Found a Coleco Adam on the weekend. It's a bit odd in that it has NO tape drives. It does not look as if one was removed - there are filler plates in both tape compartments which look original. System works - powers up in the Adam work processor, you can enter text and print it, but obviously there's no way to save. So it's essentially a storageless word processor. Every other Adam I've seen has at least one Tape unit, and all references I've located on the web list it as coming with one tape unit as standard equipment. Anyone know if there were any variations of the Adam which were sold without any tape units at all?
