General information

The OSDK is a complete cross-development system allowing you to create software for the Oric range of computers 1.

If you are interested in developing your programs for other 6502 based machines than the Oric, you should check cc65. You are still reading, so I assume that you are still interested in the OSDK. Good.

1) This includes the Oric 1, Oric Atmos, and Oric Telestrat. OSDK is not compatible with the first, original, machine in the Oric range (the Microtan 65). If you never heard of Oric before, you can read about it on Wikipedia
2) A real Linux port will be available at some point, in the meantime this Wine compatibility should be good enough.
3) If you know of projects using the OSDK that are missing from this list, please contact me and I will add them to the list.
