Bonjour Yoruk, and welcome to the site. "?FM error" usually means that you either tried to load a BASIC program with CLOADM or a machine code program with CLOAD, so it may be that you used the wrong command to load the program. In fact the instructions in README.DWHDBDOS state that you have to do a ...

The thread you link to is a discussion about replacing the internal power board of the Dragon with the Voltek SPEC7188B, and in doing so removing the need for an external power supply. If you would rather not hack the internals of a Dragon but instead prefer to build ...

If any one completes 'Ring of Darkness', or 'Return of the Ring'.. I still have copies of the special poster and certificates of completion stashed away.. some paren...
