Re: How to?

If the emulator you are using is XRoar then where you put the ROMs depends on the platform you use. In Windows the ROMs can go in the same directory as xroar.exe for other platforms see http://www.6809.org.uk/dragon/xroar-manual.shtml#Installation. I'm no expert in cross-compiling but the topic has ...

Re: USR() routines....

Both Tim Love's Cricket by Peaksoft and Invader Cube by Oasis work on a Dragon 32 but not on a 64 so I suspect that both use USRs higher than 0.

Re: CoCo emulation

I can't get the ROM from " Color Basic v1.0 (1980)(Tandy).zip " to work either, no matter what I rename it. However the ROMs from " Color Basic v1.1 (1980)(Tandy).zip " (renamed bas11.rom ), " Color Basic v1.2 (1982)(Tandy).zip " (renamed bas12.rom ), and " Color Basic v1.3 (1982)(Tandy).zip " (you'...

Re: CoCo emulation

For the most part I just put the ROMs in the expected place, run XRoar, and use Ctrl+M to change the emulated computer and Ctrl+E, Ctrl+Shift+R to unplug/plug-in the disc ROM, rather than use a command line. From the command line example I see that you are trying to load both bas11.rom and extbas10....

Re: History of Home Computers

At the Wikipedia page for the CoCo, the following statement is made: "The Dragon 32 and 64 computers were British clones of the CoCo." Regarding the Dragon 32, there is little doubt about the cloning, ... I'm not sure how much we can trust a Wikipedia entry, as Sixxie points out both computers were...

Re: WTB Dragon and game carts

I think that ebay or similar is probably your best bet unless you want to buy a never used Tano Dragon (a Dragon 64 for the US market) from http://www.cadigital.com/computer.htm. However, if you do try the latter route you have to include p&p (~ $90), plus you will also need to find a UK power suppl...
