[Coco] Tano Dragon on ebay

[Benoit Bleau]

I've got the ROM from MESS, and I can build the Nitros9 from my linux PC :)

I assume then, that there is no modifications needed on the coco 
controller?  Does this mean that the Tano ROM was modified to work with 
this controller?

I'm anxiously looking forward to receive my brand new Tano Dragon :D  
Terry from CA Digital said it would be in the mail Monday.

Thanks Phill!
