Hi, in case some of you are interested in software archeology, I wrote a new post on my blog relative to my early software history, which of course starts by the Oric stuff. http://blog.defence-force.org/2014/03/02/my-software-history-part-1/ (And yes I know it's way too long and probably full of ty...

Hello, I've tried bas2tap and it seems that there's a problem with it. I've a simple text software and made a tape with the tool of the pack osdk Oricutron 1.1 is blocked during loading the basic program. If i'm taking the tap with oric explorer, generating a new tap with the basic software inside,...

If everybody can confirm that the code works, I will update the osdk with the next version then.

Could you show a picture of your PSU?
My Atmos has a 9v/1.2 amps one, my big Samsung laptop only has a 9v/4 amp PSU.

So, I published a version 1.1 with Oricutron 1.1 instead of 0.9. I also updated the website: - The PictConv page adds the -f6 flag, with four new pictures showing the result of using the img2oric algorithm - The download page has sublinks for the various tools that point to the correct page on the s...

No particular reason: All I did is to package what was in the existing SVN depot, because I knew it worked as-is.
Trying to upgrade parts would just have meant having more risks to have non working things.

Perhaps Oricutron 1.1 will make it to OSDK 1.1

Good, you actually tried
It's fixed now, will teach me replacing a _ by a . and not checking again.

The new version of the OSDK is finally available:

Please signal any issue you can find, either in the archive or in the website

Hi. I've been working a bit on the new release of the OSDK, which will jump directly from, 0.20 to 1.0 just because it's probably mature enough to be a 1.0. One of the decisions I took was to also get the documentation on the website so it can be indexed by search engines. I started working on the n...

You may have the different type of driver. In 6610.h check these two defines: #define PCF8833 //#define S1D15G10 Try to comment them the other way. There are two type of visual display on the Cumulus hardware, and they require different code. Ideally one should be able to build both in the same firm...

Would be nice if you could give the exact brand/type/capacity of cards you used.
I'm updating the first post of the pre-order thread with the list of known stuff.

n00b :p

In $26A is a byte with some control bits: - Bit 0 -> Cursor status (does the cursor blink) - Bit 1 -> Video status (does printing to the screen works) - Bit 3 -> Keyboard sound status (will it do clickety clicks) - Bit 5 -> Are the two first columns of the screen writable by print So I guess somethi...

Ok, so I will update the list, but I need some confirmations: - fandenivoldsk, jorodr, iss : Have you received yours, and if yes how many? - peacer, Antiriad2097 : being sent, please confirm when you receive it - Andy : Waiting for your test report, good luck :) - StarshipUK : There's been one sing...

Could you try one thing: Enable the videotext mode. On my previous tv it would not sync either, but when enabling the videotext it would display the oric picture inside. Don't ask why, I don't know
Also test the power on the scart, some tvs want 12v, one want 9, some want less or more...
