We in the Oric-1/Atmos scene are still producing software for these 8-bit machines. (I say we, I'm just a participant in the party as a CLOAD'er, mostly, but one of these days that bit will flip..) Anyway, there is a huge resurgence of interest in these kinds of old machines, which frankly: still work, even if their users have all died or moved on to other things. Old computers can still teach every new generation a lot of things about the world, so instead of pitching that stuff out folks, consider the oil-debt of what it took to build (i.e. a lot) before your relinquish the right to make it boot. My old machines still provide hours of mirth and adventure. I could put one on the 'net, but then again a big reason to have this machine is entirely not to have it on the 'net! :) (Edit: http://oric.org http://oric.org http://forum.defence-force.org/ http://forum.defence-force.org/)
