Above is a photo of my retro corner setup:

1. Dragon 64 with dual disk drive
2. Grandtec GVC-1000 video to VGA console + additional VGA input
3. Composite AV cable from https://www.8bitclassics.com/product/ta ... -av-cable/
4. Dragon DriveWire from Tormod Volden
5. Raspberry Pi-400 with micro HDMI to VGA adapter, connected to the Grandtec and running Xroar
6. USB -> RS232 DSUB9 -> DIN7 null-modem connection between the two computers
7. Panasonic KX-P1081 dot matrix printer

Do you have a similar setup you would like to share?

My goal is to start using the Dragon again regularly for everyday tasks, like writing documents, sending emails, etc. The Dragon keyboard is actually very good.

Nice setup! What application do you plan to make use of and how to you solve the network connectivity?

Edit: Ah, guess you'll be using Fast Edit for text writing?
