Thanks for uploading the files and renaming them!

How can I link the files in a wiki page? I've tried with the [[Media:]] syntax and it doesn't recognize the files. If I use another file that was uploaded to the wiki, it shows ok in the preview.

For these types of files use a simple URL link... [http://archive.worldofdragon.org/....]

If you want to use the [[File:]], [[Gallery]] or [[Media:]] tags then you must upload each file seperately !

What I have done (look in books at Inside the Dragon) is upload a JPG to the wiki and when showing the JPG put a download URL under the picture... Also see Dragon User magazine page..

Thanks again!

I got it working. I'll be uploading more images and dumps as soon as I receive them.

Hi everybody!

I received the scans of the tape covers 1 to 6 of Dragon Software Magazine (and updated the wiki page with them).

I also received the tape's contents. Some are already converted to .CAS format, and other will be converted soon.

You'll find attached the programs for the second tape.

Simon, please let me know when the files are uploaded so I can link them in the page.

Have a nice day!

And, here we are again!

Drachco (He's the one that owns the tapes and magazines and kindly scans them and digitizes the tapes) and I managed to get the contents of tapes 5 and 6, and we are working to get the side 2 of tape 3 and the program "Adventure" from tape 4.

You'll find attached the files for Tape 5 and I'm waiting to know exactly the year of tape 6 (which is probably 1985 too) to upload it with the correct file name.

As soon as the other tapes are fully processed, I'll upload them here and link them in the magazines page.

Please Simon, can you upload the files for tapes 2 and 5 so I can link them? (Obviously when you have a little time )

All uploaded

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand... links updated!

Thanks you very much!

I'll let you know when I have more files to upload

Tapes 3,4 and 6.

I'm trying to fix some programs on tapes 7,8 and 9.

By the way, how can I load a binary file with CLOADM and then save it again with CSAVEM?

To recover most basic files, I load them in my Dragon64 and then I save them again to my soundcard, as they become easier for XRoar to read.

Thanks... Will get these uploaded soon...

As for binary/mcode files - there is a set of PEEK commands you can run once you have CLOADM'd the file to tell you the start, end and exec address to use to CSAVEM the same file....

MACHINE CODE PROGRAM ADDRESSES:
(a) For tape:
START: PEEK(487) * 256 + PEEK(488)
END: PEEK(126) * 256 + PEEK(127)-1
EXEC: PEEK(157) * 256 + PEEK(158)

(b) For disk: (Dragon only) FOR X=1618 TO 1623 STEP 2: PRINT PEEK(X) * 256 + PEEK(X+1);:NEXT The resulting numbers will be: START, LENGTH and EXEC. To find END address, add START and LENGTH together and deduct 1.

Hey Simon,

The instructions you gave me worked just dandy!

Here you have tapes 10 and 11. I'm having a bit of trouble recovering some files of tapes 7,8 and 9, I hope I can get them fixed soon.

Finally a rogue program on tape 7 was beaten and here you have the tapes 7,8 and 9.

I'm working on tapes 12 and 13 and trying to get some more info on the magazine and the company who published it.
