Default Re: Dragon 32

Yes, I have fond memories of the Dragon 32, originally assembled a couple of miles from where I was brought up in Swansea. I bought it with the sole object of writing a flight simulator that could do full 3D aerobatics and eventually managed to write several kilobytes of machine code totally by hand without the benefit of an assembler. I found a PCB for add on EPROMS and put the flight simulator into an EPROM but copied into RAM on startup because there was some magic POKE that fiddled with the registers of the address multiplexer and ran code from RAM at double speed.

Happy days but I am afraid the Dragon 32 and all the notes on the flight simulator are long gone.
