Only evidence of it ever working is at http://www.dragondata.co.uk/hardware/Beta/Drag%20Beta.html Confirmed working with both MESS 0.112 and MESS 0.125 with floppy os9l2v11 from current software list.
No.15821 Pernod Developer Nov 22, 2018, 23:14	I've narrowed down the regression to MESS 0.139, so last working release was MESS 0.138 which successfully boots with floppy os9l2v11 from the current dgnbeta_flop software list.
