Using Floppy Disks With The Dragon Microcomputer v1
Posted: Tue Apr 24, 2012 10:40 pm
Hello everyone!
A user from the spanish ZonaDePruebas forum sent me the book "Using Floppy Disks With The Dragon Microcomputer" scanned.
It is an interesting book as it was edited by Cumana/Premier and it has the complete list of commands and parameters of Delta DOS. I recognize that without a book like this, a Delta controller is completely useless (I borrowed one from a friend of mine and couldn't get it to even format a disk...).
So, I've made a nice OCR and reformatted it so close as the original as possible, and added hyperlinks from the index pages to the sections on the book.
Then, why v1? Because I don't have a quality scan of the cover of the book, and pages 48-49 were missing (pages 46-47 were repeated twice).
If I can get the two missing pages and the cover, I'll make the definitive version.
You'll find the OCR'ed pdf file attached and you can download the original file here.
Please take a look at it. Suggestions and corrections are welcome!
