Question about D32 circuit diagram

On the SA D32 circuit diagram is an X and the text "disconnect for b/w" on the track from pin 6 of IC9 (LM1889) to R7. Cutting this track on my Dragon seems to result in the TV displaying a rather poor quality green screen display with no colour. Can someone please explain exactly what this is for, ...

Re: Turns out Flash is really slow

Its much faster now, but still very CPU intensive compared to Mocha. Mocha runs very comfortably (~25% CPU) even on my old 1 GiG Pentium III machine. Your Flash Dragon uses 100% CPU time on the same machine, and is very sluggish. :(

Re: Hitachi HD6809EP

After checking a few of my D32's, I have found one of these in a 16x16 issue 6 board. :)

Error in D32 service information

There is an error in the Dragon 32 service Information (RWEW/KA/0080a) sheet. The "270-470K" should actually read as 270-470R or 270-470 ohms if you prefer.

Re: Dragons on TV or in movies.

The Dragon is an awesome machine, but I don't ever recall seeing it in a TV series, or in movies. :( Perhaps someone could persuade James Cawley or John Broughton to use it as a prop in one of their upcoming episodes. ;)

Re: FarmFax

Well, it wasn't me that won the FarmFax software (I didn't even know it was for sale), but I would love to see it added to the archive. 8-)

How much did it sell for?

Re: Hitachi HD6809EP

For 26 years I have lived in the belief that my Dragon 32 had a Motorola MC6809E at it's core. So my surprise was rather big when I yesterday opened my Dragon, only to find a Hitachi HD6809EP instead. So now I'm wondering if this chip was exchanged during a repair return, or if Dragon Data really u...
