Good thing I did not say another run would never be made again.

 

The Adam Keyboard USB Interfaces is available again. I do not have many available but, should be enough for those that have shown interest.

 

Please visit: http://intellivision.us/interface.php

 

The Adam keyboard interface board is $85 which includes shipping in the U.S.

I have not checked for shipping outside the U.S.

Last I looked, it was around $25-$30 to Canada and around $40 to Europe.

If you are interested in this, please contact me directly.

I have one of these from way back.  2013 version.

I wanted to get the updated 2018 but they only accept paypal which I don't use anymore due to security reasons.

I will say that even the 2013 version still works great even till now.

I would accept other forms of payment.

 

I think you may be referring to the Ultimate PC Interface which support Intellivision, Colecovision, and other controllers. This interface is for the Adam keyboard which I started selling around 2016.

I guess I am, I clicked on the link you provided and that is what popped up.

Me thinking keyboard was the intellivision keyboard.

Question about the 2013 version of the PC interface.

I updated mine about an hour ago as per instructions with the 2018-03-28.hex

It works as far as I know but now the internal LED just flashes when it used to be a steady light.

Did I do something wrong?

Opps.... I had the wrong link on my post. Sorry about that. The right link is:

On the Ultimate Interface, quickly flashing LED should mean it is in programmable mode. Please contact me directly if it is not working. If it is working, then you are set

It updated, I just can't get it to stop flashing.
I'll try grounding the pins again but there was nothing in the instructions after program/verify other than disconnect and close the case.

As far as the newer version All I needed it for was maybe better performance but more for the Atari 2600 Paddles for game development.
The older version does not work with them.

 

 

 

 

edit:

After checking again.

It flashes rapidly  when entering programing mode.

Now it flashes just at a slower pace.

I have to follow instructions for the HIDBOOTLOADER program to work by grounding the pin.

That tells me that it is not in programing mode and Windows has it show up but it is no longer functioning.

 

edit2:

 

Was finally able to get it to work with "2013-04-01.hex"  Tested all others and nothing but rapid flashing.

Now it flashes at a much slower rate but it does work.  I do not know if this is normal behavior.

Maybe I have an older model?

 

 

Which is neither here nor there and I know this is not your tech support channel.

However, as long as it is back working is the priority until I upgrade.

But, none of the other firmware works with what I have.

I created a quick simple case design for this if anyone is interested and has a 3D printer.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!

 

I am going to try to get some printed up. THANK YOU for putting this out there. If I sell any more interfaces, I hope to make printed cases available to them.

 

[intvdave]

I printed up some cases if anyone needs one. Information for the cases will be added to:

 

http://intellivision.us/adam_intfc.php

 

The cases are black. I will have the screw for them also.

[intvdave]

Black cases are in hand and ready to ship with any order!

[intvdave]

The interfaces have sold out. Long Live the Adam Keyboard!
