The story is quite simple:  You are the failsafe device to protect the surface world of Contra shoul                       SUSPENDED             Part One "Suspended" is an excellent game and possibly the most       advanced game to date for the adventurer. The story is quite simple:  You are the failsafe device to protect the surface  world of Contr after the 75th move.  There are many    problems that surface after that time, and these clues do    nothing to help you.   Let's get started!  #1 POET,GO TO WEATHER CONTROL #2 SENSA,GO TO SUB SUPPLY ROOM #3 WHIZ,GO TO  SECONDARY CHANNEL #4 SENSA,TAKE RAMP #5       SENSA,GO WEST #6 SENSA,TAKE CONTAINER AND GRASPER #7         SENSA,GO TO HALLWAY JUNCTION #8 WALDO,GO TO HALLWAY JUNCTION #9 AUDA,GO TO GAMMA REPAIR  The above moves set the game up. Poet is needed to turn the  weather control off; this mi  Each one          represents a different sense.  Iris:  The sense of sight Waldo: The sense of touch and      dexterity Sensa: Perceives things magnetic and electronic    Poet:  Perceives things electronic and can diagnose          electrical flows Whiz:  Commands the computer and can do     errands Auda:  The sense of hearing  The trick to winning "Suspended" is assigning the right task to the right robot.  Also, the right robot has to be at the  right place at the right time. This is called critical             Part Two Now, enter your second set of commands: #10 POET,TURN SECOND DIAL TO 100 #11 POET,GO TO HALLWAY END  #12 IRIS,GO TO MAIN SUPPLY ROOM #13 SENSA,PUT RAMP AT        DROPOFF #14 AUDA, LISTEN #15 WALDO,TAKE CONTAINER AND        GRASPER  #16 WALDO,GO TO MAIN SUPPLY #17 WALDO,INSTALL       GRASPER #18 WALDO,TAKE RED IC AND YELLOW IC #19 SENSA,GO     NORTH #20 SENSA,TAKE RAMP  Once Poet got to the Weather Control, he had to reset the    faulty control to 100.  This is only a temporary fix due to the starving         populous above; 3) At the 100th cycle, humans enter the      complex with the intent of turning you off because, by this  time, you are clearly screwing up the assignment.  These     humans can be the death of you or they can help you          by...well, I won't tell you yet.  The following commands get you through the game in less than 70 moves.  As a result, they give little aid in the event    that you finish the game in more than that time.  The game   changes considerablya should any emergency develop that would      cause the planet control devices to fail (these are          underground in a complex where you live suspended in a       cryogenic tube, awaiting a disaster). Of course, a disaster  develops as soon as you boot up the disk.  You are awakened to find that there has been an earthquake   that has damaged the cables in the Primary and Secondary     Channels.  You have six different robots at your command.  These robots all enjoy different skills and abilities.nimizes deaths at the surface    (your primary goal).  Sensa gets the ramp that is needed to  allow the robots to go from one level to another. Auda is    sent to the Gamma Repair area because she will be needed     later and, without the humans coming for a while, there is   nothing that can be done with her anyway.  Waldo is sent to  the Hallway Junction to meet Sensa and take the container    and grasper on his way to fixing Iris who is reported to be  out of order.                          SUSPENDED path  planning, and is the secret of "Suspended."  In the standard game, there are a few real-time events to be aware of:  1) At the 15th cycle, there is another earthquake which causes an acid spill that kills, in short order, any   robot that thereafter passes through the Cavernous Room      (until the acid is shut off); 2) At the 75th cycle, there is another quake which wrecks the hydroponics and transit       equipment on the surface above. These have to be fixed       quickly or the game ends swiftly because if you let the game go on too long, all hell will break      loose with various disasters and accidents occuring which    you will not be able to control.  Poet is then sent to the   Hallway End where he will be used to get the TV camera       needed later.  Iris is sent to the Main Supply Room where    she can be fixed when Waldo arrives. She will also help      Waldo repair the machine there.  Sensa, upon arriving, puts  the ramp in place so that Auda can get to Gamma Repair and   so that she andeded cables  to set the FCS in balance.  Waldo is now set on his mission  where Whiz will be waiting to install the cable needed in    the Secondary Channel.  #51 SENSA,EXAMINE OBJECT #52 SENSA,TURN FLOWSWITCH #53 BOTH  SENSA AND AUDA,MOVE FRED #54 SENSA,CUT CABLE WITH CUTTER #55 POET,PLUG TV1 IN #56  POET,AIM TV1 AT SIGN  (This is the important "Reset Code."

Only 8,000 are dead and you have succeeded in your mission.

Sensa has gotten to the   Sloping Corridor and reinstalled the ramp so that she and    Poet can get to the lower level. Waldo and Iris have gotten  the machine fixed and salvaged one of the two ne Poet can get to the other level.  Waldo is   handed the grasper and container which he installs.

