Hi John, welcome to the Dragon Archive!

The Dragon 200 board is the same as the Dragon 64.

Regarding the lowercase circuit, you can see our nice scans of the daughterboard here: http://archive.worldofdragon.org/index. ... ragon_200E

Hope this helps!

John W has also done a modern re-creation of the lower case board if you are on facebook, he posts regually there,

Cheers,

Phill.

Phill - it was Jon Davis who enquired after whether I was going to make more lower case boards, and he mentioned some of his potential future plans for development. I mentioned that an RGB board was in beta testing, as it may or may not be a worthwhile venture for him.

No. I reverse engineered them from the photos of the original 200E daughterboard coupled with a little extra information about connectivity under the LS00 on this forum I think. It's quite a simple circuit. How far have you got with it? Didn't you buy one of my more recent SMD versions?

hello,

smd version

not fitted yet

as I want to develop component video mod first

I have found the coco lowercase kit circuit

is it possible implement this type of mod via the cartridge slot ? (by writing lowercase characters from cartridge rom )

Use the expansion port to host VDG character ROM? In short, not a chance.
