Re: Dragon 32/64 in FPGA, help needed.

Thanks for the help, that info helped.
FPGA Core is making good progress. Hopefully .CAS support will be added soon. I think say people from the US forget/don't know that in the UK audio tapes were the main way we got software loaded on our 8-bits. ;)

Re: Dragon 32/64 in FPGA, help needed.

More questions/clarification needed: 'There is confusion on whether a 64K Dragon contains two 16KB-length ROMs, one at $8000 and the other at $C000. According to what I've read, the system boots into the first ROM in 32K mode, and typing EXEC 48000 should either run the $C000 ROM or perform a copy o...

Re: Dragon 32/64 in FPGA, help needed.

Thanks for info, inhave passed it on. Some further progress at the bottom of this post. Is there link to the 64 1@2 .roms? So far 64Tano.rom and 64Tano2.rom are being used: '64Tano.rom @ $8000 and 64Tano2.rom @ $C000... doesn't appear to be the proper ROMs or setup to allow typing EXEC 48000 to put ...

Dragon 32/64 in FPGA, help needed.

Hi all, A chap from the US who created a Tandy Color Computer FPGA 'Core' is tweeking it to replicate a Dragon 32/64. This is great news as the Dragon is probably the last popular 80's computer which does not have a representative FPGA Core. But he needs your help!! The Tandy is his speciality and s...

Now working - Dragon SD card loader for tape images!

Hi, I thought I would post this in case it was not known about - you can now load Dragon tapes off a SD card!! First some history, some time ago I bought a Toshiba MSX HX-10 and in my research I came across a couple of guys who were developing an Arduino based SD card loader for 8 bit systems ( http...
