If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Re: Stuff and Things.
@rubber_jonnie me either but the cost difference between the two kit versions wasn't a lot.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Re: Stuff and Things.
That's fair enough, I got a ready built one, I have too much other stuff to build/fix at the moment!!

Re: Stuff and Things.
Well, whilst working on the new ST arrival, I wanted to verify the diag harness on another machine, and lo and behold, the harness wasn't getting any power from the joystick ports.
A quick check on the ports with my microscope saw a fair amount of this sort of thing:
Quick cleanup:
And resolder:
And all is good again. Luckily just cracked solder and no lifted pads/traces.
Atari really did under engineer those ports, they're just terrible.

Re: Stuff and Things.
Just arrived in the post with my Apple Mockingboard is the Oric Erebus SD card system:
I'll post more on this once I have a suitable video cable for the Oric
EDIT:
Here we go, UHF terrible picture mode, but working:
Picture quality over RF is really not great, and no colour either, but the system is super easy to use. Type CLOAD"" and the on-screen menu appears. Use the cursor keys to navigate and hit return to start your program, simples. Also has a handy reset button.
Now, where can I find the complete archive of Oric software
