeans Megacopy may be hard to come by for a while, but knowing Syd we can be sure the   new edition will be well worth waiting for.     Gary Bowser had a different problem.

(Y/N/Q):Yes!Jim, from the discussion I'vefollowed on CIS between PJ andseveral others I get the idea thatPanasonic is using someproprietary graphic algorithms inthe 24 pin printer.  I'll doubleback to check that.  That is  console.  Mine is far lesselaborate but it serves.  I put acouple of (ok, 4) rubber feet on amini muffin fan and set it on thegrillwork at the right rear of theAdam console.  It sucks the airthrough the console.  It blowsupward away from the unit.  Thatdoesn't help the tape drives but Ikeep the lid offa them and seldomuse them anyway.  I suppose if Ipu the lid back on and drilledsome holes in the plastic wall tothe right of the drives it wouldcause some air to move.