However, you'll need to have the powder analyzed, and Duffy hasn't arrived   yet, so wait around until he does.  Then get the powder      analzyed <you can ignore Stiles, he's only a red herring>.   While that's being done, examine the window <you can't open  the clock yet, it's the one key you don't have>.y, you start South of the house, where you just picked up a matchbook. <By the way, none of the stuff that came with   the game is really necessary to solving the case>.  Go North twice to the front door and ring the bell. Phong will let    you in.  Then just try to go East, and Phong will lead you   to the Living Room, where Monica and Mr.  Linder are.  Now, wait <get used to doing that, because there's a lot of  waiting in this one>, and Linder will eventually take you to his office.  Sit down in the wo  Go East into the  Backyard, then South twice to the office path.  Aha, a muddy gun!  No fingerprints, alas, but you might want to take it   along with you, just in case.  Now, go West into the Side    Yard.  Hmm, more footprints here, but they aren't quite the same as the ones on the office path.  In fact, it looks like someone was standing here for awhile. Wonder who it might have been? <No, *not* Sergeant Duffy!>. Anyway, go West again to the    driveway, then North and East into the Garage.  Unlocknning, it's a pretty       simple game.e returns, ask her about   Mr. Linder.  Her response will establish the motive.  Now,   wait some more, and she will eventually leave the room.      Follow her again, this time to the office.  As soon as you get in there, handcuff her.  Somewhere along  the way, Sgt. Duffy will have left with the body, so you     can't arrest her until he comes back. In the meantime, you   have to find some very important evidence.  So, first search Monica for the key.  When you get there waiting for Monica.  Just keep waiting;  she'll arrive <saying "Wait for Monica" is easiest.  It will take a while, so if you want to hunt down Phong and ask him  about the gun receipt, you have time>.  When she does get    there, she'll fiddle briefly with the junction box <very     suspicious!> before noticing you.  Now, wait until she       leaves, then follow her.  You *must* use directions here,    just saying "Follow Monica" won't work.  Follow her all the way to her room, and wait for her to There you are, floating around space in your ship, alarm     bells ringing in your ears. Obviously, something's about to  happen.  Get the tape library, then get up and go Starboard  into the Bridge.  Push the red button, which will shut off   the alarm bell, and read the screen. This will tell you      which object on your map is the one to head for.  Now, there's no way I can tell you the exact coordinates, as the destination changes from game to game.  However, it      isn't hard to figure out what  it, unlock the clock and   open it.  She's already removed the gun, but you can search  her for that, also.  Now, just wait until Duffy returns, and arrest her for the   murder.  And that should be about it.  By the way, if you    try leaving her and waiting in the office <so you can find   the gun in the clock>, you'll find that, however hard you    try, you won't be able to handcuff her <which is necessary   so she can be searched>.  So, you'll just have to wait and   follow her.  As I said in the begi and open both the garage door and the workshop door,  then go East into the Workshop.  The place looks like an     electrician's paradise, and there isn't much you can do      here; but, there are spools of wire hanging around.  Could   it be...?  Examine spool, and you have established a link of sorts between this place and the study.  The green wire is   obviously from this room.  Now, all you need is the person   who put it there.                          WITNESS            Part Three You now standx	Ey, huh?

So, settle in and get ready   for lift-off.  come back out of the bathroom.  When she returns, ask her about   Mr. Linder.  Her response will establish the motive.  Now,   wait some more, and she will eventually leave the room.      Follow her again, this time to the office.  As soon as you get in there, handcuff her.  Somewhere along  the way, Sgt. Duffy will have left with the body, so you     can't arrest her until he comes back. In the meantime, you   have to find some very important evidence.  So, first search Monica for the key.  When you getthey are. Once you've done     that, sit down in the control couch and fasten the belt.     Now you have to enter the course into the computer, which is done as follows:  Computer, range is x, theta is y, phi is   z.  The computer will ask you to confirm the new course,     which you do by saying:  Computer, confirm  new program.     After that, you're off!  And now it's time for the hallmark of all Infocom games:     Waiting!  You'll  sit in the couch, and wait until you       arrive at the alien ship anock. Open the door, go down,      close inner door, etc.  When you reach the Blue Dock, go Aft until you come to the Spider-like alien. It's quite          intelligent and even friendly.  Give it the tape library,    and in return you will get the yellow rod. Take that, and    make your way back to the Blue Hall.                          STARCROSS             Part Two You have two rods, and you will be using them now.  From the Blue Hall, go  up, and you're in the Grasslands.  Go South   to the Thin F Red Dock, and there's a    strange-looking sculpture here. Closer examination, and a    little thought, shows that it's a representation of the      solar system. Aha!  Could it be...? You press the fourth     bump, and strange things happen. Press the small bump, and a black rod appears...get the rod, and the outer airlock door  opens!  Okay, go inside <close outer, open inner, etc.>, and you are in a Red Hall. At this point, you might want to save the     game, and just wander around, doing some mappin to open    the outer door twice <it's balky>. Also, while you're in the Yellow Airlock, pick up the basket; it will come in very     handy!  Once on the Yellow Dock, tie the line to the suit and then   to the hook. Head Portwards, get the pink rod, put it in the basket, then go back Starboard to the dock, untie yourself,  and return to the Yellow Hall.  Now, it's time for the blue rod. Go South twice, then East   once. You are in  a laboratory with a mysterious silver      globe floating in mid-air.  Ie, North into the  Zoo, and East into the rat-ant cage.  The red rod is part of the nest, and you just can't reach    over and get it. This is one of the very few times in an     Infocom where violence is necessary: Throw the tape library  at the nest, which will be smashed. While the ratants look   at you in terror, grab the red rod and the tape library.  Now it's time for the yellow rod, so head along West, South, West, which will bring you to the Blue Hall.  Go South once  and you're at the Blue Airld you are captured by it          <however, you can enjoy the verbose descriptions while you   wait>.  Once your ship is down on the dock, unfasten the     belt, get up, and go Starboard into the storage room. Get    the suit, put it on, then get the line.  Head Portwards back to the bridge.  Fun times with airlocks begin now.  Open the inner door, go  out, close the inner door, open the outer door, and go out.  