• VDKDump (Dragon 64, DragonDos)

  Read the DragonDos diskette in drive 0 and send it in the VDK virtual diskette format to the serial port to a host computer. The host computer can save this file and use it directly in any of the popular Dragon emulators that exist. The program is hardcoded to communicate at 9600 baud using 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 2 stop bits and no parity. Hardware flow control is supported through the Dragon DTR and CTS signals. Only single-sided 40 track diskettes is supported.
