User Manuals etc.

More stuff I've dug out and scanned, these are an assortment of various manuals for things including Dream, DiskDream, Dynafast and OS9 Prolog & RMS. Looking through the archive I found the software for most of these but no manuals so thought they may be useful before I binned them. http://www.oasw....

Re: Coco 1 and Coco 2 (Dragon hybrid!)

Quick update on these items, thanks in part to some helpful folk on the CoCo list both these machines now have a working 64K memory fit and have the original CoCo Extended BASIC ROMs fitted. So if anyone is interested in either/both of these let me know.

Rgs,

Jon.

Re: Magazine uploads - 6809 User, Dragon Gazette, Dragon Wor

That was the intent... I'd assumed any items posted here were suggested candidates for going in the archive?

Rgs,

Re: Drivewire Adapter for Dragon - DIY

Don't know if anyone else has spotted this (I came across it whilst looking for something completely unrelated at the weekend) but the Raspberry Pi has a 232 port which is brought out on the GPIO header and like the o/p from the Dragon's parallel port the voltages aren't 12V either. Initially I'd ho...

Re: DWLOAD - DriveWire for everybody

Hi all, Having been somewhat absent from the Dragon scene for many years I've been somewhat taken by the whole drivewire concept, possibly because it has echoes of my PCShare project I did in the 90's - see http://www.onastick.clara.co.uk/pcshare1.htm - the major drawback of this what the amount of ...

Re: Coco 1 and Coco 2 (Dragon hybrid!)

Thanks for that Tormod. Having done just that, came across this thread (started by Phill I note some 8 years ago): http://coco.maltedmedia.narkive.com/2DM5LvJ2/color-basic-1-0-1-2-differences which, sifting through suggests that the Color BASIC 1.0 ROMS would only support the 4/16K configurations (I...

Re: Coco 1 and Coco 2 (Dragon hybrid!)

Well if it's firing up to basic with 16K available then the ram is probably ok, as the chips are only one bit wide so each data line goes to one of the 8 4164s. So if one of the 4164s had died then it would take out one of the data lines which would prevent the machine from booting. It could possib...

Coco 1 and Coco 2 (Dragon hybrid!)

Hi all, Starting to get to the interesting stuff now ie. the machines. I have a Coco 1 and Coco 2 looking for a good home, again all I'm asking for here is enough to cover postage (especially as they are both in an "interesting" configuration). Both of these underwent my "Coco to Dragon" conversions...