Get used to doing that, because you'll be doing it again,    and again!  So, now you're on theorest, open the hatch there, and go down into   the Repair Room.  Put the yellow rod in the yellow slot.     That turns on the lights in the Yellow Hallway.  Put the red rod in the SECOND red slot.  Make sure it's the second; this will provide a breathable atmosphere for you.  Now, get the metal square, and go up, then North, then down  again to the Blue Hall.  From there, West to the Yellow Hall and Yellow Airlock.  You know the drill by now, but there's  an extra feature this time:  You will have to tryg.  Actually, I recommend that you do so, since there will be a point in   the game where I won't be able to give you specific          directional instructions.  Now that you've checked out the territory a bit, restore to  your original entry point.  You're ready for the great rod   hunt....because the object of the game is to activtate and   control the artifact, which is done via different colored    rods. Right now, you want the red one, so, go North, then    West into the Room on Ring Two.  From thernside the globe, although you   can't see it now, is a blue rod.  It's easy to get, however. Take the two disks off the wall.  Put one on the floor, and  one under the globe.  It doesn't matter which way you do it, the result will be the same. Put the basket on the globe,    then turn the dial to 4.  Ta-da! The basket suddenly appears on the disk on the floor, with the blue rod! Turn the dial   to 1, then get both disks, the basket, and the blue rod.     Put the rod in the basket. In fact, put all rods in tir will remain breathable, and you don't need the suit anymore.  So, give it to him.  Then, when he   wants to give you something in return, point to the brown    rod he wears around his neck.  He will give it to you, and   start to leave. Follow him!  <Think of all this following    around as good practice for "Deadline.">  Continue to follow him, until you arrive at the Center of    the Warren.  Then climb down the ladder to the Green Airlock <yep, another one!>, and do the usual job with the doors.    s time   is the mechanical "mouse" that collects trash.  So, move     around until it makes an appearance. As soon as it does,     drop one of the disks <either one>.  The mouse will pick it  up.  After that, you must follow the mouse around until it   disappears into a secret door in one of the rooms.  There    are several different rooms where the mouse can do this, so  you *must* follow it.  Wait there until it reappears and leaves, wait a little      longer to make sure it won't come back, then drop t Aha! A clear rod.  Sneaky, huh? Get the rod, drop    the visor, then move along East, then South three times to   the Melted Spot, then West into the Weapons Deck. Get the    genuine Ray-gun, and look inside it.  Sonuvagun!  A silver rod!  Get that, then East and North,    and up to the Grasslands, 'cause it's time to get this show  on the road.  Now, trek on South twice to the Dense Forest,  then East to the base of the tree. Climb the tree, all the   way up to the top, then jump to the Drive Bubble.  , you must explore on your own until you   find the disk.  Once you've done that, make your way to the  Blue  Hall where the airlock is.  From there, go North       twice, then West into the Observatory.  Drop off one of the  disks, then hike along East, South, East, East, South, East  into the Weasel Village, and then East once more to the      Village Center.  Wait around a short while, and the Weasel   chief will appear.  He will indicate that he wants your space suit.  That's no   problem, since the ahe      basket when you get them.  Okay, there's still plenty of rods to collect, so let's keep moving!  Head West, then North four times to the end of the  hallway, then West to the Room on Ring One, and South from   there into the Computer Room. Open the panel on the          computer, then insert the metal square into the slot.  Turn  on the computer, and you will get a gold rod.  Don't worry   about all the displays; they aren't important to you.  Now comes more waiting.  What you're waiting for thiFrom the dock, go West to the Umbilical, then West again to  the Cargo Hold.  Pick up the visor fragment, then go Forward into the Control Room of the wrecked ship.  Move the         skeleton, and you will find a violet rod.  Now, drop the     disk on the floor, and step on it. If you  attempt to leave  the way you came, the Weasels will kill you for disturbing   their shrine.  So, now you've materialized in the Observatory, and it's     time to pick up another rod:  Look at projector through      visor. he other  disk on the floor and step on it. Zap!! You're in the        Garage!  <Hurray for transporter disks!>.  Pick up the disk, then empty the trash bin <yuck!> until you find the green    rod.  Go North and you will be in the Room on Ring Four.                         STARCROSS            Part Three You are now in the Room on Ring Four.  Now, this is why you  had to do some mapping on your own: You must get the other   disk you dropped, and there's no telling exactly in which    room that was.  SoInsert the silver rod into the slot, then enter the bubble.  There's a white rod here; get that and put it into the white slot.  Under no circumstances should you insert the black    rod into the black slot!!  That will shut everything down!   Okay, the drive mechanism has been activated; now you have   to make the thing move.  So, out, and up to the top of the   Bubble, and....jump! Isn't floating in air fun?

I also learned how to appreciate the    running  of programs at lightning fast speeds!  From then on, I      worked  my  way  up  through the ranks and acquired a 160K drive (boy   was  I  feeling  like  a king now that I had a disk drive!), a  300 baud  modem,  a  256K memory expander (quickly upgraded  to  512K when  Orphanware's  Big John made it possible), and yet a  second disk  drive.  Well little machine, so the relative    slowness  of data packs was offset by the data storage size.  When I  heard  about 160K disks, I really didn't see a need for one..after all,  my data packs worked just fine, and besides, why should I   give up  about  100K  of storage space just to speed things up?      After  a  while, I decided to add even more storage space to my       system,  so  I  purchased  a  second data drive.  It was  then  that  I  first  encountered that dreaded illness we all succumb high    storage  capacity  of  a  hard disk made me dream of one.  "No       dice"  was  always  his  reply.  "It's just not going to reach  enough  of  a  market to make it profitable..." I was told.  Well, thanks  to the  move  in other computer circles for ever more speed and     storage,  the  type of hardware needed to run a hard disk on the      Adam  has  been falling in price.  Nobody wants a mere 20 Meg drive    anymore.   .pa "Joe  down the street has a new 40 Meg on his  computer..I  thileco  spent  so  much time and effort in making inaccessible,     all  the  while  cursing that so called engineer for such a tight lay out.   Well, it all came out just fine, and I learned to be        careful with  my  prized  computer accessories, how to pay close          attention  to  hardware  installation details, and how to READ             INSTRUCTIONS!   