Hopefully when you converted it to DragonDOS / SuperDOS you used the official entry points by using the jump table at $c003?

Do you have the source for this as it would be usefull to port it to work with DragonMMC.

Hi all,

Cheers for the comments.

Something my beta tester pointed out was that keeping the board the current size gives me room to add a real time clock, just ordered the bits to do some development with this.

Cheers.

Hi all, I'm debating if I should shrink the DragonMMC board as much as I can, currently the board is 100x155mm (measuring by the furthest apart edges). This is exactly the correct size to fit in a DragonDos cartridge case. By shuffling components I can get this down to 100x130mm which is about an in...

Hi Phill, glad to hear about your project again! Talking about autorun CAS files, there are some that load a small amount of code (in the hooks area) that autoruns and then it controls the needed data-code blocks to be loaded. I assume that this will work too, unless they use internal non std ROM c...

Yep that's there, set by a config option, actually not a specific cas file but a basic program saved on the FAT with MSAVE.

Cheers.

Hi all, Just a little progress report for where I'm at with this project. Hardware is pretty much stable now, I'll need to do another minor revision before going gold as it where but that's mainly to tidy things up so the final board doesn't have patch wires on it...... Software is now working fairl...

Just my 2p..... There is no reason why the Dragon cannot use Banked carts, I have implemented a pretty simple cart with a 29xx040 Flash rom and an XC9536 CPLD that gave me the ability to load 16K, or 8K images into it. Simon has one of these that he uses at the RCM events. I also developed firmware ...

The attached version of DragonDOS (v5.0) was a work in progress project by Steve Woolham. He recently had problems with a hard drive failing and lost all of the source code and notes. Evey time I hear this (or something like it), I kinda think, this is a lesson we should have learned back in the 80...

Hi all,

Is there anywhere a list of all the bugs (and portential fixes), in Dragon DOS & Super DOS.

I did try doing a forum search but it tells me that the terms 'dragondos' and 'dos' are too common and couldn't be used to search on which wasn't very helpful.....

Cheers.

Has anyone managed to get a good dump of the 82s147 PROM ?

I have a plus board where this has failed, would be good to replace it sometime.

Cheers.
