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ads, addresses, phone numbers or email contained within the issues of ECN - they are from 1984-88 and in most cases are no longer valid!!!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 Computer Fans Have Visited This Page   OTHER NEWSLETTER & FILES Nibbles & Bits (.pdf) - October 1986

ADAM NEWS  (Last updated: 1/19/10 - 1 a.m.)

Winter Cleanup! I've decided to reformat all the ECN's here, add more photos and graphics, etc...and do a general cleanup of the HTML. Back when I started this whole project, I was coding the pages with a simple text editor and had limited HTML knowledge. My knowledge has improved a little, plus I now use Microsoft FrontPage. Hopefully it won't take me another 10 years or so to finish this like it did the first time around.

***NEWS FLASH*** Steve Pitman (author of games for the ADAM such as Ghost Zapper and ADAM Bomb) has told us he is working on a new Windows front end for the ADAMem emulator. A preliminary version is now available in the downloads section.

    "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... You can produce custom images for SmartBasic and some other programs. It's coming along nicely, I still have some work to do but I should have it complete soon." The latest version is available here: ADAM Downloads.

  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 rare ADAM hardware, as well as programs and games of all kinds either as disk images for ADAMem 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.

 I'm also 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. These things are really tedious to type in and for the most part - 25 plus years later - does anyone really care?
