information.
Oric Telestrat is the last Oric computer (Released in 1986, mainly in France).

+This computer is an Atmos with extra hardware: RS232, cardridge(banking system),
joysticks (2 ports) or mouse (on joystick port), FDC.
Video chip, CPU, keyboard management, tape hardware are the same than Atmos.
This Telestrat target build an Orix binary file. But, in the future, it will be possible
to build a Stratsed disk. Orix uses the same systems calls than Telemon mode.

Telestrat (from cardridge) can handle 8 banks (from $C000 to $FFFF): Bank 0 is the overlay ram. Others banks can be ROM or RAM.
Access to the VIA (Versatile Interface Adapter) chip is available via the
<tt/VIA/ variable. The structure behind this variable is explained in <tt/_6522.h/.

Telemon 2.4 & 3.0 manages joysticks but it had been handled yet. This means that
joysticks driver could be written easily.
Telemon 2.4 returns in keyboard buffer the direction of the joysticks. This means that
if you get input from keyboard by conio cgetc function, you will get direction from joysticks.

<sect1>Mouse drivers<p>

-
Telestrat manages also mouse, but it had been no handled yet in this version.
Telestrat mouse is really difficult to find.

-
Telestrat has a RS232 port, but it's not usable in cc65. It is possible to use
RS232 port with Telemon calls (see XSOUT primitive for example)

<sect1>Disk I/O<p>
Telemon 3.0 handles fopen, fread, fclose primitives. It means that this
function will crash the Telestrat because Telemon 2.4 does not have these
primitives. By the way, Telemon 3.0 uses an extension "ch376 card" which
-handles sdcard and FAT 32 usb key. In the next version of Telemon, FT DOS,
-Sedoric, Stratsed will be handled in these 3 primitives (fopen, fread,
-fclose).
