Code the Book Number value as you like. You could use a sequential number, an alpha- numeric code to distinguish hardback books from paper backs, a coding system to identify location by room, shelf and position, or a combination of all these examples. The file building routine is lines 1000 1300. Note that the file building routine allows you to add records after a file is loaded into memory from digi- tal data pack.  When inputing the date purchased, you musDAM.THE GINGERBREAD CAPER is meant to show you how a story can be set up to make different choices result in different events. The program itself is programmed in the linear method because- you move through the story in a straight line - most of the time, It takes up a lot of room for~the few decisions and small amount of action it provides. However, it is a very good style to use if you are just starting to program ad ventures.Note that lines 180-320 draw the cute hi-res title screen for the program usoutines do not require the entire title or subject. Each routine compares the title or suject to the ieftjnost characters entered. After the first records to meet the criteria is displayed, the program prompts for another search argument. If you press [[RETURN] the program uses the previous argument to search through the remainder of the file for another match.Lines 480-700 saves the book inventory on digital data pack. When a Book Number equals End the routine ends.Lines 710-980 loads a book inventory y of congress number, date bought, and the approximate value of the book.The program does not edit each field for the suggested maximum length. The more characters you use, however, the faster you will use up your available memory. Lines 110 and 130 clear the variables and dimension the fields for at least fifty books. However, you can store 100 or more books on your present ADAM system, and more than 200 when the 64K Memory Expansion becomes available.The key to the book inventory file is the book numbONNECTION November 1984                           Page 4Show your friends that your ADAM is also a weather reporter!                                                  Program: CAPER                                                    ENTERTAINMENTIn THE GINGERBREAD CAPER you join Hansel and Gretel who, as always, are lost in the forest, Your decisions take the story to the end.

The other two search ring simple mathematical functions such as SINE and COSINE. The eyes and nose are drawn using the DRAW, SCALE, and ROT commands.                                              Program: BOOKMASTER                                                        HOME/HOBBYKeep track of your books with BOOK MASTER, a homebrew librarian.

If this routine finds a book value equal to zero or a book number equal to End the routine ends. After the file is loaded into memory. the program displays the amount of free memory available.A simple routine to total the value of all books in memory is in lines 1680-1860.Lines 1310-1670 contain the routine to change any data for a book in memory. If you enter a valid Book Number you will be prompted to enter a number for the field to be changed. After the changed data fieldhourly chime or make TIME PIECE an alarm clock if you wish.                                                   Program: BLAST                                          GRAPHIC/SOUND TECHNIQUEWe thought that we would end the first issue of THE ADAM CONNECTION with a blast, so the last program in this issue is BLAST!The program should draw random lines on the screen while making the noise of a firecracker going through the air.We here at International Computing hope that you enjoyed the first issue ofl data pack.Note that at any main menu or prompt, you can press [ESCAPE/WP] to exit the program. After doing so, you will be prompted to save the file to digital data pack if you haven't done so. If you have, press [ESCAPE/WP] again to end the program.If you should run into a SYNTAX ERROR, 1/0 ERRORS, or exit the program by mistake. you can type [GOTO 140] to re-enter the pro- gram without losing any entered data.We hope that you find BOOK MASTER useful, and that you learn a few programming techniqueshere in this newsletter companion for THE ADAM CONNECTION.Do you have any programs that you have written for the ADAM?

Execute command 13 and you will swing around getting a chance to use your rear torpons you wish to fight. You may choose to fight 1 to 5 at one time. After this is established you will be prompted for a command. To enter a command you must enter two numbers, the first number is the option, or action you want to take, the second is which Klingon ship to use the option against.

Your power is measured in "Stroms"  which is supplied by two dilithium crystals and impulse power. The Primary crystal has a 20 Strom load capacity, the secondaffy 10 stroms and impulse power 2 stroms. You can (and probably will) overload any of these. You will be informed of an overload if this occurs. However, if you overload the impulse power the Enterprises will be destroyed.To play, you will be asked how many Klingedos. Options I, 2, and 5 will fire regardless of the position of the enemy ships. Option 11 activates the cloaking device (yes, this Enterprise has one) - Use this option sparingly as it consumes a lot of energy. While the cloaking device is activated the Klingons will not fire on you un-less you attempt to use the warp drive or fire at them, givi ng away your position.  Option 12,  of course turns off that device. For warp drive, use opt ion 7.

