Re: Connecting to a tape recorder in 2019

I realise that cassette tapes degrade over time, apparently. I'm hoping the same wouldn't apply to 'still in original wrapping' cassettes I picked up for free recently. I hope the chemically wotnot doesn't do any damage if the 'box ain't been opened' to the elements yet.

Re: CEO-Mag Christmas gift: John Sinclair interview available

MANY thanks for that! I was extremely delighted to spot it's not in French!

Here's another link, direct to the PDF to read/download.

Yep, Google-drive links stink in this respect ... something like a MINIMIUM of 10mb/s to be even usable
It's all good now, I've managed to work out how to download each of those issues no problem in seconds. I'm on fibre optic, tested just now at 12.2.

Connecting to a tape recorder in 2019

So I've got my Oric and everything but a tape/disk drive. I will get a disk drive in the future but for now, I want to do everything as 'old school' and authentic as I can. So I want to use tape. Am I correct in remembering it's a 3 pin DIN back in the day? Not sure if 'modern' tape recorders still ...

Re: OUM magazine scans...

Here's OUM 116 :) Thanks for that. I've not been able to get the other issues to load so your direct links are perfect. Good to see that Dave was still including plenty of digs at me, this time accusing me of running from the CSA 'just cos I was moving house every other month! Noticed he also menti...

Re: OUM magazine scans...

Stupid question but I can't recall if we have Dave Dick's blessing for having all this up online? (don't misunderstand: I'm quite happy to read all this!) I saw Dave not long a few years back when he visited the Canaries and didn't seem to have any issues with Oric-lovers spreading the word in any ...

Re: New Member and New Oric Atmos Owner

On the plus side, that is the coolest looking broken Atmos screen I've ever seen. Unique for me. So thanks. It actually looks like a game prototype or something. Perhaps you should leave the Atmos busted to retain such a beautiful, broken crash screen. Alternatively, someone here will advise on how ...

Crap. Supplier doesn't send to my destination (Tenerife). Found this here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/LitaElek-5-5mmx2-1mm-Connector-Connect-Flexible/dp/B07HD5MLBB Is it the same item? Or as its male > female, is it actually a better equivalent by allowing a longer cable? TIA. ETA: Might be same supp...

You can get things like this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-12V-Inline-Switch-Controler-Adapter-Cable-Connector-Cable-LED-Strip/283434186436?hash=item41fdfe76c4:m:mjBhmGdkKkc-dKTJayO_pAA The one I have has a connector that is a bit too short so it's not really useful. If you can get one with a long...

What kind of plugs do you have in Spain? I guess it isn't the same as UK? Found this. Someone has stuck an Oric sticker on the side of a power supply. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Transformador-Oric-1-Atmos-fuente-alimentacion-power-supply-cargador-psu/191651968253?hash=item2c9f58f4fd:g:z0cAAOSw47dZw...
