Re: Hi from Germany

This isn't a technically valid response, but have you tried with a different amperage power supply? I have 8 Atmos' and an Oric-1 and I have had similar symptoms that you are describing in the past - white screen, cursor or garbage on the screen. This changed for me when I used a 1A power supply as ...

Re: Hi from Germany

Nice to hear from you Thomas and welcome to Defence Force! Oric's are notoriously picky about their power supplies, I have noticed .. best thing is to make sure your replacement matches the specs of the old supply in terms of Amperage .. it should be at least 600mA, 9V, and center is positive. Good ...

Re: Old tapes found 2 (I'm back !)

Where did you find that peacer? Sounds quite interesting - maybe it can get a little AIC fairydust somehow?

This collection is really fascinating - I remember having a huge set of stuff just like this on a few tapes, long gone now, and so its really a blast to have such an archive to go through.

Re: MIDI play for Oric.

All this can be done without any code, just making graphic data and tilemaps :) If someone who has done this would write up a tutorial and get the basics of starting out and coming up with a semi-decent result, written down, then I'm sure I'd be quite happy to spend hours every week creating Oric a...

Re: Disk Images with Tape Files

Guys - I'm sorry for the panic, its just something thought I'd heard on the forums somewhere, that CEO was going to stop this year, but I could be very wrong and I apologize to everyone for the panic. I'll try to find where I heard this 'rumour' and squash it for good ..

Re: Disk Images with Tape Files

Well its quite exciting to hear that there are still yet more things to be discovered .. and I hope that we can preserve as much of these archives as possible. I think there are going to be new Oric users in the future - at least the two new ones (5 and 7) in our house are keen on seeing what else t...

Re: Spot the Oric ..

We (my Austrian family and I) recently watched the Imitation Game about Turing and co., and it was really fun to hear the reaction of my folks who had no idea that such things were going on, had no idea who Turing was and why he was important, and so on .. a great history lesson indeed, and I'm real...

Re: Disk Images with Tape Files

Is there any restriction to sharing these things freely among us these days - I understand in the case of the CEO, but anything else? I've held off on CEO membership because I don't speak French (and I heard this was the last year of CEO?) so I'm kind of curious as to what will happen with the archi...
