Re: Oric Explorer v2.0 is up for adoption!!!
Hi NekoNoNiaow and thanks for your interest! The project compiles and builds OK, and the produced executable works fine. I just need to have a look at the installation script (it uses the Nullsoft installer) to see if I can produce an installation package (.msi or .exe) though this is purely cosmeti...

Re: Oric Explorer v2.0 is up for adoption!!!
Here is a quick list of the welcome changes/additions I noted so far in Oric Explorer (compared to the interim 2.0 released circa 2014/2015): - it is now possible to tell oric Explorer to search tapes/disks in subfolders of the chosen directory (we were really missing this!) - new dark theme (love i...

Oric Explorer v2.0 is up for adoption!!!
Hello guys, I have good news and bad news for you concerning Oric Explorer by Scott Davies... I'll start with the bad news... About a week ago, I sent a email to Scott about the current state of development of Oric Explorer, because it had been more than 2 years since he removed the tool from the do...

Re: Microdisc connectors
Ah, thanks iss for going into it a little deeper. I did question myself about the "size of the pipe", how it was possible to ffed many hundreds of milliamps just over one little wire, and I have to say sometimes it must not be enough as there are cases where my Oric won't boot on first try...

Re: Microdisc connectors
I think normally you can't power Oric with the ribbon cable. This is original Microdisc controller - pin 33 on the ribbon connector is not connected to +5V track. Yes, it looks like it's manually cut, but it is not.m1.jpg and here is again an original Microdisc 'last generation' - pin 33 has nothin...

Re: Microdisc connectors
Hi, I don't own a Microdisc but I know the 3" drives normally require 12V (as in Amstrad CPC's), so I suppose the Microdisc power connector should have at least +5V, +12V and GND terminals. As to powering the Oric, normally this is done directly from the Microdisc through the ribbon cable to th...

Re: OSDK Linux/macOS recent version?
Hi guys, Just saw this discussion and it reminded me of an old project by Godzil I recently discovered on GitHub: https://github.com/Godzil/osXdk Essentially it is a fork of OSDK (from 2009-2010...) that was adapted for Mac OS X, but seems to have been abandoned. However, there might be some stuff i...

Re: Searching for "L'Oric a nu."
Hi, I know this is a very old thread, but as it is one of the top results in a Google search for 'L'Oric à Nu PDF", I thought I'd add the link to the "Advanced Programmng books" list of the "Oric Library' pages on Defence Force, where you can find a link to a scanned PDF version ...

Re: Microdisc controller + Amplibus, do you want another batch?
Thanks Chema, stupid of me, I shoudl have checked the start of this thread. The price point seems to be really friendly, that's really very nice of Silicebit, because I reckon it really barely covers the cost of the components: "The price of controller is 50 euro, and Amplibus 5 euro. Shipping...

Re: How to install a 3" floppy drive on a modern pc?
Many thanks for the feedback iss ! On my part, I haven't had any issues with OricDSK (yet ?), but I've only used it to transfer game disk images to floppies (Space 1999, Detective Story, 1337, to name a few) and that's all. I just realized that SAMDisk was by Simon Owen, the author of the fdrawcmd.s...

Hi CHema, Well, I'm more than glad to help, I didn't kow you were enduring the hassle of Win95 to write Oric disks !! :-) In fact, I was only slightly aware of issues/constraints with writedsk, because I've only had a floppy drive for my Oric for less than a month, and OricDSK was featured in the CE...
