The two computers (a 32 and a 64) seem to work just fine, slightly tarnished cartridge contacts and without an standard rf cable anywhere (w...

Re: DOS nightmares

I was going to look at that formula last night to make sense of it - quite glad someone has done the work for me :) Instead I had to reattach a radiator to a wall and find a wiring fault on my car, not exactly the most enjoyable of pass times... All I was aiming to achieve was a replacement for the ...

Re: DOS nightmares

To sort of answer my own question I did just find some relevant code here http://www.grempc.demon.co.uk/dragon/pc/ but only for reading and extracting from disks, not adding to them...

DOS nightmares

After my previous request for help on finding the right tools I am now happily building and compiling code outside of a Dragon environment, I'm also sort of happily compiling it inside of a Dragon environment too but it is driving me nuts and the stability of the emulator snapshots seems a little qu...

Re: How to?

No matter - a few minutes with a hex editor extracted all of the command line parameters being used.

Re: How to?

Thank you so much! I managed to get DragonDos1 to boot through Mess last night but it kept crashing out whenever I tried reading any disks and it wouldn't always boot for some bizarre reason that I couldn't identify. Hopefully this will be a bit more reliable :) Out of curiosity what are you doing w...

Re: How to?

The manual is rather obtuse unfortunately but I have had some success with xroar. I can see the roms are getting loaded but it never seems to do anything with them.