SmartBASIC was like that, too.       Regards, Dave        ---us have been able to come up with an explanation. Yeah, let's hear it for the DOSbox! I also tried installing another IDE hard disc that had been working fine, although the vendor (well known to me) had FDISKed it to remove confidential information. With this, I not only got "Hard disc controller failure" on POST, but when I booted from floppy and  typed c: got the message "Invalid drive". Yes, the cable's OK, I got the drive specs by 'net from the maker's URL and entered them in the CMOS properly. Darn macnt and still be an attractive proposition. Let's compare some of the stuff you were complaining about and see. I/O - we still wouldn't be using datapacks. Adam advanced to the point under Coleco where you could buy disc drives. Mark Gordon proved you could upgrade the disc drives to current state of the art - 360K, 720K, 1.44M, and probably would have made 1.2M available too if there had been any demand. And Adam will support a hard disc.  When I plug more than one disc drive into my Adam, I have to configuon was usually obvious and the solution straight- forward. Yeah, let's hear it for the DOSbox!  Can't use the Adam on the Internet?   Ron does - it's his backup when the nice modern system decides to get the sulks. Sure there are limitations.  Adam has an internal serial bus that runs at 19.2kb - the same as my 386 and 486 and maybe K6, and Frances' Amiga 3000.   Adam faded before anyone had got around to working out how to get the screen to keep up. But had Adam had the production lifetime of some others, k the hard disc out of it because it was a SCSI and I wanted to use the controller card in my K6 166MMX. So I put in an IDE, reconfigured the CMOS, and when I turned it on it wouldn't boot.  To get into it I had to use a floppy system disc - still do. Once I/m booted I can type c: and win and use the hard disc, but that ain't the way it's supposed to work, and it ain't the way it was working when it was pulled out of my daughter's computer to be replaced with a larger disc I gave her.  So far none of my gur-------------------------------------------------------------To: sands@nanaimo.ark.com From: Frances &/or Richard Clee <cleechez@tamcotec.com> Subject: what's going on?Aw come on, Dave; the Adam days weren't that bad. The first product built by the Henry Ford Co. didn't do much for the founder, but the company has been around ever since and still prospers mightily under its new name.  Especially in the computer industry, if an idea is good to start with and folks will stick with it, it can be kept currehine knows there's something there, because it sniffs around on boot - I can see the hard disc light winking. Adam never gave me hassles like this!  Then there's the 486 on which I've done nothing. I upgraded the video card in the 386 and moved the old card to the 486. Guess what? The same monitor, switched bet- ween the machines, won't produce a picture. So of course I can't even get to the point where I get on-screen messages to tell me what's wrong. If I ever failed to get a picture on the Adam, the reasre the cables in a certain way. I am told I can daisy-chain up to 16 in certain circumstances. All just plug and play. My IBMs seem to assume that I'll really only want one floppy but will grudgingly allow me a second provided I plug it into the right place on the cable. Depending on model, I may have to buy a separate disc controller for the IBM too. Mark set up the Adam hard disc again more or less as plug and play, although it did require a boot prom or boot disc. Now if only my 386 were so simple! I toowant to bet someone wouldn't have found a way to, for example, upgrade the video chip and use a TIGA screen that could hack it? Adam's own modem was plug and play, so effectively was  my Sydmodem (1200) and I gather that either the MicroInnovations or Orphanware srials ports will allow external modems to 19.2, the limitation being screen failure. Wasn't Dale Wick in fact using an Adam at 14.4 on the 'net at Adamcon 07? So Adam kept saying "cannot access this file". Hey, that's why Tony and Guy wrote File Ma to use, too.   Reliability? the jury is still out; my Adam has performed faultlessly for 15 years; I have no clue how long the DOSbox will last but I'm not optimistic. In terms of real work I can and do do anything serious on the Adam - word processing, databasing, and spreadsheeting. (Yes, Frances still makes up the income tax template for use with Adamcalc every year, and uses it, and makes it available as PD). It meets my modest needs and is more comfortable and reliable. The DOSboxes are toys.    