Information on the ADAM computer

Glen, I have been an ADAMphile for some 20 yrs. The best information on my favorite orphan computer can be found at mailman at adamcon.org The ADAM community thrives today. Computing forever!

It's in pretty good shape, including the printer/power supply, main unit, two hand controllers and keyboard. BUT -- no software or manuals. On power-up, it kicks into typewriter mode. Pushing the right-hand reset button puts it into Colecovision "game" mode. How do I get to the operating system in this beast? Any pointers to a user manual on the 'Net? Parts of the tech manual are available, but the EOS ("elemenatry operating system") portion appears to be missing. Any help, pointers, magic incantations greatly appreciated. Glen 0/0
