Re: writing disk images for a real Oric

A piece of advice about using TAP2WAV: - use the switches -11 (11kHz signal) and -a (adds a silence at the end) - switch off any wifi thing on the PC that reads the WAV file - keep your mobile phone away This should solve about 90% of the loading problems ;) About disks, try the excellent Romu's pag...

Re: Interested people in controller Microdisc or AmpliBus.

Normally, if you haven't other disk controller (original Microdisc or Cumana board), i send two disks as starting kit, one with Sedoric 3.0 and another one with very good game, but not very well known, Magnetix. Very nice from you. Actually, this is not my first controller so I had disks already - ...

Re: Oric programs statistics

I forgot something in my statistics... The datas are made of 60% (or so) of zeroes, but... The datas are loaded with parity, start and stop bits in the signal. And there are 3 stop bits at "1" for only 1 start bit at "0", which makes 75% of "1"... So in the end, I'm not...

Re: OASIS development

A pause key could solve the ringing phone problem ;)
Or a choice like "what did you just say?" to repeat.

Re: OASIS development

If you are good at drawing, I will also need images for objects and sketches for some rooms. Designing a room is not easy, as there are many details and quirks to consider, but the initial sketch is of great help for me. For objects it is enough to edit them in a bmp/png/whatever file, using pure g...

Re: ZX Vega: the Spectrum's return

Well I agree with Chema as long as one sticks to software. But I like the idea of having original extensions working. If a new machine could get us rid of usual problems ("weak signal on expansion port", "how do I plug a modern screen"...) and allow us using 100% of our Oric addi...

Multicopy V1.2

Hi there, I just added on Oric.org, Multicopy v1.2 here: http://www.oric.org/software/multicopy_v1_2-2341.html I found it on a tape that an Orician sent me a few months ago. It seems a bit bugged, so if anyone's willing to check the difference with Multicopy 1.1, there: http://www.oric.org/software/...
