Rekindle the love you had for your Adam keyboard without the need for the printer or console by using the Adam Keyboard PC Interface! In 1983, I purchased a Coleco Adam Computer and fell in love with keyboard. After all these years, I missed my Adam keyboard and wanted a way to use it again without the printer and console. In 2015, the necessary components to have this interface made just came together allowing me to use an Adam keyboard again! The Adam Keyboard Interface is simply a device that allows you to connect the keyboard to a PC, Mac, or Raspberry computer. The computer will see the keyboard as an HID (human interface device). There are no software drivers required; plug and play! The special keyboard keys such as WILD CARD and UNDO are mapped to common computer keys (documented below). This configuration allows you to use the keyboard as a normal keyboard and in emulation.
