Cumana Reborn DSK support

This is the best place to discuss about the various Oric operating systems like Sedoric, Randos, FT-Dos, and others, as well as serious software, utilities, word processors, disassemblers, etc... that runs on oric computers.

I tried too with 3 different power supplies with the same bad result.

With 2A there should be no problem, imho. Dbug, does the Oric which does not like the Cumana work with Cumulus? I still think the bus signal problems (mainly MAP, which is precisely what is usually adjusted with a potentiometer) are to blame.

iss wrote he found a solution by pure chance, but I am not sure if that is something applicable to every oric or just his new interface...

This Oric works perfectly with my Cumulus as well as Microdisc + Gotek combo :)
And also with the RS232 and SPO256 Speech Synthesizer.

This is exactly the one I am using that works with my Cumana Reborn here. So we can rule that out as a cause indeed it seems.

Hmm, I'm a bit baffled then. The real Cumana will work with most things - even Orics that struggle to boot on their own. I think they use more powerful power supplies but they power the Oric as well.
Over to Piotr.

Imo, if that was a power problem, that would have impacted all the floppies.
One thing I did not try is to use another USB stick.

I've tryed it with 2 more USB sticks, formatted the same way as the original that came with the unit
