SmartBASIC - A Coleco Adam Forum

It looks like the poke 18747,201 is trying to bypass the routine at 18747 by inserting a RET (opcode C9 = 201). But that routine seems to need to return with a valid value in register A. Try this: poke 11127,255: poke 18747,121:poke 18748,201 This disables the value check with the poke 11127,255 The...

Hi Milli, I'll try to explain Colecovision sound programming as best as I can. The three best resources I have found are: 1. "Colecovision Coding Guide" by Daniel Bienvenu starting at page 198. Good documentation on sound structure. 2. "Official Colecovision Programming Manual" section 7 Sound Gener...

I know this is CP/M but you might want to review the POLLER and READ AND DEBOUNCE GAME CONTROLLER ($E206) subroutine in the EOS 5 source code to see how the game controllers are read and decoded in EOS.

What assembler do you use for CP/M? Also is there a disassembler you would recommend?

A while ago when the http://theadamresource.com went dark I saved all the TWWMCA articles I could find and put them in a PDF.

This is one aspect of the ADAM which I find annoying: No standard serial or parallel port. How about using the Adamnet network? Any documents on how to access and decode the signals? There is documentation for ADAMNet in the ADAM Technical Manual which you can probably find on http://adamarchive.org/

I thought the MIB was Eve/Orphanware compatible

I don't see how it could be if the EVE/Orphanware use the 8251 and those ports.

Does that code really work with the MIB2? I ask because the MIB2 and MIB3 do not use an 8251 USART they use a Phillips SCN2681 DUART and when I was dissembling ADAMLink V it uses ports 10H-1DH to communicate with the SCN2681 (see attached port list) when in MIB2/MIB3 mode.

Did you ever get it to run? I typed in the same code and it compiled and ran fine with the latest disk you uploaded.

Found the source of the corruption I think. I'll upload AIM 1.1.1 soon for testing. The software should handle both interleaved (DSK) and non-interleaved images (DDP).