Glorik down what the message refers to? I could learn to deal with most Adam software problems, at least in BASIC, fairly quickly and easily.  On the DOSboxes or Amiga, there isn't even a clue as to where to start, and unless I'm willing to invest four years in an engineering degree, nothing I'm going to understand anyway. I think Bill Gates is a malevolent sorcerer who keeps DOSboxes going by magic. And crashes them every time he gets the hiccups.But getting down to the real point - every once in a while I do caters to her fascination with graphics. We don't use them as tools.  In the latest issue of Road & Track, Peter Egan tells the story of a new car that suddenly wouldn't go. The diagnosis was easy - Peter's a vehicle builder/restorer himself, he was in a group of seven with over 200 collective years of mechanical experience among them, and it was just a matter of there being no spark. But finding the root of the trouble, and getting the car going again, took the combined efforts of his crew, a local garageen, and keeps them current? Sure beats a keyboard overlay! It doesn't take all eternity to boot and become useful - I can boot the Adam, get into the word processing program (hey, BUILT IN!), type out the address for an envelope, print it out and exit in the time it takes the DOSbox to get to the c: prompt. And I don't have to ask Adam's permission to shut it down, either. I use the dedicated function keys a lot more on Adam than their equivalents on the DOSbox. The keyboard is smaller and at least as comfynager and Disc Doctor. The point is, guys like Tony and Guy could and did write programs like that, and sell them at a pitifuly low price, and even a putzer like me could understand and use them.  But what the heck am I  supposed to make of "General Protection Fault in Winsock.dll at 0845:CD36", with a notice that I can either close the program on my own or ignore the message in which case the program will crash. What did I do wrong, if anything? Is the same thing going to happen again?  (Yes) How do I tracous toys - I love cruising the 'net (Adam could cope with e-mail and probably chat if pushed, but the DOS programs have evolved to be more functional in today's terms) and playing the odd game and generally fiddling about. The current DOSbox is an unbelievable bargain and one I hope to live long enough to really seriously exploit - consider- ing the powers built in, that means I'd like to outlive  Methusulah. It just does so much so cheaply I'm unable to resist it. But it's a toy, like Frances' Amiga, which stop rambling and do so. Adam was pretty well state of the art of its time.  Presumably had Coleco not been so bloody-minded greedy and generally incompetent, it would have continued to advance. Maybe there would have been Zilog Z88 and Z86 and Z286 and Z386 and Z486 and Z586 CPUs developed too, and fitted to it. But that was not to be.  But - Adam still has probably the best implementation of the Xerox PARC interface yet. What DOS programs show the values of the variable function keys right up on the scre, a second garage with tens of thousands of dollars of diagnostic equipment, the company's zone office, two hauls on flatbed trucks, three days and a $1000 part.   As Adamcon habitues know, I turn up driving a 1973 car. It's old and crude with many design deficiencies and deprives me of the benefits of a quarter-century of really meaningful automotive technological progress. A carburetor, for heaven's sake. Drum rear brakes, and no ABS.   Little standard square headlights with historic halogen design that srds, no protocals, no multi- layered topology API systems, no DLL or anyother tweaked out memory interface.  Just you, machine, and a lots of asm code. truely computers today have be come like are metropoltan cities, big, bustling, and cluttered... It's really nice to be able to turn to the ADAM on the weekends...it's like going to the ole' fishing hole in the rural outback.   Also keep in mind all week long I program fortran on controller computers for a oil company .....to me any system that isn't connecte-eye balled, and find the part to fix it cheap and fast. And if it goes bang in a bad place, it can be plain towed (what a concept!) Do I need to enlarge on this?Maybe, Dave, you did have some uncomfortable experiences with the Adam. And maybe you've got a DOSbox that has never given you any kind of hassle.

