To make it worse, the damned power supplies in the Adam printers are
like a small scale EMP (Electro-magnet Pulse) Generator.... any media
near it is bulk erased when you power on. To add insult to injury -
the power plug is also proprietary. I love the Adam Computers for
what they promised, but hate them for how they short changed everyone
looking forward to them when they came out. Hence the 1983(?) cover of
Videogaming & Computing Magazine that had a big red mushroom cloud with
an Adam in the middle of it with the title "Adam Bomb"

Dunno. There are so many ebay sellers not
willing to ship something
overseas...I think there must be something impeding them, don't now what.
Less profit margin???
BTW was the Adam the computer system with the cassete I/O and the
cleap daisy wheel printer?
