Worked like a dream! Thanks Rob. Does anyone know anything of the history of this application? Now, maybe I should go off and buy this mouse on ebay ... Oh, and a Dragon 64. And some disk drives ... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130527183370&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1197wt_...

Hi all. I saw a picture of a 'windows' style frontend running on the Dragon recently, and I'm guessing (although I might be wrong) that it's the WIMP application that's on a disk image in the archives (wimp.vdk). I've got the image, and I'd like to use it under xroar, but I never had access to a dis...

Apologies for being slightly off-topic, but this thread prompted me to go off and read about the Dragon Plus card. Has anyone any hands on experience of using this? I've never seen one, but sounds like a cool thing to track down. Was it vapourware or a real product sold in quantity? Basically, will ...

Thanks Simon, DC.EXE worked just fine! I do have a perl environment on this PC and I'm confident with perl, so I would have been happy to use the script - however, I get an error 500 when I try to download the script. Is it possible the site is seeing the '.pl' file extension and is trying to execut...

Hi all! Well, I've written a little program under Xroar and I'd love to see it running on the real machine. I have a .cas file ready to go, and I guess it needs to be a wav. I've found cas2wav.pl in the archive, but I get an error (500) when I try and download it. I'm also not sure if it will work u...

Dont' beat yourself up about it! It's still a great piece of code, and you'd be forgiven for presuming that only a mad person would run Perl under DOS. Apologies for being that mad person and exposing the problem. Still, I'm happy because I now program the beast again!

Perhaps I spoke too soon. I've been going slightly mad the last 36 hours - what seemed like an entirely random selection of my programs would just crash the Dragon. Code I was 99.99% sure was just fine. Simple little 4 line programs. So I've been running debuggers, disassemblers and hexdumpers tryin...

Thanks for your help Snark and Sixxie! I'm now staring at a screen with an exclamation mark in the middle, which means my 'hello world' code now works! Fantastic. I switched to using the Coco binaries, and it worked perfectly. Certainly, the perl assembler is working just fine for me so far - althou...

Thanks for the ideas! I'm getting so close - I've got the assembler to make DragonDos binaries, and I think that if I add an 'org <address>' at the start of the code, this info will be written into the header. I suspect this tells Xroar where to load the code. I also note there's an '--exec' flag in...

Hi all, hope you can help again ... I'm so close ... I've got perl, VI, asm6809.pl and Xroar all installed on my PC, plus a stack of 'learning machine code for the Dragon' books. I used to be quite good at this 25 years ago, and I fancy giving it a try again! (blimey, I'm rusty). So I'm at the stage...
