From the CoCo Nation Show, mentioned some of the Dragon 32 (Welsh CoCo not-quite-clone) games & books. So I go looking… and they have fuck-all on Archive, or on their own site:
https://archive.worldofdragon.org/

Some of these books look good, but only a few are archived:

I received my "Oojamaflip" #Dragon32 adapter kit today.

It allows cartridges (minus the case) to be installed INTERNALLY to the computer. Still allowing cartridges to be plugged in externally.

It came as a kit, so I was surprised that it worked first time after my infrequent soldering skillz were applied!

With this setup I'm now running the SD interface internally so the cartridge is no longer obstructing the TV stand that I made.

Please don't judge my soldering.

Been working on making MS BASIC for the 6809 to assemble on modern assemblers; managed to get a script together to correctly prefix all comments in as9 listings.

With a few more tweaks I managed to get MS BASIC to assemble on asm6809, still some clear issues with the origins on old as9 vs asm6809

I noticed that not all games were loading correctly on my Dragon 32 computer when using the BackBit cartridge.

I opened up the computer and saw that it was generally clean, except for one exploded cap. Yikes!

This computer needs a recap then.