I  had  also  set up the desire for maximum storage space  and ever  more stuff!  Over the next 14 months, or so, I added components to .pa                     INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY  Well friends, the one piece of equipment so long lacking    from our  list  of possible add-on products has just become a         reality.   I  guess  from  the first time I saw an original  Coleco  160K disk  drive, I've wanted to get as far away from digital data     packs  as  possible.  My first use of the Adam with it's one data      drive  was  the "perfect" system for learning computing.  I was         impressed  by  the capabilities of this, with this setup, I finally "had it all!"    Not  so!  John came out with a 320K disk drive upgrade.     Then  a  720K  disk drive upgrade.  Now, at the end of all this, I   had  a  massive  system  running as many as 6 disk drives, an  80   column  display  and  so much other hardware that it would  take    another  page  to contain the list!  It was during this time that I  first  started  asking John about the possibility of adding a Hard Disk  to  my  Adam.  Just thinking of the high speed AND  to at one   time or  another  ...the  installation shakes!  I was scared to      death  of  missing  a pin or something while hooking up the two        cables.   I  could just feel those drops of sweat popping out on my      forehead!   With a hot, flushed feeling, I went ahead and installed it. All  those  stories of people missing that single pin and        blowing  up  the  controller  inside the CPU were going through my head  as  I  worked.  I carefully lined up the plugs with the pins that  Conk  I'll  go for a 60 Meg!"  Well, because of that attitude,    we  can  now  add  that unwanted 20 Meg to our system for about  the same  price I paid for my 720K disk drive!    The first step in the right direction was when I received a phone  call  from Glen Smith in California a few months ago.       Glen  had  seen  an add for an interface used to add hard drives  to   Kaypro  computers.   Since the Kaypro is also a Z80 based  machine, "why  wouldn't  the same interface work on my Adam?" he aspster..the        fellow  who  added grayscale printing to Davinci) decided to loan Big    John the  use  of his drive for testing and installation on our BBS.  This  went  so  well, I ordered a MiniScribe 3.5" 20 Meg  unit    from  a  company I found listed in Computer Shopper Magazine for     only $179  bucks.   Still not a bad deal!  Glen went ahead and         ordered  his  own  interface, which he is letting me use in my machine at this  time  for a while.  What follows what I had to do to GET i of his now famous T-DOS operating system to drive   it!  He  is currently working on a version of T-DOS that will allow  those  of you with TV screen/monitor displays to use the same      system  we  80  column  owners enjoy.  This version, I am told,  will   enable  those  with an 80 CVU to still use it and toggle back  and  forth  from  TV display to 80 columns.  Those with no 80 column    monitor  can  still  run  up to 4 disk drives AND a hard  disk,  any size  memory  expander and still retain  from the fact Coleco decided to solder the    Z80a  in  place rather than socket the chip.  This saved Coleco a     trifle in  production  costs,  but made our work a good  deal  harder. The  computer  you  plan  to  use must be  stripped  of  all     existing  hardware.  That means removal of the data drives, AdamLink  modem,  memory expander, printer interface, unplugging the monitor, key- board and any disk drives as well as the power supply cord. The  next step is to remove all the screws that h little things affords!) for    testing  on  this end.  That started the mad scramble  to  obtain    another  interface, and some inexpensive hard drive mechanics.       Well, just  to  show  you how things work in the Adam community, a      friend  of  mine in Cleveland, Ohio had ran onto a good deal on a hard  drive  about a year ago (a Seagate ST225 for $139 is hard to       beat!)   He  knew that he couldn't use the drive yet, but purchased it   for "if  and  when"  usage.  Well,  he (George  Harked.    To  go  even  further,  Glen proposed to purchase an interface      from  the  dealer  and  send  it to me.  I was to get it  to  Big      John  for  possible  installation on an Adam.  After some preliminary  work,  John  sent the interface to Tony Morehen of AJM  Software.  Tony  would  see about writing  the software needed to let Adam   "talk"  to the interface which would, in turn, talk to the hard     drive.  Tony  not  only  patched the software, he also  wrote  a    special  versiont into  my machine. .pa                         THE INSTALLATION     CAUTION:  This is not advised for the first time            installer.   If  you  are not well qualified to do this type of work, PLEASE take  it to someone who IS!  This is not for the amateur          technician!  Upon  seeing the interface, I realized a potential problem. The  board  is  designed to plug into a Z80 socket on  the       computer's  mother  board.   The  Z80 then plugs  into  the  interface. The  problem arosethose digital data        drives!   If  all  that isn't enough, the TPA size will be slightly       higher,  so  programs needing extra TPA space will now become available  to all  Adam  owners.   I'll  go into a bit more detail  on  the    current  version  of T-DOS (version 3.2) after I finish  the         installation  report.  A  few  days  after Tony managed to get  his  20  Meg       MiniScribe  running in Canada, he sent us the new software by modem     (amazing  the convenience one of thoseold the two     halves of  the CPU housing together.  You will have to place your CPU  upside  down  and remove the screw using a phillips screwdriver.    All the  screws are recessed into the bottom of your Adam, so about  a 4 or  5 inch shaft on the screw driver would be best.    My  advise  is to find a small can to place all  of  these  screw  into.  You'd be surprised how many will be missing when you reach  for them later if you don't!  Next, remove the 4 screws     that hold  the  front of yges.  Be   careful  with this or you could lift a trace by mistake!  Now, you are ready to install the first 40 pin IC socket.   Be sure  to always line these up with pin #1.  Very carefully,       solder  the  legs  in place on the bottom of your game board.  Look this part  over very carefully.  A mistake here could cost you your    computer  AND your new hard drive later!  If you are satisfied that   you did  a  good  job  and left no solder bridges, you can  go       ahead  and  replace your galding this in  place  in  strategic corners.  Don't miss the ones holding  the    monitor  plug into place!  Place these screws with the others.       Carefully  remove the metal shield and set it with the top half of the CPU.  You are now looking down on the famous Coleco Game board.   Almost  in the center, you will see a long 40 pin chip.  This is    your Z80  and you are about to DESTROY it!  Take a good look at it to make  sure you've located the right one.  It will say it's a Z80  right  on tshould make for  a  tight  fit with maximum stability.  You are now ready to install the interface.  If you look    at  the  bottom  of your interface, you will see 40 pins lined  up   neatly  under  the socket you plugged your Z80 into earlier.  