Re: The Cambridge Dragon Meetup - June 3rd

Dragon event, what a great idea. I would like to come and meet everyone and possibly get a first hand look at the machines that may be present, but I am otherwise engaged at the beginning of June otherwise I would definitely be attending. So I hope your day goes well and that you all get a parking s...

Re: Loading cassettes - IO ERRORs

Hi, I agree with the above solutions, especially Alastair's re-aligning of the tape. Have the tapes been stored flat or upright? I ask because I have had a few tapes from other people that have been stored flat and the tape has drooped on the spools (pesky time and gravity) and doesn't align with th...

Re: Tano Dragons

I hope that they arrive for you soon, as opening a new Dragon takes you right back to opening one in the 80's :D
As has been mentioned on this forum before, be careful as you open the end flaps of the box as they tear very easily.

Re: RACE Electronics Peripherals

I prefer a hard copy of any type of literature (my eyes get tired very quickly these days from looking at a screen, probably all those nights back in the 80's squinting at a green screen for too long) but the whole set of Dragon Users are available in the downloads section of this site.

Re: RACE Electronics Peripherals

So, does anyone know more about the peripherals? I got in touch with the seller, who said, of the cage - "I live not far from where RACE Electronics was based in south wales. Maybe I bought it directly from them or maybe I bought it from Cumana." If I remember rightly, didn't Race actually build so...

Re: Dragon Power

Thank's Norris, much clearer pictures than the ones I took. So, it appears that the only real difference is the case design. I haven't opened up my dead brick yet, or even found it, but I will open it to see if it is repairable, if I notice any differences to this one then I will of course post my f...

I can't help with a suitable replacement, but I do have some pictures of the oblong power brick.

Re: Printer options ?

I have just connected my Star LC-200 printer that I use with my A500 (I bought the LC-200 in about 1990 to use with my Amiga, but have never tried it on my Dragon until today :? ) and it worked perfectly using the cable as shown in this thread.

Re: Printer options ?

There are no twists in the cable, but there is a single space on the ribbon at the printer end
