Hi John, I use an Epson LX80 with my Dragon and it works a treat (as well as any dot matrix can). Dragon User ran quite a few articles on compatible printers. If no one else already has a picture or diagram of the printer cable that they can upload then I will try and take a picture of mine in a fe...

Hi folks, I would like to get an old school printer to compliment my Dragon setup but not sure where to start. I know the Dragon's printer port is parallel centronics but not even sure which cable I need to buy for a start. If I search on ebay for centronics printer cable, looking at the pictures of...

Thank you so much for your help, I have sent you an email with files attached

Look forward to hearing from you

Thanks for your reply.

Hi, I am trying to convert a picture using this method but I can't get the downloaded programs to run. When I try to open any of the included exe files (DrBinCas etc) they open briefly for a split second and then close again. I am using windows 8.1 (64bit) and i've tried running as admin and all com...

Yes, you are right. You only need the flat cable with no twists. If you don't get the drive to work properly, then either the drive needs maintenance (like replacing the belt, though my drives are working with no repairs) or you have to play with the variable capacitor (the round yellow piece) and ...

Hi guys, Hope this is the relevant place to post this. I have a single drive original Dragon floppy drive and one of Lafumat's recreated floppy controllers. As I only have one drive, am I correct in thinking that I do not need a twist in my cable at all ? Just a straight wired floppy cable from a PC...