The   ribbon  connector pins will point towards your game controller      ports.  In  fact,  when installed, the board will stick out past those  ports  about an inch or so.  Be  careful to line up all the pins   as  you  plug  the  interface into your buimove your existing Z80 from the game board.  You will  find  two  screws holding this board in place along with  a wide  ribbon  cable at the back.  Remove the two screws and place them  with all the others, gently lift the board and pull off the cable  that  connects it to the main board.  The easiest way  to   remove  the Z80 is to forget about saving it and just snip the legs free.   Now,  turning  the  board over, you will have to  dress  it with  solder  wick to clean up any possible solder bridour Adam onto the CPU.  This swings  forward from  the bottom edge (where the 4 screws were) and pops right    off. Now  carefully  turn the Adam back to it's upright  position and make  sure your anti-static wrist band is well grounded.  Using   a  bit  of care, remove the top half of the case and set it aside.  Next,  remove  the two reset covers and place them by your screws. You  are now looking at the metal RFI shield Coleco wisely       placed over  the  game board.  You will spot the screws home board.  Reconnect the ribbon cable and    replace  the  two screws holding the board in place.  If you look at your  game board, you will notice quite a few components          preventing the  interface from a low profile installation.  To clear these  parts,  just  press the 3 extra IC sockets into the newly  soldered one.   This  will build up the socket so that your interface will  clear  the existing hardware.  Don't stack on to many, or you will loose  stability.   Using round legged sockets op.  Now, if you are lucky, you will find yourself to   be  one  of the luck FEW with a socketed Z80 (most were not).  If it has a  socket,  just slip a flat bladed screw driver under the     edge  and  carefully  pop it out.  Be sure to note the position of     pin  #1.   The  Z80  can be popped into the hard disk interface        (again,  be  sure  to install the pins in the correct direction based    on  pin  #1!)  If you were not so lucky as to have a socketed Z80 chip,    you will  have  to relt up 40 pin IC  socket.  Make  sure it seats firmly.  It should rest on the left game      controller  port on one edge.  If your a little high, you can use one   of  the  small  screws to make a leg.  You can also use anything     solid  of  the correct heigth to support the opposite side.    Now would be a good time to reconnect your power supply,    keyboard  and monitor to test for proper computer operation.  If      everything  is OK, the system should come up normally.  Try to boot a   tape oads as   well as  cylindars.   A format is in two parts..the low level        format  and  the  final  format.  To perform the low level  format,  you will  first  have to run an operating system capable of talking   to  the  hard disk.  The only system in the world that can do this   is Tony  Morehen's  new Hard drive version of T-DOS 3.2.  (An EOS    routine  is  in the works and should be ready within the next few    weeks).   Now,  the program you want to run is called  HDINSTALL.COM. The  systeng  iron  in  hand!  By 6:30 am,  my  hard      disk  was  finally online.  John had to rework the socket, resolder    the game  board  and perform other modifications to my original work. Now  we were ready to install the hard drive into it's new       cabinet.  I  used  a half-height vertical cabinet.  This one can hold    two half  height drives and contains it's own power supply.  The      mechanics  simply  stand on their side.  Holes on the bottom of the    housing  allow  easy access to bolt t but the  result  will  be a high level format in a pattern your      Adam  can  access.  The drive will be partitioned into 4 logical       devices for  you as well.  When this is finished running, it will        generate yet  another  program called HDDIAG.COM.  Run this next to       verify  the  format  and  disk integrity.  When complete with this       task,  you  will have yet one more program to run...FINDBAD.COM.  This  little  utility will check out the entire disk on a track by track  basiting  your system back together, it is best to   let  it  sit  for a while to make sure it keeps running.  There's    nothing  worse than putting the system back together only to find    that  it  quit working!  That's what happened to me, you know!  The  new hard drives rarely come with a low level format,   so  you  will  have  to take care of this yourself.  Unlike a  disk  drive  where  you just say format and it does so, this job is much more  involved.  You will now be working with multiple her  disk  and  put  the  system through a few  tests  until     you  are  satisfied  that the new interface isn't interfering  with   normal  operations.   If  it  won't  come  online,  try  to         "nudge"  the  interface a bit.  It may not be quite seated correctly.     This  is  the one spot that gave me the most trouble.  I had to call  on Big  John for help.  To show how willing John is to go out of    his  way  to help someone with problems, he showed up at my door at   4:30 am   ....solderim  will prompt you for the type of hard disk you       have,  the  interleave  you  wish to use and the base port  address.    Follow  your installation instructions (on screen) for these areas. The  program will take a few minutes to do the low level format. Just  sit back and take it easy for a while.  You are now ready (providing the low level format when ok)  to  do  the  final format.  This is done using Tony's modified      HDFORMAT.  The questions will be similar to the HDINSTALL programs',  he drive into place.  Carefully plug  the wiring harness from the power supply to the hard disk.  Next,  connect the two ribbon cables to the hard disk.  YOU MUST   BE SURE  TO  LINE UP ON PIN # 1 OR YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR UNIT!        Route  the  two  ribbon  cables out of the housing and slip  the  cover into  place.  You can replace any screws you had to remove in the case.                        FORMATTING YOUR DRIVE  Now you are ready to begin the formatting of the new hard   drive! Before  puts.   To  make it a bit easier to run, you can use your text      editor  in  non-document mode to write a short submit file.  Call it    FIND.SUB  for easy of remembering.  The file only needs 4 lines.....  findbad a: findbad b: findbad c: findbad d:  When  you  run submit, just type "submit find <RETURN>  and each  drive will be checked automaticly.  At  this  time,  you can either go ahead and put  your  CPU back  together or start to load the hard disk with software.  I   prefer  to  load u can now CAREFULLY         replace  the  metal  shield  and screw in the retaining  screws.          Install  the  monitor port and then retry the system.  If you are sure    that all  things are still working properly, you can go on and        prepare  the  top half of the CPU cabinet for installation.  Mark a long rectangle on the outside of your CPU housing.   Start  at the left joystick port about half it's width toward the  right  controller port.  Trace a line up from this point about     5/8t  looking over your installation.  