This cartridge allows you to convert programs from the Tandy Colour Computer to the Dragon 32 and vice versa. The cartridge is inserted in the cartridge port, the computer is then switched on and the program to be changed is loaded in. By typing an EXEC figure, DECODE will display your options, i.e. which way you want to convert the program.

You are told line-by-line of the program's progress but this is hardly necessary as the programs are converted in just a few seconds. A 16K program takes about 25 seconds to convert. Once changed, the program can be manipulated and saved onto tape according to your wishes.

Every program I converted worked on the other machine and if you have a number of programs on tape for one computer and wish to convert them to another then this is an ideal solution. However, it only converts Basic programs without Disc commands and is poorly packaged with a single page leaflet. At £18.40 it is reasonably priced for a cartridge.

Unless you have a vast amount of material to convert, you may be better advised to buy a cassette that performs the same functions, slower but cheaper.
