They're both rubber-keyed 48Ks, got em about 10 years ago for spares, finally got round to trying to fix em

*when the Welsh make a microcomputer*

It was possible to increase the speed of the computer by using POKE 65495,0 which accelerates the ROM-resident BASIC interpreter, but temporarily disables correct functioning of the cassette/printer ports

2019-08-24 07:47:54 UTC  

i understand *some* of it! proud 😛

The Dragon's main display mode is 'black on green' text (actually the black was a deeper, muddier green).

2019-08-24 07:48:19 UTC  

omg the matrix

2019-08-24 07:49:57 UTC  

funny enough

2019-08-24 07:50:00 UTC  

some games used that poke

2019-08-24 07:50:41 UTC  

and when they made a new model

the CPU was made of shitter components, so it couldn't do the poke.

so that meant a good chunk of games wouldn't work on certain models of the Dragon computers
