Heh heh. Not to mention that of one left a tape in the ADAM drive, it
would get demagnetized upon powerup (really!!!!).
And that part about it always being at the wrong end of the tape whenever
you wanted to load something is also something which I experienced time
and time again. The ADAM was a piece of junk (sorry ADAM fans). It's only
redeeming factor was it's keyboard, though that whole ADAMnet connection
scheme (or whatever it was called) for hooking up everything was aweful.
I still think that the Commodore Datasette cassette input/output
implementation was the best of all the micros.
