It has a fighter pilot joystick handle with two built-in fire buttons and a 12-key keypad with two more fire buttons (exactly like Coleco's keypad).

How he coped with the exhaustion of his datapacks, with the nearest Coleco depot half a world away and unable to help. And on    and on, until he recently brought his still-running ADAM as  hand luggage back to Canada, set it up, and is running it    still. And he asks us how to solve ADAM problems!     So it was the other day that I got through the sixth    page of a letter on ANN matters and decided to save it to    disc. I duly ng the death spin. I'd read somewhere if you waited it out then did some experimenting, you could     recover all but the lost screen of text. Maybe so, but I hit every permutation and combination of keys, including the     shifted and control version of everything on the keyboard,   without result.     So, I reset ADAM and tried to call the file, and got    the message "cannot access this file". This time, though, I  could call the other files on the disc, so there was some    improvement. However, my leup file. Then ADAM scans the results    (you can seen the line indicator on the left of the screen   moving), decides all is well, and shuts off.      But sometimes, ADAM gets to the halfway point and       stops. Then the message is displayed, "cannot access this    file". What to do? The normal instinct is to immediately hit the escape key. This produces results. The message changes   to "one moment - restoring files". The computer locks up and will not respond to any key on the keyboard. The line markepin. The directory     admitted it was there; ADAM just claimed he couldn't get at  it. Was the file really there? And if so, why couldn't he    get it?     I pulled out my Smartwriter disc and booted MTAG        Utilities #1 in its place, then ran the Utility Dump         program. Then I put in the Smartwriter disc and used the     dump utility to analyse the directory. Aha! The letter entry showed blocks allocated 16, blocks used 1, bytes in last 0.  ADAM was being told the file was empty. But was it?ill remain and there will still be no response to   any keyboard input. Not only that, you'll find that every    file on your tape or disc now produces the message "cannot   access this file" when you try to call it. Don't ask how     many hours of creative sweat I've lost this way. And every   ADAM owner who uses Smartwriter much has had the same        experience.     But with my letter, I caught on quick. When ADAM balked at the halfway point, I pulled out the disc. Then I hit the  escape key, triggeripressed all the right buttons, named the file,  and pressed "store workspace". The screen changed, the in    use light on the disc drive lit up, and matters proceeded to the mid-point.     Regular users of Smartwriter, especially those with     disc drives, may have noticed how ADAM stores these files.   First the format is read in, margins and page lengths. Then  the text is read in. Then ADAM stops for a second, considers things briefly, and writes again. I suspect the second       writing may be a backtter was a lost cause - another   evening down the drain with nothing to show for it.     At this point somehow I heard Jack Leamy's familiar     chuckle somewhere in the back of my head. It bothered me.    Would Jack have quit in the face of adversity? No way. He    stops and thinks things through. And he doesn't quit. And he asks us questions! Maybe it's time we did something to       justify such faith.     So I thought. ADAM did write my file to the disc. I saw the red light on and heard the drive sr starts running through its cycle, over and over, faster and  faster, in what other ADAMites have labelled the Darth Vader Death Spin.     This presents a dilemma. If you break in the only way   possible, with a full reset, everything you've written is    history. If you don't, go and have dinner or something. Ten  or twenty minutes down the line, ADAM will get tired and     give up. You'll know because the screen will go blank in the text area and the line marker will stop spinning. But the    message w     Obviously the answer was to look at the allocated       blocks, 74 through 89. So I moved to the block read function of utility dump. Sure enough, block 74 was full of the       miscellaneous collection of hexadecimal numbers (e.g. 63 69  6C 2C 40 20 6F 72 20, etc.) that indicated a text file. So   were blocks 75 through 88, right to the end. But block 89    had the repeating 00 0E of an unwritten block. Now we were   on the trail of something interesting.     Meanwhile, I had noticed when reading blM would actually find if he looked in the blocks          involved.     