Re: Five Dragon multi cartridges for sale

Apologies for being late to this thread! I'm quite tempted by one of these (always a sucker for a new gizmo for my Dragon), but I don't have an eprom programmer, and don't really have the first clue what's involved. However, I'm *also* a sucker for new toys - so maybe I should add a programmer to my...

Thomson's 6809 based computers

Hi all, a little off topic this, forgive me ... eBay is tempting me into buying a Thomson computer from the mid-80s (there's a range, here's a typical example - http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=643 ). They seem to be pretty good bargains, perhaps the French aren't as nostalgic abou...

Re: how to develop Dragon programms?

Just checking I'm not missing something - why don't you load the ascii files directly into Xroar? why do you convert them to .cas files first? I'm sure it supports loading text files. I wanted to load a program from an old magazine so I scanned it, OCR'd it, tidied up the output, and I'm sure it jus...

Ooh, and can anyone tell me what it does, I'm intrigued! And might it work with a Dragon?

Build your own 6809 based computer!

Hi all - this is well beyond my technical skills, but I stumbled across this recently and thought it might be of interest to everyone here:

I'd be fascinated to see one in action!

Re: XRoar 0.29 available

Five! Happy New Year again!

I know we're now sliding off-topic, but I rather like the idea of text mode hack style game - are there any out there already?

Re: Masterstroke II

Hi Neil, and welcome to the forum!

I can't believe I'm the first to ask this - do you still have your much expanded Dragon? I'm sure that many people here (myself included) would be fascinated to know all about it!

Cheers,

Tony.

Re: Greetings fellow Dragonauts!

Hi Gareth, and welcome to the forum! I'm not from Ireland, but I'm sure you can't be alone. I know what it's like when the retrobug hits, and be aware, it's quite addictive. And yes, this is quite a busy forum - it continually surprises me how new things continue to happen, even after 30 years. In r...

Re: Dragon Data History Snippet

Absolutely fascinating! And if you're really quick, you could snap one up too - bidding just got much too rich for me (and frustratingly, I see this item was relisted after failing to sell a few weeks back - I guess the article has piqued someone's interest). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OLD-LAPTOP-THO...
