I added my profile to the wiki group, but I still have no access to the wiki (editing pages). I'm not sure what the wiki group membership is meant to be.
Hi JeeK,

I see your account on the wiki, created in 2016, and it seems to be ok. We might be able to figure out what's not working. Feel free to PM me. Are you able to login to the wiki? What page are you trying to edit?

I added a few numbers from the german forum thread: https://forum.classic-computing.de/foru ... ennummern/
see the diff: https://archive.worldofdragon.org/index ... oldid=9891

And now i see: My Eurohard, S.A. "012157 EC" Label was in the wrong table, because it's a white one ;)

By the way, while copying the serial numbers to the wiki page, I noticed a Dragon 32 in the white label section, with number 012157 EC, which I think it's misplaced, and even if it has a white label, I think it should be on the Dragon 32 Yellow label section as it has a very low serial number and it's unlikely to have been manufactured in Spain at that early time.

Maybe the color of the sticker is less of a clue than the factory code (DG, LT, EC), and which code was DH?

DG is either Swansea or Port Talbot, LT is Port Talbot, EC is Caceres. But DH? Is that real or is it a typo?

I have a DH.

What I can’t tell you is - other than it’s a Dragon 64 - what revision of motherboard/PSU was originally in it. Swapped things around too often.

That’s good info, thank you!

I’ve noticed that Swansea and Port Talbot share the DG code and there’s the DH, which seems to be Port Talbot only.

Are these two letters actually a factory code or is it another thing?

Hello, beautiful people!

I spotted a Dragon 200-E on a spanish auction site, and saved a picture of the label to add the data to our list.

The only problem is that the label says "Modelo Dragon 200" and not "Modelo 200-E", so I don't know if the serial numbers are shared with those of the Dragon 200.

The serial number being 1033EC, lower than those of the 200s, makes me thing they have their own set of serial numbers.

So should I create a section for the 200-E, or should I add it to the 200 list specifying that it is a 200-E?

Cheers,
Rob

Ooh, another Dragon 200E? I seem to remember the last one being somewhere in the region of €1000. How much was this one?

Probably ought to have a seperate section for 200Es in my opinion.
