Important Note: While most issues are complete, portions of ECN have been edited from their original form due to length, topics or advertising that is no longer relevant to the ADAM community. These electronic reprints are for information purposes only - do not write or respond to ads, addresses, phone numbers or email contained within the issues of ECN - they are from 1984-88 and in most cases are no longer valid!!!

Basic/Logo Programs - There are a number of SmartBASIC and Logo programs listed in the above issues of ECN. Unfortunately, there are - or were - a lot of errors in these programs. This is partly due to original mistakes in ECN and partly due to the poor quality reproduction of some issues. We've done our best to make corrections, but in some cases - the programs just don't work correctly.  If anyone has working versions of some of these programs or corrected program listings - please email us a copy!

ADAM NEWS  (Last updated: 7/29/10 - 6 p.m.)

 Got Missing Software? I'm looking for ADAM software, programs and games of all kinds either as disk images for ADAMem/Virtual ADAM or on real ADAM disks. If you've got anything you'd like to share or trade (or perhaps sell), please email me at: ADAMComputer@sacnews.net. Go HERE for a list of what I am looking for.

 

NIAD One of the longest lasting and best newsletters produced for the ADAM is now online in PDF format. Every issue from January 1985 through March/April 1994 can be found by clicking on the Other Newsletters link just above this message.

 

***Virtual ADAM*** Steve Pitman (author of games for the ADAM such as Ghost Zapper and ADAM Bomb) has written a new front end for use with the ADAMem emulator. "It's a Windows graphical front-end for ADAMem that is built around DosBox. It's written in Visual Basic and makes it a great way to run ADAMem in Windows XP without any problems (like the audio), it should work in Vista also. You can run ADAMem either fullscreen or in a window. You can change ADAM peripherals, insert disks and tapes into the drives, edit disks and tapes with a decimal editor. It can separate by CP/M, EOS, Bootable, Non-Bootable, Cartridge, etc... It supports long filenames, when you highlight a title it displays notes, screenshots, a catalog of the file in the image, you can then click on the file name to open it in Windows, etc..." The latest version is available here: ADAM Downloads.

 
We have added a brand new ADAM/ColecoVision message board. Follow the link above to get there, or click here:  ADAM Message Board.

 

  All issues of ECN are now up and complete. I hope you enjoy browsing through these newsletters that were produced from 1984-88.

 I'm looking for Atari 800XL/Atari ST hardware, as well as programs, games and utilities of all kinds either as disk images or actual program disks. If you've got anything you'd like to share or trade (or perhaps sell), please email me at: ADAMComputer@sacnews.net.

 If you should happen to find any mistakes in the online editions of ECN, please notify me at the email address above. While I've tried to be careful, errors occasionally creep in, especially on the program listings where it was hard to tell "i" from "l" and "0" from "O", etc.

 Content-wise, the issues of ECN you see here are complete. The only omissions are a few of the more complex, lengthy ads and occasionally shortened user group listings. All of these can be found in their entirety in at least one issue, but not necessarily all the issues they were in. These things are really tedious to type in and for the most part - 26 plus years later - does anyone really care?
