Amplibus alternative - Microdisc Interface - Cumulus help?

Found details of this project in my paperwork. I think it is from Théoric - apologies to DBug - but this has English translation, nto found in ThéOric downloads.

Has anyone built it? Does it work well with Cumulus ???

Re: Cumulus Issues

Reading through some documents I found a letter where someone talks about an expansion similar to Amplibus that allows for three levels of amplification and has some other useful things like a reset button. I have found details for the expansion and will post it in the hardware section. I think it i...

Re: The big Oric ULA Database

I've added my results - I seem to have 2 8316 but not sure if I had two chips or write it down twice. But I did have a faulty 8316 which still loaded Cumulus disk. So there's still 2. This conflicts with a previous ULA with same number that didn't work. The results seem to be a bit random. Perhaps t...

Ah, I thought something seemed to be missing. Oh well - back to the Cumulus it is then.

Re: Bytedrive 500 on Ebay uk

Looks like a homemade case, maybe. Original Byte Drive came with two boxes.

Picture attached should show what it should look like. Byte Drive is in the middle next to a Jasmin drive.
(Sorry it's low quality. )

Re: The big Oric ULA Database

Yes, I think something else is at fault. It may be more than one thing.

I fixed my monitor plug but the monitor has gone now. Don't know if I'll be able to get an old RGB monitor fixed in this day and age :(
I guess I'll have to get a TV out to do any more testing.

Re: The big Oric ULA Database

Maybe it is a 6502 database we need? What make are your 6502 ISS ? So far all the ULAs I've tested work. I had a faulty Oric-1 which turns out to have a fault ULA that throws garbage on the screen, but it still managed to work with the Cumulus and load a disk. I marked all the Atmoses that didn't wo...

Re: Major Defence-force structural update

Not sure how to get to the old pages like the Oric library (?) had to use Google to find the books. [EDIT: Found the Old Site link - silly me!] Incentally, just got information from André about a couple of books I got and they are available online so maybe see if you could include the files (scanned...

Re: Swap working Oric Atmos for .. ?

I can supply an Atmos that doesn't work with the Cumulus.
