| 2026-03-12: Cocopedia.com is now using a new caching system that should make things faster. Please let me know if you encounter any new issues.
2026-03-15: MediaWiki has been reinstalled and the old database and files restored. It was pretty clogged up from being upgraded so many times since 2004. I am also testing out Cloudflare to see if it can prevent the 'bot assaults that took the site down last year. OS-9 Al (talk) 21:20, 15 March 2026 (EDT)) |

| About the Info Box | |
The Dragon 32 and 64 were near clones of the TRS-80 Color Computer made by Mettoy in the United Kingdom, specifically Wales, which has a red dragon in its flag.
There was also a "Dragon" (no 32 or 64 in the name) made by Tano for the United States market.
In addition to the ports and features standard to the CoCo, the Tano Dragon also had:
- Extended Color BASIC as standard.
- 48K available in BASIC compared to the CoCo's 32K.
- A parallel printer port.
- A 5-pin DIN port for a composite color monitor.
