Re: Orchestra-90 CC - now running without the cartridge!

Very cool! Looking forward to trying this out. I hope there is a way we can load those files over DriveWire... On Bill Pierce's Orchestra-90cc web page I found this Orchestra file player that works on CoCo and on my Dragon 32 as well it turned out. It must be using the "compatibility" vectors for ke...

Re: Piotr Bugaj dragon disc controller

From what I can see Piotr = zaxon and this is the newly made controller mentioned in viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5362

You already found it out yourself, but in one of his videos https://plus.google.com/s/zaxoniec he shows switching between the 4 DOSes.

Re: Compiling Stone Raider II

Welcome to the forum, Kan! Cool stuff. Thanks also to Rolf for sharing this in the first place! I have a couple of suggestions: 1. bin2cas.pl can read the load and exec address directly from the DECB binary, so you don't have to enter them on the command line. But for lwasm to embed the exec address...

Re: File2VDK anyone?

Bosco, unless Fil2VDK translates DECB binaries into Dragon DOS binaries, this won't work because the RUN command is a Dragon DOS command that will load and run only a file in Dragon DOS format. Anyway, you are well aware that XRoar can load a DECB binary straight into memory without using DOS and di...

If you need someone to make tests on this, you can count on me.
Does the Orchestra-90 ROM include its own mini-DOS and access the disk controller directly, or how does it work?
