I seem to have lost the screw from my only Dragon cartridge casing (Dragon Chess). That's annoying. Can someone do me a favour - if you get a few minutes next time you're thinking of going to B&Q/Homebase etc. can you take the screw from a Dragon Data Ltd. cartridge and see if you can find out what ...

It's pretty similar to a cart I've already built. However, since that one is still not 100% at ...

Something like the CoCo Unravelled source, and doing it cleanly in legal terms as well. couldn't agree more. There's a lot of good st...

Whether it'd be worth all the effort (vs. an HxC emulator, Drivewire, or any of the other methods of loading program's into a Dragon) would be debatable but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work. I've used devices with less power to pretend to be cartridge ROMs before and to ...

Looks great, but just too expensive for me to justify (especially at the minute).

Well, it's a damn nuisance not having it (especially with no shifts).

Looks pretty cool. Might have to give that a try one day.

Cheers.
