Re: Dragon 64 with a couple of issues

Glad to hear you fixed the Iss4 PSU board - it should be fairly easy to replicate the PCB if there was enough interest.

As for the keyboard, there must surely be some way of removing the back plate - is it held by small plastic tabs, or riveted?

WTB Dragon power supply

Does anyone have a UK standard power supply?

I have acquired a Dragon 32 and a Dragon 64 (unboxed) with a few bits of software, but unfortunately, don't have any leads at all (especially the power supply!)

Dragon Joystick Adaptor

Does anyone make adaptors to allow Atari standard joysticks to be used with the Dragon?

Re: Broken Dragon

Well I have replaced the burnt out capacitor on the board, but unfortunately don't get any TV output still.

Any Dragon users who live local to Stoke-on-Trent willing to help have a look at this one?

Otherwise, anyone with a Dragon 32 for sale?

Re: Broken Dragon

Many thanks Phill - there is a row of jumpers - they are all in the same position (closed from memory as the Dragon is not in front of me at the moment) On my D32 issue 2 with OKI RAM the jumpers are set the same as the in the top photograph on this page http://www.studio68.no/surveys/dragon/ram.as...

Re: Broken Dragon

The power regulator is REG 3 - a 7905CT if anyone has any spare - I only have 7805 regulators I can't read the C11 capacitor I believe you should be able to get the 7905 from the local Maplins (if you have one near you). One thing I did think of, is does the main board have a row of jumpers at the ...

Re: Broken Dragon

One up and one down for the regulators is normal - you should *NOT* connect them both as they have different potentials. If you take a pic of the motherboard I can let you know which PSU modules are compatible... Oh well that resolves that - I presume it may just be the capacitor C11 which is blown...
