Well, we only met (in Perth) about 4 or 5 times, but I think there was another user group in Melbourne, they may have made a bit more noise on the scene than we did. I got my Oric, incidentally, because my Dad was an acquaintance of the fellow who handled the import to Australia, whose name I've for...

I started my computing interest at the same time I started my music-making interest. The Oric was my first computer; in those days I also had my own little multi-track tape rig set up for audio-hacking, too. Copying tapes was too easy. Well .. it was pretty hard to get Oric software. You really had ...

I've since discovered ASMOS, in case anyone is interested - its pretty much a very usable asm/disasm on Oric..

All the basics are there, asm, disasm, block copy, block entry, ascii dump, etc. Quite usable ..

Wow hebdogiciel is awesome! I'd love to have the complete archive in printed form.. What a great resource! Now I really have to learn French.

I'm interested in helping, but not at all interested in re-do'ing the GUI .. my principle focus will be on figuring out how to control the Cumulus from the Oric, which requires a bit of homework on my part .. the idea would be to add commands like: !LSDSK - returns a list of .dsk files found on disk...

In case anyone wants to help get the Oric to the top, I could use a few upvotes here:

Gotta teach those C64/Atari dorks a lesson or two ..

I don't know if you guys care about this or not, but its 6502-week on reddits /r/retrobattlestations: http://www.reddit.com/r/retrobattlestations/ .. in case anyone feels up to the task of pimping our favourite machines in another forum, thought I'd inform you .. I'm setting things up to demo Dbugs'...

One word: AWESOME! Can't wait for an update ..

I have two CumuluBus, they both work fine on two Atmos'. Haven't tried with Oric-1, its too delicate an operation, as the Oric-1 I have needs repairs first.

I really think it should be more of a priority to try to get Cumulus controllable from the Oric - this then renders the UI not as important, and we can move on to fixing the UI issues after this. I imagine having some sort of command like "!CUMULUS VOLS" to get a list of .DSK files availab...

I have it unpacked and set up but I haven't been able to upload a locally-built binary .. last I looked, I still had to find a way to do that. I'm quite happy to work with you on features, though .. the most important thing from my perspective is to figure out some way to be able to control Cumulus ...

If the source code is available .. or not?

Cheers and seasons greetings to you all from my family here in Vienna, Austria, as well .. we are active Oric users in our household, and by "we" I mean me and the 7 and 4 year old - and you guys here in the Oric community are a real treat for us, as we explore these old machines and their...

Always great to read tales of the old days from someone who was there in the thick of it all .. would be great if he joined us here on the forum and revealed that he still has all his old Oric stuff tucked away somewhere, eh?

Looks smooth so far!
