SOLD: Dragon 32 computer with PSU

[PhilC]

Would anyone like to buy a Dragon 32 with power supply? £75 ish. Had a poorly MC6821P so the keyboard wouldn't work, which I've now replaced.

Has the word DONE in UV pen on top of the case but hardly noticeable.

Need to degauss my TV.

Interesting, my Dragon had exactly the same issue with the keyboard. Also, the key switches aren't the best...

The keys seem okay. They are about the same as on my TI-99 keyboard.

Mine are awful, not a patch on my Ti-994a. Possibly depends on when they were built I guess.

Does this one work with the speed-up poke without crashing?

I have no idea what that is but will try it if you give me the info

Apparently it's Poke 65495,0.

Haven't tried it myself either.

That is indeed the one, some Dragons would hang, whilst others would work as it cranked the cpu clock to the dizzy heights of 1.8MHz; I have unhappy recollections of applying that poke then forgetting to revert it before saving a game, only to find i then couldn't load it back in 😞

I'll see about trying it on mine. I assume that it's just a case of getting to basic, poking and then loading whatever you want? Just figuring how it might work with my CoCoSD.

1.8Mhz, isn't that double the usual speed? Can imagine it might be a bit wobbly...

[Hellraiseruk]

Don't try loading or saving with the poke active, think you have to poke 65494,0 to revert it beforehand otherwise all the timings will be out. It was a common poke in type- in listings of the time, you'll know it's worked as the cursor will flash twice as fast.
