So, at this point, who's still stuck with a non working and not solved Cumulus<->Oric situation. I know Peacer was still having issues, could any of you who is still stuck post a new message summarizing the issue, and indicating: - Type of Oric (Oric 1, Oric Atmos, Oric 1 converted to Atmos, Atmos w...

You could also try with a much shorter cable between the Oric and the board.

I know that on my old Cumana, just having the TV too close from the cable would make it impossible to load anything

I may be a bit retard, but why do not all these tools just add some zeroes at the end of the file they generate?

I'm interested in bying a cumulus too.
What is the procedure / price ?

Everything is indicated on the first message of the first page of this thread

The 55 is just what the memory is initialized with, the famous UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU when the data are corrupted. I wish the ROM designed had chose START + LENGHT instead of this retarded END + START, would have made things so much easier. Quiz: What are the values of START and END for a zero byte l...

I use Visualstudio as well and my modifications compiled with it. Maybe it's a problem with different versions of it. I think I have the 2013 version. Sorry for the problem. I'm still on VS2012, and indeed VS2013 has added some C99 conformity fixes. I can't unfortunately switched to 2013 because I'...

FYI I am currently working on new versions of - Wavclean - Wav2tap - Wav2taps (slow version) - Tap2wav Fabrice knows - but I think he doesn't have time to really follow this. As I don't have any knowledge in standardization of C programming, when it's done (in a few weeks / months?), I'll check wit...

Hello, hello. People, we need to be careful with the changes we are doing. Right now, Jylam is doing changes to port the OSDK to Linux, and Hialmar has made some changes to Tap2Dsk, and in both cases the code stopped compiling in VisualStudio so I had to spend some time fixing it. So we need some ru...

You wrote CC65, so I guess you are not testing the gcc 6502? Do you think you could get CC65 to output an assembler source code and attach it as well to your post? This 9 KB vs 14 KB size different is indeed interesting, looks like CC65 has improved since when we were checking with Jede (more than 1...

For now I don't have any impressions of this new compiler, but I'm really curious to run some checks. Would be interesting to write a small test: - Use the internal timer to get some accurate values, and then use it to time some routines, both with the old compiler and the new one - Measure the siz...

That was the value they (Fabrice, Vangelis, Alexios) chose in the original C SDK

Hmm, I guess a worthy addition to XA could be to have an automatic support for 'system safe' zero page allocation.
Could be an optional mode where instead of saying "start at $50" it would automatically allocate in a list of known "safe" areas?

In fact, after several trial and error I have located my problem. I use the line8.s line drawing routine (found on miniserve) and it is something there that breaks the switch to basic program. If I replace the DrawLine8 call by a curset and a draw it works. It's sad because the DrawLine8 calls were...

I have some problems when switching from my C program to a Basic program. I think my C program is messing with the place where the Basic stores variables and arrays. I'd like to restore those pointers before switching to the Basic program. Something you could try first, is to see that the BASIC pro...

The Cumulus can browse and read directories and files from the SD card OK. If I put a DSK file into A: and then use the menu to reset the oric I just get a message flashing at the top of the screen saying: "No operating system on disc". Have tried several DSK files but all the same. This ...
