The NitrOS9 toolshed suite can read and write files to OS9 and RSdos disks, it is command line driven but is pretty flexable. Instructions to download and build are here : http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/nitros9/index.php?title=Building_NitrOS9_in_Windows_using_Cygwin Though I'm sure that ther...

Hey, Phill, I have an Indigo2 machine at home but I need a SCSI CD-Rom drive and a VGA adapter, do you have any of these by any chance? I got the Irix images from the Irix support website but they contain only the files, no ISO or similar. Do you know if I can burn the files into a CD and install t...

Looking for everything at this stage - already have a load on SUN Sparc kit, a load of Apple Macintosh (both 68K and PPC) so SGI would sit nicely with that lot... Having time to do something with it is a challenge right now. Its not uncommon for people to donate stuff that doesn't work - We do have...

Are they just looking for home computers / consoles or would anything be accepted. I have way too many SGI machines and I'm sure I could donate one, would come with disk with os installed, keyboard and mouse but alas no monitor. I'm sure I have some other stuff too.....anyone want a C64 :) Cheers. P...

Hi Chris,

Would this happen to be the dual drive I just bought from you on ebay ?

If so you'll be happy to know I have got them working, seemed one of the drives did have a stuck read-write head positioning motor, freeing that up seems to have restored them to working condition.

Cheers.

Phill.

The Hitachi 63x09E is a direct pin-for-pin replacement for the 6809E found in the Dragon 32 and 64. Besides being a CMOS chip, which runs much cooler than the 6809E, the Hitachi 63x09E also contains an enhanced instruction set and additional CPU registers that bring significant performance beyond w...

These of course also work on the CoCo 1 and 2 not sure about the CoCo 3.

Pressing reset will also cancel them and return the machine to it's default slow mode.

I would like to do some programming on the machine and know Spectrum basic extremely well and have also used BBC and HiSoft basic in the past. How does the Basic on the Dragon compare? Spectrum Basic is from the same era and is quite similar (in spirit) to the Dragon's Basic. There are differences,...

Hey, if you get that 3.5" drive working, please upload some pictures. I think it's quite an interesting mod. 3.5" drive should just work, nothing special needed for connecting to a Dragon, unlike some machines that need a ready signal on pin 34 (Spectrum +3, Amstrad etc). I primerraly use 3.5"s on ...
