I2C for the Oric

This is the right place to discuss on how to implement hardware vsync, adding a VIA or AY chipset, puting multiple roms, or how to design a new flash expansion card.

I mean, smaller HIRES regions could be used for icons, mixed with TEXT through the 50/60hz attributes, also, no?

Yes, anything that can be displayd on an oric can be transfered so theoretically possible.

I'm imagining a scrolling terminal with access to an rPi or something, and whenever "cat SOMEORIC.HRS" is done, it includes the TEXT/HIRES attribute switches to allow the picture to be displayed inline on the scroller .. does this description make sense? This way we could have an Oric-specific BBS.
