ADAM System Final Test Module

Post by admin »

IS there any updated thoughts out there as to what the ADAM Final Test Module" Does?

It was initially un defined by those that acquiredthe 2 units on eBay a few years back.

Then the latest thouts in 2010 were:
Jr. (of Colecovisionzone.com) has one of these ADAM proto module and came to my house 2 hours ago with the ADAM proto #6
which the pictures you see in the first post by retroillucid.

First, Jr. discussed this at the last CCJVQ meeting with me and Daniel (newcoleco) and newcoleco said that he thinks that is a Tape Simulator.
Well, Newcoleco huch was right! It is a Tape Simulator module.
The RS-232 connector is for transfering Super Games in it and to test them on a ordinary Colecovision.
The ADAMlink connector is to connect a keyboard so you can play any Super Games.

There is an Eprom with the sticker "TapeSim" on it, which I deduct that is a modified BIOS or not-modified BIOS of the ADAM.
But before I can dump the content of the EPROM, i need some informations that are not found on the net.
The EPROM is a Motorola SC88091L / CD48337 and the VPP = 22-24Volts.
If anyone has infos on the SC88091L, please let me know so i can dump properly the content of the EPROM.

For now, these are all speculations until we're able to dump the EPROM, just hoping that nothing is erased in it.

The poor thing was not stored properly. I hope the internals look better than the outside.
