The Draco was an 'almost' Amiga clone, it could duplicate much of the custom chipset's video related functions but it wasn't a complete clone as it had no CIA or emulation thereof.  So, it couldn't run some Amiga stuff.  It wasn't a video Toaster either, it did many of the same things but didn't actually have Newtek hardware inside.

Draco did have a faster ZIII bus, I think they called it Rastabahn.  It has ths Zorro connector but I'm not sure if it could do other ZIII cards besides its own custom ones.  Interestingly, one of these cards was a firewire port card, having one tiny four pin firewire socket on it.  Draco themselves claim to have 'lost' the source code for the driver to it, so sadly, no firewire outside the DracoMotion world :-(

Someone more knowledgeable of Draco hardware would be welcome to correct any errors here.  But, I just remember wanting one real bad, and not being able to afford it..
