PC In A Coleco ADAM
« on: March 29, 2005, 06:35:38 pm »
All this talk about PC's in consoles as got me excited.  I want to take my ADAM Computer and put a PC in it but I need suggestions as to what Motherboard I should use.  And I need to know if any motherboards come with built in SVIDEO support.  I would like to avoid putting in a Video card if I could help it for Space reasons.  Any suggestions would be most appreciated!  Thanks

you could always get a mobo with onboard video and sound... no need for a video or sound card then.  I DO think some mobos have an SVideo port, but I'm not positive.

You might also scan ebay to see if you can pick up an s-video equipped laptop with a busted screen.

I remember playing Dragon's Lair on my ADAM  :)
I thought that cassette tape was so cool.

Look for a Shuttle SFF mobo.  They are almost as small as the mini-itx form factor, but they support P4/Athlon/A64s and some have integrated video.
