No problem, no bad sound, everything is perfect!

SO, the problem is more likely due to something strange with newest hardware or operating systems...

Re: Damsel In Distress

Mmmh, don't know what version you had, but both I tried show no corruption. The one I made from the original tape didn't detect any parity error. And most of all, it loads prefectly fine on a real machine. I was just surprised nobody seemed to have noticed this, but I just tried again on a XP comput...

Re: Oric related links of interest

Are the sites about Pravetz all dead? The link above doesn't seem to work, and the one from Fabrice's website, linking to http://www.sofiaprint.com/pravetz8d_bul/Pravetz_8D_en.html , doesn't work anymore. Seems like there's been a quite active scene in easter countries but I'm totally lost about who...

Re: Tape deck dying - solution?

Thanks to you for your replies ! Ok, opened the deck, and there it is: the counter belt borke, wrapped around the gears and totally melted. There is melted plastic everywhere, trying to do my best to clean all this. This is why the sound was totally distorded, the gears were glued here and there. Th...

Re: Euphoric et la sauvegarde sur cassette

Oui, traps à donf, sauf en mode hardware j'imagine. Fabrice a modifié Euphoric l'an dernier (cf. les travaux de Dominique dans le Mag), pour si ma mauvaise mémoire est bonne, ajouter un trap au niveau de la routine de lecture d'un bit. Donc il me semble: soit on appelle la routine de lecture d'un oc...

Re: Tape deck dying - solution?

Done - from the external side. There was a strange black melted plastic on one of the (don't know the name) rolling thing engaging the cassette and pulling the tape (like this, the one on the right: http://pmcdn.priceminister.com/photo/853611860.jpg ). Very strange, don't know where it came from, bu...

Tape deck dying - solution?

Hi, I have the feeling my tape deck is dying. I join 2 samples from the same tape, one made 3 weeks ago, the 2nd made today. Hear the difference - with high consequences on Oric tapes signal. Any tape deck specialist around, that could tell me the typical cause of such a flickering and how it could ...

Re: FORTH PROGRAMMING MANUAL - TANSOFT

I've begun scanning it. No idea when I finish, it sometimes takes me months to finish a scan ;-) There are at least 2 versions of this manual, the content is the same but one seems much more "home-made" than the other. I also noticed there are sometimes duplicated pages in the ring-bound v...

Re: STAR in Oricutron

I tested with Oricutron 0.9 and my own tape transfer, and it seems to work fine :D This probably simply illustrates how many bad TAP files are around on the Internet! The simple fact that the loading name is "STAR .TAP " on the crashing version proves that the transfer is suspicious, being...

Re: Cobrasoft

Well, IIRC, the site was begun at the time Bertrand Brocard visited us at the meeting for the 20th Oric birthday. That was in 2003 !
(so BTW, in 5 months, Oric is 30)
