In Topic: The Official "Super Expansion Module" Thread

Yesterday, 11:35 AM

Got a stomach virus yesterday. Couldn't do much except laying in bed...
Feeling much better today, so back to work.
I will be working on the SGM catalog today, so I can send Dale all the material related to the SGM.

Actually, Actually, I originally saw PixelBoy's mention of trying to use the ADAM AutoDialer in post between the two of you. Since I had an extra one, I figured you'd get more use out of it than me and I also must admit... I was hoping that it would speed up the completion of the SGM and DKA. Which it seems to have done!!!

Really? I don't remember Luc suggesting me the Auto Dialer. But then it is quite possible I wasn't paying attention... ;)

Cool. I have one of those ADAM dialers from eColeco but never took it out of the box (it’s still sealed). I think your use of the auto dialer as the basis for the SGM case was brilliant; you can't get any more "retro" on the design than basing it off something that actually existed. Nice work.

Actually using that case was NIAD's idea, as I had never seen an auto dialer before. But I agree, I think we were very fortunate that Coleco ever created that case.

Got the first rough quote this morning, not too bad. So I believe the SGM is a go... :)

Will the module have legs or feet as it looks to be "floating" in this picture (I know it’s not your final product). Just wondering since it looks like it just hangs onto the expansion port connection, which I would think would be bad in the long term.

It has a single leg. The expansion port on the ADAM follows the same specs as the CV, so modules can fit the same on both.
