I like my Coleco ADAM, but then I like my ColecoVision. What I don’t like about the ADAM is the need to power the printer, to power the computer. End result, the ColecoVision is setup, not the ADAM. From what I saw last weekend at Portland Retro Game Expo, the 8-bit Atari folks have a new motherboard that they can plug their old chips into. Zane
