Ted had suffered a system failure due to a power surge in Calgary, and had purchased some replacement printed circuit boards from me.My circumstances were slightly different. I bought a standalone ADAM, minus the upper case and with a power supply instead of a printer, from Princess Auto. Since I bought it to use as a backund we had discussed the process. Plus I had learned a little about PROMs, (Programmable Read-Only Memories), such as the 6801, from the Time-Life series on Computers.It made sense, to my limited expertise, to conclude that the fault lay in the datadrive logic circuits. I knew these must reside on the computer Logic Board, because the Colecovision or Game Board didn't need datadrive control or logic circuits. So what to do?. I decided in favour of major surgery!. I would replace the standalone logic board,up and running without my unit, which he passed back to me at a subsequent Victoria meeting.Out of pure curiosity, I decided to give the CPU a thorough test when I got it home, just in case the it had suffered damage in transit. It fired up OK in Electronic Typewriter and happily switched to SmartWRITER. So that part was still OK. But this time, I installed a datadrive and tried to "GET" a file from a datapack of old correspondence. NO LUCK. It wouldn't "GET", "SAVE" or "BOOT" from either datadrive positiboard-edge" connector, which plugs on to the rear edge of the game board. On the Expansion Module #3 logic board, although there is a similar pair of cables, they are routed through a small printed circuit board which contains some "circuit buffer" components, and the cables are not suitable for connecting the two boards in the standalone CPU, because of their length and physical layout.Obviously I had to do some modifications before I could use this "new" board. What were they?. The first thing I needed  slight understanding of the so-called "architecture" of the ADAM system, where several 6801 sub-processors serve as a support group to the main Z80 micro-chip, but which they were and how they did all that was beyond my understanding. I did know that EACH of those 6801's was "burned-in" or "pre-programmed" differently, to achieve it's particular function, and they could not therefor be interchanged. Also I had sat in Bruce Walters' room at ADAMCON 03, while he "burned" a new 68701 discdrive EPROM for me, ap to my regular use ADAMs, when I received it, I simply put the pieces together and fired it up. SmartWRITER loaded OK and so did a game cartridge, so I assumed it was A-OK, and packed it away until it was needed.Last August, Ted Underhill phoned to say he was having trouble with his CPU, with a production deadline staring him in the face, and could I help?. I surely could, and did by shipping this semi-nude CPU on the bus the same day. But, as it turned out, Ted had managed to obtain another CPU and was  that's the "bottom" board that Ted Chapman incorrectly identified as the Game Board, with one from a Expansion Module #3 CPU.Now comes the crunch that Ted discovered. Although the two board are basically identical, there are some differences. On the standalone board there are two 30 conductor, ribbon cables which connect the bottom, or logic, board to the upper, or game, board. This pair of ribbon cables starts out as 60, individually-soldered, connections on the rear of the logic board and end up in a "ons.As a further test, to try to determine the root cause of the trouble, I unhooked one of my disc drives from my regular-use system and hooked it up to the "problem" unit. It worked fine!. The CPU would "GET", "SAVE" and "BOOT" without trouble from the discdrive. And it would load a cartridge OK. From that I reasoned that the problem lay in the datadrive logic system. Great!. But what I know about the various components of that system, even if I knew which components they were, is BEANS!!!.I do have ato do was to remove the twin ribbon cables, plus the board edge connector from the "original" logic board. Then I needed to remove the twin ribbon cables, plus the accessory PC board from the "new", Expansion Module #3 board. Additionally, I found on examination, that the input jack which connects the printer/power supply to the CPU, differed between the two boards and would need to be exchanged if I was to retain the existing printer input connections.You may recall that Ted, faced with a similar situatium type desoldering tool" in operation, it consists of a small pump cylinder, with a spring-loaded plunger, which you depress to "cock" the mechanism. You use your little soldering iron to melt the solder around the connection you wish to desolder, then quickly, and I do mean QUICKLY, before the solder resets, press the Teflon tip nozzle of the pre-cocked desolderer, to the connection and press the release trigger. This allows the pump plunger to extend and create a partial vacuum in the pump cylinder. Whicleco used, appear to be made of some form of plasticized paper over thin parallel copper film conductors, with the conductors terminating in "crimp-on" solder lugs. Bear in mind that I needed to remove these lugs, as cleanly as possible, from the replacement board, so that I could, in due course, insert the transferred cables and resolder them. By cutting off the unwanted cables, I was easily able to desolder each lug separately and remove it from the replacement board, without excessive reheating and desol suitable support and overcome the unsteadiness problem. Patience and plenty of time are the real answers to success.Once I had the proper cable assembly removed from the original logic board, and had "cleaned" the excess solder out of the replacement board holes, it became an exercise in slowly, and progressively, resoldering the 60 connections, making sure I didn't miss one or make a "cold-joint". Of course, it goes without saying, that you need to make sure you have the cables the correct way around. I Radio Shack model 64-2051, 15 watt pencil soldering iron, plus my Radio Shack model 64-2098, Vacuum Desoldering Tool. No! - this isn't an ad' for Radio Shack, they happen to be the handiest source of this sort of equipment, at reasonable prices, for amateurs, such as I. If I were to try this effort again, I would buy some copper-braid, wick-type desoldering material, because I think it would be easier, when used in conjunction with the vacuum tool.For the benefit of those of you that haven't seen a "vacuon, chose to use 60 separate wires to connect the transferred board-edge connector, and voted in favour of cutting into his CPU case to permit the printer/power supply cord to be plugged in within the standalone CPU case. In my case I decided in favour of transferring everything I needed from the original board to the replacement board. Here's how I did it.First I used to pair of scissors to "excise" the twin ribbon cables plus small accessory PC board,from the "new" logic board. The ribbon cables that Coh, HOPEFULLY, draws the excess solder into the Teflon tip nozzle. From which it is automatically ejected as you recock the tool.It does work!. It's tedious and exacting. But providing you have a reasonable skill at soldering, steady hands, lots of patience and plenty of time, plus, of course, the right equipment, it can be done. Actually, my hands aren't at all steady these days, but I found that if I secured the PC board in my universal-jointed, Teflon-jawed Mini-vise, I could readily rest my elbows on adering. That took me about an hour.Next, because I wanted the transferred cable assembly to be complete and undamaged, I was forced to desolder each 30 connector cable as a unit, slowly and carefully, working from one end to the other. Remember, in this case, the cables were the important items. I didn't care if I "cooked" the printed circuit board. It's useful life was over anyway. It took me well over two hours to successfully remove this assembly, but it was finally done.To desolder, I used my trustyt is possible to hook them up in reverse. They will fit just fine, but I'm not sure if they will work OK.Actually, since both the cable lugs and the PC board holes had all been soldered before, the resoldering process was very easy. Simply a matter of ensuring that the solder lug was firmly seated in the correct hole and applying heat plus a small amount of "electronic" type solder. Do get the proper type of high grade solder if you are going to try to emulate my example. It's so much easier to use and le230, plus half an afternoon, say from 1300 to 1530, before I reached the point where I could install the modified board, in the standalone shell, and test it. My wife, Midge swears you could have heard for miles around, the shout of joy I let loose, when it all worked. FIRST TIME!. Was I relieved and pleased?. YOU BET I WAS!!!.If you want to, or need to, try this yourselves, and don't feel competent enough to do it on your own, provided we can set up a suitable time, I'll gladly help you, but it will haves a mix of beeswax and hot-glue, that Coleco favoured to ensure that various critical connectors, were mechanically secured. Both of these activities were accomplished with a great deal of care and a strong thin bladed knife used as both a lever and a cutting tool. Once the board mounted socket was removed from the replacement board, it was necessary to carefully unsolder the extended socket from the original board and resolder it to the new one.All in all, it took me most of a morning, say from 1000 to 1 you disassemble it with DU.V87 or JKL Utility or any disassembler you will find that it exists only in the directory, but the directory will not tell you where to find the actual file. And if you map the disc, you will not find it. Yet it does work and at times it performs a very useful function.There are times when running a complicated program, you may get hung up for some reason. To get going again, you must reload the file and if it is a long file with many operations, it may take an exasperatingly l to be at my place. NO CHARGE!. OK?.DAVID COBLEY.d to ensure that various critical connectors, were mechanically secured.

