- Tape programs are found but not loaded.

History and Trivia:
The Oric Atmos was the successor of the Oric 1 and had almost the same characteristics. Its
main difference with the Oric 1 was it's enhanced RAM (48 KB instead of 16 KB), the keyboard
and the debugged ROM (the ORIC 1 had several bugs). Several peripherals were availables:
3" floppy disk drive, a small 4 colour plotter, a speech synthesiser and a Digital/Analogue
converter. An external interface was needed to use joysticks.
