Terry H: Hello Harvie Harvie: Hello there Terry H: I am new here. Trying to get back into the ADAM Harvie: I thought I have talked to you before Terry H: You may have, but I have only been on the group for about 4 times now. Harvie: I haven't been on for a couple of weeks Terry H: Where are you located? Harvie: Brampton Ontario, Canada Harvie: And you? Terry H: I am in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Terry H: Do you do much with your ADAM? Harvie: Not much any more Terry H: I dragged mine out a couple of months ago and started getting back into it. It is still a lot of fun. Harvie: I used to use T-Dos, for invoicing and book keeping programs Terry H: Sounds interesting. I just used mine for games and the adam filer, and the recipe program. Terry H: be right back, wife calling.... Harvie: T-Dos is a rewrite of C/PM for the ADAM Terry H: i have the C/PM, is T-DOS a newer version? Harvie: T-Dos was written by Tony Morehen, It is an improvement of C/PM Terry H: Is it still available some where? Harvie: I believe it is free Harvie: I probably have a copy somewhere Terry H: would you know where I could get a copy? Harvie: I think Bob Slopsema might have it on his website, or Dr. Richard Drushel Harvie: I'm surprised that these people are not on line now Terry H: Thanks, I will see what I can find. Terry H: I know, By the time i get on there have been several already on line... Terry H: I found a hard drive card and am going to try to get a hard drive hooked up to the ADAM in the near future. Harvie: If you give me your e-mail address I can find a copy and send it as an attachment Terry H: THanks, the email is terry266@yahoo.com Harvie: Got it Terry, mine is hpowis@tamcotec.com Terry H: Thanks, I will add this to my address book. Terry H: Have you been part of theis group for a while? Harvie: A couple of years Harvie: Be right back

changed username to Daniel Bienvenu Daniel Bienvenu: Hello! Daniel Bienvenu: Where are everyone? Terry H: So Guy, being the new kid on the block, do you still have strong feelings about the ADAM? Guy B.: Hi Daniel Terry H: Hi Daniel Guy B.: Still do. In fact, I'm using the Adam Emulator with Powerpaint in designing a cover page for my new movie collection. Terry H: that sound like fun.. Guy B.: Then when I'm done, I'll transfer the image back to an Adam disk to print. Terry H: not familure with the Adam Emulator... Daniel Bienvenu: interresting! Terry H: By emulator, it must run on a intel system.. Guy B.: Adam Emulator is a program for the PC that can run Adam software. Marcel deKogel from The Netherlands wrote this back several years ago. Terry H: interesting..research on my part is needed I see.... Daniel Bienvenu: I think the last update for adamem was 1997 or 1998 Guy B.: I have an AMD processor and the emultor would not work with Windows 98, but in MS-DOS mode. Works fine with Intel processors with any version of Windows. Guy B.: 1999 was the last update Daniel. Terry H: Found it. Downloading files now. Will look at it later this week. Daniel Bienvenu: ok, 1998 was the last date for the release of his coleco library... Terry H: Does anyone have any information on upgrading a floppy to 360k? Guy B.: Great, don't forget to download the utilities too. My site has documentation on the utilities. Marcel nver provided anything on those, but he did for the emulator. Terry H: Great thanks. Guy B.: For use with an Adam? Terry H: yes Terry H: Guy, I was telling Harvie taht I was going to try to add a hard drive to the ADAM. That should be an interesting task. Guy B.: One time, there was a 360K floppy drive that was done by some company. Can't recall who it was, but not many were made. 160K standard Adam was the most popular then the 320K Eve drive which I have in addition to a standard Adam disk drive.

james left chat session Terry H: Has everyone had a nice holiday so far? Daniel Bienvenu: here, it's a period of big stress each year Guy B.: That can be a problem. I wondering that myself. Maybe he's somewhere else tonight. Terry H: Probably gettin some last second work done. Guy B.: Mine went very well. My cousin's wife hosted Thanksgiving for the first time and everything was good. Terry H: I was at my grandfahers in Pa. Went well. met family I did not know I had.. Guy B.: Now that's a nice surprise there. Daniel Bienvenu: Someone in my familly asked for pictures to do a cd-rom about our family. I have to scan and manually clean up each picture my mother want to add in the cd-rom. She don't want to see a bad picture of her in the cd-rom. A nice cd-rom idea but a lot of work and stress Daniel Bienvenu: having no control of a project, it's stressful Terry H: you are not kidding. My wife is harping on me to get one togeather. Guy B.: Indeed Daniel. Here in Chicago, our L system decorated 6 cars with lights and Santa's sleigh. I toook some photos of the train and used Photosuite to enhance the photos, since two of them I forgot to set on the flash. Daniel Bienvenu: I had to modify colors of some old picture, mostly all red or all yellow. Terry H: Some of them scared the pixels off the film so a lot did not turn out.... Daniel Bienvenu: And because of the particules of dust and scratches, I have to redraw some parts of each picture Terry H: of course, it would have helped if I had removed the lens cap..... Terry H: Daniel, that could be an interesting task Guy B.: I'm hoping to get a new digital camera for Christmas. The one I have is only 2.0 megapixals and they have better ones out there. Daniel Bienvenu: Some pictures was in a bad condition, I just looked at my mother to let her know that I can't do miracles. Daniel Bienvenu: very bad condition Terry H: You have a good one. I am still using a 1 megapix unit. Daniel Bienvenu: My digital camera is 1.3 megapixels, a fujifilm Daniel Bienvenu: I restored pictures from 1970s and before Guy B.: I got it at Officemax two years ago for $69. I've added a memory card, since the camera had 8mb built in. And with a media card you can take more shots. Guy B.: This one is a Visioneer. Daniel Bienvenu: In fact the only pictures I didn'T restored was the one made with the digital camera