One was that two lugs on the socket projected through the PC board and were "heat-sealed" after installation.

KEENE.(Here is chapter fourteen in Tom Keene's lengthy and informative series on using CP/M with the ADAM. We thank Tom for providing us with this material.)There is a freaky little file that has shown up in a lot of different forms. It is a sort of mystifying program until you examine it closely. It is a COM file that has Z_E_R_O_ length. "A COM file that has no length ?" Yes. If you look for it in the directory it will tell you that it has 0 bytes. If230, plus half an afternoon, say from 1300 to 1530, before I reached the point where I could install the modified board, in the standalone shell, and test it. My wife, Midge swears you could have heard for miles around, the shout of joy I let loose, when it all worked. FIRST TIME!. Was I relieved and pleased?. YOU BET I WAS!!!.If you want to, or need to, try this yourselves, and don't feel competent enough to do it on your own, provided we can set up a suitable time, I'll gladly help you, but it will haveong time. One example is using MEX. When you run MEX, it may be configured to load a phone directory, an INIT file, a keys file and dial up a specified number as well as opening up a log file on disc. All in all this can take quite a while. Suppose you have to cancel out and restart. Here's where this crazy file comes in handy. The file goes by a number of different names, but the most common is "GO". To restart MEX you just type GO <CR>. And i_n_s_t_a_n_t_l_y_ MEX starts running. No load time at all!How of my discs. It takes up no space, so you don't lose any file space. That way it is there if you need it. It really is quite handy and I recommend it to you.  I have been asked by a number of people if there is a way to print out a CP/M text file in more than one session.There are times, when a file is extremely long, that it would be desirable to print part of it now and the rest later. An example of this might be encountered after a long session of downloading messages on COMPUSERVE. This could easily bSM is 3K in length. PUT.PRN is 5K in length but the final PUT.COM is 0K (zero K).Sounds impossible, doesn't it.  But the easy way to create a GO.COM file is one that I have been using for a couple of years and I never thought much about it, because I have used this technique so many times for somewhat different reasons. The procedure is this:     A> SAVE 0 GO.COM <CR>This creates a file with nothing in it called GO.COM. The explanation is quite simple. When files are loaded, they are loaded into the Tte all that stuff you have already printed?Fortunately not!.There is a little bit of technique required to manage this, but it is easy to master. It involves the dreaded ED COM file that came with your CP/M 2.2. I'll go through the procedure step-by step so you may refer back to this like a cook book the next time you need to do it.As an example, let's call the file that we want to print TEST.TXT And suppose that it is 100K long, really big. The reason for this assumption is to make it necessary to usat file is the last COM file that we executed. In this case it is MEX.COM. It therefore does not have to be loaded from the disc, because it is already lodged in the TPA and will be executed immediately.It is interesting to note that later versions of CP/M such as CP/M plus and ZCPR have the GO.COM file built in. No big deal because you can add this little feature to your CP/M by the technique I described above. You might give it a try. I never know when I might want to use it, so I usually put it on all do you get GO.COM? Can it be copied or "pipped" from one disc to another? Yes it can be copied and it can be created a couple of ways. One procedure is to start with a file written in assembly code called GO.ASM This you assemble with ASM.COM to get GO.HEX and GO.PRN. Next you LOAD GO.HEX to get GO.COM which is the final product. I have seen the same file under the name of PUT.ASM and I have used it to get the same results as with GO.COM. The GO.ASM file is not zero length. In fact it is 2K in length. PUT.Ae a 50K to 80K file. Or maybe you downloaded a directory of files from GENIE or one of the Data Libraries on Compuserve. These might easily be over 100K long. Sure you can sit there and print it all out. But once in a while something happens right in the middle of the printout. Not infrequently I have bumped a key on the keyboard that hangs up the printout. I mean it stops dead!What if this happens after you have managed to print about 50K of a file? Do you have to start all over at square one and duplicaPA at 0100H. BOOT is located at the very lowest section of the system at 0000H. The system parameters are located between 0000H and 0100H. The GO.COM is lodged at the very base of the TPA. When a command file (like MEX.COM) is executed it is first loaded into the TPA starting at 0100H. If we do not do anything to remove it, it stays there until some other COM file is executed. By calling up the GO file which is located at the base of the TPA, ADAM goes immediately to the TPA to execute the file there and the multiple loading of the ED buffer which only holds about 13000 characters at a time. The number of equivalent lines depends on the line length but that is about 600 to 700 lines of tight text.. For a simple case, let's first assume that you managed to type about 400 lines of text, when the power failed.  You can use your CP/M utility disc with ED.COM on it by putting that disc on Drive:A and the file to be printed on Drive:B. They can be on the same drive, but that wouldn't usually be the situation. So wican delete those first 387 lines with this command:     *B387K <CR>Better yet, use the following command:     *B387K10T <CR>The first command above will kill (delete) 387 lines of text starting at the beginning of the file. The B puts the pointer at the beginning and the 387K then kills the next 387 lines. The second command does that also but it will then print 10 lines of text on the screen starting with line 388. The only thing is, the lines will now be automatically renumbered and line 388 is noompt which will look like this:     1*At this point the buffer has been filled and you can go to work on that part of the text. First you need to find the place in the file where you stopped printing. This involves a little searching. After a little practice you can make a pretty close  educated guess as to how many lines were printed. You can even use a ruler and count them fairly closely. But you really don't have to do this. You can just start dumping the text until you see the last line typed. It ma identical to the one we used to first fill the buffer.We could start printing, but it would show the line numbers and we wouldn't want that.As I mentioned above, the text in the buffer has been renumbered and the printing will begin with line number one (formerly line 388 in the original text). So first we get rid of the line numbers by this command:     *-V <CR>The -V command removes the line numbers. You can return the line numbers with a V <CR> command. If you want all of the printout to go to ton and then the entire buffer will display on the screen. Each line will start with the line number of that line. This makes it easy to identify the line of text you are looking for. As you see it scrolling up the screen and you spot the line you want, hit control S (^S) and this will stop the scrolling. You can then examine the text and get the line number of the exact place where your printing stopped. Suppose the line was number 387. And line 388 was the first line of text that hasn't been printed.You th this arrangement your first commands would be:     A> ED B:TEST.TXT <C>The computer will go to work and the two drives interact and then the screen will present the ED prompt which is an asterisk:     *At the prompt you type #A (upper case 3) thusly:     *#A <CR>     (A may be upper or lower case)This will load into the editor buffer as much of the file as the buffer can hold (about 13000 characters). This won't be anywhere near all of the file TEST TXT. So wait until you get the next ED prw line 1. But it will print out the text that starts where you left off. OK, you could begin printing now, but here's a better suggestion.Since you have just eliminated 387 lines, you can refill the buffer and add an equivalent 387 more lines of text to that already in the buffer. It might even put all of the remaining text of the file into the buffer, and then you could finish printing it out. However for now, we will just fill up the buffer using this command:     *#A <CR>Notice that this command isy take a little longer, but not much.To dump the text you want to start at the top of the file, therefore the first letter of the command will be the letter "B" which moves the ED pointer to the beginning of the file. The next letters in the command is "#T" (T may be upper or lower case). The "#" character means "all" and the T means type. So "#T" means print all of the text in the buffer.The complete command then is:     *B#T <CR>     (the asterisk is just the prompt)There will be a small hesitatihe printer for a hardcopy then the next command is:     ^P <CR>That is just a Control P just like in CP/M. But be forewarned that when you hit the carriage return, the printer starts up and will print the first line in the printer memory. There's no way I know to thwart this, so I put a piece of paper between the printhead and the final copy paper.Just be advised that you will get one line of unwanted output when you initiate the printer. From here on, anything you type with the keyboard will be print.

