Does anyone have any ADAM joysticks and/or software? ...or any commercial
source for them?
What to you suppose would happen if I called up Coleco?

I am getting an Adam in a couple of weeks, and I think it has some software
with it. Anything in particular or are you just looking for some software to
test it out?

New subject: Old PDP-8 Pricing
Just ran across a Rondure Company flyer where the price of a PDP-8 is listed
as $500, and the 8/L and 8/I say to call for pricing. It occurs to me that
someone living in Dallas, Tx might be able to research out the company and
with a *lot* of luck, find a list of their customers who might have bought
one. There is no date on this flyer, but the other stuff in the folder is
dated 1971. The address then was:
Rondure Company
"The Computer Room"
2522 Butler St
Dalas, Texax 75235
214-630-4621
Apparently they also sold some Carterphone stuff, and there is a copy of a
schematic with the flyer titled "Low Speed Modem, Originate Mode."

Rondure went out of business a few months ago. Had a hell of a going
out of business sale.

You'd probably get a recorded message saying the number you are calling is
no longer in service.
Unless they're still making leather products of course.

I still remember when Hasbro bought Coleco. My first thought was that if
anyone had ever written a "Transformers Meet the GoBots" script, it would
have been a good time to dust it off.

Try:
Coleco Adam's House Supporting Colecovision & Classic Games & Computers
http://www.flash.net/~coleco/main.htm
I have had no dealings with them so I don't know if they are any good.
Also be prepared to pay premium.

PG Manney,
Yes. Email me @ amirault(a)epix.net
Coleco probably would tell you to look in the Salvation Army Stores here in
the United States.
