Dragon 200

The Dragon 200 was Eurohard’s Spanish relaunch of the Dragon 64. Its redesigned low-profile case had a flat upper surface suitable for a monitor, while the internal architecture and software compatibility remained closely aligned with the earlier machine.

Production moved from Wales to Cáceres after Eurohard acquired the Dragon business. The computer continued the established 6809, cartridge, cassette and disk ecosystem for Spanish and European customers.

Notable Features

• Redesigned desktop case could support a monitor.
• Retained 64KB RAM, RS-232 and broad Dragon 64 compatibility.
• Manufactured in Spain by Eurohard after Dragon Data’s British operation ended.

Historical Significance

• Represents the survival of the Dragon platform under Spanish ownership.
• Carried a notable Welsh computer design into a second European manufacturing phase.

Collector’s Notes

• Internal hardware is closely related to the Dragon 64 despite the very different case.
• Spanish-market keyboard legends and Eurohard branding help identify original examples.