                             Purpose

Question.     What do we want this program to do?

Answer.       To serve as a 'notebook' on the LOGO language. To 
              display the various LOGO primitives, to describe 
              their purpose, provide an example of their syntax, 
              and to suggest one or more examples of useage in 
              each case.

Question:     For whom is the program intended?

Answer.       For the novice LOGO user who is setting out to 
        empty buffer. Just refill as before with:     *#A <CR>The buffer will now fill up with the text that butts right up against the last line that you printed.From here on you just keep repeating the process until it has all been printed. Obviously you may stop anywhere you like, and resume later using the identical process we used here. This procedure is TRES SIMPLE and goes much faster than it takes to describe it. In fact it is almost as fast as just normal printing. There are some things that ED.COM       -   addition, editing and deletion of user written 
             procedures.

         -   the entry of notes by the user to provide reminders 
             of various aspect of the command, operation or 
             procedure under consideration.

We'll leave it at that for the moment. We don't want to get too 
complicated. The basic operation will be fairly straight forward; 
present the menu, get the user's choice, branch to it and display 
the selected LOGO primitive along with related                         THE LOGO NOTEBOOK

                        by R.H. Mitchell

We now know a thing or two about the LOGO language. Let's see if 
we can put our knowledge to work. This may take a while. Over the 
next few editions of the notebook, we're going begin building our 
tutorial.

First, some planning. It should be pointed, I suppose, that this 
is not the only means or method of going about the production of 
a software program, but it might inject some order into the 
processed by the printer,--- including the command to begin the output. That command is this:     *B#T <CR>The "B" takes the pointer to the head of the file. The "#T" commands it to print all of the remaining text in the buffer. This may or may not be the complete file. If not just turn off the printer with another control P (^P) and delete everything in the buffer with this command:     *B#K <CR>The "B" takes the pointer to the start of the file and the "#K" kills every line in the buffer. You now have an       learn more of the language.


                        General Concepts

             The program will be menu driven and will permit the 
             following functions:

         -   Viewing of each LOGO primitive as an entry on a 
             notebook page supported by accompanying syntax and 
             examples of useage.

         -   viewing of information either in sequence or by 
             primitive - ie; selective access to commands and 
             operations

   does very nicely and this is one of them.When you have finished the typing session you will want to exit the ED program leaving the TEST.TXT file intact. To accomplish this you type:     *Q <CR>You will be prompted with:     Q-(Y/N)?Your response here is Y. This will get you out of the edit process and the original file will be unchanged.Thomas J. Keeneh this command:     *B#K <CR>The "B" takes the pointer to the start of the file and the "#K" kills every line in the buffer. You now have annotes and 
instructional material.

So...let's get started.

First, the main procedure. We'll take a preliminary run at it, 
even though it will no doubt change later on. What do we want it 
to do? 

For the moment we'll look to our main procedure to set up the 
opening screen, get the user's selection, and branch to the 
appropriate procedure controlling each of the various sub 
functions. We also might want to include some elementary checking 
to prevent things from running off track if the uTCURSOR [1 22] TYPE [ADD\ ]

be presented, and on the best or most efficient means of

tape/disk drive. In fact, there's a fair amount to be considered. 
There may even be things we'd like to see in the program that we 
haven't thought about yet.

So how did you make out? Any progress on your version of the 
dreaded LOGO Tutorial?. Last issue we outlined in very basic

