Re: Modern storage option...

Coverflow of installed tapes?

Just kidding. :D

(BTW That's not a coverflow from my iTunes library - I like Blondie but the rest... yuk)

Re: Retrospectiva Competition

Good point.

I have one idea, but it's not exactly original. It'd be great to see a Dragon program win it, so I'm hoping some of the forum folk here decide to have a crack at it as well.

Retrospectiva Competition

Don't know if you've seen this - they seem to have forgotten us Dragon folk - but there's an 8-bit competition running until April next year. http://rsp.retrocomputacion.com/ From what I can gather, it would be fine to enter Dragon stuff (and I think at least somebody should) but it'd probably be wo...

Cassette Baud...

Quick question, but I've had difficulty finding the information from Google: what's the (approximate is fine) baud rate of the Dragon 32's cassette interface?

Cheers.

Re: Dumb question: Print color

Cool. I'll have a play with those too - cheers guys.

Alastair - looks like I'll have to start reading Dragon User, I didn't realise it contained nice programming hints like that. Cheers mate.

Re: Dumb question: Print color

Drat. :) I thought everything was fixable with a machine code hack or something back in the day. :lol: I suppose the black on green gives it that special "Dragon" personality; but I'll see how much spare memory I end up with and maybe do a hi-res thing instead in.

COLOR() only seems to affect high resolution graphics and apart from that, I have no ideas. Ideally I'm lo...
