SmartBASIC - A Coleco Adam Forum

Has anyone done this? I think I may give it a shot - I have a max232 floating around but maybe it isn't necessary if I connect directly to a TTL device.

Hi all Can anyone explain to me what the important differences are between sprites and shapes in SmartBASIC? Are there performance advantages to one over the other or does it simply come down to how they're stored in memory (bitmap vs vector)? I am not sure if SmartBasic uses the sprites to impleme...

While searching around for some Adam info unrelated to this Easter egg I just happened to come across This Week With My Coleco ADAM 9710.20 .

I don't have enough experience programming for either OS yet (working on it though!) so unfortunately I can't offer a recommendation but I do have a related question: With CP/M and TDOS when you boot you are greeted with a command prompt. What does it mean to boot into EOS or is that something you ...

If you use assembly then you have very little constraints under CP/M. Also you have the option of using Turbo Pascal with the graphics, sound and controller extensions I developed for it, thus giving you a powerful development tool which is very easy to work with. Finally CP/M is a full OS with mat...

I have waffled back and forth over which OS I should develop under, EOS or CP/M. I like CP/M because it is a complete OS but I also like EOS because it allows me to do more, I am not confined by the artificial constraints that CP/M has due to it being used on different types of hardware. What are yo...

Was there ever any hardware dongles created for the Adam to try and combat piracy?
