Aside from the amount of RAM, the Dragon 64 also has a functional [[RS-232]] [[serial port]] which was not included on the Dragon 32. A minor difference between the two Dragon models is the outer case colour; the Dragon 32 is [[beige]] and the Dragon 64 is light grey. Besides the case, branding and the Dragon 64's serial port, the two machines look the same. The Dragon 32 is upgradable to Dragon 64. In some cases, buyers of the Dragon 32 found that they actually received a Dragon 64 unit.{{ | Aside from the amount of RAM, the Dragon 64 also has a functional [[RS-232]] [[serial port]] which was not included on the Dragon 32.

In addition to the DragonDOS disk operating system, the Dragon 32/64 is capable of running several others, including [[FLEX (operating system)|FLEX]], and even [[OS-9]] which brought [[Unix|UNIX]]-like [[Computer multitasking|multitasking]] to the platform. Memory-expanded and MMU-equipped Dragons are able to run OS-9 Level 2. | In addition to the DragonDOS disk operating system, the Dragon 32/64 is capable of running several others, including [[FLEX (operating system)|FLEX]], and even [[OS-9]] which brought [[Unix|UNIX]]-like [[Computer multitasking|multitasking]] to the platform.

Dragon Data leveraged OS-9 to deliver a suite of office applications on disk for the Dragon 64: the Stylograph word processor, DynaCalc spreadsheet, and Record Management System database. A further four business packages known as the Bookkeeper Series were also announced.<ref name="personalcomputerworld198406_dragon">{{ cite magazine | url=https://archive.org/details/PersonalComputerWorld1984-06/page/194/mode/2up | title=Business disks | magazine=Personal Computer World | last1=Harrington | first1=Tony | date=June 1984 | access-date=8 February 2026 | pages=194–195 }}</ref> | |||

When the system was discontinued, support from software companies also effectively ended. However, Microdeal continued supporting the Dragon until January 1988. Some of their final games developed for the Dragon in 1987 such as ''[[Tanglewood (1987 video game)|Tanglewood]]'' and ''[[Airball (video game)|Airball]]'' were also converted for 16-bit machines such as the [[Atari ST]] and [[Amiga]]. | When the system was discontinued, support from software companies also effectively ended.
