Re: Dragon OS9 with drivewire support

Hi all, Can someone point me in the direction of how to boot up Nirtos-OS9 on a Dragon 64 (real but emulator instructions would be useful as well) with Drivewire support. I've got working HDB-DOS images plus DWLOAD support in ROM so the hardware is in place. After searching through various posts on...

Re: OS9 PD library, Prolog, 5.25" disks

Thanks for the PROLOG disk! This is a great addition to the archives. AFAIK Prolog is not available for download elsewhere for neither Dragon or CoCo. I'd be interested to download the OS9 User group and PD Library disks. I used to be a subscriber to one of these groups (can't remember which), but I...

Re: HDB-DOS for Dragon 32 and 64/Tano

Jon, The cf_dragon.img is an HDB-DOS image formatted for Compact Flash IDE cartridges like Cloud9's SuperIDE or the Glenside IDE board. CF IDE files are based on 512 byte sectors - with the second half of the sector unused. The SideWalk java utility is one of the tools that can be used to extract DS...

Re: I got a Dragon 32!

Thanks Sorchard, and Sixxie, and Rolo, for the offer of the RAM chips. I am really looking forward to having a fully working Dragon 32. In Commodore Land we have gadgets like the SD2IEC, which allows an SD card to emulate a Floppy Drive, is there any Dragon equivalent? No problem if not, I actually...

Re: DWEEBS - applications for DWLOAD - DriveWire

These are great dweebs. The VLOAD & VDIR dweebs are also very useful for those without a DragonDos controller. They allow non-dos users to access and load files from VDK disk images. It's like a zero footprint minimalist DOS. Very cool and actually faster than running from disk! And with Tormod's DO...
