Dragon Thirty Two

A contemporary of the TandyColorComputer.

I never owned one, but always remember that the case looked as if it could survive a direct hit from a Howitzer.

My very first computer! Typing in games in basic scared me away from programming for about 5 years. Then math scared me into programming again :-)

Didn't it use the ForthLanguage as its OS?

No, it used TrashEighty Basic (more or less).

The JupiterAce was the one that used ForthLanguage.


Not to be confused with the Motorola / Freescale DragonBall? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freescale_DragonBall, a 32 bit processor (including a MotorolaSixtyEightKay) which was used in many PalmPilot machines from PalmOne until they switched to ARM processors.
