Re: Microdrive in ebay
Interesting. Is this a new development?
Will there be more drives like this?

So we will get Cumana support for Oricutron?
Re: Microdrive in ebay
It's already there, since Cumana is 100% Microdisc compatiblepolluks wrote:So we will get Cumana support for Oricutron?

Congratulations! Let us know how it works when you receive it, please (with some photos maybe? )
I indeed recall reading that Cumana is just a cleaner redesign of Microdisc... Is that correct? Just a cleaner and simpler board designed to be completely compatible with Microdisc?
Did Cumana drives also have problems with the bus signals? I think they should, as the problem is related to the Oric itself, but I don't really know

I thing that Microdisc is Cumana redesign, because Microdisc is simpler than Cumana. One look on the schematics is enough. Cumana buffers all the address bus, but the Microdisc only the low addresses.

Well I will take pics when it arrives for sure. I am happy to know there are still Oric stalwarts out there with such things among us!
Though, I must say, my collection is getting a bit .. large.
