I think the Archive is the leading edge now when it comes to information on Dragon computers, and this will be another huge step forward.

Beta boards anyone? :mrgreen:
Richard may surprise us and bring his Beta with him !!

Re: The Cambridge Dragon Meetup - June 3rd

@tjewell , thanks for your offer, PM sent! I'd like to ask if it would be possible to scan the Professional's PCB. I don't mind bringing a laptop and my trusty scanner to scan it for the Archive.

Re: Dragon Disk Drive

Its a calibration error - On the original DragonDOS interface there are two variable resistors that can be used to calibrate the interface. Its not an easy job and needs a scope and the data sheet. Much easier to change the drive to something else like HxC.

Gordon Bennet - Quickbeam

Having taken the attached WAV direct from original cassette - having issues getting it to load into XROAR or convert to a CAS.

Anybody fancy a challenge?