I pulled out Disc Doctor, inserted my file disc, moved  into Smartwriter and pushed the store/get button. The        directory screen appeared. I moved the little arrow to the   Barry letter file, pressed the get smartkey, and held my     breath. The screen changed - "one moment - getting file". It changed back to normal; my letter was on the screen. Eagerly I paged to the end. Yes, it was bobtailed - but I remembered what the final ssported them forward to some unused space in the     header. Could it be Smartwriter is programmed to do this? Is it possible Smartwriter tried to do this with my letter to   Barry, misjudged the space, couldn't resolve the difficulty, and crashed? I don't know. There was no trace of any such    activity in block 74. But then, I suppose Smartwriter could  have tried to move the text, failed, and rewritten the       header to its original state, then lost track of where the   leftovers should go. What reallyart working on your storage medium.     Can you get the file back? I don't know. I tried and I  got lucky. But I don't know how many different ways ADAM has to mess things up, so my manouvres won't necessarily work    every time. On the other hand, maybe other programs, or the  ones I used applied differently, would bail one out of other jackpots too. Whatever you do, think of Jack Leamy and his   stories. Half a world away from any support, strictly on his own resources, he had problems and no help but hn be of    any use.     Eureaka! It reads directories. And it lets you change   them. My purchase hadn't included any documentation, but the program (from AJM Software) was so clearly menu-driven that, for my purposes, it didn't matter. I called the directory    for the Barry letter. I changed the blocks allocated to 15.  I changed the last block to 88. I changed the bytes in last  to 1024. I pressed the smartkey to write the changes to the  disc. Now the directory information corresponded to what     ADAock 74 that the first part of the block had a collection of numbers in a     repetitive pattern that went on for several lines before the start of any text. Could the answer lie here? I looked at    the first blocks of the other files stored on the disc. No,  they matched - except that in one of them, what appeared to  be a couple of sentences from the end of the letter appeared before the actual start of the text. It looked as if         Smartwriter, finding only a few blocks at the end of a file, had tranentences had been, and restoring the lost    material was no hassle. This time I would do my printout     first. And I did. And when I resaved the file, under a new   name, it went back in perfectly.     The lessons to be learned from my experience? If you're saving in Smartwriter and it locks up, pull out your tape or disc before you do anything else. Play with the keyboard and see if you can find anything that will unlock it. If not,    don't hit escape and watch the Darth Vader Death Spin; reset and st happened? I have no way to  tell.     But clearly, all but the very last small poart of my    letter was there. And I'd rather rewrite one paragraph than  six pages. So, how to get it out? Let's see - The directory  is telling ADAM lies. What happens if he's told the truth?     I remembered that with one of my ADAM purchases I had   inherited a copy of a program called Disc Doctor. I had      never looked at it, but the label said it was for fixing     directories. So. let's boot it up and see if it caimself. So   he sat back, thought, worked things out, and kept a balky    ADAM working for him for over five years. With a newsletter  and a meeting full of members every couple of weeks who know things you don't, think of the resources available to you.   And use them. At worst you'll have some fun and learn a lot. At best you'll succeed and know how to cope with the problem next time. And there are few satisfactions around that beat  solving a nagging problem for good and all. Ask Jack..................his ADAM was one of those assets that could be converted into cash to meet immediate needs.     Since that is not his name, I'll call him Joe. Anyway,  "Joe" got to talking and I got to thinking.    Oddly enough, when Joe phoned I had been reading the     Star, and had noticed an ad for a series of dedicated word   processors. Top of the line was a unit that offered 58K of   text memory with 20 phrase storage, a nine-inch, 80-column   white on black display screen, 3.5" disc drive, and mail     merge/ males tax if         applicable (GST is included in quoted club prices). If in    doubt, you may phone the club number at any reasonable hour  - there is an answering machine on line in case we're taking a shower or something and can't hear the phone. A number of  very powerful utility collections are available.     My copy of Disc Doctor is very old; I gather recent     revisions are much better, and work on tapes as they do on   discs.                                                       .............. dedicated word processor. Let's compare the features. Coleco won't tell     you, but in Smartwriter mode ADAM has about 40K of text      memory - expandable to over one megabyte, if you can ever    figure out what use you would make of it. Expanding to 104K  would cost you $39.95 plus tax.     80-column displays are nice, if you're young enough and your eyes are sharp enough.

