SmartBASIC - A Coleco Adam Forum

Has this project gone in a new direction? Just wondering based on the picture of (what I think were) WiFi modules that you posted on FB a while back. My plans are to embed the WiFi inside of the AdamLink modem and to boost the AdamLink to 1200 baud. I have to dig in my storage for a driver disk for...

I’ve been tinkering with cbasic under cpm. It creates some nice code and it’s relocatable. I believe with a header file I can create a ColecoVision game using cbasic. It won’t be able to use the I/O commands (print, input) or the file commands since these rely on CPM but the rest should be usable an...

Any VDD support expected?

Having a baby has cut into my coding time but she is worth it and I’m starting to slowly get more time to code. I’m hoping to have a beta out in the next month.

Very nice!

If you are using the ADE you can use 256k data pack images (.ddp) so you have the option of 256k drives under CPM too.

Never Mind I figured it out

Still really stoked to have this setup though. I've got a 720K CP/M 2.2 boot disk with lots of room left for utilities and I can mount a 720K data disk for my work. I don't have a hard drive, so this is a pretty good arrangement for me! Using which one? Was this with the emulator? How did you forma...

Using which one? Was this with the emulator? Using ABP25 on my real ADAM. Bonus: On the real hardware I had no trouble accessing the tape drive and copying between disk and tape. :) So I assume you have a 3 1/2" disk drive for the adam? I just reread what you posted before and see you are using a A...

Did you try to get a copy of NEWCCP working?

No, I haven't tried that yet. Have you?

I'm trying to figure it out - the instructions are not very good - will see what I can do
