We Oric-1/Atmos users have been enjoying the heck out of wiring up an RP2040 to our systems .. it makes an excellent peripheral controller .. adds USB mice, keyboard, mice, etc. to 40 year old systems.

Just wanna say, adding the RP2040 to 8-bit systems increases the fun, yo ..

I'm pretty sure Neo6502 is going to get LOCI emulation mode for booting with the Oric Atmos ROM sooner or later .. that is going to be very interesting, from the perspective of next-generation Oric development ..



I can see it being fun if it's truly a peripheral to an otherwise fully-functional system


Indeed, that is exactly what it has become for the Oric-1/Atmos, in the LOCI project .. which gives the Oric access to USB peripherals, including storage, and getting such things under control are the first step in making retro- computers useful again ..
