Re: opelco and 3 1/2 inch drive

What about the power, have you checked you get the proper +5/+12 at the right locations? I vaguely remember that some 3" and 3.5" drives had the voltage pins inverted.

Re: opelco and 3 1/2 inch drive

Do you use the same connector cable for the 3" and 3.5" drives? If I remember correctly they have different connectors. If the drive spins without stopping, it's probably not a floppy/read problem, it's most probably a signal problem, so either the cable is not the good one (or got damaged...

Re: opelco and 3 1/2 inch drive

What exactly do you mean by "does not want to work"? Is it like it does not react at all, or just spins forever, etc...? Where does that drive come from, is that an old one, relatively thick, with jumpers, etc... or a modern slim one? There are models which are hardcoded to be on specific ...

Re: Space:1999 feedback and review thread

Do you have the complete game, or just the .DSK file?

Normally you should have the following:
  • space1999-en.dsk (or -fr)
  • space1999-manual.pdf
  • space1999-readme.txt
  • AlphaLevelG.png
  • AlphaLevelH.png
  • AlphaTower.png

Re: Oric Atmos in Vienna: RETROGAMING Museum

Having the Oric Atmos demonstration tape running could be somewhat cool, it's not brain blasting, but it shows a good mix of features of the machine.

Re: Oricutron and disk images
