Re: new retro computing magazine

So this is a North American publication and their first article is "Dragon 32: How to Make Friends and Influence People in the 1980s"?

I'm stunned.

Re: Modern storage options?

For more information about OS-9, or rather a modern "OS-9 compatible" operating system, you should check out NitrOS-9 at http://www.nitros9.org/

There is also loads of OS-9 stuff (too much for a cursory glance to see if anything is relevant) at ftp://www.rtsi.com/OS9/

Re: Modern storage options?

There's an article on pages 12 and 13 of the August 1988 issue of Dragon User that may be of some interest: it deals with OS-9 and hard drives. In the unlikely event that you do not possess a copy of this issue you should download "DragonUser_0888.pdf" from http://archive.worldofdragon.org/archive/i...

Re: Help Rescuing Tapes

I'd just like to point out that I have now tested the archive's copy of the Ket trilogy with XRoar and have found no problems, not even a mention of any op code error . By default Xroar doesn't report illegal op codes. :? I was unaware of that, I assumed that any errors would be logged in "stderr.t...

Re: Help Rescuing Tapes

I'd just like to point out that I have now tested the archive's copy of the Ket trilogy with XRoar and have found no problems, not even a mention of any op code error. However reconverting these CAS files back into wave files with DC does cause a problem, so for the time being Ciaran's wave conversi...

Re: Help Rescuing Tapes

I've managed to rescue quite a few dodgy tapes that I've got by rerecording them using wavs from the archives, but there are 4 that have totally stumped me: Ket Trilogy, Return of the Ring, Nightflight and St. George and the Dragons. I've tried to convert the cas files using dc, when a wav doesn't ...

Re: XRoar 0.23 released

Thanks for your explanation and, yes, this is very cool indeed! Yet I do have an extra question : is there any specific saving command for ASCII files, i.e. something that will create the corresponding ".bas" file on one's PC, or will the standard CSAVE "filename", A command achieve this?

Re: XRoar 0.23 released

I'm getting a crash with xroar-snap-20091207-windows32 when trying out '-vo sdlyuv' (the other two -vo options are fine).