The display is sufficiently      clear and sharp - and BIG - that even this grey-haired       retiree can, if necessary, read it without his glasses. The  $800 machine doesn't offer a choice of screen colours; if    tiny greenish-yellow letters on a sorta-black background     tire your eyes unduly or cause reading difficulties - well,  tough, that's all there is in the package.     If you wantix      printer with all its extra capabilities in switchable        typefaces and graphics printouts, and run it in parallel     with the ADAM letter quality unit. The $800 machine does not offer any flexibility - you're stuck with what you bought.     And of course ADAM has all the advantages of being a    real computer. You can run spreadsheets, play games, draw    pictures, create files, or do anything else one uses a       computer to do. In fact, if you don't like the built-in word processing prograve to go into computer mode to get  it, ADAM offers mail merge/ mail list functions either as    public domain limited programs, or as full-featured          databases offering far better performance on these functions and many extra abilities besides. Again, ADAM gives you a    choice. A weakness is the ADAM spellchecker; made for the    base machine it needs to be re-written to require and use a  64K expander to be better than the $800 machine.     The $800 machine has a tutorial disc as well as a      rgotten. I suggested that instead of offering an     ADAM, he offer the item people were looking through the      paper to buy.     I suggested an ad like this: "Word processor.           Incredibly easy to use. Unbelievably inexpensive. With extra computer capability - runs spreadshetts. Even plays games!.  Call Joe (etc.)" And since he had only the base ADAM, in     used condition, and was in a hurry to sell, I suggested he   ask $200 for it.     Was the suggested text accurate? Many of our members toWhen my daughter was still in school, she used my ADAM for all her schoolwork, without ever even   opening the manual. Everything was on the screen; nothing    needed to be memorized or looked up. The keys gave such      effective guidance she never needed to open the book.     ADAM's printer ribbons come cheap and last forever - I  think more MTAG members than not are still using the ribbon  that came with the machine originally. If you'd rather have  speed and a lower noise level, you can add a dot matr a disc drive for the ADAM, a 5.25" - 360K   will cost you $200, and a 3.5" 720K $250 in U.S. funds, plus shipping and GST. But there are those who point out that the big-time computer pros back up their disc data to tape       because it's more reliable, and suggest ADAM's built in data drives should be the storage medium of choice anyway. ADAM   gives you the option; what you see on the $800 machine is    what you get.     The dedicated machine is a word processor. But ADAM's a computer. So while you ham, you can even change it - for WordStar,   Speedywrite, or any of a number of others. On the $800       machine, no matter how ill-suited it becomes to your needs,  that's all you have or can get.     But, said Joe, I advertised my ADAM in the Buy/Sell at  a lousy $100 and didn't even get a nibble. I wasn't          surprised. I suggested to him that people did not look in    the paper to buy an ADAM. If five years ago when they were   current these buyers knew what an ADAM was, they've long     since fo manual. It needs one. Most functions are carried out by      hitting a "code" (control) key plus a letter. To master the  functions, you have to memorize these, or at least remember  where they're buried in close to 100 small-type pages. ADAM, with its dedicated function keys, lets you do the main       half-dozen functions from clearly named buttons. Then ADAM   adds the variable function keys - our Smartkeys - with their "trees" of functions, every single one as clearly marked as  the dedicated buttons.  this day only use their ADAMs as word processors, and are    delighted with them in that role. Or at most they use them   to play games. Any of them who have encountered dedicated    office word processors will tell you in a hurry how much     easier the ADAM is to learn and run. Price? I suggested      $200. To get the equivalent of the ADAM features, think six  to a dozen times that amount. And you still won't get all of ADAM's computer capabilities - try printing out an RLE       graphic or running a mor.     By the same token, they aren't without value. If        Commodore can continue selling the C64, and Apple the Apple  II, and the new producers the Geneve, the used products of   the same class have a proportional value. Hence when Joe     went to sell his ADAM, I suggested that the value was real   and he was entitled to realize it.     But, you may say, the ADAM's an orphan. Yes, Coleco's   dead and gone. But take a look at what the "adoptive         parents" have done. ADAM was made to be expan    essentially you're in distress, and expect a bargain         accordingly. Don't we all?     That's why used cars are cheaper than new cars, though  there's a scaling based on the original list price. Let's    apply this. One computer magazine recently remarked that if  cars depreciated at the rate computers do, you could buy a   1986 Cadillac for 23 cents. That is true of the heavy        business mainframes, perhaps, but not necessarily lower down the scale.     But the ADAM started out at about $1nd more is yet to come; we even in some   cases know what and who is working on it.     