Hi, these are the two discs I have found One of them contains the Compusense go80 and the other seems a normal OS-9 boot disk Cannot verify anything ... waiting for John Whitworth's work to end and have the good chance to buy one of these items to remember those times :-) good luck with your tests! ...

Hi Tony, thinking about that, Clearly there are two kind of 'width' implementations, - One related to the graphic PMODE4, so being able to cope with go40, go51 and not sure if (for OS-9) anybody did a go64 which would be the maximum. - The other is pure text related as the go32 but this will imply m...

Hi Tony, I dont know if this could be of help .. Back in the 80's I bought this module and used it with the std OS-9 applications once you switched to "go80", all of them worked fine. The only 'need' was to have an old style TV to be able to see the 80 columns on screen If I remember correct, the Wo...

Thanks Tony, it was about time to re-use old developments! I did the conversion of the disk routines for the Dragon and modified the keyboard too, but the control of the print-out for the 64 columns mode was almost as simple as a 'copy-paste' of Ed Snider's work for the CoCo version! I just added a ...

Hi,
I have this book, but unfortunately there are no chances for me to be there
Hope you will tell us how this goes ... photos, videos as usual!

thanks

Hello, as I had programmed for my own use a small editor to create screens in mode text (SG4) for instance for the credits of The Hobbit, I decided to modify it a bit so that it could be of use with the CoCo-VGA module in the new text mode 64 cols x 32 lines I attach here an VDK that contains these ...

Hello, I have been playing a bit with some of the adventures and don't like the way they end when you "QUIT" the game ... the program simply loops forcing the user to power off and on again because most of the time reset does nothing! In case you have a Tano, it is worst as you have to unplug and pl...

Sounds interesting. Are the details available on the wiki? Hi Alastair, the mod I made in my Dragon 32 that has half-good RAM chips, can be found in a preliminary document by R.W.Hall, National Dragon Users Group entitled "Upgrading Dragon 32s to 64k of RAM" (I am attaching it here) The part that e...

I am putting together manuals, invisiclues and walkthroughs for every adventure to help users to finish these adventure games. As soon as I have that work completed, I will upload them here. Ahem. There are The Infocom Documentation Project and The Classic Adventures Solution Archive to name but tw...

Pere, I take my hat off to you. If only I had a Dragon 64. Thanks Alastair, the original games were made that way ... they use as much RAM as possible, but if you like these text adventure series, you could use any emulator (XRoar, Mess/Mame) and have a nice time with everyone of them. I am putting...
