second survey done
When I originally look for the price, it was for the eur plug version, but a UK or US one will not change the price. Anyway when "ordering" will be ready, if you want a power plug, the choice of plugtype will be open of courseUk psu or Europe psu- and is it needed?
I project before the end of 2015, I can't be more precise right now.Any idea when the new culmulus could be available?
I know that 70€ is lots of money for some of us, I try to keep the price as low as possible, for now the target price of 70€ is the price that metadata asked to us for the cumulus he build. I really hope to get a lower priceI find the target price (70€) too expensive -- what is costing so much?
No it won't. The Cumulus come with it's own version of the Amplibus which is the CumuluBus. There is no need to add an AmpliBus.does the Cumulus need an Amplibus as well?
Some Oric won't boot with a cumulus attached. The main problem is a purely electrical problem, that is simple to explain, but complex to solve. The mix of old technology (the oric) and new technology (the cumulus) and the fact that the Oric expansion port was poorly designed (from a modern point of view) even if the chips used in the cumulus are compatible with the one used in the Oric, there are some electrical artefact that's happen on the cable used to connect the Cumulus with the Oric that add delay or generate incorrect signals and the Oric/ULA is confused by this.What is exactly the compatibility problem, and what models f Oric are affected?
The main reason for change in the design is to solve the problem with some Orices.I'm surprised you have to change the design of the Cumulus, especialy about the screen. Are you realy sure it's imposible to find the original one ?
Thanks!I have waited a long time for this ORIC interface and I can't wait to get one ,I presume you would need my address to sent it to me ,plus I will need your address to send the money too ,do you have a preference what form the money tranfer takes ?
It's still possible to contact them through the private messages system, but as far as I know there's no easy way to contact all these persons at the same time.Hialmar wrote:The problem with the old list is that several people on the list disappeared a long time ago and we have no idea if they are still interested.
This is why we need another solution.
Yeah, but that is only a floppy emulator. It emulates a drive from disk images stored on a SD card. You still need a controller (such as a Microdisc). The smart thing on Cumulus is that it integrates both on a single device!Steve M wrote:Here's another option
