I'll second that - it's amazing to see all this new and impressive stuff being created for the Dragon. Astonishing.

Oooh! So are you going to take the plunge and switch it on?

That's the video chip from the later MSX computers? Has someone interfaced this to a Dragon or Coco? Seriously cool if they have! And I guess, given it works with a Z80, then that's not impossible ...

I have nothing practical to add to this thread, but I just want to say it's awesomely clever what you've done here. I love the idea of 80 columns and potentially multi-monitors on my Dragon 32. It amazes me that after 30 odd years, exciting new things are *still* being developed for this computer!

Oh wow, this takes me back. Probably my last, and easily most complex, project for the Dragon was an RTTY decoder.

It's like a 'Super Dragon' - I would have felt right at home with this device, much of what I'd learned about the Dragon architecture and 68...

I use one of these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AV-to-VGA-Converter-for-Projector-and-PC-Displays-Composite-Video-In-VGA-Out-/321303690674 - a little composite to VGA convertor, as I've got lots of VGA flatscreen monitors kicking around. The quality is acceptable - there's probably only so much I can...

Is there any chance the person who owns the Dragon 200 in the wiki could add a picture that compares the 200 with a 64? I can't quite picture how different the cases are. I found this - http://www.museo8bits.com/dragon.htm - but it's a little small. Thanks!
