If enough people are interested, i will make a little batch.Are you planning to order a small batch when finished?
If not, i make it myself, because then it's cheaper.
Re: Recreating the DragonPlus Board
Hi Fabian,
I will gladly buy two boards.
One to 'collect' this artwork and the other to be populated and used on a Dragon64

Re: Recreating the DragonPlus Board
It looks awesome!
I've uploaded a picture of the character set and linked the dumps of the character rom and the prom to the Dragon Plus page.
Cheers,
Rob

Re: Recreating the DragonPlus Board
Has anyone managed to get a good dump of the 82s147 PROM ?
I have a plus board where this has failed, would be good to replace it sometime.
Cheers.

Re: Recreating the DragonPlus Board
Fabian, welcome to the forums! What a beautiful project!
Do you have the original board, or are you basing it on the photos in the wiki? What do you use for layouting?
Robcfg, by the way, what is the story of the clone boards on the wiki page?

Re: Recreating the DragonPlus Board
Manu sent me the boards that are scanned in the wiki.
He had the original board with everything removed, and the clone board with the original components fitted.
I dumped the character rom and prom chips, and I'm trying to make the board work. Anyway, we have what we need to emulate or clone it.
I think he got the board from a computer shop in Paris, that was about the only distributor of Dragon stuff near to where he lives. I'll ask him if he remembers anything else about it.
