Hello from Bristol
Hello from Bristol
Hello everyone
I'm Kon and I just picked up an Oric Atmos.
I grew up in the 80s as a Sinclair Spectrum kid, but I was always curious about other systems. I've finally got my hands on an Oric after all these years!
I'm enjoying reading the posts in the forum and think that I will learn a lot from you all
Here's my setup:

Re: Hello from Bristol
Welcome! Happy hours with your Oric Atmos and lot of fun.
Re: Hello from Bristol
Welcome! You should get a disk system and start enjoying your Oric at another level!

Hello
Thank you all for your greetings!
I have ordered an Erebus -- hopefully should have it next week!
I am keen to try tapes! I have a cassette recorder, but no software on cassette... yet...
Tonight I tried saving a simple BASIC programme to cassette. I have a 7 pin connector to MIC, EAR, REM cables, but wasn't able to save or re-load.

Are you the guy who did the beautiful Skool Daze port for the Oric?

Indeed @Kon, welcome - and yes, you will find a lot of the greatest Oric developers here on defence-force .. its great to see so many people taking a new interest in Oric again - wouldn't be the same scene if it weren't for the efforts of folks like Chema and Dbug and co., though ..

Re: Hello from Bristol
Hey Kon. You may be interested to know that a lot of the original work on Oricutron was done on a train from Weston-super-Mare to Bath, so basically in your neck of the woods
Re: Hello from Bristol
It'd be interesting to know what proportion of Oricutron's functionality can be attributed to train delays...
I think it was two or three years ago now, but I took my non-British wife to Bristol during a tour of my homeland. We just did the obvious things — the suspension bridge, lunch at the harbour, etc — but I think she liked it. It was where a surprisingly high proportion of my sixth form friends ended up, between Bristol University and the University of WOE, so luckily I already knew where all the good pubs are, albeit that everybody looked younger than I remembered.
