Just a followup, I tried the version of TANSOFT OricMon that is available in the TOCSEC archive from archive.org, and it doesn't seem to load... unless it takes a *long* time, which I don't think is the case .. seems to just be a bug. Anyone got the chops to inspect this .TAP file and see if there i...

Will do! EDIT: Okay so as far I can tell we still don't have a working copy of this version (ORIC MON from Tansoft): https://www.oric.org/index.php?page=software&fille=detail&num_log=145 .. but do have working versions of this one (ORIC-MON from ISS): https://www.oric.org/index.php?page=soft...

Always oricutron, and yes now I've confirmed that your version and the oric.org version both work, but the one I had on disk doesn't. Maybe I just goofed it.

Anyway, thanks for checking it Symoon ..

I'm experimenting with different monitors .. I mean sure, Oricutrons' is great - but its just interesting to note the different tooling for ORIC contextually ..

Did anyone ever find a working copy of ORICMON?

>motivated Well, I'm now a curator at the local Retro Computing museum here in Vienna, Austria, so these sorts of things are of immense interest to us - it provides much needed context for our visitors, and we are at risk - particularly in the Oric world - of these things falling into the hands of p...

Thanks for the headsup Sy .. I've purchased them. Will make sure they get preserved.

And also to provide a motivation for me to get my Teletrat fixed..

For those of us following in the background: Thanks for the effort, jonh! I look forward to checking this out.

Edit: sometimes I really wish we had a like button the forum:

Short update, we had 8000 visitors to the museum in August! Once we got everything set up, I visited every week on Thursdays and Friday (Sat/Sun, alternating), and personally witnessed the 8-bit section in constant use! Folks seem to have really enjoyed having access to the real machines. The Oric h...

I could most certainly attempt it, and would be glad to make an event out of it (for the retro museum here in Vienna, at which I am now officially a Curator) for posterity, as such an event itself is very relevant to our visitors. The museum can cover postal costs, and we could also return the casse...

I've updated the exhibit with captions, which some of you might be interested in reading - so I've made them available in a public repository for the exhibit, where we will inevitably also be storing materials related to the workshops as time goes by... https://github.com/seclorum/retroGamingMuseumV...

Something very interesting is happening .. every day of the visit since I got it set up last week, I have met an ORIC USER! "Whoa, 8-bit section .. cool .. oh my <fnord> .. is that AN ORIC?! I HAD ONE OF THOSE!" I've heard this reaction in various forms every day since last week when we go...

Oh, we have a few other games and things in mind that demonstrate the machine nicely .. SPACE 1999 has a great intro, Defence Force, etc.

But I would like to have a workshop on different demos at some point so I will revisit this ..

Hi Folks, I'm happy to report that the Retrogaming Museum[1] here in Vienna now has a working 8-bit workshop, which includes our favourite Oric Atmos (as well as a ZX Spectrum, CPC6128, Atari ST's, C64, etc.) set up and operational and ready for some fun. first_8bit_row.png I'd like to ask all of yo...

Wow! This is exciting!
