why is not the dragon 32 listed as platform?
check the specs:
http://www.vintage-computer.com/dragon32.shtml
was the dragon 32 outhunted by the c64, or what.
if anyone know about this had any demos. please tell.
if demo are made on this machine, it is released as wild?
or am i missing something here. |

It's not listed because there are few if any demos for it. Feel free to make some to remedy the situation. After you've made some, put them here as wild and maybe someone will add the platform :p |

For now, there's a TRS-80/Coco platform.. the Dragon 32/64 and Coco 3 are nearly the same. Looks like somebody just made a Dragon 64 nyan cat. :) |

Sorry, Coco 1/2, not 3. |

It'd be somewhat interesting platform to try: lovely 6809 and plenty of weird screen modes. I have one in pristine condition (me and a friend probably bought all the remaining Dragons in Finland from their Finnish representative) and was thinking of doing something for it, but never did. Disc drives are exceedingly rare, but probably the cassette port could be used for uploading the code like with many other 8-bits. |

dammit, marq is more obsessed with oldschool processors than I am. marq you're crazy. |

Oh yeah! The 6809 is a _very_ nice processor! |
|
|
what phoenix said
also, there's a bunch of ways to get data on coco/dragon/etc, like sd/mmc adapters, alternative floppy systems, etc |

superb. seems like there is some interest afterall. yeah, the 6809 is afaik better than the 6502 with some little differences (after a quick look). |
