Dragon Beta GitHub
Re: Dragon Beta GitHub
Any progress on your Beta guys?
Re: Dragon Beta GitHub
I'm still gathering components and hope to start building mine soon.
I had to move to a new a couple of months ago and hadn't time to put myself into it.

Re: Dragon Beta GitHub
Excellent work John. What's the best way of building this? Use a broken donor Dragon or buy all individual components? Does the board fit the Dragon case or is this totally different?
Re: Dragon Beta GitHub
It's a completely different beast. You'll need to research it, and it will cost you a lot to make it.
Re: Dragon Beta GitHub
Has a complete BOM been shared' for the Beta board?
Re: Dragon Beta GitHub
I'm half way through the Beta board soldering, and would like to know if I can use 4164 ram chips instead of the MK4564N ones.
Other than that, I have almost everything I need including the 93L422A chips.
Oh, how do I order the tree expansion connector in the middle of the board?

Re: Dragon Beta GitHub
Looking good Rob!
I think the two DRAM types are nearly equivalent, or at least I'm sure I've had both types in my Dragons.
I found this handy reference the other day. Might be of use: https://minuszerodegrees.net/memory/4164.htm
Those 3 connectors look like DIN41612 type B 64 way to me, probably sockets, but you'll need to double-check to be sure.

Re: Dragon Beta GitHub
Thanks a lot!
I'm 22 14-pin sockets away of having all sockets installed...
