Re: Hardware Problems

Back to the hot Dragon, it's just an idea but perhaps a previous owner tried to overclock it. Other than changing the crystal I don't know how you would go about it on a Dragon, but it may be worth looking around that area.

Curious, could it be that some of the early releases by Microdeal of ex-Dragon Data software still contained the Dragon Data copyright in the programs' titles?

Re: Air Traffic Control & Space Shuttle

The Space Shuttle manual is in the archive ( http://archive.worldofdragon.org/archiv ... r=Manuals/ ), and Space Shuttle, I cannot vouch for Air Traffic Control, is still playable at normal speed - not that it makes it any easier, I still haven't managed to land the thing.

Re: Zaxxon by Steve Bjork

Here's the cassette version... Thanks, though I downloaded it a few years back. I was just making the point that Bob Liddil's column in Dragon User talked about many of the games that were available for the CoCo in the USA, many of which were never converted to the Dragon and sold over here. Also, ...

Re: GHOST ATTACK

Here's Ghost Attack for the archive. Two cassette (.cas) versions are attached. One is by Dragon Data, the other by Microdeal. Although this game is already in the archive, the 'Microdeal - Ghost Attack.cas' file won't load into XROAR, and the 'Dragon Data Ltd - Ghost Attack [exec].wav' file is a h...

Re: Zaxxon by Steve Bjork

No, I don't think there ever was any official Dragon release for this game. But this is not too surprising either : you'd be amazed at the number of games that were available in the USA for the Co-Co, but that never made it to Europe. Lionel They never released Outhouse over here did they? When I f...

Re: Dragon survey, what to ask for?

Here are a couple of photographs of the innards of my Dragon 32 (ID 78 in the survey). I'll probably remove them on Monday or Tuesday, in an effort to reduce bandwidth on this thread, so please download them if you think you may make use of them. Edit: I've removed the pictures, if anyone wants them...

Re: Dragon survey, what to ask for?

That picture is also a really good example of the OKI RAM configuration. Al a stair, is your RAM configuration like this? Yes, though in my case the OKIs are labelled M3732L-20RS 2Y110. I thought so! :) I'm really surprised that it doesn't run at double speed though. I have four Dragons with these ...

Re: ROTR - Help please

Thankfully the terminology here is pretty straightforward, the problem is working out what you need to be carrying before you can pick up the time ring. I seem to recall that the reason you need all the other characters there is because you need to give all those characters pretty much all that you ...
