Nice!

BTW, "Mode 24" by Paul Wicks was published in the October 1986 issue of Dragon User, Pages 20 - 24.

GCC6809 is the only C cross compiler that I'm aware of.

If it runs the two test programs without crashing, you have nothing to worry about. That is the poke which is often used to speed up BASIC programs. (a) Which these four Motherboards is installed in your Dragon. http://archive.worldofdragon.org/index.php?title=Motherboard_Pictures (b) Is XL2 marked ...

Yes, I would like to see the results. How many Dragon 32's does he own?

Thanks for testing. Does it crash when running any of following BASIC programs.

Nice pics of the screen at double speed though!

How many Dragon's do you own?

Did your Dragon run without problems at double speed?

I did the double speed benchmark like this:

(1) POKE65497,0:EXEC:POKE65496,0
(2) PRESS "A" <ENTER>
(3) Wait about 20 seconds, then hold down Break

Here are some results from the same Dragon32's using Sock Master's BASIC benchmark . Line 20 was changed from "IFTIMER<60" to "IFTIMER<50" for the UK Dragon 50Hz timer. Normal speed: 10 A=0:TIMER=0 20 IFTIMER<50THENA=A+1:GOTO20 30 PRINTA:RUN Double speed : 5 POKE65497,0 10 A=0:TIMER=0 20 IFTIMER<50T...

Here are some benchmark results from two of my Dragon 32's. Dragon 32 with standard Motorola 6809E processor Normal speed CPU: 6947 R/W: 5496 Double speed (POKE65497,0) CPU: 13918 R/W: 11011 Dragon 32 with Hitachi 63B09E processor fitted Normal speed - Emulation mode CPU: 6947 R/W: 5496 Normal speed...
