Non Dragon ROM 1-1
Re: Non Dragon ROM 1-1
You can load the attached m/l program (wav file) from tape using CLOADM and EXEC. It will calculate a checksum of the ROM and compare it with known ROMs. If it prints "ORIG" you have the normal Dragon 32 ROMs.

Re: Non Dragon ROM 1-1
OK, then it is confirmed that you have the stock ROM.
The DWLOAD EPROM only gives you the recycled DLOAD command for DriveWire, which can load BASIC and m/l files (Dragon DOS and DECB formats). That's how it can fit into the (usually) one socketed ROM and also stay fully compatible with the original ROM. However, it can dynamically load dweebs from the server, to extend its functionality, so for instance to save a BASIC program: DLOAD"SAVE""MYPROG.BAS".
