| Notes | The Dragon 32 was basically a TRS-80 Color Computer clone. It wasn't 100% compatible, but the specifications were nearly identical and much of the TRS-80 software library would run on a Dragon. |

In the early 1980s Dragon Computer Systems introduced the Dragon 32 in Europe to some reasonable success. The Dragon 32 was modeled after the Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer with some notable improvements including a full-sized keyboard. The Dragon was somewhat TRS-80 compatible and most CoCo cartridges would work in the Dragon.
The Dragon 32 in my collection came with a few accessories including Joysticks and a little software but I'll be unable to test it out until I get a converter that allows me to plug it in.