Parts and service? A certain time ago I saw a letter    that was none of my business. But in the context of other    things, it revealed that a certain ADAM supplier had just    bought a hefty six-figure inventory of ADAM parts and        accessories, and as a result that supplier was fully         confident of its ability to support every remaining ADAM     well into the next century. But then, anyone who saw his     a new one with printer in the under-$500 range, used     ones are going to have to sell for less.     Not only that, to a prospective buyer they won't look   that different. If he sees an Apple II with printer at say   $250 in the classifieds, that will be his standard of        comparison when he looks at a TI99/Geneve, C64 or C128,      Atari XL, Tandy TRS - or ADAM. The price of anything is      finally what the mass of buyers will pay, and no one is      going to get rich out of any 8-bit, 64K computedem from any dedicated word processor at any price. I know; I used to use a $2300 unit.     So if ADAM's such a big deal, why did I tell Joe to     settle for a lousy $200? Because anytime anyone sells        anything used, it's because it has lost its value to him.    You sell a car because it's getting cranky, or isn't fast    enough, or lacks a feature you need, or has started looking  ugly, or maybe because however much you love it, paying next week's rent is more important yet. Buyers know that      dable, and      today you can get memory expansion, disc drives, hard        drives, modems, printers and more the original designers     never dreamed of. In fact, try to find a hard drive for a    C64. There's a full range of software available.     Between public domain and commercial programs, I own    more ADAM software than I will be able to use in what        remains of my probable lifetime. And my accumulation is      tiddley beside that of the really serious users, let alone   what's available. A100, which made it  competitive at the time. But what are the competitors? A     Commodore C64 with what ADAM offers costs a great deal less  than $1100 now. So does a bare Apple II, not to mention the  even lower priced clones. Ask Gary Bowser what a Geneve      reincarnation of the TI99/4A costs now. These are all 8-bit, 64K computers that overall offer very little more or less    than the ADAM. They're about as different as the comparable  models of Ford, Chevrolet and Plymouth. Obviously if you can get snapshots at ADAMcon would figure Phil Kosowsky could say    the same, based on his basement stash. And he's just across  Lake Ontario. But we don't even have to go there; at last    reports N.E.S.A. up on Progress Ave. were still fixing       ADAMs. As if ADAMs ever broke down anyway, as if Syd and     Gary and Mike and Bob and Dave and a dozen others couldn't   usually cure such glitches as might turn up, and as if used  units weren't so easy and cheap to come by anyway that       replacing is often cheap people who develop products reach those who use their    products, that keeps ADAM alive and well, and still growing  towards the year 2000. It is your membership in your user    group that returns value to you now as you use your machine, and will add value later should you ever be forced to sell.  Stick with you ADAM User Group and encourage others to join. It's an investment that pays dividends now and capital gains later. That's a deal you can't beat.ed. And   ADAM delivers value - in spades.      puter      stores and office supply shops today. In many applications,  it offers more features and flexibility at less cost then    the competition. It has available everything its selling     immediate competitors offer and more. It's a premium product worth a premium price. Look for it and expect to get it.     The underlying message here is, of course, don't sell   your ADAM; the money you get for it will not be worth the    services you'll be losing.

MY IDEA OF RELAXATION IS:    a) Nine holes of golf.    b)     AN AFTERTHOUGHT     The article above has been concerned with the true      value of the ADAM, as a tool and as a commodity. But what    keeps your ADAM valuable as it is? The answer is clear. The  ADAM is supported - in hardware, software, service, parts,   and information. Why is it supported so strongly - because   of your user group, and all the others like it around North  America. It is this market, tied together in a               communications net, meeting together in ADAMcons, linked to  leter than fixing.     What more can a computer owner ask? There's more        hardware and software than he can use or afford even at the  bargain ADAM prices, service support, replacement parts, and through the interlinked ADAM clubs more help and information than he can ever use. And this can be demonstrated to any    potential buyer.     So this was my message to Joe, and you can decide if it applies to you.

It was an especially exciting      night because it was the 50th anniversary of the legendary Minnie Pearl as  an Opry performer.  The house was packed with Opry fans.  Backstage there   were dozens more country music legends and other well-wishers, all on hand  to celebrate this milestone at the Opry.  As I stood oG QUESTIONS, HIS/HER REACTION WOULD BE TO:     a) Smile and nod in agreement.     b) Jab me in the ribs.     c) Leave me for greener pastures. SCORING: If you answered "a" to every question, your computer is  just taking up space that could be put to better use if you       replaced it with an aquarium.

