Re: Attempting to get a DragonPlus board going ...

Ideally the ACIA driver would compare the mirrored addresses on init and play nicely if found something suspicious!

I didn't know about this lazy decode malarky though, and always wondered why the 6551 board in my 32(64)+ACIA sent a new flying lead in to a lifted pin of the PIA. Now I understand!

Re: Attempting to get a DragonPlus board going ...

Is it possible to emulate a 64K D32 with Xroar? You could put something like this in your xroar.conf: machine dragon32exp64 machine-desc Dragon 32 (64K expanded) machine-arch dragon32 ram 64 Then you will be able to select it from the machine menu, or specify on the command line with "xroar -defaul...

Re: Attempting to get a DragonPlus board going ...

To get rid of the reset / poke shenanigans, someone needs to cobble together a 32(64) boot disk or hack the 6551 driver to behave nicely when it's not present.

Will have a look.

Re: Eurohard OS9 Level 1 V2 - disk OK?

Turns out it was a DosPlus Extender issue when used with SDCExplorer! Pere has now fixed it in the latest DPE build!

So none of my 64k machines have bad memory! Hooray!

Re: Eurohard OS9 Level 1 V2 - disk OK?

I'm running from a CoCoSDC, and have tried BOOTing straight from DosPlus Extender, as well as from SuperDos E6 after switching to that and doing a warm re-start. I'll try programming another Dos ROM into one of the other banks and see if that makes a difference, but I'm skeptical! The way the failur...

Re: Eurohard OS9 Level 1 V2 - disk OK?

Well, that suggests it's my old machine that's ropey then :-(

Probably no further testing required!

Eurohard OS9 Level 1 V2 - disk OK?

Hi all, Since getting hold of my CocoSDC, I've been messing around with some of the disk software from the archive on my Dragon 32 (64 + 6551) rather than using XRoar. One thing I've noticed is that the Eurohard OS9 V2 system disk image in the archive doesn't seem to BOOT reliably on my real hardwar...
