Hello again! Commodore, I don't know of any one currently selling adapters for a reasonable price - I have found an ebay seller selling a pair of adapters for £44.99 - so below I give links to instructions for creating adapters. These adapters are plug-in adapters so you will not have to take your s...

If you are using MS Windows you can always use the FOR command to automate any instruction - type FOR /? for instructions. In the case of using DC and assuming that all of the .CAS files and DC.EXE are in the same directory, and that you are using a 32-bit version of Windows, then CDing to that dire...

In addition to all of the advice given above another thing to watch out for is automatic gain.

The link below is to the instructions on how to switc...

I'm not sure if the 100 and 300 warrant a page each. Perhaps there should be a new page titled "Other Dragons" or "Unconfirmed Dragons" and the 100, 300, and any other mystery Dragon be placed on this page until such time as we have enough information about a model to move it to a separate page.

You could try fast-forwarding and rewinding a tape a few times to see if that helps with the aligning of the tape with the tape head and guides. Otherwise it may well be a case of adjusting volume, tone, and other sound settings to find something that works.
