Now, where can I find the complete archive of Oric software :)
Most Oric software can be found on Oric.org (you need to be logged in to access the download option).
There's also the Oric Gamebase somewhere.
The important thing to know, is that not everything runs on Erebus: Only single file tape files will load, which means
- DSK files will not work, these require a Microdisc, Cumana/Reborn, or Cumulus device
- Multi part TAP files will not load either
Not much you can do for the DSK thing, for the TAP part, some people converted the multi-part ones in single-load ones, but I'm not sure you can find them in a single archive.
You can get a few more on my forum:
-

-
https://forum.defence-force.org/viewtop ... =20&t=2123
I guess at some point somebody will make an archive with Erebus ready files, or maybe that already exist :)

Awesome, thanks so much for the advice!

Bit of Oric fun today, as my RGB to SCART cable dropped through the letterbox this morning :)
Here it is sporting the Erebus drive:

And the nice clean image over SCART and through my OSSC (No interference here strangely, but for some reason my camera introduced odd artefacts into this pic)

And here is the Oric clone of Uridium:

It's a nice little machine, just need to replace the missing foot that's making it wobble now!!

Get together of the 6502 crew:

One notable absence is my Atari 7800 which is in a box still and I can't find it!!
Left to right: Acorn Electron, C64, BBC B, Atari 65XE, Atari 800XL, Atari 2600 (I know it isn't quite a full 6502, but hey), Oric Atmos and Apple ][e.

Very nice setup @rubber_jonnie glad to see you are making full use of your new space.
Love the Oric, always dabbled with getting one.

I was given it a really long time ago, probably in the late 90's by then brother in law. I have had it out maybe a couple of times over the years, but now I have a better retro room I thought it was time.

Nice. If all goes well with my move the retro room is going to be interesting. Already planning how to set it up.

Cool. It is so nice to have space to do stuff now, as I was in a loft room before and headroom was, well, limited and resulted on many bangs to the head!!
Hope your move is going smoothly, I totally understand what you're going through!!

@Icky
Rather than further hijack
@stephen_usher 's thread, I thought I'd add this here.
There are complete Aquarius PCB sets going on ebay:

And there is Facebook group here:
