Re: Howto setup Slim SD HxC Floppy Emulator ?

Did you get this working then?

Maybe we need a Wiki page on this topic?

Re: Thomson's 6809 based computers

Never come across one before - but my vote is for 'get it'. Then you can tell us all about them. :)

Re: how to develop Dragon programms?

I do assembly language on a Windows PC and transfer; but BASIC... well... I just use a Dragon to be honest. but that's normally only when I'm playing with external hardware so couldn't use an emulator anyway.

Re: Dragon Mythbusters: The Dragon 200E!

Cool.

Edit: I had to file off the notch from my cable to make it fit upside down.

Re: DIY simple 6809 ???

The URL looks familiar - is this not the guy who sells all the parts you need in one pack on eBay? Think I bought an MSX pack off him just because it was cheap and looked interesting. Never actually made the machine. It wiuldn't be too hard to draw out a PCB for this. If I wasn't on a self-imposed b...

Anyone have any stats for RSS u...
