Re: Dragon to CoCo
I have explained how to transfer Basic files from coco to Dragon (or reverse) via Xroar and text files on Windows. Have a look here, it's called "cross development" https://vintageisthenewold.com/coco-cross-development-part-1/ If your coco BAS program can be loaded on Xroar emulating a coco, it can ...

Re: Dragon to CoCo
Not sure I understand exactly what you want to do. When I want to use basic files from coco to Dragon or Dragon to coco, I use Xroar emulation and its (fine !) possibility of loading text files with the asc extension. With Xroar, I load the basic program on a virtual machine and export it with ... (...

Re: Dragon 32 RGB SECAM and video tests
I have looked on my Dragon 32 SECAM at the RGB conversion which is part of the PSU board. On my schematics below, we can see that phi A (R-Y) and phi B (B-Y) signals of the 6847 are mixed to make the (G-Y) information. The LUM, which is a clone of (- Y) information is inverted and then combined with...

Re: Dragon 32 RGB SECAM and video tests
Hi Stew and John Thank you for your advices. For the moment, I can't reduce the oscillation which causes the vertical lines by putting caps on the power supplies near the 6847 circuit. I will carry on my investigations. My two Dragon RGB have the same behaviour. In RGB output, the vertical lines are...

Re: Dragon 32 RGB SECAM and video tests
Thank you Stew for all thoses precious advices, I will look at the power supply. I have taken a picture of the screen with the bars. And also a view of the Y signal given by IC 6847 compared with the Video Clock (oscillo at 0,2 µS per division) When I read the 6847 data sheet, in the case of a 14,21...

My motherboard is like this one. https://archive.worldofdragon.org/images/c/cb/Dragon_32_PCB_Top_%28PN41503_Issue3%29.jpg We can see on the picture that the 8 x OKI M3732H RAMs have the caps. and also that caps have been added, by exemple near the 6809. I don't understand what you mean by "The board...
