Generally the contacts just need cleaning but sometimes a bad solder can be to blame. Check the keyboard diagram (Adcanced User Guide & Service Manual) to see if a row of keys are affected. I have one or two keyboards with a single key not working. I've checked the switch with a continuity teste...

Yes, I think the software house needs to be mentioned somewhere or there's a danger of losing sight of what version is being looked at.

Not sure if it happens with others but my virus scans sometimes flags up Oric files and I think some of my Hebdo has got corrupted.

Cool. If you need a hand let people on here know and I'm sure some will help out. We need to know what to aim at and so on so everyone isn't trying to do the same thing, but I'm sure folk would help out if they knew what to do.

Ah - there are some programs from Dynamic Games for your Oric on there. That's where Eatie Sweetie is from. Also Life, Sequence, Four by Four, Flippa. (not sure if there's more.) These don't seems to be on the Dynamic disk. They may have originally been on 3" disk which doesn't have the same ca...

I might have stuck something else on the disk or there may have been some other book added - I really don't remember at this stage. It was probably 15 years since I last looked at these disks (

They are very expensive.

These are the correction sheets for Meteoric Programming.

I have some of the programs typed in on the Oric but at the moment I can't convert the real Oric disks to PC. I can't convert tapes to disk and so I keep getting frustrated trying to do anything on the Oric.

Anyway, hope this helps.

I hope I haven't sent this stuff already - I am still downloading the latest Gamebase. (I didn't know what it was either. )

I think the first one here was done by Jim Groom and the second one is by WJH.

More book disks I think these were typed in by WJ Hurley, who used to do a lot of the type-ins for OUM. He used to 'translate' some of the French programs by just doing his own English version of the instructions. (So not a real translation.) There's a good chance these book listings have been alter...

Just discovered this thread thanks to Didier post on Facebook. I know that burnt out feeling only too well. Oric users always seem to feel like they are the only one out there. Even when we had a user group in the UK which help bring people together it seemed like a lot of individuals doing their ow...

New Releases page doesn't seem to be working (?) I don't remember what was on there, if anything.

Try this.

This was a long time ago. I was trying to convert a real Oric disk to PC and then copy the files to create a tape image (because the program wouldn't work on disk). I think I would have upgrade my Win 98 PC to WinXP in those days. Managed to get Euphoric working but could work the floppies. It didn'...

I think the problem is not having working hardware. Telestrat MIDI ports don't work. No-one came up with MIDI ports for Atmos.

Sonix software is MIDI compatible.

Interesting stuff.
I can see I'm going to have to buy an Amplibus. Is anyone building these or supplying kits ?
