LOMAC Adam Reference Manual

[falter]

I picked this up last week. I've not had much luck finding Lomac documentation and was curious how their 'plain language' programming system worked. This book for the Adam seems to explain it. Is this of value to the community? I didn't see it on bitsavers or anywhere.. I can scan it and upload wherever it might be most useful.

Hi,
I am very interested in this manual. Years ago I got the CPU of this computer and I am especially interested in the parts related to the description of the hardware and the startup of the computer.
Have you scanned it yet?
From my point of view bitsavers is a good place to preserve this document.

I got the manual today. There's unfortunately no much about hardware in it, apart from how to power it on.. no schematics, etc - which is fine for my purposes as I really wanted to learn more about how the 'operating system' or such worked. It's definitely interesting although not quite as magically 'plain language' as a layman might think - seems more like a slightly friendlier BASIC.

I don't see this info archived anywhere so I will scan it - I'm not sure of the process of getting it to bitsavers?

Does anyone know if the software is archived somewhere? I've reached out to John Peers in the hope that maybe he'd have some info. 50 years later, probably not, but he's my best hope I think. I'd be cool to build an emulator that runs this.
