Congrats! (Glop-Glop! )

IMHO, there is one more small thing for fix: the links on the top right have full URL i.e. they explicitly point to "defence-force. org " and if you follow (for instance) Chema's link which stars with www.defence-force. com then the result is "cross-domain" request and most brows...

Your code is just fine! Don't worry about such things .
I saw some changes in files related to Mac's XCode project files - actually nothing special, so do you mind to preserve originals when we do merge?

Great! Thanks, I'll check it asap.

which way is the expansion connector wired? ie. where would the power jack be related to the board? I guess it's not that important since it's for prototyping. Some pics: 20201109_023144.jpg 20201109_023215.jpg The form factor is 96mm x 96mm and the only reason for this is the price - the most of P...

Great result, congrats! Actually some time ago I gave a try of emscripten to compile Oricutron and with small hacks it worked (well, kind of). Since then I have the idea to make an Oric IDE for browser with integrated C compiler and Oricutron, but you know the free-time problem... Anyway, well done ...

... could you power an Oric from a mobile phone charger? Yes, and it works fine. But why to change the connector? This is what I've done for OricExos https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iss000/OricExos/master/hardware/Master/1.Power_mod.jpg You need to short this two holes with piece of thick wire: p...

@all Oricians: Enjoy!

Indeed, no black magic here - exactly as you guess Ym2Mym + Bin2Txt.

Cool! Your hardware analysis coincides fully with my knowledge about the programmable joystick. Attached are pics of my interface. It would be nice to have the schematics reverse-engineered - I didn't made it so far because I plan to integrate it (... one day in the future ...) into something bigger...

... will I then also loose those commands? I've checked with !MOVE#BB81,#BB81+40,#BB80 command after !QUIT and it works fine (i.e. it moves the 'CAPS' label one position to left). So all extended command should work too. ... the cure is worse than the disease..... Actually I suggested this approach...

One easy thing to try:
In your BASIC source precede all DOS commands with '!' (i.e. !OPEN S,AN$,1 : !PUT 1,BS etc.).
After boot exit Sedoric DOS with command "QUIT" (or !QUIT) and start your program. Hope this will help!

IMO, the freeze of Oricutron is related to the issue which we already discussed here i.e. how to proceed when DSK image needs to be extended. The root of the problem is in tap2dsk - it allocates so much space to fit the selected taps - historically this makes sense to have smaller files... Possible ...

Thank you for reporting @thekorex!

First post is updated again with the correct sketch!

Absolutely correct, @Symoon!
Here are @Jeff's last changes which make Oric DSK writer working.