IF MY SPOUSE/SWEETHEART/BEST FRIEND READ MY ANSWERS TO     THE FOREGOINn stage in the left   wings watching the performers as they prepared to come out to that fabled   microphone with the "WSM - GRAND OLD OPRY" logo affixed to its stand, I     closely studied the procedings going on around me.  I suddenly was struck   by how much the Opry was like my ADAM computer.My ancestors lived in Middle Tennessee, in the area around Lynchberg, from  1803 until 1886, when my great-great-grandfather moved with two of his      brothers to Arkansas.  After a short stay there (could you blc have been absorbed into time, almost obscured by the explosion of today's high-tech music industry.  These people played and     sang live music.  No taped accompaniment, no synthesizers, no               super-amplified sound.  Just a microphone and an acoustic guitar and a      single spotlight.  Simple people and simple music.I walked through the "Green Room" to the dressing area.  Minnie Pearl had   just walked out of Roy Acuff's dressing roon, where at least 40 people were crowded around the mastere would sit under a big oak tree on the family dairy farm in Dallas and try out different chords while he kept  an eye on the grazing cattle.  The music he was copying was the music he    heard on the family's radio every night after dinner.  It was the music of  Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, of Hank Snow, Patsy Cline, and Roy Acuff. These were the big stars of country music.  They were the leaders. They     were young and strong and they represented the future of America.Not too many years later my Mve to be controlled by computer.  Why do so many people still hold them in such reverence?  Today's artists are young and           beautiful, with strong voices and modern sounds.  Why do people still       bother with these outdated entertainers?Then I realized, these old stars are just like my ADAM computer back home.  These people are legends.  They paved the way for the big stars of today.   They developed the sound, style, and color of country music.  There could   be no complex production until theBoys. Today's artists perform music with a power and complexity    undreamed of by those early country stars.I wished my Dad could be there as I walked around backstage at the Grand    Old Opry.  These were his people.  He passed on a few years ago, but I      thought I saw some of him in just about everyone there.  As I watched them  I thought about their past glory, when they were young and vibrant.  Their  faces have graced the covers of countless albums.  But now their            contributions to musiame them?),    they moved on to Texas, settling in the wild west about 100 miles west of   what is now downtown Ft. Worth.  Merchants and farmers by trade, they found their pleasure in music.  My Great-grandfather played the fiddle and his    son (my Grandfather) played a wonderful ragtime piano.  My Father played    guitar.  Music was a part of my family, and I guess, considering where they came from, it was only logical that their music of choice would be country.My Dad taught himself to play guitar.  H of the Opry.  She walked past Hank Snow, who      greeted her warmly; then she left the theatre through the stage door.  The  Governor of Tennessee held the door for her on the way out.I thought to myself about how remarkable it was that there was so much      interest in these performers, most of whom are now in their 60's and 70's   (Acuff, Snow, and Pearl are all 78.)  The stars of today put on shows that  require massive staging with elaborate sound and lighting systems so        complex that they haom and Dad met and married, then shortly after I joined the family.  In those early days of my youth I remember Dad        playing his guitar and singing those country songs he learned as a boy.  He also listened to, and sang, the songs of Jack Greene, Chet Atkins,          Gentleman Jim Reeves, and Little Jimmy Dickens.  These giants of country    music were the foundations of the style that country music is today.  Now   these have been replaced by the likes of Randy Travis, Hank Jr, and the     Oakridge re was first a foundation to draw from.   In the same way Coleco was an innovator, laying groundwork with the ADAM.   Now the ADAM is a legend in its own right.  I admire those flashy 586X 33mz machines with 540 meg hard drives and 16 meg of ram.  In contrast, my ADAM  is slow, and old.  It's just an old acoustic guitar and a single spotlight  on a bare stage.  But its message is simple, and it makes beautiful music!e massive staging with elaborate sound and lighting systems so        complex that they hayou will probably get more info and finally   it will say something like "ENTER YOUR HANDLE OR ID#:" If    this is your first visit,type NEW at this prompt.

