Hi As part of the large batch of Oric stuff i acquired about a year ago, i came across this...
Is this really a German keyboard layout?
Unfortunately it is just a keyboard, no main board
But possibly unique.
New Oric?
Interesting, well perhaps it is. There is also a slight chance that one of the many Chips i gave to Steve Marshall is the ROM for this machine.
I am surprised they never did azerty layoutfor French, but apparently all prototyping was only ever done in UK. I got this info from Andre Cheramy and others whilst at the CEO meet a couple of weekends ago.

May be they designed some french keyboard layout, but for some low cost mass production considerations they stuck with the original "international" and generic layout.
What I never understood is why they never gave to the Oric Telestrat some better graphics in order to compete with other actors such like commodore, thomson, and later on Atari or Amiga. I am pretty sure that this what lead to the fall of Oric. Dommage...
