Hey, I just recently discovered a brand new never used Coleco Adam 5 1/4 external drive in my attic.. now I don't have a Coleco anymore.. is there anyway this would work with my A1000 or my PC? Or is the hardware just too different from either.

I discovered something by taking the thing apart. The drive is nothing more than a standard internal IBM 5 1/4 drive in a box. Coleco attached it to a board underneath it called their "Controller/Power Supply" with a standard FDD cable / power supply cable! Take it out of the box and put it in a PC and it works normally like any other.