I 'm sure you and all the others will be pleased to know that I now have the 386 up and running. I just went at it t'other night, got the new moon over my left shoulder at the witching hour, hit did some early playing around with the Coleco modem and found he could actually convert it to a 19.2 kbaud serial port, though he never did anything about it. There is no doubt that had Coleco had any sense, the Adam would today be quite capable of running General Motors (that's the Adam Mark 87, of course) and Zilog rather than Intel would be getting hassled by the Attorney General.

I am told I can daisy-chain up to 16 in certain circumstances. All just plug and play. My IBMs seem to assume that I'll really only want one floppy but will grudgingly allow me a second provided I plug it into the right place on the cable. Depending on model, I may have to buy a separate disc controller for the IBM too. Mark set up the Adam hard disc again more or less as plug and play, although it did require a boot prom or boot disc. Now if only my 386 were so simple! I toodropped. For instance, there are actually some prototypes of their parallel interface card in the possession of former employees. There apparently was some sort of language adapter - I've been promised a French-language Adam by a friend in Montreal so I'll be interested to look inside. The bus connector on the right-hand side was exploited by a number of third-party manufacturers for add-ons (notably Orphanware) but I'm sure Coleco put it there with more in mind than conecting the Atari adapter. Syd Carter the right recipe (eye of newt, tongue of toad...) and chanted the William Gates mantra in proper form...(I think that's how all those techies get the damned things to run, isn't it?) I still haven't any certain idea what the trouble was or what I did to set it right. But I gave up on trying to make Pamela's old drive boot and instead put in an F-disc'd 326 meg. When I booted from A and gave the command "format c:" I got the error message "Incorrect DOS version". So with nothing to lose, I put in the MS-DOS therefore it is better"   In its time, in my view, the Adam was good working towards great.  In this time it's as outclassed as a Morgan in a WSC race. But I am still willing to maintain that if the philosophy embodied in the Adam had been maintained, and applied to further developments in computers as the tech- nology progressed, our mainstream machine today would be a much more satisfactory tool to use than my current 166MMX. To which all of our Macintosh buddies will doubtless add a hearty "amen" - Richus have been able to come up with an explanation. Yeah, let's hear it for the DOSbox! I also tried installing another IDE hard disc that had been working fine, although the vendor (well known to me) had FDISKed it to remove confidential information. With this, I not only got "Hard disc controller failure" on POST, but when I booted from floppy and  typed c: got the message "Invalid drive". Yes, the cable's OK, I got the drive specs by 'net from the maker's URL and entered them in the CMOS properly.

Interesting to note that there is a website!  I recall reading about the original group that left INTEL to start ZILOG...maybe they wish they had stayed.   At the time they left INTEL and began the production of the Z80, they were purported to bAM's JOYSTICKS come with the ferrite "magnets" around the cable to reduce interference.

