The Dragon's Claw is an extension cartridge for the Dragon by Lucidata.

It features two parallel I/O ports. One with the BBC User Port pinout, and the second one with a Centronics Printer Port pinout.

The cartridge also allows connecting another cartridge like a disk controller, and up to 4 Dragon Claws.

The heart of the Dragon's Claw is the Rockwell 6522 VIA (Versatile Interface Adaptor) chip.
