Can I register my interest for one (or more) of these. I was trying to persuade myself to make one from scratch but I've been beaten to it!

agree, you are interested please let me know my email telling me how many units you want and your shipping address.

I then attests them a price and when will be ready.

only have to make the payment when we confirm that your unit is manufactured and tested.

The new series will be available around the beginning of October, but that no one suffers, eventually there will be enough for everyone

regards

You could even use Dragon floppy drive units and floppy disks (or HxC floppy emulator) on a Tandy CoCo by using one of these controllers with the COCODOS 1.0 ROM image included with Steve Woolham's DragonCoCo v1.0.

Just received the Dragon Dos controller I've ordered from LAFUMAT and it's working great!
I've been able to boot up OS9 on my Dragon again for the first time after more than 20 years ;)
Works great with the Hxc floppy emulator.
It was a pleasant surprise to find out that the controller is much smaller than the original DragonDos monster - it's only 11cm X 6.5 cm.
Note that it arrives without any casing, need to find a source for a box to protect it.

What is the purpose of the TAPE jumper and the 6 pin socket on the upper right corner of the DOS controller?
