Re: Geoff Phillips interview
Its fun to hear of these lost projects. Even more entertaining when they get resuscitated and someone digs out that one long lost tape that still had working code on it, hint hint ..

Re: Disk Images with Tape Files
Is there any restriction to sharing these things freely among us these days - I understand in the case of the CEO, but anything else? I've held off on CEO membership because I don't speak French (and I heard this was the last year of CEO?) so I'm kind of curious as to what will happen with the archi...

Re: New version of Oricutron for Pandora in progress ..
Okay .. I updated the port of Oricutron for Pandora, and have posted a thread here: http://boards.openpandora.org/topic/17746-beta-oricutron-for-pandora-109/ .. for anyone who might be interested to follow along. I've already noticed a few bugs, unfortunately .. sound seems to be broken in some way,...

Thanks Godzil - The Passthrough connector would just be straight wired through, right?

Re: Oric-1 Synthesis ..
I'm quite familiar with MIDI but not sure how to go about interfacing it directly to the Oric .. which I know has RS232, and can be programmed to handle MIDI's baudrate (31250) .. I guess I'll have a look at some of the existing serial schematics that are out there for the Oric and see what I can do...

Re: Oric-1 Synthesis ..
I've since found out they made the AY demos with this wonderful device:

Re: New version of Oricutron for Pandora in progress ..
It was discovered by a Pandora fan and then ported to it .. and then I piped up and said "hey you can just run the original in the Oricutron emulator for Pandora", and thats how we're in the situation of prepping a new release of PandOricutron fro the Pandora...

New version of Oricutron for Pandora in progress ..
.. seems the Pandora crowd have re-discovered my previous port of Oricutron for Pandora, and we're now preparing a new release, being discussed here: http://boards.openpandora.org/topic/17509-laigle-dor/ Info about the Pandora here: http://boards.openpandora.org/page/homepage.html .. so the Pandora ...

Yeah its the serial hardware that I'm unsure of .. would be especially nice if there were some way to do it with the Cumulus onboard ..

Re: Cumulus Issues
Hey - great to hear from you and have your insight into the situation! I'd love to hear more about your experience with the Microtan 65. I'd only ever read about it in some scant magazines, and mostly it was just the ad. I have an excellent-condition Atmos for you if you make me a fair price. I pick...

Keeping the 'old' machines alive ..
When I next get asked why I even bother with these 'ancient' computers any more, I will just print this out and insist that the interrogator read the thing: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-31450389 The thing is, I truly believe that keeping an Oric-1/Atmos archive living, as a persistent...

Re: Oric-1 Synthesis ..
Yes, that's what I meant by portamento .. so he's doing this by controlling the chip externally and not by a portamento/slide parameter in the AY .. bummer. Well, its still interesting to me to create an Oric-based synth .. the question then becomes, how to add MIDI to a stock Oric ..

Oric-1 Synthesis ..
I just saw the demo here: http://puremagnetik.com/post/110184916790/ableton-live-pack-kontakt-instrument-intellivision .. and was wondering if anyone knew how they got the Portamento-like sound out of the AY chip .. its the second sound in the demo (which can't be seeked, unfortunately) .. I don't r...