We now have TDOS on tape for any of those who want it. The source was Guy Cousineau, as usual quite tireless in his willingness to assist any serious Adam user.Making it wasn't easy -- Guy admits it even took him some time to figure it out. But here's the procedure.1. Find someone with a hard drive.2. Create a BOOT tape for the hard drive.3. Power down the system and unplug the AdamNet cable to the disk drives.4. Boot the tape; when the menu comes up, jump  Salzberg tapes in TDOS format. The problem that will delay the immediate addition of these programs to our library is that they are libraried in CP/M, and we have few members expert in getting them out.Oh well, Guy to the rescue again. He has also given us a new utility he wrote called MAINT. This apparently is supposed to supplant the CP/M utilities NESWEEP, NULU and similar, and allow one to library, de-library, crunch and uncrunch, copy, de-archive and generally cope with the forms into which CP/M used transfer the rest of the utilities over. In addition, since the total runs to more than 256K, I put the documentation files on a second tape. I in fact made two sets, one for each of the Monday and Saturday meeting libraries. Interestingly, members have already taken delivery of two tape TDOS sets, and a third has been requested, despite the fact that like CP/M, TDOS is not a friendly system to use from tape.I was much aided in this by a total stranger. A couple of weekends ago my phone rang, my caller for the disk. Since many of our disks are for internal consumption (library copying, newsletter, etc.) we cannot use our provincial sales tax licence when buying them, so when we do resell that tax is already paid and in the price.One theme that runs through the foregoing paragraphs is the very thoroughgoing and fundamental generosity and decency of the Adam community. Yes, we have and have had our people not so nice -- the self-righteous pirate of Pennsylvania, the dealer whose royalty statements our sofberg for his thoughtful and generous gift.Of generosity there is no end. Guy Cousineau has also sent us two of his public domain programs, a genealogy database which I heard described at AdamCon as superior to many of the commercial programs on the market, and a new trivia game. The distinction of Guy's trivia game is that it features exclusively Canadian trivia. It will be available soon to those of you who like such things (must be a lot; Trivial Pursuit was a Canadian development) likely on more of theto TDOS. Now you have a TDOS that only knows about the hard drive and tapes.5. Make a copy of 40TDOS45.COM and call it 40NOHD.COM.6. Use a block editor to change the third byte in sector three from a zero to any non-zero value.7. Run the new 40NOHD.COM to install on tape 1 -- place RAM disk after, set path to none or A0: only.8. Save the installation, which is now your tape copy.Guy did this for us and added a 40TDOS45.COM to the tape. I was then able to take the club generic TDOS installation disk anrs compress their programs to make them easier to transmit by modem. Once I learn to use it I hope to get the Genealogy and Trivia programs onto disks and tape for the MTAG library, so all members can benefit from them in a form that does not take expertise in CP/M to use. (Plug: if you're desperate, A.D.A.M Services has a couple of copies of CP/M. Anti-plug: TDOS does pretty much the same job and is public domain. On a flippy disk, it's $7.00 -- two copying fees of $3 each plus a buck (all taxes included) identifying himself as one Tom Salzberg. It seems Mr. Salzberg had an Adam till last September, when he donated it (thoughtfully with full instructions on how to contact MTAG) to a garage sale. Then early this year he discovered a whole pile of used Loran tapes he had left behind. He couldn't trace the buyer of his Adam, so he donated them to us. The tapes have been re-initialized, and of course will be kept by the club, not resold. The first four now carry the club copies of tape TDOS. MTAG thanks Mr. Salztware producers find suspiciously skimpy, the executives neglectful of their clubs, the members who complain constantly, contribute nothing, and come only to make contacts for pirated programs. But these exceptions stand out by their very rarity.Think instead of the dozens and hundreds of people we know who have given so selflessly and so long of their time and effort. Guy Cousineau and his long-time confederate Tony Morehen have spent the last eight years making live easier for Adam users, pouring out anghout the ASG. Professional? Try to find a spelling or grammatical error anywhere; study the layout, the organization, the content varied enough for all the specialists yet simple enough for even the least adept users. You'll find few commercial compilations as artfully accomplished as this monument to the free and willing gifts of time and talent.Look at our producers of software and hardware. A great deal of Adam commercial software sells for little more than the price of a public domain copy plus mediuter, works as chairman of the expert panel and special advisor for ANN, is Ron Mitchell. Since he took over an existing club, he had it easier than B. David Cobley, who so to speak came out of nowhere about three years ago to build an active and flourishing club on Vancouver Island; his contributions parallel Ron Mitchell's, with his ANN contribution his special expertise in forming and solidifying new Adam user groups.There's always Barry Wilson, the founder of ANN, whose web of correspondence ties all to many other Adam software and hardware developers.Think seriously -- have you ever met, or even heard of, any other hobbyists supported so freely and generously by their fellows, giving up their free time and leisure for so little return? Fortunately, we do have a chance once a year to say thanks, with our Adam Gallery of Honour nominations. I know I am going to have a very hard time winnowing out my most deserving three!The Gallery of Honour inductees will be announced at AdamCon 04 in Cleveland in Juinancial feasibility, content and suggested writers. Barry postally arm-twisted every one of the three dozen or so contributors. But notice all of them came through, and there were even more who, though willing, couldn't be accommodated. Mel Ostler, a professional writer familiar with specialist publishing, undertook the editing as a labour of love. Try to imagine the work in converting copy produced in SmartWriter, Speedywrite, Showoff, VDE266 and a bunch of other formats to the Wordstar text uniform throu endless stream of software culminating in the triumph of TDOS, most of which they have contributed to the public domain. (By comparison, take a look at what Microsoft with MS-DOS or Digital Research with DR-DOS charge for their operating systems). Yes, they do have some commercial programs too -- A.D.A.M Services hopes to offer them shortly -- but even these are sold for little more than the price of the media and mailing.Of course the guy who keeps their club together, writes and publishes their newsletm. Yet out of this price must come the writer's return, the media, shipping, and the dealers markup; all the costs of letting you know it exists and getting it to you. Yet Bruce Walters ``-X'' series -- COPX, FORMAX, EDIX, SmartWriters Helper sell for $10 U.S. or, with exchange and GST, $12.50 here. How much is anyone making out of this? Yet it doesn't stop Bruce from not only creating the work in the first place but spending more on upgrading, correspondence and support -- just like his brother James and she Adam clubs together. His organizational network, tied together with a constant flow of correspondence that must be supporting the U.S. post office single-handed, provides the constant flow of goodies and support that has the owners of Apple IIs and C-64s, both still coming out of the factories, envying the help Adam owners have at their fingertips.Goodwill? Look at the Adam Survival Guide. It was Barry's original idea. In the early going it was MTAG, AUFG, VISA and a few U.S. clubs that helped decide fly. You may note a little conflict here -- the official announcement, if Neil sees fit to reprint it as is, says AdamCon IV. But this old grouch is feeling ugly. The tradition has been to number AdamCons in computer style -- 01, 02, 03. Current, modern, and appropriate to the centre of interest. To this sorehead, Roman numerals are for gladiatorial games with overinflated ideas of their own importance -- like SuperBowls. That ain't us Adam folks -- I hope. I can't twist his arm -- Neil is not only bigger thpe drives should be running in the slow half of the speed tolerance range, and some people claim they are better used under EOS/Basic than CP/M/TDOS. But for the writers with long files to store they could be well worth looking into.In telecommunications, Terry Cairns has now apparently achieved his life's ambition: he has his Adam board up and running with all the files he can cram into it. He has a new hard drive and, he claims, hundreds of files available for downloading -- including, for those of you nd doubt the fault in your Adam lies in the game board you might give them a try. The top board in the standalone Adam console is identical to the Colecovision board. Also, while any announcement is premature, one of our younger members with training in electronics is doing some fiddling about with his own units with an eye to learning the skills to help us all.We have added a new product to the club supply roster. With the new interfaces available, more and more members are talking of dot matrix printersson (a past president) still welcomes Adam users to his Abacus BBS. Brad is a member of Fidonet so Jack is trying to talk him into adding the Adam echo, which is already widely used by other Adam clubs around the continent. I gather from other club reports it would cost him about a dollar a month for the added long distance charges; perhaps MTAG should offer a subsidy.Communication is important. Members attending meetings will recall our members passed a motion granting a request from certain LAUGH memberlock-calendar chip for the Adam. It has a battery backup and plugs in to a normally vacant socket on the bottom board of your Adam, between the SmartWriter EPROMs. It comes with software and documentation Jack Leamy describes as ``cryptic.'' The price is $37.04 GST included, rounding of to $40. after Bob takes his bite.We still have a more than adequate stock of the 320K datapacks. The price is quite attractive at $4.17/$4.50 each, a definite saving from the Lorans. There are a couple of cautions; your taan me, he's younger and in rather better shape -- but the presidential position is that around MTAG, the next AdamCon will be 04. And we'll hope to last long enough to see 0F roll around. And be there too.Repairs continue to be a problem for Adam. But there's some hope around. Ron West reports he took his machine into NESA a while back (24 Progress Ave., Scarborough) and found the service good and prices reasonable. The Microplay shops still repair Colecovisions for a flat rate of $29, so if you know beyoaddicted to picking up Colecovisions at garage sales, game documents. He says he already has the biggest Adam BBS going, in terms of available files and programs, and is working frantically to upgrade it all the time. Since he just got it up January 1st and still has some finishing touches to add, I haven't had a chance to check it out, but members of our Monday meeting crowd reported themselves very impressed. Jack Leamy says some Adam files are starting to appear on Gary Bowser's TI Tower, while Brad John. But the costs for the Radio Shack cable required is a bit high -- $15.58 plus GST and PST for a total of $17.92. However, we have found a source so that MTAG can offer them for $12.04 GST included ($13 after PST). We have nine now and are pretty optimistic about our ability to find a few more, but if there is definitely a dot matrix printer in your future you may want to grab off one of these to be sure to get the price break.Don't forget also that MTAG has the remaining world's supply of Syd Carter's cs that we write to their mailing list to see if there was any interest in reviving LAUGH. I regret to report that outside of one phone call from someone left off the mailing list, there has been no response to date. Perhaps if none of the LAUGH members see fit to revive their own club, they will choose to join ours. The door is wide open. Too many good people are giving too much to keep Adam alive to let it fade away from general user apathy. We have a terrific thing going. Let's keep it that way.Brad Johnon, they thought it would overrun the anticipated cost to publish and they had to pare some material out of it just to keep within budget. I hope it was material that was inferior to some that was published. Please don't get me wrong.

