SmartWRITER Revision 84 - Unreleased Prototype

There are five files contained in this archive. The four *.DAT files are the dumped eprom images that are useless to the average user in this state. The final file is a *.ROM file that can immediately be used by any ADAM Emulator such as ADAMem, Virtual ADAM or MESS. You will have to rename to WP.ROM and place in the ADAMem directory to use in ADAMem or Virtual ADAM. To use in M.E.S.S. you will have to place in the ADAM.ZIP BIOS file in the ROMS directory. Remember to rename the your existing WP.ROM file (which is Revision 80) so as not to overwrite it.


EPROMS:
SmartWRITER R84 - (AH84-1).DAT
SmartWRITER R84 - (AH84-2).DAT
SmartWRITER R84 - (AH84-3).DAT
SmartWRITER R84 - (AH84-3-4).DAT


MERGED ROM FILE:
SmartWRITER R84 - (AH84).ROM


This looks to be a finished replacement for Revision 80 (the last revision installed in ADAM's that were sold), as far as we know, the sound bug and the memory full bug are fixed in this revision, there may be other changes and fixes that we don't know of yet. It does not include Revision 81's new features though. For further information on these chipsets, go to Joe Blenkle's ADAM Computer System Website at the following address and read Issue#96 March/April '94 of the N.I.A.D. Newsletter which is available in PDF format.

Many thanks go out to Doug Rosenvinge, who came across these eproms from a former Coleco employee and Jim Walters of Walters Software Co. for dumping the eproms and merging them into a useable ROM file.
