Wonder if its a splinter operation from one of the global PC companies?

Well they have branched out recently - you can see the Advantage of that even
if it is Riscy.

Perhaps there's a subtle hint of Tangerine.

Be wary of travelling in that direction - there be dragons ...

Apricot certainly - whilst the poor Amstrad had to do without a fruit 'n' nut
name but instead made do with a picture of the Cadbury's variety on the cover
of every issue of their main magazine.

Hey - a past Tangeriney! I didn't know that anyone else
ever had one. Did you have trouble getting an ASCII
keyboard out of them? Great fun though. I built a back
plane and racking system for mine, and designed and
built a 16k memory board. Got a job on the basis of
the work I did on that little project.

The Dragon 32 was partially "compatible" (i.e. a rip off) with the Tandy
6809 based Colour Computer (CoCo). As a result the dragon would run a
fir bit of the coco's software...

I must admit to not finding any references to it now, although I
remember seeing the adds for them at the time in the early issues of PCW
etc. Roughly about the same time as the rather outlandish looking DAI
computers...

Old age. I'm sure I once knew the CoCo abbreviation for the (expensive and
not very good spec) Tandy. ;-(

I'm not sure whether it was a Tangerine or a Microtan Computers back then
didn't seem very pointful.

Owain

One and the same. Tangerine was the company and Microtan the product.
All in kit form. No, it wasn't very useful except to build and play around
with. There wasn't even an assembler so you had to calculate program jumps!
As for games - a strange shooting game which was *very* fast because it was
handcoded assembler accessing the screen memory directly. I remember
writing a word processor and even started to plan a disk patch for an 8"
floppy I had acquired. That was never finished.

Takes me back. I spent many happy hours playing with my Dragon. 40
chars per line, 50hz interlaced - how ever did we put up with it?

It was a step up from all your input and output being printed on a teletype
terminal (no monitor) and prohrams saved on punched tape!

I ignored the Dragon and Tandy and moved straight from a HEKTOR to an Amstrad
CPC (then PCW) - though I used an Acorn BBC computer whenever I could get my
hands on one. Next step after that was borrowing Acorn A3000s then purchasing
an Acorn RiscPC.
