Re: Stuff found

I'd love to get a dump of the ROM - but I haven't actually got a Dragon yet, and I suspect I need one to do it your way :-) When one arrives (I've bought a D32 on eBay and a D64 from the US) I'll try to get a dump out for you. The ROM label is hand written, but it doesn't look like my handwriting, s...

Floppy disks

Ha! Just (re-)learned a valuable lesson. 30 year old 5.25 floppy disks are gunky! I've got a 5.25 drive, and the first DDOS disk I tried worked with VCOPY, but after that none of them worked, including the first one again, so I assumed the drive had failed. Today, I saw someone in a vintage computer...

Cumana Dragon 64 FDC cartridge

I can't find this in the downloads/Wiki, so I'm uploading it here - apologies if it's already here

(I know they're in JPG which is less than ideal, but I can't find if I can set my phone to save as a decent format)

Stuff found

I've just been rummaging in one of my junk boxes from my university days and I've found some bits which seem Dragon/Coco related. One is an uncased Cumana "Dragon 64 FDC" board. Are there images of this up here? I couldn't find them. I'll upload photos of this board if they're needed. I suspect the ...

OS9/2 on D64

Has anyone done anything with getting OS9/level 2 working on a modded D64 recently? I was working on this 20+ years ago, but found it hard to get hold of the OS in the UK, and I made some fundamental mistakes, so it never got completed. I'm thinking of giving it a go again, using Nitros9, but workin...

'SerialVGA'

Has anyone played with one of these little devices: http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/serial-vga I'm looking at getting one to try to interface it to my D64 (if/when it arrives from the US). It gives 100x50 text output to VGA with the option for text 'windows', and it's controlled by TTL serial port (so...

Re: WTB Dragon and game carts

I emailed them last week about their D64s and was told:

" California Digital still has a significant
number of Tano Dragon 64 computers
available."

I sent the payment by Paypal, and was told:

"Funds received. Will ship this week. "

So, I'm guessing they haven't sold out...
