Roms for use with the Dragon multi-cart and other Dragon cartridge devices
updated Aug-13-2014:
I tested these roms on a Dragon 32 with the multi-cart. There are no special requirements for the multi-cart and these roms should work with any other cartridge device built for the Dragon computer. The "modDragon"-denoted CoCo-roms only were changed to make them compatible with the Dragon, not because of the use with multi-cart.
The "modDragon-roms" can be found as attachments of several posts in the Uploads-section.

Some of the CoCo-programs have that joystick-dependent noise, since Dragon Color Basic does not, like CoCo, switch off audio, when it reads the joysticks' axis. In the meantime, I've changed most of them.
-------------------------------
Many of the CoCo roms are NTSC versions. They appear black and white on PAL. Also cross-color is not working on PAL.

I closed the 8k-list. I modified almost all of the 2k/4k/8k Tandy rom images, where needed. Almost all programs are working. I leave some programs like painting applications, which probably nobody will ever use anymore, these days (If somebody absolutely wants to load one of those programs into the mulit-cart, I can have a look at it). I will check for new roms from time to time.
