Re: ORIC SDCARD

I found that I could erase a UVPROM with an 18w UVC germicidal tube in less than 1 minute. If anyone needs to.

Re: Need help fixing Oric 1

Kenneth,
If I put the 28C256 inside the oric instead of the ORIC ROM, will the Erebus still work, that is the erebus contains no EPROM.

Re: Need help fixing Oric 1

In this case A14 replaces A15 on pin1, this is not a problem for the selection of bank0 and bank3, but the pine27 is problematic with the process, this pin must be disconnected. For the program, Bank0 is the same but Bank3 become the bank1. The content $C000 to $FFFF in the 27c512 chip is placed at...

Re: Need help fixing Oric 1

Kenneth, can you provide location in ROM to fix it? In the Erebus file the Oric Rom code begins at the same place as the Basic11b Rom file, then you must replace these bytes: Adr $3934: #1E before, #1C after. Adr $39CA: #1A before, #18 after. Kenneth, Can I program it into a AM28C256? Will it work ...

Re: Help with two Orics

In my debug, A1 was flatlining. After removing one of the address mux chip, A1 started toggling.
So after replacing the address mux, my Oric booted up.

Re: Need help fixing Oric 1

Ok. That's clear now. All the tests passed. I had to change 6502. Somehow the NMI pin is always low. With a new 6502 all tests passed. Thanks everyone for the help. Now if I can find a replacement NMI button, my ORIC is good as new. Hope I can do the 60Hz fix for the Erebus ROM. That's for another d...

Re: Need help fixing Oric 1

So the debug ROM runs but it FAILS the CASS O/Rly/Spkr. The test does not progress anymore from there. Is it hung ?

I can hear a pulsing tone with the loopback connector.

Re: Need help fixing Oric 1

Ignorr that last question. It was a hardware failure. The clock mod failed. So no clock to ULA.

Re: Need help fixing Oric 1

Question for mikeb or anyone. I burned the 60Hz debug rom and booted.with it. It says RAM PASSED. I see it asks me to press NMI to proceed. I quess it's the reset button at the bottom. Pressing it does nothing however.

The screen stays rock solid. So that's good

Is the chip socketed?

Re: Need help fixing Oric 1

Thanks for everyone's help. I'll try the 60Hz ROMS and report back. I hope I can hack the Erebus ROM too when I get it. As for the adapter, I will try the hack to put an ESP8266 to enable the extra settings menu. ( https://tomdalby.com/other/gbs8200.html ) On a slight off tangent, where can I get a ...

Re: Need help fixing Oric 1

iss, you are a genius. That worked. However, when I got HIRES it goes blank again. I poked the same #BFDF in HIRES and I brought back the screen in HIRES but the text is not visible in the bottom of the screen. Going back to TEXT, needed the poke again. I suspect I can hack the ROM for NTSC. There m...
