Here is the SuperIDE CF image for the Dragon.
http://www.mediafire.com/?zm1646f1za8b114
I've upload to an external site as I don't know if such large images are permitted here.

It is largely based on the work of RetroCanada from the CoCo list.
I have only replaced the vtio.dr and made some adjustments to the boot list to free up more memory.
Because it is a dual boot system, under level 1 it uses CMD1 instead of CMDS, startl1 instead of startup and sysg1 instead of sysgo.

It is a NitrOS9 dual boot system. Great if, like me, you have both a Dragon and a CoCo3. At startup you can choose between:
1. NitrOS9 Level 1 for the Dragon 64
2. NitrOS9 Level 2 for the CoCo3
3. HDB-DOS CF disk image access for Dragon/CoCo

Requirements
1. Dragon 64 / Tano Dragon
2. SuperIDE from Cloud9tech.com
3. EPROMS with zephyr & Steve Woolham's dual Dragon/Coco roms installed in your Dragon

A disk controller / disk drive is not required.

You can use dd or SideWalk (https://sites.google.com/site/drivewire4/sidewalk) to transfer this image to a 256MB or larger CF.

This disk also includes a collection of over 200 disks of CoCo games and utilities as listed in the attached file. Most of those which are not CoCo3 specific will run fine on the Dragon in CoCo mode.

For more instructions you can also see RetroCanda's posts at http://five.pairlist.net/pipermail/coco ... 62754.html

This should also work with Phill Harvey-Smith's Dragon/CoCo roms with a rewired keyboard. But, in this case you should use RetroCanada's original CF image which has the CoCo keyboard module.

Seems that 4Shared now requires to be signed in to download files.

Could you upload it to mediafire perhaps?

Sure, moved to mediafire.

Excellent. Thanks Ken!

Thank you very much, Ken!

Now, can we still buy the SuperIDE somewhere? Is it emulated (whether in XRoar, Mess or any other emulators)?

The SuperIDE is a cloud9tech.com product. An amazing product IMHO.
It is in stock and Mark ships worldwide at very reasonable shipping costs.
You can email him for more info at info@cloud9tech.com
He's also offering EPROM burning services so you could probably get the SuperIDE along with zephyr's roms for a plug-n-play solution.

Thanks for the tip!

No problem with eprom burning, I have a nice Top3000 USB programmer here, hehe
