The magazine was published on, or around the 15th of every other month, commencing with January of each year, but after nine years it ceased publication in May 2000, following the demise of the NDUG.
Originally published in Dragondos & Superdos on 5.25 disks. It is still available for the Dragon and as PC disks for the upgraded Dragon emulator. A number of issues are also available for the Coco2 or the Coco3 on PC disks which can be run on either the Coco2 or Coco3 emulators, please state preferred PC disk format. All issues will eventually be placed online at www.dragon-archive.co.uk
ALL ISSUES NOW AVAILABLE ON LINE
If you have a copy of Paul Burgin's upgraded PCDRAGON emulator then all 53 issues of the magazine (from September 1981 to May 2000) are now available online below. Although the editor thought he knew everything about the Dragon when he started the magazine, he quickly realised he was on a learning curve and the later issues are technically far superior. The earlier issues, however, have the advantage of containing informative articles by a wider variety of people.
Please remember the magazine was written for the Dragon and mainly for the Dragon 64, consequently some of the software featured in the magazine, particularly in the later issues can not be run on the Dragon 32.
Some issues of the magazine were also issued in RSDOS format for the Tandy Coco 2, although they were produced on the Coco3. Only a sample copy of issue 39 of the magazine, is available in Coco 'virtual' disk format below, although I hope to put all the available Coco versions online in due course. The software contained in these issues, however, having been created for the Dragon will not run on the Coco without conversion and if you are keen on converting these programs to the Coco format you will need to download a copy of the Dragon notebook, which is available online on the relevant page on this website.

COCO2 or COCO3 Emulator
Download U2D39A - Emulator DSK file
Download U2D39B - Emulator DSK file
Unzip these and load the 'A' file into Drive 0 in the Coco2/3 Emulator and the 'B' file into Drive 2 then RUN"U2D" to read the magazine. As this version was written for the Coco3, you will have to change one or two lines in the control program by placing a REM in front of any line which reads - !32 - when running it on the Coco2, as this refers to the line WIDTH32 in the Coco3.
