Yes, there are still a few errors related to the Dragon disk images.

I don't think so.

No, there is not sufficient interest for the Dragon builds. If nobody
could test and debug the Dragon builds over the last months and years,
we shouldn't hold back the release for it. There will be new releases
later :)

Note that the issues relate to booting from and accessing the Dragon
Data compatible disk drives. NitrOS-9 runs otherwise fine on the
Dragon with DriveWire (and possibly with Tandy compatible disk
drives). You can use the coco2 builds. Out of the box the keyboard
layout will be wrong, the simple trick is to set "PORT = d64" inside
level1/coco2/port.mak before building (thanks KenH for this trick).
