I know this is nothing to do with Dragon Data, but their dragon logo has clearly been pilfered...............bottom left hand side of the box.

I saw this:

on a spanish auction site.
Anyone knows if it's a legit peripheral by Dragon Data so I can create a wiki entry?

Hmm a rebadged Mattel Aquarius tape deck...
Its possible as I think Radofin made this for Mattel and later Radofin were working with Eurohard (hence the dragon logo style) on an MSX project.

That's - I'm pretty certain - the tape recorder manufactured for sale with the Dragon 200! I want one! HOW DO I GET ONE?!?!?!
Anyways... you can see it on this ad for the 200 from the archive:

Well spotted!
That solves the mistery, then.
I'll keep an eye on local sites to see if we can find one.
Cheers,
Rob

Cheers mate. If you can help me get hold of one, one day, then I'd be incredibly grateful.
My 200 is my pride and joy, and now I feel like there's something missing. To be honest, I'd always assumed those branded recorders were unicorns and never existed out in the real world.

Just thought I'd revive this thread, as we now know someone on the forum who actually has the cassette drive! See:
