SmartBASIC - A Coleco Adam Forum

Letting everybody know, mozzwald still has a few Adam fujinet beta boards left for people who want to hack on fujinet software or firmware.

#ColecoAdam #Z88DK Need some help on the SmartKeys proportional font output routines that are in smartkeyslib. https://github.com/tschak909/smartkeyslib Currently, the code in smartkeys_putc() https://github.com/tschak909/smartkeyslib/blob/main/src/smartkeys_putc.c will literally plot a single dot f...

Not yet. John Lundy will be making production units available, once the firmware reaches 1.0. Anyone who wants to build them, can already, as we've released the hardware information, and the firmware is public. Anyone who wants to work on firmware can get a beta unit, as I can really use the help. -...

#FujiNet #ColecoAdam #CPM I can work with somebody to build bindings for their favorite language, e.g. Turbo PASCAL. Anyone want to jump in? All FujiNet networking functions can be done with writes to the correct AdamNet DCB, we just need a few bits of info, here's the data structure for a DCB in C:...

In this video, I give an overview of writing #ColecoAdam programs in the excellent @Z88DK compiler. https://youtu.be/oh0kRlBI0Os

I have released a @Z88DK library called "smartkeyslib" which makes #ColecoAdam SmartKeys bars and status displays. It uses the proportional font found in the SmartWriter ROM for its display. Code is here at Github: https://github.com/tschak909/smartkeyslib . Here are pics from the example program. W...

Indeed

my goal here is to build a library of C functions for Adam software development (for me, to use for #FujiNet config and other tools), and write programs as test harnesses to make sure they work, while also serving as usable examples for others.

#ColecoAdam As I am attempting to come to grips with both EOS and get @Z88DK in shape to emit EOS programs, I wrote a quick tool so I could generate a DDP image from a boot block, and an output program. https://github.com/tschak909/ddp

Hello Adam users. This will be a very long post, but the abstract is: I would like to bring #FujiNet to the Adam, via AdamNet, to provide network streaming of disk, virtual printing to PDF, a WiFi MODEM, and a Network Interface Card with tons of protocol offloading, and to do so in a very cost effec...