Oh, Boy! It's finally arrived! Last month Richard passed out the copies of ``The Official Adam Survival Guide'' to those of us present who had ordered them. It was with great anticipation that I received it. I could hard wait to get home and see what was in it. Being an avid reader, I started at the beginning of The Guide, so as not to miss all the wonderful nuggets of information it contained.Right from the beginning, I felt like there was something wrong, and about an hour inton, they thought it would overrun the anticipated cost to publish and they had to pare some material out of it just to keep within budget. I hope it was material that was inferior to some that was published. Please don't get me wrong. I appreciate the time and effort that it took to put this Guide together, the knowledge that the contributors have shared with us eager neophytes, even the efforts of those who contributed more paper than information.To sum up, I do not think this is a quality product, and radable. I for one find it tough sledding. Over the last month, I have read about half of the ASG. As with any book of this sort, I have found some good items, helpful hints and tips, and (if one can read the names and addresses of the people and companies listed, especially the postal codes and zip codes) possibly good contacts.I have found the ASG is like a stew. It has some meat, lots of potatoes, but a little too much gravy. Richard told us that when it was being assembled, they had so much documentatison (a past president) still welcomes Adam users to his Abacus BBS.

Members attending meetings will recall our members passed a motion granting a request from certain LAUGH memberates a low five on a one to ten scale. I still must congratulate all the people who put this together for a lot of hard work and effort. It had to be a momentous job, seeing it covered the North American continent.

These old eyes, even with trifocals, were so sore (or maybe because) that I had to stop reading and put the book down for another day.This disappointed me, not that I found the contents of the ASG so enthralling, but because I found the print so hard to read, and there were holes in the printing in the bottom left corner of the pages. This made for some tough reading to try to understand what one was reading.

I'll be writing a regular column in the Telecommunications Workshop and we'll be covering everything from A to Z that has to do with modems and BBS's. I am the sysop of North America's largest Adam BBS, The TAPPS Music/Adam Central Supersystem. Now for my first article and the easiest (as any writer would tell you), is to write about what's going on in my home base. It'raphic files, etc. You name it and you'll find it on the BBS and if it isn't on the BBS, then it will be within hours (providing what is asked for is PD and has been released). Users can also take advantage of our MAIL OUT SYSTEM for a nominal fee. Within days of opening, Adam Central is already developing the reputation and nickname of Adam CompuServe as the services available, like IN-HOME SHOPPING, match those of Compuserve but Adam Central is exclusively for Adam. All you need is a modem and then you S or CP/M or TDOS file? What if that user group was a BBS? What if that BBS allowed In-Home Shopping? Hmmmm ... makes you think doesn't it? Well, it's now here!As you read this, local callers have already discovered the most comprehensive and informative BBS in the history of the Adam. The BBS is Adam Central and it is a BBS within a BBS called TAPPS Music BBS. Confusing? It isn't really. When a caller calls the TAPPS Music BBS, they go through the log-on process like any other BBS. But when that caller h with their modem. In the future, kids will be taking their school classes at home over their modems (more on this in future issues).So a computer without a modem is like a TV without cable. Very limited operation but never reaching it's full potential. I highly recommend the buying of Micro Innovations MIB2 interface, if you don't have a serial interface already, as this interface allows for future expansion to your computer. Also as far as modems, I recommend nothing less than 2400 baud, as 300 baud is  North America. It currently has 65 on-line games to play, with plans to extend that to over 100 games in the near future. The message bases cover a wide variety of topics like Hardware & Software updates, CP/M & TDOS info, an Adam BUY & SELL, etc. The text file area carries the latest from ANN, catalogs from almost all Adam dealers, cartridge docs, CP/M docs, Hardware docs, etc. The program download areas (currently over 72 areas) include games like Star Trek, utilities like assemblers and disassemblers, gs just by coincidence that what's going on at my home base is also the biggest thing happening in the BBS world.Imagine a user group that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. What if that user group could supply you with whatever program you needed to get the job done, at any hour of the day? What if that user group allowed you a chance to talk to experts and other Adamites all over North America? What if that user group could supply any Doc file, for any problem you have, for any PD EOcan be a member of Adam Central. A BBS that promises to be The Adam BBS of the 1990's. If you don't have a modem yet then don't you think it's about time you got one. I mean with any computer you own, everybody will sooner or later need a modem and external modems are interchangeable between computers so it doesn't matter if you intend to upgrade to another computer. People are now banking, shopping, bringing home work from the office, and tuning into the stock market, all from the convenience of their homeits the Main Prompt of the TAPPS BBS, a simple typing of ``AC'' will take the caller to another BBS. The caller is now in the Adam Central BBS. 23 message basesThe TAPPS Music/Adam Central SUPERSYSTEM has 23 message bases and over 60 Megabytes of program and text files for downloading (another 65 megabytes will be added soon). That's thousands upon thousands of informative text files and ready to run programs. It has the Adam ECHO base which allows it's users to communicate with other Adam users all overDEAD (more on this in future issues), and 1200 baud is following suit. Besides when calling long distance, you'll want to get on and do your business and then get off as quick as possible to save money. Take it from me, if you don't have a modem then you on a raft in the Pacific Ocean with nowhere to go. More articles comingIn future articles we'll cover the things like: The Quest for Speed, Ruling the world from your home, Term Programs, Top BBS's, and we'll even have some contests like Adam Central hasLEASE NOTE THE NEW ADDRESS (effective March 31, 1992)B.

This is the direct result of the efforts of a small group of people, who from the very start were not ds of contributions to the public domain, such as the EZ series of utilities, still form the indispensable core of support for any EOS programming. He has also been a generous guide and support to many other key producers. JOHN LINGREL did for high-tech hardware what Swift did for software. He established Orphanware, the designer and first producer of big memory expanders, high-capacity disc drive conversions, interfaces and hard discs. Without his leadership, ADAM would not enjoy the high standard of newthat the number of inductees in any given year should be restricted. For 1991 the number decided upon was ten, though there are many times that many who are deserving. Then it was felt priority should be given to the long-term pioneers, so the requirement was added that a nominee had to have been active on the full international ADAM scene for at least 36 consecutive months in order to be considered. Finally, it was felt the choices should be made by soliciting votes from all ADAM owners who could be contac supported the newer MicroInnovations products. Without Tony and Guy, our new hardware would not exist. LYLE MARSCHAND is founder and owner of NIAD. Need anything more be said? The most active orphan computer forum on Compuserve is still said to be the ADAM section. Before the ANN was established it was the information centre of the ADAM community, and remains a key support still. ROB FRIEDMAN, as the long-term sysop, was honoured for this contribution to ADAM's survival. Those who only recognize PATR for his choice explained in our last newsletter, no further comment will be added here. SOL SWIFT is an erratic genius who has let many ADAM users down. But his failures fade before his achievements, including the creation of the complex of graphics programs centred around Powerpaint, the unfinished but usable GoBASIC, and all the titles issued under the Digital Express and Phoenix 2000 labels. He was the publisher of Nibbles & Bits, the most durable and esteemed of technical ADAM newsletters. His hundrewilling to accept Coleco's decision, and set about keeping the ADAM a living, thriving entity. Thus about a year and a half ago, it was decided that it was time someone said thanks to those who have done so much for all of us for so long, and the ADAM News Network was commissioned at ADAMCON 02 to carry out the task. The committee quickly came to several decisions. First, it was decided that ADAM has a future, and the award should therefore be an ongoing thing. This being the case, it next became obvious  hardware support we take for granted today. TONY MOREHEN and GUY COUSINEAU worked as a team in Ottawa from ADAM's first days. It may be hard to separate their contributions. But blame Tony mostly for TDOS (Guy only kicked in about 20% of it, if you don't count around 850 hours of testing, debugging, improving and modifying) while such classic EOS items as File Manager and Disc Doctor perhaps owe more to Guy. They also contributed fundamental software to allow John Lingrel's devices to work, and have alsoted (through their clubs, newsletters, Vulcan's, etc.), with the largest number of votes prevailing, subject only to mild editing for rule violations, tie-breaking, and related concerns. This program was carried out, and the results announced as scheduled at ADAMCON 03.The First Inductees The following are, in no particular order, the first inductees into the ADAM Gallery of Honour, and some of the reasons they were nominated.

