‘What would I do with…’
Released in 1982, the Dragon 64 was a Motorola 6809-based microcomputer by Welsh-based Dragon Data Ltd. Based on the Dragon 32 platform, the Dragon 64 contained an additional 32KB of Ram (for 64KB in total), a grey - rather than beige - case, and a RS-232 serial port.
Visit The Dragon Archives for more details on both the Dragon 32 and 64.
