Dragon Data sold both single and double disk drive interfaces. Single Drives were housed in the same case used for the double drive system, so adding an additional drive to convert a single drive to a double drive was a simple procedure. The Dragon DOS cartridge provided the disk operating system and WD2797 based controller.