We made ouMTAG: Meet realityby Rich CleeIn the rush of events prior to the deadline for the last issue of MTAG Express it was not possible to give you the complete story behind my decision to found A.D.A.M. Services, my planned methods of operation, and my vision of the proper relationship to the club. It is time that these matters were clearly spelled out, with the club deciding what they are prepared to support and why.It is now five years since the membership saw fit to choose me as president of MTAG.

We have been major contributors to the success of the Adam News Network; ours was the very first reply to the original proposal, contributions from our newsletter are among those most widely reprinted, and we undertook the production and distribution of the Canadian edition of the Adam Survival Guide, with rather greater contributions to the overall project than are generally known. In shope with returns through U.S. Customs, then Canadian Customs again on the make-good, should things go wrong. They don't like paying surcharges on credit card purchases, or having to go to the bank or post office to buy money orders, at a service fee plus less than generous rate of exchange. They will junk their Adams before they will go through this sort of inconvenience. You and I may know how to cope with these things easily and comfortably; they do not know and do not want to know.MTAG has been a keyM to guess, I'd estimate at least 80% of our current membership list. Why did they join? because they then found the club was their open door to other needs -- advice, information, hardware, software, repairs, the comradeship of others sharing similar interests. In one word: access.Let's get real. They aren't making any more Adams. They haven't for eight years. The numbers are dwindling. There are no longer enough around to support a general market. When the support structure goes, the last Adams will go wrs than the rest of the membership of MTAG combined, this is an absolute necessity for which there is no acceptable substitute.Thus when Ken told me of his decision in November I saw only two possible choices: take no action, and put Adam activity in Canada into a quick and irreversible decline, or find someone to take over the operation and thus keep Adam viable for a few more years yet.While the first choice was unacceptable to me, and I had every reason to believe to the membership of MTAG, there was a newfound need. But they will not make any effort to sustain it. If they cannot get what they want when they want -- here, now and conveniently -- another Adam is on its way to, at best, Goodwill.And here, now means in Toronto or at worst Canada. They don't like mail order at the best of times. They do not trust foreign mail order, where they don't even know which authority to complain to should a problem arise. They don't want to cope with Customs on an incoming shipment, and especially don't want to cort, I feel we have done rather well, and have a community record in which we may take just pride.What did it?What allowed us to transform a dying, splinter club to the vigorous and potent operation we have today? If I had to choose one single factor, I suggest it would be our decision to stock Adam supplies, most especially datapacks and printer ribbons.Why this? Ask around of your fellow members. How many of them first got in touch with MTAG because they needed one or another of these items? If I hadTAG has been a key to keeping these people active. And Hans Mayer remains around for special requirements. But to move people from purely sustaining themselves, a process which sooner or later will lose its interest and create another derelict Adam, to expanding the utility of the machine to them and thus vastly increase their probability of joining our ranks, there must be a full-line, regular price, Canadian based dealer. In my observation, and I suspect I can claim more contact with more general Adam useith it. However much we enjoy our Adams, however useful they remain to us, without support we are finished.In a practical sense, in Canada, the support structure went in November when Ken Batcher closed down his Adam Distribution and Marketing. Whether we like it or not, the basic fact is that the majority of Adam users are casual users. They like the machine, they'll continue to use it, maybe even now and then expand their use if presented with a game or program that they particularly like or which meets nothing the club could do about it. MTAG can sustain its own supply activities; indeed it even profits from them. But it does not have and could never get the several thousand dollars, let alone the staff and time and general support facilities (warehousing, tax auditing, other record keeping, telephone attendance, correspondence, etc., etc.) fundamental to doing the job. We could only look elsewhere. I looked, hard. So did Ken. More casually, so did a few other concerned people. We looked, but we didn't fhip out the blue book, and they read addresses in Illinois and Texas and Virginia and New Jersey, and suddenly the interest is gone and they go away muttering ``oh, they don't have anything. You can't get that stuff here.'' And a few months later, instead of MTAG gaining a new member, another Adam goes down the tubes.MTAG lives on giving access. MTAG is not giving satisfactory access. MTAG cannot give satisfactory access without the cooperation of A.D.A.M. Services. That is why A.D.A.M. expects MTAG's ful I expect this? Because I do not believe MTAG members have any real choice. As the largest concerted group of active Adam users in Canada, our members will be the first to lose the most if Adam fades away. Conversely, as the most active buyers, they have the most to gain from having a way to get their desired purchases hand delivered to them at any meeting, paid for by Canadian cash or personal cheque (no exchange, no money orders), with first recourse this side of the border if things go wrong, and all of ost extensive mailing list. The business is quite capable of surviving without the club. It just wouldn't be fun and satisfying. In short, it would just be a job, and I don't want a job. I want to keep enough Adams going to keep mine safe.Working togetherGiven that the survival of MTAG is closely related to the success of A.D.A.M. Services, and that A.D.A.M. Services must look to MTAG as its largest single market, how may the two parties work together for their greatest mutual benefit? Let's look at the ited suggestions on maintenance and repair.But there it stops, and it hurts. Come with me, as many of you have done, to a Computerfest or Computer Expo or Computer Fair. Watch the people, Adam owners or their friends especially, stop and talk with us. Yes, Adam's great, they like it, and oh boy, here's a reliable source for tapes and ribbons. Now where can we get some of these games, and they'd kinda like to try some graphics because adding a dot matrix printer is an appealing idea anyway, and ... So we wind.A choice to defend AdamFaced with this choice, I decided I wanted to defend my Adam. I am not willing to lose the use of it; it is too useful to me and my family. And there is not a viable substitute in sight. If this meant buying up Ken's remaining stock, and resurrecting the business in my own way and under my own name, so be it. So the decision was made and the deal was done.I made this decision in the full expectation of complete and wholehearted support from the entire MTAG membership. Why didl and generous support. It's a matter of MTAG's success and likely survival.For those who are curious, the reverse isn't true. NIAD, Adam's House, E&T Software, Adam-Link of Utah, Digital Express and M. W. Ruth, among others, survived for years as dealers supplementing their activities with newsletter sales, creating a club atmosphere without accepting club-type obligations. A number of them still do. I trust by this time no one doubts my ability to write, edit and produce a newsletter. I already have a mthis at a slightly lower delivered price (despite the Ontario sales tax) than it would cost them to go through all the hassle of ordering from the U.S.How MTAG survivesBut beyond all this, it is the survival of the club that is most enhanced. MTAG survives by providing access. We provide access to information, through our meetings and our newsletter. We provide more through our participation in the Adam News Network. We provide access to supplies through the items we can afford to stock. We can offer limorganizational relationships first.A.D.A.M. Services' policies will be set to the benefit of MTAG. The company, except under certain specialized circumstances, will not offer products from which MTAG derives significant revenue, such as the current PD software, printer ribbons, data packs, print wheels, hardware by members (such as Syd Carter or Gary Bowser, unless prices are so high MTAG cannot afford to stock them) or software (such as Jason Brown's LSD, and hopefully coming titles) by members. In addithave agreed to provide this as soon as possible. I will also, within practical limits, try to keep it up to date as possible. I will also, however, try to keep this listing in such a format that I will be able to run a hundred printed copies or so to give to MTAG for inclusion in newsletter mailings. I may not be able to produce an up-to-date availability list for every issue, but will try to satisfy our membership needs as well as I can (and can afford to).In all of this, all of my experience says that are appropriate, i.e. where the addressee is not a member, and no increase in postal costs will result.Complementary interestsI have never asked the club for reimbursement of expenses -- from answering long-distance calls from prospective members, to covering the cost of gas to computer exhibits, to other associated expenses. This has sometimes meant a lost opportunity, an out-of-town show chance passed up, or similar minor omission. But with two complementary interests to advance, this picture may changeave agreed to provide this as soon as possible. I will also, within practical limits, try to keep it up to date as possible.

