Re: Dragon multi-cartridge is back! Version 1.6 for sale

Rolo, have you tested the multi-cartridge with Pere's new Dos Extender and Drivewire?
You seem to support 16k rom banks so I assume this will work fine.

Re: OS9/2 on D64

OS9 Level 2 for the Dragon is on the top of my Dragon wishlist :D

Re: How to burn .VDK files to floppy disk to use on Dragon

Thanks for all the help guys ! I'm not sure which method I will use. Getting an old floppy drive for my old PC will probably be the cheapest option but maybe not the most reliable lol The advantage with the drivewire adapter option is that it has many uses beyond just copying files to floppy.

Re: NitrOS9 V3.3.0 for DragonDos and Drivewire

I used the CoCo2 build, with

Code: Select all

PORT = d64
