Thanks to enterprising hardware hacker, Rey Lopez, there is now a new replacement for the Coleco Adam’s power supply, which, if you’re unaware, was placed inside its enormous printer. Many modern users of the Coleco Adam, such as myself, have typically pulled the power supply out of the Adam’s printer and put it in a makeshift hobby box. While this worked just fine, the power supply was still quite large, still quite heavy, and not exactly\u00a0the ideal\u00a0solution for continuing to power the computer. A typical alternative to this approach has been modifying an arcade or PC power supply, an approach that Lopez takes with his\u00a0Memory Console Power Supply<\/strong>. It’s light, has a reasonably quiet fan, and looks rather professional, including its\u00a0custom label. You can inquire about the possibility of getting your own power supply from Lopez’s thread on AtariAge<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"My<\/a>

My power supply next to a customized original ColecoVision controller for size comparison. Despite a scratch near the top rear of the power supply, I’m quite happy with how it turned out.<\/p><\/div>\n

Despite issues with the first revision of this product – which Lopez addressed quickly, including for me\u00a0– the latest revision has passed all tests on my fully populated Coleco Adam. This will definitely be my new go-to power supply.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The power supply has a smooth\u00a0on\/off switch with a modest indicator light. As for my quick test setup, let’s just say I set up where and with what was most convenient.<\/p><\/div>\n
