Hi

I've just put pictures on my website about the Colecovision Prototype Computer System.

I now want to know about any of you know the story behind this project.

I would also like to know about the story, and if you will share with me so I can publish it on colecovision.dk

I would like to know if I'm the only one who has published these pictures publicly with permission from the owner.

Very nice design. It resembles an 800XL plugged into a Colecovision. Much better than what Coleco eventually released as the Adam.

Agreed. It really looks like an MSX add-on. This is what Coleco should have released.

Ah, the "mythical" add-a-keyboard on a colecovision to make it into a computer. Then they came out with the Adam. They should've stuck to their original idea, I think. Notice the printer is NOT powering the computer!

That could have been very successful for Coleco for 1983 if it took off. Then of course that design would never have been final until all the bugs have been worked out.
