rgb lcd screen

Hi there,

You can easily modify a basic composite playstation mini lcd-screen to plug your RGB oric on it. I've explained how to mod the bigben model here (in french sorry) :

floppy emulator

hi there, Been to a retro-geek meeting this weekend. I had to bring an oric+microdisk controller so that Jeff could work on the oric floppy emulator.

hi

Hi,

I wrote this article for old-computers.com when they launched the new version a few years ago. The webmasters were looking for some content (technical and meeting stuff). I also added a 3.5 inch floppy to my microdisk unit (as master drive keeping the 3inch drive as B-drive).

floppy

Hi there,

I had a look at Andre Cheramy Sedoric a Nu and saw it was some kind of MFM stuff. And while discussing with Torlus on IRC, he said there should be no problem having it interfaced with an oric but the controller is still needed since it only replaces the physical part of the floppy.