Try to find any spots      where  the  interface  comes  in close contact with other components    of  the  game  board.   Those resistors and capacitors you  had  to  clear  earlier  near  the Z80 already have some glue on  them,  so they  should  work  well!   The left game port socket is  also  a good  location for some glue.  The better job you do here, the    stronger  your interface will be bonded to the game board.  This will keep  it from coming loose on y power down your CPU and unplug      everything   from  it.  Disconnect the ribbon cables from the hard drive very  carefully.  You can use the small flat bladed screw driver  to pry  the cable off the connector pins.  Do this very carefully.  Now,  holding  your cabinet at an angle (the cut out side down    and  the  section covering the data drives up), gently slip the edge  of the  cutout over the end of the interface and carefully bring    down the  other  end until the cover is resting in place.ave to make will be in preparing the end         covering  the  game ports and side port.  The left tab and the side port   shield  will  need to be removed using the metal snips and the      remaining  tabs  straightened so that they will reach.  Use the  fine  metal  file to smooth out any sharp areas. Peel off two of those   rubber  feet I mentioned in the parts list and place them on the    highest  points  of the interface.  This will keep the metal  shield from  touching  the  board itself.  Yoit up as this gives me a further means of  testing it's  reliability.   (Actually, the test is for the reliability   of  the  installation of the interface board.)  If you are ready to  put it  all back together, proceed to the next section. .pa                     PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER  Start  this  slowly.  You don't want to bump  the           interface  and  possibly break contact somewhere!  Plug in your hotmelt     glue  gun  and  let  it  start getting hot.  While it's  heating  up,  star"  and  over  toward the back of your CPU a line about 4 and  1/2"  long.   From  this point, just bring the line down until it is even with  the other end and connect to this side forming a rectangle. You  will need the keyhole or jig-saw to cut out this rectangle. Use  the metal file and the sharp utility knife to smooth your   work.      Measure as accurately as possible to see if the hole  will  clear  your  interface  when  the  cabinet  is  restored.   If     you  are  satisfied with the job,ou later.  (Just don't use too     much glue  and  never  glue  to  a chip.  If it has glue  on  it  now, it's  probably  safe.  If not, take a close look at what your     planning  to glue to.  When this is all cool, try your system out     again  to  make sure it still works properly.  You will now need to modify that metal RFI shield if you    plan  on  replacing  it.   I recommend using it to cut down  on  the  radio  interference the interface tends to put out.  The only real mods  you  will h  Gently     turn  the  CPU over and replace the front cover plate.  Install the 4  screws  to hold this plate on.  Now, replace the screws that        connect  the  two halves of the CPU cabinet.  You can now turn it back    over and  reconnect  the various other pieces of hardware.  In my     case,  I  reconnected  the disk drive cable, then the power cable     and  key  board.   Next  went  the two data drives.  Then  the        Y-cable  to  connect my RS 232 serial port and my 80 CVU.  Then I    l 0 (you  have  16 user areas for each device under CP/M  and         T-D0S..0-15)  can be run from ANY drive or user area!  The A0: drive is   where I  placed all of the utility software I use frequently.  Such  things  as FORMAT, CLOCK14, UNCR, DELIB, UNARC, ARK4, SD, etc. are  found  here.   I  also put my WordSTAR 4.0 "com" file  here.   The nice  thing about this set up is that, even though WordSTAR 4.0   is  now  located  on C3: with all of it's accessory files and        overlays,  I  can  stAdam!  Congratulations!                   A WORD ABOUT T-DOS (c) version 3.2  Probably the most usefull software packages ever written    for  the  Adam, T-DOS is the only software capable of running your    new hard  drive.  The reason is that no other software written knows  how to  "talk"  to  the  hard drive.  Every  other  software        package  is  addressed to the various peripherals such as data or floppy disk  drives.   This  one must be addressed straight  through     the  Z80  micropr will make  using  the  hard drive even easier.  SD.COM (super  directory)     wouldn't  search beyond drive C:, so I patched it to cover the 4 hard disk  areas (A,B,C and D), the RAMdisk area (E), the two disk     drives (F  and  G...soon  to  be 4 drives!) and even the  two  digital data  drives  (H and I).  I also patched a program by Irv  Hoff   called  "WHERFIND"  to access all the different drive and user      areas.   I  also patched WHEREIS to do a search of all drives.  To use, just  type  esses the hard  drive  as  4    logical  devices.  The first section becomes Drive A0: and can hold  up  to  one megabyte of programming.  Drives 2,3 and 4 are named    B0:, C0:  and  D0: respectively and can each hold 7 megabytes of      data.  As  you can see from a bit of simple addition, Tony managed to  glean  a  full 22 MEG from an ordinary 20 meg hard drive.  To make this  software/hardware  package work as a unit, Tony installed a path  feature so that anything placed on drive A: at user leve    installed my  512K memory board, PIA2 printer interface and finally my    clock.  Before  reconnecting the ribbon cables to the hard drive,   it's  a  good  idea to test the system out yet again.  If all still  works  fine, you can power down and reconnect the hard drive       cables.  At  this  point, you  can be pretty well assured of  a  well    working  system  from  now  on  in!  The worst is  over  and  you've just  completed  the most difficult hardware installation ever    made  on  an ill  use it from ANYWHERE!  If I am on D15:  and     need  to  write  a text file for something, I can type WS <return>    and  in  just  a  few seconds, the path will go out to  A0:,  load   WS.COM  which  will branch out to C3: to pick up it's overlay data, then  back  to  D15: so that I can use it.  All that in  less     than  13  seconds.   If I happen to boot WordSTAR 4.0 FROM C3:, it    will  be  up and running in slightly under 5 seconds!   .pa I wrote patches to several useful utilities thatocessor  itself!   To do this required a  software   system  culminating from 3 years of hard work on the part of Tony   Morehen   who  had to  rewrite software several times to keep up      with  the  many  hardware innovations of John Lingrel, but this one    was  the  all  time  show-stopper!  It is doubtful that anyone  else  could  "develop independently" such  a package at this late date,  so  if  one shows up claiming such a thing...remember..you were     warned!  T-DOS  3.2  (or  later) addrwhereis <filename.type>(can use wildcards  too!)      <RETURN>.   No  matter what drive and user area you are on, the path    will  go  out to A0:, run the program and begin a search of all       drives  and  user  areas for your requested program title.  I also       patched  a  park routine from Plu Perfect!!

