SmartBASIC - A Coleco Adam Forum

What is an Easter Egg? In computing and software an "Easter egg" is a secret message, joke or screen buried in an application. Typically, Easter eggs are used to display the credits for the development team or to display a humorous message. To see an Easter egg, you need to know a special procedure...

I have added over 300 files today that came from the old Adam Resource site.

If you need to make a cable for your serial port here are the pinouts.

As I mentioned in chat the best way to try an incorporate a 3 1/2" drive into the the Adam would be to use the ADE as a base and then add the 3 1/2" arduino floppy shield and modify the code in the ADE. But at this point you may as well just stick with the microSD card and not use old technology.

I have written a utility to check if files are duplicated in the Unsorted folder and if so I can remove them. So 1105 duplicates have been removed from the archive. This was a user who basically sent me NIAD's stuff with theirs mixed in. If you look in unsorted now you will see what was mixed in.

Look for a location that always has a 1 in it.

I figured it out. For the end of a directory in EOS 7 the first unused entry is 11 nulls and ends with byte value of 1.

I have the web pages also that I will be pdf'ing and adding - they contain a lot of useful information

I’ll be working on that tomorrow

Another update I will be adding is a duplicate checker to check if incoming files are duplicates.

I have added a "Move to.." link to the files that are in the unsorted folders. If you know where a file should be moved to, click it and then let me know which folder it goes in. Thanks for helping!
