Re: Flex Software for the DragonPlus

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 ...

Re: Flex Software for the DragonPlus

It corrupts in exactly the same way! Maybe Flex presumes it's safe to write to that memory, now the 80 column card is running.

Re: Flex Software for the DragonPlus

Oh thanks @pernod70, was that all it needed?

Thanks for all your help everyone - I'm up and running with 80 column Dynacalc! Come see it for real at the Meetup in a couple weeks :)

Re: Flex Software for the DragonPlus

@pernod70 - awesome, that looks like it will work!

Any ideas how I can convert Sixxie's DSK file to a VDK so I can write it to a floppy? Also, I must try and work out why Flex and the CocoSDC aren't playing nicely.

Thanks for your help everyone!

Re: Flex Software for the DragonPlus

Thanks Ciaran! I'm wondering if it's crashing because it's trying to something DragonPlus related? The custom program works after you do an 'ASN W=1' (to tell it that the second disk is the one with Dynacalc on it), but alas, it only seems related to printers. Time to get it onto a floppy and in my ...

Flex Software for the DragonPlus

Hi, I thought it better to move this to another thread, and keep the other thread for OS/9 Well, I know a lot more Flex than I used to! But each step forwards comes with a couple back. I've been sent to this site - http://www.swtpcemu.com/swtpc/Overview.htm - it's got an SWTPC emulator that also com...

Re: 80 Column OS/9 Software for the DragonPlus ...

I thought I'd explore the world of Flex too, see what my options were - for reference, the archive 'Flex - System v2.0.0 plus Crunch Cobol v1.1 - DBASIC v1.5 (198x)(Compusense Ltd)[DPLUS].zip' seems to contain the most complete version for the DragonPlus. It's not without problems, of course! It's b...

Re: 80 Column OS/9 Software for the DragonPlus ...

Hi Ken! Thanks for the tip. However, when I run it, I get this:

To me it looks like it's trying to use different screen control codes - is this down to the display driver?
I feel we're close now! :)

Many thanks in advance, Tony
