I'm using a bog standard universal DC adapter for my Oric, but I see what you mean about powering many items from the same cord. Some devices have a high tolerance, e.g. a 9VDC machine might work on anything from 5 to 12V but draw more power the lower voltage you use. I don't have a clue what is the...

As for the cassette cable, I have found the one used with Acorn BBC and Electron to be identical (?) with the Oric pinout. I'm not sure if it helps you any. I seem to remember the US computers like TRS-80, IBM PC (!) and PCjr use a 5-pin DIN cable but I'm not sure the important pins are in the same ...

So if I get this correct, the 5-pin (UK) Oric has a video output like this: * RGB + composite sync * Signal values close to 75 ohm, but not steady? * VSYNC 50 Hz (as per Dbug's comments elsehwhere) * HSYNC 7.90 kHz (?? as per Dbug's comments elsewhere) This page says the SCART voltages should be 1Vp...

rgb will only work on french orics because the signal the real oric outputs is high enough to trigger the rgb lines. Do you mean the voltage levels on the RGB output is higher on an UK market Oric than on a French one? SCART devices usually expect analog signals in the range of 0.7 - 1V. On the oth...

Keyboard partial failure
This year I have increased my collection from zero to two Oric-1 computers: one loose and one boxed. I wrote about the loose one before, that it had problems displaying a colour picture on antenna signal. It seems to work better now, only that it strays in frequency so the TV needs to be calibrated ...

Did you ever got anywhere with this hack? I have just become the proud owner of my first (!) Oric-1, a 48K model in visually very nice condition. It was sold as spares/repair on eBay (some of you may have seen it) because it didn't do colour! I have adjusted the two externally available knobs withou...
