So, Ive had a break through with the Oric Atmos in BlitzMaxNG which has filtered through to the Commodore Vic20

More to come

I have the VIC20 working now and good progress on the ORIC ATMOS 48K.

Ive Noticed are German friends call the VIC20, VC20 is this because it sounds like something else!

Please TELL!

I think because VIC when pronounced sounds like fick and in German, fick means Spectrum is better than Commodore

That's right. But VC in Germany was also advertised as Volkscomputer (like people's computer, computer for the masses) in reminiscence of the car maker Volkswagen (VW).

I Think fik! must be the one!

Deviating Slightly, the Spanish didn't call the Corsa a NOVA. Because that means NO GO!

and there was also the PAJERO! Work that one out!

What's the Vic 20 breakthrough, Baggey? 

As for the Oric, I remember playing with one of those in the local Debenhams as a teenager.

Put that in a loop with a 1 second interval between each sound in a basic program and then you get thrown out :-)

LOL, Used to do things like that at WHS.

Well for me it's a break through. Ive finally got the Jiffy clock working with VIA/CIA and interrupts working together! Which has helped me with the Oric Atmos 48K

When i have games working ill post a demo Incidently this is going to help me with the other Commodore models and the ATARI and hopefully with the BBC.
