Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project

Excellent work, thanks for the wonderful news about your project! For the display BOM cut, wouldn't you just need to have a boot ROM that can be used to mount .dsk's, load .tap's and so on, a la Erebus/Cumulus? Or did you have in mind to maybe have a serial line interface that could just give the Or...

Re: Launch c program with parameters

jacqu, if you figure this out, perhaps we could do a C implementation that could be plonked into the OSDK, as well? Its something I've often thought about, but never considered there wouldn't be a std arg parser in the C lib ..

Re: Upgrade Time: Encounter

It just looks so nice, Dbug, I can't wait to play it on a real Atmos. Your aesthetic treatment is very appealing - good solution on the non-paths. Hope you left some easter eggs though .. ;)

Where are these guys now?

Check out this great segment on the Oric-1 from the "80's Computer Boom (TV Eye 1983) television program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C7Me77gCmA&t=219s I wonder where these kids are now? Anyone recognize them? Their attitude about the Oric-1 is so salient and coherent .. very fun to re...

Set X / Y reg with BASIC?

Is there a way to set the X and Y regs from within BASIC? I've got this mini-assembly routine that'll do it (from Personal Computer News #81, "Plenty of Sound on Oric and Atmos"), but I'm wondering if there is some way to do it that would be compliant with the 10-LINE BASIC PROGRAMMING Com...

OSDK .tap takes a bit too long to load ..

.. for the code it contains. As part of a workshop here at the museum, I wanted to show the OSDK and C environment, which works great. The only thing I'm wondering is why this code takes so long to load .. is there a way to make the .TAP file contain *only* the regions necessary, or is the OSDK simp...

Re: No Problem by IRIS

This is great, looking forward to digging into the code and learning a few tricks. Makes me wonder: whats the protocol for doing a new demo? If I did one for the Oric how do I go about figuring out who to shout out to? I mean, I have my personal list of Oric Gods, but is there some sort of protocol ...