(Syd owns Trisyd Video Games.)   Jim and Bruce Walters, of   Walters Brothers, also had a really innovative product,      their new utility cartridge.  That's right, CARTRIDGE!  It   loads just like one of Coleco's cartridge games, saving wear and tear on your other drives and leaving them free.  What a great idea...  Perhaps e hotel let us use the rooms all night, but they were      quite pleasant about it, from front desk to security staff.And Dining to music... via ADAM????  No kidding!  Chris Braymen  entertained us during lunch on the last day with both pop    and classical selections on a synthesizer, played through    the MIDI interface he has just completed.  He demonstrated   how  to compose, play, and edit music using the interface.   This is a first for ADAM, and we were thoroughly impressed   (Chris was interrupt.  But it's  not the same thing as hearing them in person or, for         example, looking over Phil Kowsowsky's photographs showing   floor-to-ceiling STACKS of unopened computers, which he      keeps for parts.  It will be a long time before Phil runs    out of parts to repair your ADAM!  And just hearing these    guys talk about what all they plan in the future is          heartening... they can't keep the enthusiasm out of their    voices.  (Not that anybody seemed to be trying very hard!)   The represe ticket was  drawn to win the coveted hard disk interface donated by John Lingrel.  The winner was Tony Morehen.  Tony didn't really   need the prize, though, because he already has one.  He      generously told Monte to put it back in the drawing so       someone else could win.  (Russ Barrow won, and he was so     excited about it that he looked like a game show contestant  running down the aisle!)  Anyway, Tony's ticket went back in the drum.  When the ticket for the grand prize of American   airline tican ADAM.  Invariably, Ron Collins was one of them!  Everybody wanted to see Ron's  setup, and marvel at the speed of the hard drive.  Tony      Morehan gave private demonstrations of his comprehensive     utility program, Filemanager (which blows me away!  I bought it on the spot.)  And people wanted to try their luck at     figuring out the Coleco Graphics Processor, which is what    Coleco apparently used to design game screens.  It doesn't   have any docs, so it's a challenge.  I was surprised that    ththe most exciting product demo was by Mark Gordon, who has just started a new enterprise called    Micro Innovations.  Mark showed us the prototype for his     Powermate series (see his press release elsewhere in this    issue.)  The software isn't complete yet, but the hardware   itself is a very handsome product, well-thought, well-       designed, and professionally executed.                    All the enthusiasm.  Sure, I keep reading about how all the  vendors intend to continue their support of ADAMed several times by spontaneous          applause!)  Chris, a musician by avocation, designed the     MIDI for his own use, but several people have expressed an   interest in marketing it.  By the way, several people        expressed concern after the recent earthquake hit the        Braymens' home town of San Francisco.  Chris and his wife    are fine, though; they had extended their vacation after     ADAMCON, and weren't even home yet when the quake hit. Poetic justice.  We all held our breath when thentatives of the users' groups have big plans,     too, and they are just as enthusiastic as the vendors.  I    wouldn't have missed their conversations for the world.Nightowl Sessions.  We were supposed to close down the       meeting rooms at the end of each day's sessions.  But people kept going to the front desk and reopening one room or the   other after hours.  There didn't seem to be any time of      night that you couldn't find a couple of conventioneers in   one of the meeting rooms, hunched over kets was drawn... YOU GUESSED IT.  It was Tony's  ticket.  You could scarcely blame the crowd for cheering. It was a well-deserved stroke of luck, and a great way to wrap  up the award ceremonies.Closing dinner.  Monte had arranged for the famous Church    Street Station double-decker bus to pick everyone up, so     nobody had to worry about the traffic.  He convinced those   who had bought ADAMCON T-shirts to wear them to dinner.  By  this time, Monte was so full of good fellowship that he      treated easn't really that hot, but it   was still a bit humid, and it was overcast some of the time. This is mostly hearsay for some of us... we scarcely left    the building.  But some of our guests crammed in quite a bit of sightseeing, and we hope they didn't find it overly warm.(The week following the convention, we had a cold snap; this week the temperature has been ideal.  Go figure.)                                   3) Equipment Mixups.  Throughout the convention, we were     able to keep track of all their 53rd anniversary that   evening.  After dinner, Monte made everybody with an ADAMCON T-shirt pose for group pictures before the crowd split up to explore the entertainment complex.  By that time, we had     enjoyed each other's company so much that the atmosphere was more like a class reunion than a computer convention.  I     don't think there was anyone who wasn't thinking of ways to  get to Toronto next year.So, was ADAMCON wonderful?  Most emphatically YES!  Was it   perfect?  Don't be silly.  It eley was generous enough to lend Monte a 64k card and a printer       interface until he can figure out where his went.  Someone   lost a disk cable, and I was able to give him one.  We ended up with an extra disk drive power supply; someone must be    anxious about this.  Anybody who got home and discovered a mixup should contact   MOAUG, and we will try to sort it out.  It will help         enormously if every piece of equipment is clearly labelled   for ADAMCON 02.  (I was very glad I had put labels onotos of all    the A-Net BBS sysops.  We like it so well that we are going  to use it again at ADAMCON 02!  Also, there were quite a few people recording the convention in photos and on tape.  We   hope to get copies of everybody's work and compile one giant collection.  We will gladly trade our own photos and tape    for copies of others.                  2) The Weather.  One of the reasons we decided to hold the   convention in October was because we figured the weather     would be perfect.  Well, it wach table to a bottle of champagne.  (Maybe he was  just relieved to have lived through all this!  He and his    wife, Lydia, never seemed to relax for a second.)  Whatever  the reason, it was a wonderful thing to do.  There were no   dinner speeches planned, but people wandered up to the       microphone anyway.  Monte was thoroughly praised for making  ADAMCON a success.  Jock Gardner even made up a poem on the  spot!  And it turned out that two MOAUG members, Allen and   Frances Bell, were celebrating the equipment everyone brought,    even though we did a lot of switching around.  ("Hey, we     need a 64k over here... is there a spare disk drive we can   use?)  That's a pretty good feat, considering that most of   the peripherals weren't marked.  But in the last few frantic moments, when we were trying to shut down in time to catch   the bus to Church Street Station, there were some mixups.    Monte lost a couple of items.  A couple of monitors were     switched, and that got straightened out; and Alan Newouldn't do for us to get SMUG about it, would it?  Some of the things that were less than  ideal:1) The Rogue's Gallery.  This was a great idea that just     didn't work out.  We didn't get all the photos we'd hoped    for, and of those that were sent, many arrived too late for  the convention.  Worse, Jack Tilson, the head of the         project, suffered a heart attack just before the convention. It didn't stop him from going, though!  On the plus side,    Alan Neeley constructed a super poster with ph all my stuff, so I didn't have any trouble figuring out what to     pack up, even though I am easily perplexed in a crowd.)I did, however, end up with someone else's photographs!  If  anyone reading this sees Russ Barrow, please tell him I will return them as soon as I find out his address!     Missing Persons.   We were looking forward to meeting Paul   Pappas, Steve Pittman, John Lingrel, Solomon Swift, and      Ricki Gerlach, all of whom were expected and sent door       prizes, but ended up havin get it.)

He is setting it   up so that the functions are in the memory expander and the  workspace is in regular RAM (which is opposite of the        original version.)

