    I'm not too familiar with this machine and thought to look into it. Saw a youtube video, guy talking about what was wrong and right with it. I have to say, the concept is pretty decent. Computer and gaming system all in one. I know that doesn't sound unique as C64 took cartridges but this took Colecovision. Anyway, it sounds like they along with product quality issues
    and arriving at the scene a little late.. integrated tape drive it was a failure. It's too bad because like I said the concept of this machine is neat. Thoughts anyone?

    I always thought it was a cool machine, but I think hardware problems killed it.

    I just recently purchased one and installed ADE (sd storage) and just about
    all Adam and colecovision games on it. Loving it.

    That's very cool . Where did you buy your SD device?
