Let's settle this question once and for all: Is the Dragon computer a clone of the Tandy Color Computer? Let's have a close look at a Dragon 64 and a CoCo 2 to try and answer that question. Along the way I may end up making a composite video mod for the CoCo and what's possibly the world's worst multi-cart system for both computers.