If you have more advanced knowledge of electronics, you may won was usually obvious and the solution straight- forward. Yeah, let's hear it for the DOSbox!  Can't use the Adam on the Internet?   Ron does - it's his backup when the nice modern system decides to get the sulks. Sure there are limitations.  Adam has an internal serial bus that runs at 19.2kb - the same as my 386 and 486 and maybe K6, and Frances' Amiga 3000.   Adam faded before anyone had got around to working out how to get the screen to keep up. But had Adam had the production lifetime of some others, mportant to learn as much about the problem if you want to identify the solution correctly.The best place to start is with the obvious. In the case of when the unit just doesn't power on, for example. Do you have the unit's power supply plugged in? How about the connections to the TV; are they good? A lot of times you can find a problem simply by making sure all your connections are good. Once you've checked the obvious, then you can move onto... Physical damage. What constitutes physical damage? Most oer shielding on the lefthand side, or on some ColecoVisions and ADAMs, inside the shielding directly to the RF modulator case). Remove RF shielding and remove the cover from the RF modulator (a small silver box at the top of the board about 2"x1").  Inspect the RCA connector's solder joints. Chances are that the joints have fatigued and need to be re- soldered to restore the picture. Reassemble and test.Symptoms - Incorrect text or flashing blocks, blocks where there shouldn'tbe blocks, flickery pixels at"wiggle" test,that is wiggling the suspect cable close to the conn- ection points torestore proper working order, or if you have another known good cable, try that one in the place of the suspected bad one. If you have a volt-ohm meter you can check the power supply and also continuity of the RF cable. Checking joystick cables aren't impossible, but they do require taking apart the controller to test properly. A dirty power switch can cause a host of problems. Clean the power switch if you suspect that's wh above problems occur. On both the ColecoVisio and ADAM, these 8 chips are located just above the VDP in the upper righthand portion of the motherboard. These are labelled 4116-xx. Replace- ment 4116 RAM chips are available through a number of mail order electronics houses. Jameco had them for $.69US each, so they aren't prohibitively expensive. To replace you'll need some basic soldering skills and perhaps a desoldering vacuum pump (I prefer using the vacuum, but you can easily clip the chips out to replacF cable for shorts or opens with a continuity checker. If you don't have one of these, use a spare cable. Check the connections at the back of the TV and make sure that you are tuned into the correctchannel (3 or 4). Wiggle the connections close to the base of the system. If wiggling the connections helps, the problem may be in the base unit.  Remove the cover of the system, check to make sure the RF shielding grounding strap is securely connected (on the ColecoVision, this is sometimes connected to the outf the time physical damage is a wire that is "shorted," and is generally caused by a lot of cable flexing. This is most evident with the joystick controllers, or with the RF cable to the television. Usually "shorts" (mainly opens) in the cable will cause certain dir- ections on the joystick controller to malfunction, or the video will be snowy or doesn't show, or perhaps the unit doesn't get power from the power supply due to a bad power cable. To check for opens it is usually best to start by performing a  distinct intervals all over picture (not associated with RF problems, see above), sprites are staticy looking...missing pixels.The Fix - First check your cartridge to make sure that it's free of contaminants. Try another cartridge and see if the problem goes away. If not, you've got some bad video memory somewhere. There are eight Video RAM chips in the ColecoVision (16K total) that are used to generate the display. If bits flip or invert when they're not supposed to, or don't refresh correctly, etc, theere the problem lies. If all else fails, move on to the symptoms below. Just remember, start with the easy stuff first...you may save yourself a LOT of trouble! Section 2.0 - Video Problems ---------------------------------Symptom - No VideoThe Fix - Check obvious first. Check to see if the unit is connected to the power supply and plugged in. Is the power supply working? Check it with a voltmeter to see if it's outputting any voltage or the proper voltage.Symptom - Fuzzy videoThe Fix - Check Re them). If you're not a fast solderer, I would reccommend getting some 16-pin DIP sockets to solder in (instead of solder- ing the chips in directly) as heat from the iron can damage the chips (they are made to resist a certain amount of heat, but if you're not very fast at this you can damage the chips). If you've got some spare RAM chips (like me!) you can simply use a single chip and "piggyback" the good chip over each RAM chip individ- ually.

Through thick and thin, good times and bad times, and even humanities never ending struggle with MURPHY (and his ever debilitating law), ADAM was always there.  And so it was that the story of ADAM and his devotion to humanity spread far and wide, as if on the silken threads of a WEB.

They were known as 'HUMANITY'.  Their personal puzzles( called LIFE) would all have been complete, were it not for one missing piece.So it was, they were visited upon by the great god 'COLECO'.  COLECO looked down on this mass of humanity, and saw that they were lacking.   COLECO was a kind, loving(and greedy) god,f the time physical damage is a wire that is "shorted," and is generally caused by a lot of cable flexing. This is most evident with the joystick controllers, or with the RF cable to the television. Usually "shorts" (mainly opens) in the cable will cause certain dir- ections on the joystick controller to malfunction, or the video will be snowy or doesn't show, or perhaps the unit doesn't get power from the power supply due to a bad power cable. To check for opens it is usually best to start by performing a sses. Never to feel their love again. The masses were quickly overcome by feelings of bewilderment and betrayal. But soon the masses rallied back, adopted ADAM as one of their own and learned to live without COLECO.  Before long, the masses, with ADAM by their side(and on their desks), were accomplishing even more. An annual celebration was started to honor ADAM and his relation- ship with humanity, known as ADAMCON.  In time, the masses learned to build new and better tools for ADAM. Making their adoptedf the time physical damage is a wire that is "shorted," and is generally caused by a lot of cable flexing.

And the masses so loved ADAM, that they worshipped COLECO as the god he knew he was.In turn, COLECO gave the masses many tools to use with ADAM, and even more good work was accomplished.But soon, COLECO grew resentful of the masses and their love of ADAM.
