Dragon 32 for sale.

Hi, After a rough year I have decided to pare back my collection of computers and to let my dragon go. It’s a stock 32 with manual, psu and some 20 odd cassette tapes.

Quick & dirty test for new 63C09

Hi all,
Does anyone have a quick test to check the 63C09 I fitted to my old trusty Dragon 32 today. It works just as It did beforehand and I know the benefits of a 63c09 are under the hood so just wanted to check it’s not a rebadged 6809.

This issue 2 is really early too the date code for the chips are week 44 1982 there are only 8 OKI chips as well. That sounds like one of the boards using "half good" 64K chips. Those are the easiest boards to upgrade to 64K. Cheers. Phill. Nice... Anyone got a link for the project please. Richie. ...
