Hi everybody, I have a simple work in progress project : re-create a game cartridge. My goal for this project is to understand more how works the memory map works and how two eeprom chips can be used on a single board. :) Also, it's a nice way for me to increase my Eagle designing skills ;) I am alr...

Hello, I'm french and I have a Dragon 32, but mine is different from this one (I don't have the UHF modulator). I use mine with the monitor output connector, the one close to the main ON switch. My video cable is "home made". I'll get the wiring as soon as possible. Do you know if the Dragon works o...

Thanks, I'll take a look at this. ;) I tried to load the basic programs. Got some "?NO" errors on some, but many others loads without problems. Unfortunately some of them can't run because of some CLEAR instructions inside the code. Maybe it's a memory conflict... But the loading was fine. Any ideas...

I'm doing this for now. But is there a way to use the DriveWire to make it faster ?

I am afraid that the only DSK files that would be read by the 'special' ported HDB-DOS *must* be Tandy-like formatted, so all of the Dragon VDK will fail despite you convert them into DSK just by deleting the header ... but let's see what happens! I'll let you know ! I need to take a look at the Dr...

If that way you can access DSK files, there is a java utility that converts VDK files into DSK format by just removing the header, so they become multiple of 256! Got it ! I made some conversions. I am at work right now, I'll try tonight on the physical Dragon. Thanks for the loading tips. Should I...

I tried yesterday with DriveWire 3, hdbboot.dsk and the small "8 seconds" wav loader. And you know what ? I WORKED PERFECTLY !!!!! :P :P :P :P Here is my configuration on DW 3 : message.png First boot : got the DOS shell and the welcome message. yeahhh !!! DSC_3042.png Switched between the drives wi...

To make sure that I talk with the good words, DWDOS is the "easy to load" version of HDB-DOS ? (not sure to understand the differences between the two). I mean, DWDOS is the combination of a short wav file and the "hdbboot.dsk" loaded into Drive Wire ? Well to sum up I just want to make something wi...

And in my case I can't even make DWDOS working right.

I am looking for the "long" wav version of the HDB-DOS (not the 8 seconds wav file) to try it. Any links ?

Okaaaayyyyy....

So in my case my floopy drive doesn't work (head problem I think) and I don't have the hardware to burn a ROM for my Dragon 32.

So I think that I just can't try it...?
