Hi pere, Here are the NitrOS9 wordpak drivers with patches to compensate for overscan. These drivers default to my own margins (3 on the left, 4 on the right), but you can easily adjust them as needed. The obvious changes are in CoWP (aka Co80) and term_80. I have patched the CoWP code and added equ...

Re: DIY: 80 column WordPak board (CRT9128)

I have read your message again and I have detected that you write the command PRINT then a space and finally the @ sign. If this is the case, then it will NOT work! Great observation, pere! Old habits die hard ;) The code you uploaded yesterday works great without the space! I am testing on a Drago...

Re: DIY: 80 column WordPak board (CRT9128)

Hi pere,
thanks for sharing this updated driver.
I've done some testing and it works very nicely. The "O K" bug is solved :D
However, the PRINT @ command doesn't seem to work. Text is always printed on the next line. Does PRINT@ work for you on this latest version?

Hi pere,
Great progress and nice pictures!
I hope you manage to get the PRINT @ command fully working. That would be a great improvement to the WordPak driver.

I believe that Luis's driver is an adaptation of the original 1984 WordPak driver source code which is documented on page 17 here:

Re: DIY: 80 column WordPak board (CRT9128)

Hello, a bit more info about that mod. When I run a basic program that has as the very first line a CLS, and immediately there is a PRINT something, this text is displayed the same wrong way as the OK. I mean that the first letter of the text is displayed at column1, but the rest goes from column 5...

Re: DIY: 80 column WordPak board (CRT9128)

Some monitors have overscan issues with the WordPak board resulting in a few missing columns on the left and/or right side. The attached basic driver (source code and HDBDOS dsk image included) compensate for the overscan problem by creating left and right margins. The margin width can be adjusted u...

Re: DIY: 80 column WordPak board (CRT9128)

Hi pere,
The WordPak's video output is composite video (same as the Dragon's monitor output) and not RF.
You should connect it to your monitor's composite video input. If your monitor only has a SCART input you need a composite to SCART adapter.

Re: Anyone able to identify this board?

Apparently, the Dragon 64 has this logic already built-in. It's just struck me whilst looking at the Dragon 64 circuit diagram, that the board was obviously an improvement as it's included in the Dragon 64 circuitry (IC14 & IC13A). Just looking to maybe try and convert my Atom RGB board to work on t...
