Just wanted to introduce myself. The Dragon was my first computer when i was a kid. I'll admit, i wanted a Spectrum, but my dad was paying, so...
I learned to program on the Dragon, but then a few years later i moved to the BBC Micro, then the Amiga, and by '92 i was on PC's
I still have all my original machines, but a little over a year ago, i donated the Dragon and the Amiga to my friend for his retro computer collection. I kept the beeb because it has special sentimental value for me, so i nursed that back to health and suddenly found myself collecting retro machines! since then i've collected and repaired 2 Spectrums, a BBC Master, an Oric Atmos, and a ZX81, plus a few handheld i'd owned in the past and regretted selling on. I also started to regret giving my friend my Dragon and Amiga. He kindly agreed to give me them back, I've now got both machines again! Sadly, the Dragon is missing a key
![Crying or Very Sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
I haven't touched it since getting it back, but i want to restore it back to its former glory, so a strip down and clean, but i also need to source an "S" key. My friend is still looking for it, but with no luck, we think it might be in the kids massive lego box!
I don't intend to do much beyond the restoration, other than find some means of loading software without using a cassette player.
