Re: XRoar "Enjoy Defender on the CoCo 3" Pico project

Huh, thanks (tcdev) for the thread necromancy there as I'd completely missed this post, and that looks excellent!

Next you (wayland) need to interface that to a real CoCo 3 ;) Just a shame they use that horrible flimsy mylar for the keyboard connector...

Re: XRoar - WD2797

I was trying to read a track at once using the command apparently supported by the controller inside the Dragon (WD2797) but I cannot get it to work.

Re: XRoar 1.5 released

Re: Finally tested 256K

Ciaran - do you have a copy of the J&R Banker software that they included with their 256K and 512K banker boards? If not, Ken Waters (Canadian Retro Things) has copies of them. I think it even came with OS9 Level 1 RAM disk drivers for it. I don't, though I see the disk on colorcomputerarchive. Unf...

Finally tested 256K

Re: XRoar 1.5 released

As promised, there's 1.5.1 - crash bug fixed, and there's a little built-in list of "special" cartridges to smooth things over for CoCo 3 users.

Re: XRoar 1.5 released