This has been done for two reasons. First, our members are intensely interested in what Adam products are available and have shown a strong desire for this service; second, outsiders do see our newsletter with great regularity, and it helps impress them with the great range of support available for their Adams.For similar reasons, Terry Cairns has been after me hot and heavy for an A.D.A.M. Services product list, which he feels will be a significant asset on his new greatly expanded Adam BBS. I ion, attractive new opportunities, such as the discount printer cables, will be passed on to the club where appropriate.The company will, however, include all of these items in its regular product listings, with the notation that should the buyer choose he may include a separate order and separate payment to MTAG with any A.D.A.M. Services order, and have both filled at the same time. The opportunity will also be provided for membership literature from MTAG to be included in A.D.A.M. Services mailings when adequate degree of success for A.D.A.M. Services is crucial to MTAG's medium to long term survival. There must be a Canadian supplier meeting certain standards, and no one else is in sight or likely to appear. In the same way, the best chance for a healthy and prosperous A.D.A.M. Services is to be found in the vigorous continuation and growth of MTAG. Good faith and generous support between the two parties are the only hope for the successful continuation of Adam activities in Canada in the years to come. somewhat, to MTAG's benefit. It is likely to show first in the Computer Fair schedule for this spring; they are talking of showing in certain places I know to be fertile ground for new membership growth, but which would require an overnight stay to attend. A joint effort may allow these opportunities to be utilized.We have always used our newsletter as a showcase, for member items (Syd Carter, Gary Bowser, Jason Brown) and outsider catalogues (most recently, Micro Innovations and Norm Castro's Norman's Rby Don Malinowski, MTAGIn this article, I will try to explain to you how to make my blank audio tape formatter. I think that almost anybody can build it because it's so simple. First, I would like to give you a little background on myself, to give you an idea of how I got involved with Adam and why.In December of 1987, I got my first Adam in kit form as a Christmas gift. Since this was a kit, it was right up my alley. I have always been an electronic tinkerer, and the Adam kit seemed like a great way to re drives I had bought from my local Princess Auto Store, and I made my tape formatter unit using some spare parts and a few other components. (We'll get to those.) After construction, I tested the unit. What do you know? It worked! I originally thought there might be a market for this unit, but with the cost of tape drives and the existing MegaCopy unit, I thought maybe not.After writing a letter to Richard Clee introducing myself, Rich suggested that I write an article explaining my formatter. This way  at the response that I got and all the great stuff available.Megacopy for saleI was lucky to have found an ad in our local newspaper from a guy selling software. I was very interested in his MegaCopy tape formatter. He would format tapes for me and my friend and help us with any problems. Shortly after this, he decided to sell off all of his Adam stuff, because he had bought an Amiga. I tried to come up with enough cash to buy everything I could, but by the time I got to him, he had sold some things to lors if desired)3  -  SPST switches (toggle or whatever)1  -  DPDT switch (same)3  -  100 ohm resistors (1/4 watt)1  -  Adam power supply or ColecoVision supply1  -  9 pin `D' type male connector1  -  case (if desired)1  -  PC board (3"x 1")-  misc. wiresCritical drive adjustments  The first and most important thing to remember is to use identical types of drives, whether old type or new. Other drives will do, but best results are achieved this way. The next most important thing is to have both oy Walkman and my home tape deck. It didn't work bad, but it took an hour to do just one tape. There had to be a better way!!!THERE WAS!! One of the things I had bought from the guy who sold out his Adam, was a Technical Manual of some 400 pages. I found out, looking through this manual, how the power and information is supplied to the Adam tape drives. I thought about things for a while. Why couldn't I hook the drives together and make a dubbing unit? WHY NOT??Spare drives and other partsI took the spalearn more about computers.I had to make a wooden box for the circuit boards since it came without a case. The construction of the case and the assembly of the Adam into the box was time consuming, but I felt that it was well worth it. After I was able to get a SmartBasic tape, I began to try my hand at programming. I was impressed with the Adam's abilities. A friend of mine had some issues of Family Computing and I wrote to all the Adam companies that I found in the classified ads. I was really surprisedSyd Carter and the Adam community could judge it for themselves. I meant to write an article about it eventually, but I was busy this summer. I recently heard about Syd no longer making the MegaCopy unit. This convinced me to write this article.Now, I will finally enlighten you on my design. The unit itself requires few parts, and can be constructed with only limited soldering abilities.The parts required are:2  -  Adam tape drives2  -  9 pin connectors2  -  8 pin connectors3  -  LEDs (different coother people, including the MegaCopy unit. I did buy a disk drive and some of his disks and tapes, so I didn't feel too bad.I had many programs that I had bought and I wanted to have blanks around for back-ups and for files. Even though I had the disk drive, I still had a lot on tape. I thought that I might be able to copy a blank tape on my conventional tape deck, to use on my Adam. Even though I had heard about the Adam tapes being hard to copy, I gave it a try anyway. I tried to copy some tapes using mf the drives' speeds checked and adjusted to match each other as close as possible. Again, this is critical to receive best results. I used the public domain speed checker program to check my drives. The closer the speeds match, the greater the copied tape's compatibility with other Adam drives.The accompanying diagram shows the simplicity of the formatter. The motion indicators and the power indicator are not necessary and can be left out, if desired, along with their resistors. The tape drive connectors takes about 6 minutes and requires little attention. You may have noticed, while doing the forward pass, extra tape left over on the blank audio cassette when the Adam original had already run out. This is because the audio cassette uses more tape than the standard Adam Digital Data Pack requires and this is normal.Now, once the drives have stopped, you can remove the tape and check the format on your Adam. It is an exact duplicate of your original and since it was copied on the same type of drive that nupplyWhere pin 1 connects, use pin 3 insteadWhere pin 2 connects, use pin 3 insteadWhere pin 3 connects, use pin 1 insteadWhere pin 5 connects, use pin 4 instead Once you have decided on the way you want to construct your formatter, you can use any kind of box or whatever to mount the components in. I used an old clock radio case to put mine in, as you can see in the photo.Operation of the formatter is very simple. The blank original tape is inserted in the read only tape drive. Using the reverse sw drive writes, if you want to be able to do this without opening the unit each time. The formatter can also be adapted to operate using the drives while they are still in your Adam, but this modification is much more involved.I have many modification plans for the formatter. One of them is a test point to hook up an oscilloscope to, to monitor the format's waveform. Another is a speaker to hear the format, if desired. The unit described here is as simple as needed to format tapes. I have plans for all thein the read drive gets to the end, quickly flip the direction to the reverse. Do this as quickly as possible, to keep the format lined up to start on side 2 close to where it finished on side 1.The forward pass will format one track or side, while the reverse pass will format on the second track or side. If the speed of the drives is properly aligned, and you reversed the tape drives quickly enough, the tapes should come back to the beginning at the same time.That's all there is to formatting a tape. It, C1 (9 pin) and C2 (8 pin) are mounted on a small pc board and all wiring between the connectors is made there. I got my male connectors for C1 & C2 from a surplus grab bag, but I have seen them in the ACTIVE Electronics catalog. They also sell the `D' connector.You can use your Adam's power supply to power the unit as shown in the diagram, or if you happen to have a ColecoVision power supply around that isn't being used, you can use it instead. The pins can be used thus:Adam supply `D' conn. /  Game sormally saves your data, it is a better format than any high speed dubbing unit could make and it takes one fifth of the time.The unit that I made is fairly crude but it works great! It is completely manual, but with not much effort and modification, it can be made automatic. By using a latching relay or relay and latching circuit, the motion sensors can be used to reverse both drives at the end of one side to copy the other side.Also, by adding another switch, you can select which drive reads and whichitch and the speed switch, the tape can be rewound to the beginning when the start switch is activated.CAUTION!: Use a slower speed when getting closer to the start of the tape.First, the blank tape must have the two holes made in the back of it, of course. Once the blank tape is prepared, put it into the write only drive and make sure it is rewound too. Set the speed switch to slow and the direction to forward. Then start both drives at the same time and let the read tape run to the end. When the tape  above mentioned modifications, but due to a lack of time and with a desire to keep the plans simple, I decided to leave them out of this article.If you would like to have the plans for any of the above mentioned modifications, write to me and maybe I can write another article or I can write back to you personally, if you send me a self-addressed stamped envelope.Well, I hope you enjoy building your own formatter. I would be interested in any comments about this article or, if you build a formatter, drodown the paper bail (the one with the rubber rollers on it) by stretching a couple of 3" rubber bands around the printer cover, which you'll have to remove first, replace, then pull the ends up to go on the ends of the bail.

