I've decided to try to get my Dragon 64 running again.
I got it from Bob Rosen of Spectrum Projects. He
stripped all the socketed chips from it, however.
So I need to find a set of Dragon 64 ROMS, and
identify what chips go in U19 and U15.
I'm pretty sure that the one closest to the ROMS is
the 6809E, but not sure of what the other chip should
be.
What makes this more difficult is that this is not a
British Dragon. This is an American one made by Tano
Corporation.
I wish I had just offered him some money for the
original chips way back when...
I can buy a whole new Dragon for $35.00 + S/H, and if
I can't get a set of ROMS and the missing chip cheaper
than that.. I may just do that and keep this one as a
spare...
I wish I still had the Dragon disk controller also...
I know I can use a Tandy Controller, but I think I'll
need a different Disk Basic ROM for it. If anyone can
help with that, I'd be obliged...

Al Hartman
P.S.: On the Apple II pricing discussion in a
different thread. I agree with Sellam re the pricing.
The buyer could easily resell the items he didn't want
on eBay and get the prices that Sellam quoted.
And who knows if those IIGS's contain RAM boards or
even Super SCSI cards that would be work $15.00 for
the RAM card, and $40 and up for the SCSI cards.
