Dragon Tangent by Pro-Tech Systems

I found these details in an envelop while going through my boxes. I'll open a general thread to see if anyone knows anything more about what happened to this set of add ons.

Re: Premier's Sprite Graphics Board

You can actually get edge connectors from Digikey, which can have IDC connectors pushed onto them. Might be simpler than having another board to do it. Something like this... https://www.digikey.co.uk/product-detail/en/sullins-connector-solutions/GBC20MMND/GBC20MMND-ND/4552097 They look great, but ...

Anyone going from around Norwich?

Is anyone going to the meetup from the Norwich area? I'll be in Cromer for the week leading up and then going back to Norwich afterwards, and would love to carpool.

Re: Premier's Sprite Graphics Board

I've ordered a couple of the extender/prototype boards Stewart mentioned here: http://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6051 No luck on finding a UK UHF tuner device from folk at work yet though. I did run across my Sinclair Microvision though. Maybe dangling a UHF cable near the ...

Re: Dragon demos for download?

I wrote a (bad) demo for the Osset '92 show, with the apt name "The Osset 92 Demo". I had nothing on Sweden's own The CareBears (TCB) who were my favorite demo group on the Atari ST. Loved rewatching the So What demo back in the day. I'll try and get it ripped to VDK in the next week to two, unless ...

Re: Premier's Sprite Graphics Board

Yes, if someone at the meet wants to have a go, Rolo's card would be ideal. We know the ROM (or one of them) is good. I have two NOS of the 9929A video chips, and two sets of 8x 4116 RAM chips. Another set of those might be a good idea.