Diligently writing the latest BIOS      CALL... only after being shooed from the kitchen fBIOS CALL IS A REGULAR FEATURE IN THE MOAUG NEWSLETTER who        supplied this to us and to whom we express our appreciation.BIOS CALL   by MOAUG CP/M Librarian Jerome Hess (MOAUG news       12/89)       Well, it's Thanksgiving Day and what am I doyour      original CP/M tape.).If you have two data drives, or one data and one disk drive, or   any other combination of media sources, then this copying should  be quite easy.  If, on the other hand, you have the basic ADAM    with only one tape drive, then you are in a bit of a bind.  (Fear not!  This is a bind that we'll get you out of in just a few      lines here.)  For a multidrive unit you can use the built-in COPY command on your STARTER PAK.  Use the command:   COPY A: CATPRTV1.4Z B:    (Thiing I would have at least the next three articles for the newsletter prepared.  Well, the       meeting has come and gone, and due to further difficulties        neither I nor my articles were there..                               In addition, I've moved, and have yet to locate my back issues of the newsletter, thus I'm not real sure of where I am on the       starter pack.  So here goes...  In light of good packing and poor memory I think I will pick a    rather safe subject this month.  One that doesnd like this:   SDCOPY CATPRTV1.4Z   SDCOPY will then guide you through the proper swapping of source  and destination DDP's.  One warning, though:  Perform ALL of the  swaps.  Even if YOU KNOW that it has written the entire file,     keep to the directions; otherwise, you may damage one or both of  your media.   So, after some preparation, you now have a work medium that has   CPMADAM.COM, CATPRTV1.4, and UNCR.20 on it... along with a whole  lot of empty space.  Fear not, we'll put that space to good  the first and last time that I have seen   it.  Therefore I must assume that this is an as yet undiscovered  gem..So come with me on this day of discovery and let's have some      fun!!!.As it sits, the file will do you absolutely no good at all. So,   to start with, you'll need to format and sysgen another CP/M disk (or datapack) that you can use as a work disk.  On your work      disk, you will need to copy several files.  The files you will    need are" CATPRV1.4Z, UNCR20.COM, and CPMADAM.COM (from ing?  (Besides        waiting for dinner!)  ... Diligently writing the latest BIOS      CALL... only after being shooed from the kitchen for              taste-testing..                                         Since you last heard from me I have: gotten engaged, lost my job, started school, found a new job, missed ADAMCON1, TREKON 11, and  had my car broken into... so please excuse the tardiness and      absence of myself and my column. In light of all this, I promised Pat that at the VERY next MOAUG meets is assuming that your STARTER PAK is in drive A: and your   work disk is in drive B:.  Otherwise use whatever drive letters   are appropriate.)        Now, about that bind a lot of folks are in... Well, near the      bottom of your DIR listing of the STARTER PAK. you'll find a file called SDCOPY.COM.  This file was originally written by John      Moore of Atlanta, on the theory that a large portion of the ADAM  community has a single drive system.  SDCOPY is a Single Drive    COPY utility.  And it's use't relate to the   other articles but will allow you a little more versatility with  CP/M. .In an alphabetical directory of the STARTER PAK you'll find that  the 4th entry is unusual in that its name doesn't give you any    hint as to what its CP/M function could be.  Well, there's a very good reason for that.  CATPRIV1.4Z isn't a CP/M file.  It's an    EOS file that I think is so great that I think everyone should    have it.  I found this file on the old TARDIS BBS about four      years ago and that wasuse!   To start with, if you've been following this column, you'll       remember that most files having a Z as the second letter of their file extension will be files that have been compressed using the  CRUNCH method.  Therefore, we need to extract the file into a     useable format, like this:   UNCR20 A: CATPRTV1.4Z A: *.*   This will decompress CAT and put it into a readable format..Great!  We now have a wonderful EOS file that's readable in CP/M. Still doesn't do us a whole lot of good, but we and insert the medium.  CAT reads the directory and     prints out a listing as well as the title of the medium.   The only drawback to CAT is that I have been unable to get it to  work with an external printer.  It's my idea that this was        written before the parallel printer was as common as it now is,   so the option wasn't considered necessary.  However, I am hoping  someone will solve this.  I will load up a disk or DDP, full of   my favorite games, utilities, etc. and send it to the first EOS ns, using your newly decompressed   version of CATPRTV1.4 as the file to transfer.   The destination medium for CAT can be almost any EOS medium. (My  immediate suggestion is the SmartBASIC tape itself, but some      folks are a bit skittish about putting files on an "original      DDP".  Balderdash... there is very little that you can do to      SmartBASIC to damage it, and this isn't it.).OK.  Everything appears okay, no error messages, no runs, no      drips, no errors!  Now why are we doing this aga32867     (407) 671-1063    ds the directory and     prints out a listing as well as the title of the medium.   The only drawback to CAT is that I have been unable to get it to  work with an external printer.  It's my idea that this was        written before the parallel printer was as common as it now is,   so the option wasn't considered necessary.  However, I am hoping  someone will solve this.  I will load up a disk or DDP, full of   my favorite games, utilities, etc. and send it to the first EOS  for you.  CATPRTV1.4 is a small, easy -to-use catalog printer of both disks and DDPs   in both EOS and CP/M.  That's right; with just a few minutes of   your time and a few sheets of paper,    you can have a very       comprehensive listing of ALL the files on each of your disks or   DDPs, be they CP/M or EOS, as well as know exactly which medium   they are on!!!   Operation couldn't be simpler.  Load SmartBASIC, RUN CATPRTV1.4   and follow the onscreen directions.  You select the drive to be   cataloged're getting there.   CPMADAM.COM was one of those programs that COLECO, in one of      their brief flashes of consumer-oriented thought, put together    for the poor end user.  COLECO realized that, as good as CP/M is, there would come a time when folks would want to swap files back  and forth between CP/M and EOS. Thus CPMADAM.COM was born.   As the instructions for CPMADAM are listed in the manual, I'll    only briefly touch on it.  Type in CPMADAM <Return> and then      follow the onscreen instructio  hacker that sends me a modified copy of CAT that works with a     wide variety of external printers.  As to why I waited until the end to explain CAT to you... Well,   if you'd known all along, then you might have skipped over a step or two, and... well... we can't have that. Besides, it was a good exercise in CP/M, eh?   Questions?  Comments?
