Don't Call It A CoCo! Wonderful 1980s 8-Bit Computer From Wales - The Dragon32

time2 yr agoview9 views

The Dragon32 was released by the Dragon Data Ltd in 1982 and is based on the same Motorola MC68883 reference design as Tandy's TRS-80 Color Computer or "CoCo", although not strictly a clone, in my opinion.
