Oric Links

Oric Org
Probably the single most important site out there. News, a software database, chat facilities and more! Now taking up a lot of my time, so not so many updates here at the 'Dragon!

Oric World
A major site by Fabrice Francés, lots of Oric stuff here including the Oric emulator Euphoric, which has its home here. PC users can download version 0.99n of the Oric emulator, then follow this link to get the upgrade to version 1.00. Also includes a Microtan 65 section.

Club Europe Oric
Homepage of the CEO. Includes a huge list of Internet Oric resources. Don't forget to subscribe to their magazine - it's excellent!

An improved DRAW command (25% faster) was featured in V1.21. Bug fixes are also included such as for the IF, THEN, ELSE error. Fully backwards compatible with previous ROMS.
