Within the year, the original Oric was replaced by the Oric Atmos (on the picture), with improved kayboard, Basic and cassette loading. Latest model - Oric Stratos - was planed to replace Atmos, but Tangerine Computers was bought by a french company (1986) and Stratos was finally replaced by the Telestrat.
