My 'main' machine is a 64 with the Compusense Dragon Plus on it. All re-housed in a 19" rack cabinet. It's been so long though, I wonder if it will even power up!

Re: Extra PCB fitted to Dragon 32

Hi. Whilst my memory of all things Dragon is more than a little rusty, I do recall that my local electronics emporium had a stack of Dragon 32 motherboards for sale which they told me were units returned to the factory as faulty. I've no idea what I did with these boards (it was so so long ago!) - b...
