Saw this Coleco Adam with keyboard and printer (which is also the power supply) for just $50 earlier today, but I simply do not have the space for it. Someone later bought it for $25, which is a great deal if it can be brought back to life.
A neat and weird machine.
User Documentation for the #FujiNet #WiFi Adapter for #retrocomputing and #retrogaming systems is starting to appear, thanks to the hard work of Ben Krein, and others.
#FujiNet - a WiFi Adapter for many #retrocomputing and #retrogaming systems. Coming soon for #MSX.
Also for #Atari8bit, #Apple2, #ColecoAdam, #TRS80CoCo, #MSDOS, #Commodore, and more.
There is now an integration test suite for #FujiNet which runs on:
* #ColecoAdam
* #AppleII
* #Atari8Bit
* #TRS80CoCo
* #MSDOS
Still need to do #C64, but I'm going to need a lot of encouragement to tackle that.

Armed with nothing more than a blinking cursor, I build an inventory system for my failing software retail shop (just play along with me here). I also explore #cpm add-on options for the #apple2 #c128 #colecoadam and others, and whoops! Did I accidentally become a #dbase programmer in the process?
I think I'm making some progress on AdamNet stability on the FujiNet. I've been booted into CP/M for over an hour while trying to debug an application, constantly loading my program from FN disk and then dropping back to the A> prompt, and I haven't had to hit reset once.

The 5 stages of ~~grief~~ AdamNet
1. The existential question: do I exist?
2. Are you ready for a purpose?
3. Your purpose is to fetch data.
4. Have you filled out your reports?
5. Please turn in your homework.

Put together a Python script to decode the capture into AdamNet packets. It prints the timestamp in µs, the offset from previous packet as +µs, the command byte, decoded command name & device along with direction arrow. If there was any data in the packet then it is decoded and printed as both a hex dump and the decoded fields. I love how the endianness varies between packet types. Sometimes it's little endian, sometimes big.
