Re: The CoCo Crew Podcast

John, in the latest podcast you mention that you bought a copy of "Leggit!" with that in mind you may be interested in a 1984 TV documentary about Imagine - the company that published the game. Let's just say that BBC did not get the Imagine story they originally thought they were going to get. The ...

Re: Internal error when trying to log out of the wiki

Rob, I've deleted the cookies, cleared the cache, and disabled both NoScript and uBlock Origin, and all to no avail. I'm still getting the same error when I try to log out of the Archive's wiki.

Re: Reproduction of Dragon Data logo stickers for D32/D64

Sorry - but why? Why? Why not? I may be misunderstanding the intentions of Unumlapis but I am under the impression that he is refurbishing a couple of Dragons, including freshening up the cases. If Unumlapis is going to the trouble of having the Dragon Data logo stickers printed professionally and ...

Re: Dragon demos for download?

The Amiga boing ball demo and various other disc images have been available for download at Dragon Computer Consultancy for some time, but scanning through the list I can't see any other demos.

Re: Cap Kit for D32/D64

Thanks should really go to the CoCo Crew Podcast as it was their most recent podcast that brought Blake Patterson's article to my attention.

Re: Cap Kit for D32/D64

Unless you can see an obvious physical problem with a capacitor I'm not sure if it is worthwhile replacing them. The following post - Let’s Talk About Capacitor Failure by Blake Patterson - also questions the practice, be sure to read the responses and to check out the links. A more definite answer ...

Is this the same version that Stew uploaded back in 2015, or do we now have three different releases of the game?

Its seems for me not easy to change and load new files with keys scr lk, tab and these black and white windows. So my question i...