So make sure you are   ready to leave before typing that OFF!   When you have properly logged on,typerompt.),either hit O for OFF or hit +. The + will log you off QUICKLY(in fact,it merely disconnects you!)with NO chance to leave feedback so be careful using    this function.    While on this first visit,you may check out the message  base area. To get there,type B at the MAIN: prompt. This     will put you in the FIRST message base,titled aptly enough   B1. There are several message areas,divided by topic. To see all areas,type L at the message base prompt. If you want to  switch areas,type the number atd first time around but is a time saver for your next     trip!  One final note on ADAM-NET boards. I must apologise to     those sysops who run them. I'm not as familiar with ADAM-NET as I am A-NET and if I've left anything out of this          description,it was NOT intentional. To those of you reading  this,please be sure to try out BOTH types of bbs's. They     each have features that are too numerous to list here.   Here we are at the end of my ramblings and I see I        haven't mentioned Compuser     Adam only boards to appear. These are extremely easy(and     fast) to use. Instead of dividing the conversation into      topic areas,they have a continuos flow of information and    one just jumps in and goes with it. The boards ARE divided   into very GENERAL topic areas such as                        TDOS/CPM,GENERAL,HARDDRIUVE etc. While A-NETs are run under  Smartbasic,ADAM-NETs are run under TDOS/CPM which allows     them to be a touch faster.(The way Smartbasic handles files  causes it to be slonear you.  I've also not related ANY info on Adam related boards.     These are generally run on OTHER computers(IBM,Mac,etc)with  space GENEROUSLY donated to us Adam users by the sysop. They are a totally different creature and should be approached    after you've done some really extensive practise. But many   Adam users DO find them usefull. Perhaps you will as well.  Thats it,my gentle readers. I hope that some where in this sketchy information,you may glean some worthwhile tidbit.

After getting  a  3" drive I  had  Mike  Karas write  the software and we were  in  the Amstrad world. Since then I have gotten an Amstrad  (it is British and made in Asia) and added a 5-1/4" disk to it.  With software I  can read  and write many CP/M disks as  well as  the  standard 360K  DOS  disk.   The Amstrad  is  not being  shiprams back and forth.By this time Elliam Associates had  come into existence and we were selling  CP/M software  and were faced with  disk  in-compatibility.  Our solution was to  get a  5-1/4"  disk controller and  plug  it into  our Tarbell CP/M 8"  machine.   We had  Mike Karas (who wrote the  original version  of  WASH)  write  some  special software  that let us format,  read  and and  write a number of the most  popular 5-1/4"  disk formats.  This  was  before Uniform. Mike Karas also wr and the ability of  mov-ing   software  from  one   machine   to another.  When we ship CP/M software  we always ship it on a disk compatible with the customers machine.In  addition  to Uniform we  have  Smart Disk  and Media Master to  provide  add-itional  disk format ability.  The  main advantage with Uniform is that the drive is  reconfigured and stays  reconfigured until  it is changed.  This means I  can run the disk in the drive just as if  it were  a  DOS disk and the  DOS  commands wdisk to another.  In  addition to Uniform I added MicroSolutions Match-point  and Matchmaker cards that let  me read and write Apple DOS and CP/M  disks as well as MAC disks with a MAC drive. We use UniDos also since it allows us to run CP/M programs on my DOS machine.   I have  not  found any CP/M  program  that will not run with Unidos.A  year  or so ago I had a call  from  a customer  who wanted me to  supply  CP/M software  on  3" disks not  3-1/2".   He explained that Sears had sold a pot rers and  sellers  were delighted  with  this turn  of events.  It meant that  instead of creating or stocking one version of a program  you  had  to  have  one  for  a Morrow, another for Kaypro, Televido and on  and  on - over  400  different  disk formats.One way to overcome this obstacle was to use  a modem and send programs and  data over  the phone lines from one  computer to  another.   You could plug  two  com-puters together with a null modem  cable (pins 2 and 3 crossed) and send progped  to  the United  States  any more  but  is  going great guns in Europe.  Software is still being written for the Amstrad.  We  just got a desktop publishing package,  while its  no Ventura Publisher it  stacks  up well  against  some of the  current  DOS packages  available  and  remember   its running in only 64K.A  couple of months ago my  floppy  disk controller  on the XT "went south" so  I now  have  a  386  using  a  CompatiCard floppy  disk controller with  all  those drives attachedote ScreenChop for the ADAM.   The program split long lines  to eliminate sideways scrolling.  We sold a bushel of them.When  I got my IBM XT compatible  I  had Don Tarbell put it together for me.   It was  a  one of a kind.  It  had  Maynard disk  controller  that  allowed  me   to handle  an 8" disk.  By the time  I  was finished  it  had 2  regular  360K  disk drives,  an AT drive, a 96tpi drive,  8" and  3-1/2" and a hard drive.  Don  ins-talled  a  rotary switch so I  could  go from  one ork  for that disk such as  COPY,  REN, DEL,  etc.  The other two  programs  are just  that  - the minute you  leave  the program  everything reverts back to  the DOS configuration.  Anyhow,  Elliam Associates, (that's  me) is  still in the CP/M software  business and  we  still do a lot of  disk  coping from  one format to another.  We copy  a lot  of CP/M to DOS right now  as  folks move  up  to a bigger,  faster  machine.  The CP/M machine they had gets passed on to  someone else who will us                                                             |

If you         recall, I mentioned in an earlier        edition that Ted had his         original  ADAM "zapped" while       living in Calgary. He had already     rebuilt the    power       supply, which was damaged by the "surge", some 4000 volts,   but his ADAM was still not working.

