I didn't quite get it : do you have BOTH a Race Expansion Cage and a Multipak, or just the Race? If it's the former, I'm getting really jealous. Hi Philippe - I hate to make you jealous, but yes, I do have both! I will admit, I picked up the Race as a curiosity - it popped up on eBay a few years ba...

Pere, you wondered if you are the only Dragon user with physical floppies, a CocoSDC and a MultiPak. <snip> Well, I'll give it a try... and I might be the only Dragon user with physical floppies, a CocoSDC, and a Race Expansion Board. Ha, I don't what to be 'that guy', but I have both systems set u...

Great stuff guys! I'm back playing with Fuzix again, which means I've got Tormod's 512K MOOH card plugged into my machine. Having an internal memory upgrade would (I presume) free up my cartridge port again, which would be really useful. Would either of these upgrades use banking in a similar style ...

Just caught up on this thread - great detective work everyone! As I'm sure you're all well aware, I've had all manner of 'fun' with my over-expanded franken-dragons, and it's wonderful to hear there's a potential solution to my woes. Looking forward to getting hold of one of your boards, John!

Interesting! I think this is also how the Fairlight CMI works (the big 80's sampler beloved of The Art of Noise, and a zillion others). That has dual 6809s, and it was described to me (some 35 years ago) that the two processors both see the same memory, and somehow work in tandem to double the speed...

I can confirm 99.8% that they're the same (maybe there's a tiny difference I'm not aware of? I have some nagging memory that some Cocos have 12v and some don't on the cart port). But I know that a Coco cart game works when put in a Dragon, and the CocoSDC floppy emulator works in both.

With much sadness, I can't see this July's Meetup going ahead. For me, a large part of this event is the social aspect. It's great to meet you all, to poke your machines, to go to the pub after with like minded people and spend the day and evening talking Dragons. I don't want to cancel, I would muc...

Perhaps this should! http://tormod.me/udw.html - does anyone here own one?

Though I believe one of Tony's upgraded D32s has my D64 serial upgrade board in it so that shouldn't be a problem, as this makes sure the PIA is only accessed $FF00-03 and the ACIA $FF04-07. Yes, I should have mentioned this! So my D32 is almost a D64, except for the ROMs. I did have this problem w...

(this post is on Facebook too - apologies to everyone who's reading it twice - however I know not everyone is on FB) I'm discovering that not all Dragon power boards are the same. It might be ageing components, or simply I'm driving beyond their specifications with my modified machines. This all sta...
