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: Hello all - ex Dragon owner
Hi All Ok, except the obvious...I hope there are ways to avoid loading from cassette! I *do not* miss that!! The Dragon has made a lot of progress in this respect.

OS9 Level 2 for the Dragon is on the top of my Dragon wishlist
There has been some discussion on the issue of Bringing OS9 Level 2 to CoCo2 and Dragon on the CoCo list a few months ago.

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

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. And I...

The easiest way to transfer VDK files to a Dragon with floppy drive would be using pere's V2FLO dweeb and tormod's drivewire adapter.

Re: NitrOS9 V3.3.0 for DragonDos and Drivewire
I used the CoCo2 build, with
in port.mak to get the Dragon keyboard layout.
Hence the CoCo disk controller drivers.
Code: Select all
PORT = d64
Hence the CoCo disk controller drivers.
