Re: Flex Software for the DragonPlus

It looks like I didn't manage to properly convert all the directory entries...

Does this one work any better?

(My guess is no, as I had covered the DYNACALC.CMD binary, and under unmodified Dragon emulation it crashes in the exact same way).

BTW, reading http://www.flexusergroup.com/flexusergroup/fug10.htm, 36 sectors per track is supposed to be valid - it implies a double-sided disk. Simply modifying the disk image to signal 2 sides doesn't help though!

Edit: whoops, reading comprehension fail. Didn't realise it was working! Still, this conversion might make some of the *other* files accessible ;)

Hi Ciaran, that's really useful, thanks.

There's a fair bit of Flex software out there, and we've probably got everything we need to make a FLEX2VDK script now! Are you doing this conversion manually, or do you have a script you could share? I must be a good Dragon user and document all this in the wiki soon ...

Cheers, Tony
