Re: Atmoses, Microdiscs and Telestrats on ebay

I bought my Telestrat for 450Eu, that price seems about right to me .. although mine came with more ROM cartridges and a disk drive, though ..

Networking Orics.

Recently there's been a bit of progress on other-platforms, with regards to getting the machine communicating with the modern Internet. Case in point, symbos on MSX: http://www.msx.org/nl/node/4993?page=358 (And of course the C64 and other worlds have light-years leaps ahead of us in this regard..) ...

Re: Oric Cinema - watch now full length movie ;)

Thanks for the info - I'll update my copy of cc65 this evening and have another go at it. I'm mostly curious as to what advantages we get from getting the Contiki port completed for Atmos .. seems like it provides a full-fledged set of functionality already, although of course I don't know the state...

Re: Oric Cinema - watch now full length movie ;)

Hmm .. your changes aren't that much different (at all) to mine .. but my binary just fails to boot. I'm using cc65 2.3.13 .. perhaps thats the problem? (Building on OSX) .. is there some sort of post "make atmos" step that needs to be done, perhaps converting the binary to .tap file? I co...

Re: Atmoses, Microdiscs and Telestrats on ebay

I think that one thing that has to be remembered during these auctions and things is that the value of these machines is increasing because of all of you guys/this community in general. The cooler we make the machines, the more people will want the originals. That's sort of a unique position.

Re: Oric Cinema - watch now full length movie ;)

I just compiled the sources too, but haven't succeeded in running them on Oricutron, alas. Did you get through a few mis-defined' fn's (strncasecmp) and so on, and get a working binary? I'd like to get that far too ..

Re: Oric Cinema - watch now full length movie ;)

RS232 and networking for the real Oric!
Apropros this, is it worth the effort to get Contiki caught up with things?

(See http://hitmen.c02.at/files/contiki/atmos/)

IMHO, getting Contiki support on Atmos with a COMMS project sounds like a really, really good idea.

Re: re oric circuit from theoric #12

I think the point is to start a discussion on these articles? My impression is that those of us who understand these things have probably already seen these schematics, but on the other hand it can't hurt to have the URL's in a thread if there will be discussion ..
