I don't really know if there is a good place here to make a small presentation, so let's do it here.

I'm a big (french) fan of vintage computers, and I have since a few weeks a fully working Dragon 32 in my collection (and the Dragondos cardrige and external floopy drive !!). I found this in a yard sale, in a very bad state (stored in a box under heavy rain
![Crying or Very Sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
After a big opening/cleaning restoration, the Dragon now works great ! I also made a tape-to-computer audio cable in order to load game WAV tape files, it works great^^

I am also working on the DriveWire interface to get more possibilities with it...!
So why I am here ? Because I have some questions... First, my floopy drive can't read discs. I also have issues with the Drive Wire interface...
![Embarrassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
I have also interesting french books that talks about the Dragon that are not on the wiki page. I can share some scans ! Also, my Dragon 32 board looks different from the ones that we can see on this site : I don't have the video tv modulator on the power supply board and I have an other unknown board for the graphics. Maybe my version was special for the french market ? Again, you may be interested by some pictures.
I also like to understand how these kind of computers works, maybe I'll try to make a cardrige from scratch...
What else ? On the personal side I am a robotics engineer in a stone sculpture workshop.
Here we are ! Please excuse me for my English, remember that I'm french ^^
