Okay after a few hours of hacking with it, I'm finding it to be a perfectly cromulant means of doing some assembly on the Oric, and also importantly, disassembly (with the ROM 1.1 Disassembly PDF at hand on a second monitor too, of course..) I can't stress how awesome it is to have docs and this too...

Just reporting in .. sorry for the spam .. well the version from TOCSEC doesn't seem to work - I follow the instructions in the manual and all I get is "SYNTAX ERROR" .. However, Symoons' version DOES work and behaves as described in the user manual - so I will proceed with this version fo...

I got it to work! All I had to do was WAIT! Its a 36k program, so it just actually takes a while .. which I did .. and now its running, after a "BREAK ON #501" message, I used "CALL #9000" to run it, and its up. So the question is, how to I re-make a .TAP file of this, maybe in f...

Just a followup, I tried the version of TANSOFT OricMon that is available in the TOCSEC archive from archive.org, and it doesn't seem to load... unless it takes a *long* time, which I don't think is the case .. seems to just be a bug. Anyone got the chops to inspect this .TAP file and see if there i...

Will do! EDIT: Okay so as far I can tell we still don't have a working copy of this version (ORIC MON from Tansoft): https://www.oric.org/index.php?page=software&fille=detail&num_log=145 .. but do have working versions of this one (ORIC-MON from ISS): https://www.oric.org/index.php?page=soft...

Always oricutron, and yes now I've confirmed that your version and the oric.org version both work, but the one I had on disk doesn't. Maybe I just goofed it.

Anyway, thanks for checking it Symoon ..

I'm experimenting with different monitors .. I mean sure, Oricutrons' is great - but its just interesting to note the different tooling for ORIC contextually ..

Did anyone ever find a working copy of ORICMON?

>motivated Well, I'm now a curator at the local Retro Computing museum here in Vienna, Austria, so these sorts of things are of immense interest to us - it provides much needed context for our visitors, and we are at risk - particularly in the Oric world - of these things falling into the hands of p...

Thanks for the headsup Sy .. I've purchased them. Will make sure they get preserved.

And also to provide a motivation for me to get my Teletrat fixed..

For those of us following in the background: Thanks for the effort, jonh! I look forward to checking this out.

Edit: sometimes I really wish we had a like button the forum:

Short update, we had 8000 visitors to the museum in August! Once we got everything set up, I visited every week on Thursdays and Friday (Sat/Sun, alternating), and personally witnessed the 8-bit section in constant use! Folks seem to have really enjoyed having access to the real machines. The Oric h...

I could most certainly attempt it, and would be glad to make an event out of it (for the retro museum here in Vienna, at which I am now officially a Curator) for posterity, as such an event itself is very relevant to our visitors. The museum can cover postal costs, and we could also return the casse...

I've updated the exhibit with captions, which some of you might be interested in reading - so I've made them available in a public repository for the exhibit, where we will inevitably also be storing materials related to the workshops as time goes by... https://github.com/seclorum/retroGamingMuseumV...

Something very interesting is happening .. every day of the visit since I got it set up last week, I have met an ORIC USER! "Whoa, 8-bit section .. cool .. oh my <fnord> .. is that AN ORIC?! I HAD ONE OF THOSE!" I've heard this reaction in various forms every day since last week when we go...
