The Dragon 32 is a 1980s 8-bit home computer, which was produced for the European market by Dragon Data, Ltd. – initially in Swansea, Wales, before moving to Port Talbot, Wales (until 1984) – and by Eurohard S.A. in Casar de Cáceres, Spain (from 1984 to 1987), and for the US market by Tano of New Orleans, Louisiana.
Dragon 64

Aside from the amount of RAM, the Dragon 64 also has a functional RS-232 serial port; another minor difference between is the outer case colour, as the Dragon 32 is beige and the Dragon 64 is light grey. Besides the case, branding and the serial port, the two machines look the same, and the Dragon 32 is upgradable to Dragon 64. In some cases, buyers of the Dragon 32 found that they actually received a Dragon 64 unit.
