Re: Strange registered users?

I have one Dragon32, one Dragon64 and still some deals going on. I have not opened them by now, but the idea was to make a simple board with the two CPUs in parallel and then enable with a switch one of them (/CE), with the computer turned off. The board will sit on the CPU socket. What (for you) i...

Re: Strange registered users?

I have posted the code needed to enable/disable 6309 native mode in the "Hints and Tips" section. Which machines are you going to upgrade with the 63x09e chips?

Re: ENCODER09

I used Encoder09 a lot, but this was some 25 years ago. Today I just don't remember the exact procedure I used to get it into disk. I assume there must be a disk version as well as a cart/cassette version. The archive's copy assembles only to cassette or memory. By the way, do you know if any of th...

Inverse Text Hardware Mod?

I was just looking at the inverse text display hardware mod on page 16 of the March 1988 issue of Dragon User. The mod takes the form of disconnecting pin 32 (INV) from the board and connect to pin 20 (DA11) through a SPDT switch. All very simple, but I would like to know for sure if this is the cor...