We also have Public  Domain Catalog ($8.50 + 2.00 S & H) that  was zapped with  a surge of exquisite               proportion during one of         Calgary's famous blizzards, with the     result the power supply had to be rebuilt. It became obvious however that other    problems were cleverly hidden in it's delicate innards and       upon occasion, it would haemorrhage, internally.\\\\The possibility of bringing it back to health appealed to me so I         purchased the "Game Board" and, as I had nothing to  lose except          possibly my sanity, I set to work. Amen develop a permanent squint.\\\\Please bear with me for now comes the fun part.\\\\I cut sixty of these wires to about four inches in length,   stripped     each end of them and armed with a VERY small       soldering iron, some   VERY fine resin core solder, and a   ten-power magnifier, I tore into     them. Even my wife was     surprised by the colourful language which was  spawned by     this exacting chore, but, either by persistence, or        through sheer orneryness, the job was finally compleever in Murphy's Law, which infers that  nothing is ever easy.    The edge connector is attached to   this board by a protruding strip,  upon   which is impaled a   total of four I. C's plus an assortment of           firecrackers    and the like. Except for this extension, the new board    was  identical to the original.\\\\I reasoned then that, if I removed the extension with it's   extraneous   junk, and then wired the edge connector           directly to the   board (as per the original) then         hole in the     back  of the case to lead the cord out, and assembled the lid.\\\\Sounds terrible, doesn't it?, but in reality it was a lot of fun and soon my eyes should be back to normal. (I can make   out shadows) The  result  was, of course, that I can now use  ADAM again and correct my  spelling   mistakes before they     appear in print.\\\\E. F. (Ted) Chapman.\\\\was  spawned by     this exacting chore, but, either by persistence, or        through sheer orneryness, the job was finally compler ribbon  cable to make the      necessary connection from the edge        connector to the board. (a la   original).\\\\A fruitless search however. So not to be outdone, I turned   to my        well-stocked junk box, a priceless possession in   any workshop, and   in no time I surfaced with a piece of    telephone cable. This cable         consists of an outer covering which conceals a very great number of  tiny wires and each   of these wires is cleverly colour-coded, which   is why  all  telephone linectually I was looking forward to the  challenge for, at my age, time  can drag a bit.\\\\To avoid confusion, and because I have no idea what the      proper names should be, I will call the "Game Board" the     "Bottom Board" and the    "Top Board" will be referred to as  the "Top" board. Not too original you must admit, but it is  a beggar's choice.\\\\I plugged the Top board into the edge connector and nothing  whatsoever   happened, which did not bother me unduly,         for I am a firm         belited.     Now, anyone  who has done a lot of soldering knows that a     "cold" solder joint is   easy to make and apparently I have   become a master at it, for when I    tested the finished        product I found no less than five of them. I   re-soldered them, plugged board "A" into board "B" and presto.\\\\One further problem. When I assembled he boards into my      case, the    power connector did not reach the side of the   case. To correct this  I  simply plugged the power cord into  the plug, cut a   everything should be just dandy.\\\\With tongue in cheek and hacksaw in hand I then removed the  extension.   Then I sawed the edge connector from the          removed strip,          keeping the part of the circuit board into  which the connector was       plugged, so that the pins would be held firmly and so (I thought)    make soldering easy. \\\r~45,80\\\K\B\A\\\\\\`13\\\\\\\\Besides a new 60 pin connector would probably cost a mint.

Formating disks is a job I very much dislike, but it's an unpleasantness I must endure if I'm to use the disk drive. That afternoon I decided to format all my      disks.  I verify each disk, so I knew it would take some time. When Iand ran the magnet back  and forth over it. I then reformated the disk, low and behold, it         formated and all 160 blocks were good.

