No worries, it will be on eBay sonner than later, it's not collection, but speculation here, especially when it goes that high.

I'm really not going to sell it, because it is such a cool machine, but I have to say when the prices go high like that, things get a little difficult .. ;)

No, I didn't made any bids.
This 1.045 is really too much for me.

Yeah, indeed very good guess!
But besides the obvious large number LEDs the 8 chips have pretty unique footprint - PDIP-18,
which most likely means they are LM3914
and explains the 2x jumpers on the PCB used to select 'dot' or 'bar' mode :).
What still puzzles me is Why only 16 LEDs are used instead of 20 (as in LM3914 datasheet)?
Anyway... The same seller has more interesting items: Lot Oric - Microdisc - cartes électroniques - lecteur disquette.

ORIC TELESTRAT + Disc drive on eBay again. Who will guess the winning number this time? :).
But more interesting are the 3-inch floppy disks - take a closer look at their labels (in description at bottom of page)....
If only it were true ... CP/M for Oric :mrgreen:

Oooh.. I'd kill for CP/M for Oric! :). Would be really cool ...

Makes me want to get my Telestrat working. I have to get on that. ..

Hahaha... :lol:

Prices are mad, as usual... the Telestrat does not even work! And the Microdisc is probably a slave unit. And those CP/M disks... :lol:
Probably they are from an Amstrad computer and were re-used for this Oric or something... Or someone was thinking about building an external device with a Z80 just to run CP/M on the Oric, as other micros had. :D
