Hi Sorry for taking so long to get aroun...

Re: New Member, long time Dragon 32 owner

Your composite output actually doesn't look too bad for a Dragon. The MKII machines had a sharper image than the earlier models thanks to an improved circuit. Not sure what would cause the ghosting on the right, other than the video signal being too high and causing a bit of saturation somewhere. I...

Re: New Member, long time Dragon 32 owner

Hi. Couple of updates. The Dragon has been stripped, re-capped, cleaned and re-assembled. IMG_0746.JPG IMG_0777.JPG IMG_0781.JPEG The Logo I printed myself in lieu of getting a nice replacement.

Re: New Member, long time Dragon 32 owner

Regarding means to load software, you can take a look at the CASduino if you want to load tape images, or the DragonMMC, CoCoSDC or Drivewire, if you want to load tape/disk/rom images, either from a SD card or from a modern computer. I didn't know there was an MMC reader for the Dragon! I'll check ...