I've been usis is the basic shape: ========================= |                         ||                         ||                         |2. Clothes Peg To help stop your paper from skewing sideways, just insert the bottom ends of the two separated halves from a clothes peg into the two slots also found on the housing which are about 2" or 3" below the above-mentioned holes. I believe the holes and the slots are intended for the tractor feed.3. Rubber Bands To help the paper feed through straight, tighten p me a line and let me know how you like it. Maybe even send me a picture of it. I would really like that.'Til next time ...Write to Don at Box 296, Gillam, MB  R0B0L0 or phone 204-652-2580ification is much more involved.I have many modification plans for the formatter. One of them is a test point to hook up an oscilloscope to, to monitor the format's waveform. Another is a speaker to hear the format, if desired. The unit described here is as simple as needed to format tapes. I have plans for all theing the tubes to store extension cords and never thought about any other use. Thanks go to Dean Roades for this one!5. Ribbon/Tape Rewinders I met someone who had purchased an audio cassette rewinder from Radio Shack, but so far I have not been able to find one, either in the stores on in their catalogue. The ribbon rewinder was purchased from one of the suppliers, but the user could not remember which one.If you have any questions about these, please call me at 444-5356. The Adam Survival Guide is in t hanger. The Guide gives the dimensions, but essentially it is a bar about 1" high with the ends fitted into the two holes on the housing, found, one on each side, just above the roller. the one I saw had a narrow cardboard tube about 1/2" in diameter around the width of the paper guide, but the Guide does not include this. I was late to the session and am not sure whether the paper goes over the paper guide, in which case the cardboard roller would make sense, or whether the paper goes under it. Anyway, thby Ron West, MTAGWell it's another Saturday and tonight is MTAG club night. What have you been doing with your Adam since last meeting?T.A.P.P.S. BBSI started to look at BBSing. Not that this is something I have never done before but I decided to try the T.A.P.P.s BBS (phone 416-741-2432) again and see what it has to offer. For the price (free) who can complain? There is an open forum for general communications, there are forums for Buy & Sell, Adam users, Apple, Atari, IBM, Commodore, also for Jokes & P/M programs between the 2 units but so far no joy, (so much for superior intellect) even using Modem7 & Madam7, Mex, Xmodem, etc. I am still working on this.If anyone would like to try this unit out I will lend it out but I would like a $20 refundable deposit on it. I will also explain how you can make one of your own if you speak to me about it.t and let you know what I think of it in future editions.Staying with MODEMS I have 2 computers: my Adam and an Apple ][. There have been times when I would ll hour of time on line. To the new user or beginner to BBSing this is heaven as it gives one time to acclimatize and look around, try to find how to work the board and see what interests them also you have access to other Adamites if you have some problems and would like to find out before next meeting how to resolve them. There is an alterior motive for this in that promoting this board the more Adamites that use it the more knowledge that is available to be shared within the Adam community.Take a look alike to keep track of What programs that I have and Where  I can get them from.  I also included an ADJust column if you want to make any changes.     S CABLE 2:  This is for my tractor feed cards to list my Cable TV viewing It fits in the TV Guide.  I have older TVs that are NOT Cable Ready and I am   using both a Radio Shack as well as a International Block Converter.  IF your  old TV is hooked up to cable WITHOUT their box it is not capable of receiving  any channel above 13.  These convert signals aboike to transfer programs between the two machines but not having a 232C Port for my Adam I could not link the 2 together. I reasoned that if they could be joined over a phone line by modem then why not just eliminate the phone line. With my superior intellect and amazing technical skills I devised a hookup to join the 2 modems. It requires a modem for both computers and programs for each. When hooked up and both programs are run I can communicate ASCII programs or screen to screen. I am trying to transfer CGames. I have not explored all of the forums on this free portion of this board but I must say there is a lot there for most BBSers. I have made a few contacts with other Adamites on it and in general find it useful and interesting.There is also a paying portion to this BBS that allows messages to be sent to BBSers throughout the Continent plus access to other forums.One of the real good features of this board is that Terry Cairns (I hope I spelt his name right) who runs this board allows the user a fulxOesigned by me and as long as you give me credit are Public Domain.Norman R.

TowerAs I mentioned in the minutes of last month's meeting, Gary Bowser runs the T.I. Tower BBS (phone 416-921-2731). I briefly went on it for the first time mainly to leave Gary a message though I did not spend much time on it to look around. I liked what I saw and will try to spend some time on it and let you know what I think of it in future editions.Staying with MODEMS I have 2 computers: my Adam and an Apple ][. There have been times when I would lve channel 13 to UHF which are now on channels 32 to 36 and 51 thru 72.  Now all of my older TVs can be used  for any channel that is NOT scrambled.  You can get the scrambled picture with sound if you want to.  The FOR column is for the channel number YOU want.  The SIGN is CBS etc while the USE column tells you which UHF channel you have to   tune in to.  BASIC SERVICE is used for the longer names like the Family        Channel etc.  I could not do without this tool.     S CALNDR01:  This came from 463     COMMENTS             |RUN|ADJ|  |- - - - |- - |- - - - - - |- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |- -|- -|  |        |    |            |                                  |   |   |  |- - - - |- - |- - - - - - |- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |- -|- -|  |        |    |            |                                  |   |   |  |- - - - |- - |- - - - - - |- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |- -|- -|  |        |    |            |                                  |   |   |  |- - - - |- - |- - - - - - |- - S FREQCY 3:  You can write in and try out 50 different frequencies in     this two column form.
