I would like to try the Oric Atmos firmware but the reload-emulator zip file doesn't contain any of the ".uf2" files needed to change the NEO6502 configuration.  I found the .uf2 files for Apple II and Apple IIe on the Olimex FTP server but there isn't anything there for the Oric Atmos.  Could anyone point me to a location where I could get this firmware?

Thanks Ralf. 

I managed to get it to boot properly, figured out how to load the OS (call 800) and change floppy (f1-f9) and run a program (-{program_name}).

Can anyone tell me how to access software from a USB Flash drive (key)?

I'm coming to the conclusion that contrary to the information on Olimex's website, there is no usb support in the firmware.  I'm wondering if anyone has built the firmware themselves and added some additional software images? I don't have the means to build it myself so I'm just relying on what I can download.  It would be nice to have more than one program to demonstrate.

Have you tried this one?

I'm sorry otherwise, I have no experience with the Oric...

There are different emulators, not all support everything. Some support storing on the USB, some support storing on the SD card, some don't support storing to external storage.

do not forget these are all open source projects done for fun in the free time, so they are at the stage which was satisfactory for the author, adding new features may or may not be implemented