In his article he states he uses a high powered video tape bulk    eraser to knock his disk back to reality so they can be formated with all good blocks.Not knowing what a video eraser is or what it would cost, I started       mulling over the problem of "Missing" and "Bad" disk blocks. Knowing a    magnet will erase a disk or data pack, I went back down stairs and got an old magnet I had for years. I put the disk with block 31 missing on my    desk, put a piece of clear plastic over the disk  |R  RIGHT       |D  DOWN                 |

I removed the disk and formated the next one. I was then         informed that block 107 was missing on this disk. Not caring for this job in the first place, I lost my "cool".  I shut everything down, went       upstairs and kicked the dog and growled at the wife (not really). As I was setting on the couch trying to regain my composure, I remembered the article "Disks That Just Won't Format", written by Thomas Keene o10REM "BootPic Deluxe"20REM writen by DIGITAL EXPRESS30REM presented in Nibbles & Bits40REM October 198750REM if you exit the program, you can recover your graphics51REM screen by entering the graphic command (GR,HGR,orHGR2)52REM and then entering gosub 1060053REM for example, "HGR2:GOSUB 10600:GET k$:RUN"100IF PEEK(259)<>195 GOTO 10100110LOMEM :45000:POKE 16149, 255:POKE 16150, 255:             im=PEEK(17008)115GOSUB 10400:FOR x=108*256 TO 112*256-1:POKE x, 0:NEXT120DATA 33,0,116,17,0,48,6,0,11246,211,224600DATA 17,0,15,27,122,179,32,251,5,16,234,62,159,211,224610REM (boot SmartBASIC V1.0)620DATA 58,111,253,6,1,33,10,203,205,192,252,194,231,252630DATA                                                      1,0,112,33,0,1,205,210,252,194,231,252,62,1,205,195,252640REM (correct default drive)650DATA 58,111,253,50,1,65   660REM (begin BASIC)670DATA 195,0,1680DATA -1700 st=27648: tt=0710READ mc:IF mc=-1 GOTO 730720POKE st, mc: st=st+1: tt=tt+mc:GOTO 710730IF st=27861 AND tt=23317 GOTO 10007O LEN(k$):POKE x+27634, ASC(MID$(k$, x, 1)):NEXT250FOR x=1 TO LEN(k$):POKE x+28415, ASC(MID$(k$, x, 1)):NEXT260 j$="BASICPGM"+CHR$(2)+CHR$(3)270FOR x=1 TO LEN(j$):POKE x+28425, ASC(MID$(j$, x, 1)):NEXT280 cv%=PEEK(25431):IF im=1 THEN  cv%=PEEK(18607)300DATA                                                      62,4,33,243,107,17,0,44,1,0,0,205,201,252,50,255,107,201310FOR x=28672 TO 28689:READ mc:POKE x, mc:NEXT320DATA                                                      62,4,17,243,107,33,160,253,2050?

One of the problems I have is that I would like to save paper by printing the games out in five columns instead of one.  For years I did tnate entry of the points that make up the starting position.  During testing, I decided that this was awkward, though it was the same idea I used in a COBOL version of the program.  For this program I wrote a new data entry routine using the arrow keys.  The old code is retained for those who might prefer it.  It is in lines 997 through 1130 and may be activated by changing line 40.  Instead of GOSUB 1200, make it GOSUB 1000.     For starters, try a line of 3 dots, then 4, then 5.  I was amazed at the diffram LIFE, which I wrote in January of 1991.     Life is a very old simulation game.  Although it predates computers, it has been programmed in many different languages for many different machines.  The basic idea is a simulation of population growth.  If there are not at least two members in the population, then the life dies out.  Two members will maintain themselves, while three members indicate growth.  More than that, however, cause death due to overcrowding.     In the game I check each pixel on the his by hand.  Now I type the game in one column and run CHESS5 which does the formatting for me.     I would be very surprised if anyone else has a use for a chess score conversion program, but anyone might have a need to turn a one-column list into a five-column list.  If you find this program useful, please drop me a line and tell me about it.--Joe Alford  April, 1991line 40.

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 neaƒl¹Š !‹„l¹€Œ!¦Šÿ²!‹ƒl¹Š@!‹„l¹‹ö
