The Cloud-9 SuperIDE Interface

I would like to ask a few questions before I buy one of Cloud-9's SuperIDE devices: Say you had 1000 + virtual floppy disks. How easy would it be to transfer them to the CompactFlash card? Is it just a matter of creating a directory structure on the CF and copying the .dsk files across from your PC'...

Re: Schematics of Dragon Cartridges?

So maybe the youtube-video " Dragon 64 connected to a HxC 2001 Floppy Emulator " ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB__S8HuzOA ) shows us a better solution, but where do you get a floppy controller cartridge from? Those seem to be rare. A quick search of the forums: You can buy a new controller from...

Re: CoCo Disk Controller

The only information I know of is this . Basically, SuperDOS is supposed to be a partial rewrite of DragonDOS 1.0 with all bugs fixed, and an enhanced directory display. There have been a couple of updates (E5/E6) since the original E4 release for the Dragon 32.There is a rather interesting letter b...

You need SuperDOS E7T from the ToolShed repository.

The source code for SuperDOS is now part of the toolshed repository.

Re: HDB-DOS

I have updated my HDB-DOS Cassette Installer (v1.2).
Changes for HDB-DOS Cassette Installer v1.2 (Released on the 18th February, 2013):

* Added support for Steve Woolham's CoCo BASIC Upgrade Patch v1.1
* Relocated the 64K reset code to avoid conflicts with HDB-DOS

Re: Schematics of Dragon Cartridges?

PS: Another idea, that would even be nicer, would be to disassemble cassette tape games, more or less automatically analyze the code, change absolute addresses, if necessary and relocate it to the D32-cartdidge address-range, so that those programs could be on cartridges too. But I still don't know...

Re: CoCo Disk Controller

Okay, so the DOS Adapter from Cloud 9 and a 16k EPROM with Disk Basic and Super DOS should do me then. Well, further on the subject of the disk controller I have a few more questions. 1) The software Archive looks like it consists mostly of tape files. Are there game compilations for disk? 2) Did t...
