YuT666 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hi, i used the CoCo SDC interface for my Dragons so far and it worked very well. I've a CoCo 2 as well, so i tried to run the interface with this one. What i did: - changed the Dragon DIP switch to off (all switched are "down" now) and removed the jumper from the DRQ pins - plugged the interface in and ... ... i only got the normal CoCo 2 basic screen. After that i put the jumper to AUTO and i only got a white screen and nothing happens. Well, i think, that i should get at least the SDC boot screen ,,, Who could help? Thanks.

MarkO Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 As a point of Clarification, Ed ( Zippster ) only Assembles and Ships the CoCoSDC.. The CoCoSDC was Designed by Darren Atkinson ( http://cocosdc.blogspot.com/), and Daren still does all the Firmware updates. http://www.cocopedia.com/wiki/index.php/CoCoSDC MarkO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillLoguidice Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Hi, i used the CoCo SDC interface for my Dragons so far and it worked very well. I've actually been having the opposite problem. I can get the CoCoSDC to work just fine on my CoCos (auto-booting into CoCoSDC Explorer), but can't get it to work on my Tano Dragon. I have switch 1 up and 2, 3, and 4 down, and the DRQ pins jumpered (the Auto is not). My Dragon boots to a green screen with or without an SD card in the slot. Any tips?

MarkO Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Yut666 and BillLoguidice: You also need to have the Dragon version of SDC-DOS installed on the SDC... My CoCoSDCs are from Zippster's First Batch, and I don't believe they have the Dragon Version installed... https://goo.gl/ePgwe1 MarkO Edited March 13, 2018 by MarkO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the VDK in the root of the card, but I get a green screen with or without the SD card installed. Are you saying there's something else I need to do?

YuT666 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 As i mentioned before ... I don't have any problems with the Dragon + CoCoSDC. Had one regarding the CoCo 2, but the reason was the missing ext. Basic ROM in my CoCo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YuT666 Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Finally found a cheap solution and upgraded my CoCo2 to 64k (2x 4464) and Extended Basic on an ordinary 27128 eprom (Extended Basic V1.1 - 0h -1FFFh & Color Basic V1.3 - 2000h - 3FFFh).
