Re: DragonCoCo v1.0

Even in that position ? Do you have pics of a cart big enough that will reach that place ? :o All of the Dragon cartridge cases that I have seen take up the full width, and almost the full height of the cartridge port. Its difficult to be 100% sure, but I would say from looking at the video footage...

Re: CaChars

Now that I'm satisfied it does work on the Dragon, I released version 1.4.0:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cachars

Interesting: the cursor blinks MUCH faster on the Dragon. The only possible explanation is the KEYIN routine in the ROM is much faster. (Shame it's crap.)

Re: CaChars

Well, I managed to manually bash together a DragonDOS binary with a hex editor and these two pages: http://lwtools.projects.l-w.ca/manual/x24.html http://dragon32.info/info/binformt.html I created the disk image with DragonTools, which I got to run on CentOS 6 by compiling Mono 3.0 from sources. Cle...

Re: Linux utility for manipulating disk images (VDK or DSK)?

Did you use the DragonDos program from the DragonTools distribution to create the disk image? Yup. The DragonDos program will always copy files from the host filesystem to a DragonDos filesystem as a data file. I'll add an option to manually add a machine code or BASIC program header to the file. M...

Re: Linux utility for manipulating disk images (VDK or DSK)?

If you have a problematic file, post it here and somebody will probably figure it out pretty quickly. — Rolf Here it is. I may be just using DragonDOS commands wrong. I tried: CLEAR 500, &H6FFF LOADM"CACHARS.BIN" I also tried "LOAD" instead of "LOADM". The only thing I ever knew was DECB. Wait, BIN...

Re: Linux utility for manipulating disk images (VDK or DSK)?

DragonTools seems to work OK under Linux, with Mono 3.x. I now have another problem: The .BIN I assembled with LWTOOLS doesn't load under the Dragon (emulated in MESS). I get a ?FM ERROR.

Re: CaChars

Finally incorporated your changes. I have the most sincere illusion that the most recent version of the code should be compatible with all CoCos AND Dragons. I'm downloading the tools necesssary to create Dragon disk images as I type. I have just sent you the full source code via Email. Regards, Ste...

Re: Linux utility for manipulating disk images (VDK or DSK)?

FINALLY got around to working on this again! Yikes, Mono is no longer included in RHEL/CentOS. Have to install from sources: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13184384/mono-3-0-0-build-on-centos-6 Gonna take a looooong time building. Will update when done to tell if it worked or not. (But one way o...

Linux utility for manipulating disk images (VDK or DSK)?

For development, I've been using MESS's imgtool, and then Toolshed, but now I need to create/manipulate DragonDOS images and none of these utilities recognize them. What utilities are there available that run under Linux?
