This feels to me like the same SDC 'I wonder, is it a power issue' problem which frequently prevents OS9 booting on Dragon 64s...

Re: Jaysoft - Taipan
Wow, that is some cool reverse engineering! I'd seen the Portuguese variant existed, but using the Spectrum versions from Jaysoft to allow it to be translated back has produced something that's exactly as I remember it. Winning is broken though and the Debt collectors definitely aren't active yet......

Jaysoft - Taipan
Has anyone ever seen a copy of this? The old TRS-80 Model 1 trading game it was advertised in early Popular Computing Weeklies... a google will turn it up. It doesn't seem to be on any of the software lists, perhaps because Jaysoft didn't advertise in the kosher Dragon Press? I had a (probably hooky...

Re: Pipes by Nick Marentes now available for Dragon and Coco
For anyone wanting to run this on a Dragon with a disk system, it's worth mentioning that in a message to Nick when you buy it, as a trivial patch to prevent the disk motor shutoff code from causing problems is required to make the game work under DragonDOS. He will then send you a VDK of the amende...

Re: CoCoSDC
Quite a few of us have CoCoSDC's... if you search on here there are quite a lot of posts about Pere's development of the Dos Plus Extender ROM! With the SDC Explorer it is an excellent system.
