[Coco] DRAGON TANO Arrived

[Ken H]

You need to replace the FDC rom. 
It's easiest to replace on the FD-502 which has a 28 pin EPROM in a socket. 
I've actually burnt  both the Tano Superdos rom and a CoCo Dos rom on one 16k EPROM and installed a DIP switch for a switchable Coco/Dragon controller.
