Coleco ADAM SD DDP (Digital Data Drive)

Description

This Coleco ADAM Drive Emulator is a hardware variant of the Coleco ADAM SD DDP based on Eric Pearson’s SD DDP project that emulates ADAM Digital Data Drive (DDP). It works with all existing ADAMs and bridges the ADAM Tape 6801 to the FAT16/FAT32 file system on the SD Card. This means no software to install on the ADAM. It also acts as a single ADAM DDP drive. Because of hard coded timing in the ADAM, the SD DDP block load speed is equivalent to a real DDP. The SD DDP is a little faster at fast forwarding and rewinding.

The difference from the official project design and this version is the use of a board set that creates a unit with no exposed electronics and the ability to insert a full-sized SD card from the front panel in a professionally built unit. Other than that, it uses the exact same code and functions the same as the official project version.

Features:

• SD DDP board set
• Necessary cables

Options:

• The optional 3D-printed dummy drive bracket is for use with the non-metal version of the existing mounting bracket. Two versions of dummy drive mounting brackets exist, one with metal and one with black plastic. The existing metal bracket version is the best choice when possible for ease of installation without modifications. If the black plastic version is present, it must be replaced with a 3D-printed bracket for mounting the board set. If you prefer to print your own, you’ll need to supply two #4-40 1/4″ machine screws and washers.
