Re: Server upgrade

i've been using an rPi for just this purpose for a few years now and it does work just like any other web server. Heck, I ran a whole ISP on a system with less oomph than the rPi back in the day .. its just a matter of how much you want to pay attention to it to make sure it stays running. :)

Re: Microdisc controller + Amplibus, do you want another bat

What I wonder at is just how many Oric users there are in this thread! Hey guys, what do you all do with your Orics?

Re: OASIS development

Symoon, I think the excitement, for me .. the anticipation .. of this game comes from the artistry in the story and staging of .. simplistic .. elements, in order to create a titular fiction.

Re: Silly Survey...just for fun.

Wow, some really amazing ideas here .. One "out there" idea I had, was the idea of putting an array of Oric's into an FPGA and wiring them up somehow with networking - but still they are regular old, well-synthesized Oric's, i.e. emulations of our original hardware, warts and all, albeit ....

Re: Homebrew ORIC computer ??

I'm loving all of these ideas .. only thing is I hope MIDI will work in the mix, somehow. Always a bit bummed about that on the Telestrat .. could've given Atari a run for the money ..
