Attic find - 70 or so cassettes
Hi All, Having had a trawl round the loft, I've found a box of about 70 cassettes (at least boxes with tapes inside - I haven't checked all the contents...). Most are the usual suspects but there may be something in here of interest. Most have inlay cards, 'tape only' means I only have the cassette ...

Re: Atari Joystick Adapter Build. Baby Step by Baby Step.
Hi Rob, that's the one. No, I don't have the adapter, box or manuals. Back in the day we used a pair of 'T' shaped digital joysticks with tiny fire buttons that had Dragon plugs on - I expect they're in the loft somewhere too. I later aquired someone else's DIY analogue joystick that was a pain as i...

Re: Atari Joystick Adapter Build. Baby Step by Baby Step.
Hi All, Just seen this post. Having rekindled my interest in my Dragon and spending time in the loft, I came across a box of games. Inside the box is a cassette for an Atari type joystick adapter from back in the day called a 'Dragon Tamer' (I'm assuming this is old news). It wasn't mine originally ...

Re: Returning member (Lancashire)
Happy Lancashire Day (apparently)! Thanks sixxie like many (most?) in Lancashire, I missed this.

I remember the Dragon line of computers from 82/83, and then they seemed t...

Returning member (Lancashire)
Hi All, I'm a returning member from Lancashire - I grew up with a Dragon 32 in the '80s and have various other bits of 8-bit kit. I have recently been clearing out the loft and discovered various Dragon related artefacts. It's great to see the community is still around and active and I'm interested ...

Re: Hello from a new member
Thanks for your previous efforts Rob.
I hadn't realised it was OCR'd, excellent job, it has been a great help understanding my machines.
John.

Re: Build your own 6809 based computer!
Although new to the forum, I have a long standing interest in 6809 based processors (whilst at uni I used my Dragon to test run 6800 machine code and my final year project was image processing Landsat images in assembler on a dedicated 6809 system). In fact I do have a 6809 'development board', boug...

Re: Hello from a new member
Hi Rob, Thanks for the welcome.Yes very pleasing to see so much activity today (always useful as I've recently received a Dragon which needs a bit of attention). I remember looking for web sites/forums some time ago but the ones I found seemed rather quiet. I found my way here from the article on th...

Hello from a new member
Hi All, I'm a Dragon User from the very early days, my first computer was a Dragon 32 and I still have it somewhere (along with another 32 and a 64) and a few other accessories and spares lying around. I've got a few other 8-bits (mostly Acorn and Memotech) and a couple of Atari STs. It is good to s...

Hello from a new member
Hi All, Without an obvious forum/thread for new members to post to I thought I'd start here. I'm an old Dragon user from the early days (and still have the original hardware somewhere - 2x 32s and a 64) and have a general interest in various other 8-bit platforms (Acorn & Memotech mostly) and the At...
