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!

Sounds great on my Atmos! I was hoping for a bit more BASS in the demo track, though .. ;P

This is one of the reasons why I try to collect the LCD TV's with SCART whenever I see them at the local dump .. alas, people do throw away perfectly useful LCD TV's these days as they upgrade to HDMI, so it seems there is always a new screen for us out there .. perhaps its similar to your circumsta...

Welcome to the Oric scene - nice to hear you're willing to do what it takes to resuscitate this lovely machine ..
