"Ordinary audio cassettes cannot be used, they are not of sufficient quality to reliably store computer data.
Coleco sold high quality tapes specifically made for the Adam, capable of withstanding the high-speed 20 ips (inches per second) read/write and 80 ips rewind speeds.
SmartBASIC is one of many applications and games available on "Adam High Speed Digital Data Pack".
The Adam also has a cartridge slot on top to accept and play all ColecoVision game cartridges. "

One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. I have currently have eleven different Atari-models, three from Commodore and one other model in my collection.
This is my Atari 1040 STF, the second Atari I got. I bought it second hand in 1992 - 1993. It is upgraded to 2.5 MB RAM and it came with a Megafile 30, a harddisk with a whopping 30 MB capacity. It was my main computer for many years, I was using the other for running a BBS called "The Dark Side of the Moon".
This is a advert for the "Cascade Cassette 50" games collection. Personally I think this was one of the worse games collection ever released!
I scanned this advert from the "Computing with the Amstrad" magazine Vol.2 No.1 January 1986.

One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. I have currently have eleven different Atari-models, three from Commodore and one other model in my collection.
The Atari Stacy was Atari's first attempt at building an portable computer based on the Atari ST. It it the market in the end of 1989.
In 2011 I was looking to buy an Atari TT, inspired by a friend who just bought a Commodore SX64, a portable Commodore 64, which was kind of his dream computer. The TT was the computer I always dreamt about owning, so now I was searching Ebay and other places for one.
At the same time as I the TT I was going to buy on Ebay, there was an Atari Stacy for sale on Ebay as well, located in Stockholm. As this is a quite rare model as well, I thought it could be worth to try to win the action, and luckily I did.
My friend who bought the SX64 picked it up for me in Stockholm. The seller told him he was glad I won it, I was bidding against someone from South America, so the seller worried about how he would pack it and ship it.
This Stacy is pretty battered and well used, it has been used for what the Atari ST is best known for, it's MIDI-capabilities. The floppy drive was replaced and not working very well, and the 20MB hard drive was just making lots of noise. The ASCI-port and the internal SCSI-adapter seems broken as well, and the back light, which is known for it's limited life span, is barely working. Some keys on the keyboard isn't working due to a broken connection, but still it has one of the nicest keyboards I've ever used.
I've replaced the floppy and removed the hard disk (it had leaked some gooey fluid too all over the internals of the computer). I'm thinking of replacing the backlight with a modern LED backlight.
Don't know why I took a photo of this. Maybe caus im proud it worked first time.
