Tangerine Computer Systems was a British microcomputer company founded in 1979 by Dr. Paul Johnson, Mark Rainer and Nigel Penton Tilbury in St. Ives, Cambridgeshire. The very first product was the successful TAN1648 VDU kit which received much acclaim in the technical press. The home computer market was beginning to move, albeit slowly, and it was essential to establish a presence. Development and expansion was imperative. It was decided that the latter two partners would relinquish their involvement in order to focus on their consultancy work.

  • A Tangerine Computer Systems foi uma fabricante britânica de microcomputadores fundada em 1979 por Paul Johnson, Mark Rainer e Nigel Penton Tilbury em St. Ives, Cambridgeshire, Inglaterra. O nome da empresa, tangerina, foi inspirado pelo sucesso de outra fruta no mundo dos computadores, a Apple.. O primeiro produto da empresa foi o kit TAN1648 VDU, o qual foi bem recebido pela imprensa especializada. Como o mercado de computadores domésticos começava a se expandir, embora de modo lento, era necessário marcar presença no mesmo. A sede da empresa foi então mudada para Ely, Cambridgeshire, e, posteriormente, o próprio nome da empresa foi alterado e ela passou a ser conhecida nos anos 1980 como Oric International. (pt)
  • Tangerine Computer Systems var ett brittiskt företag skapat 1979 av Dr. Paul Johnson och Barry Muncaster. De producerade bland annat en av de första 6502-baserade datorerna, Microtan 65. 1983 skapade de Oric-1, vilken i stort baserades på Microtan 65. 1983 såldes det runt 160 000 Oric-1-maskiner i Storbritannien och 50 000 i Frankrike, där den var den mest sålda maskinen det året. Oric-1 utvecklades senare till Oric Atmos. Företaget döptes senare om och under större delen av 1980-talet var det känt som Oric International. Försäljningen av Oric Atmos blev en besvikelse. Förutom ett riktigt tangentbord, jämfört med de något svåranvända tangenterna på Oric-1, så fick Oric Atmos en buggig felkontrollsfunktion för bandlagring. För att försöka rädda situationen annonserades 1985 ett antal uppföljare. Bland annat utlovades IBM- och MSX-kompatibla modeller. Den 1 februari detta år presenterades Oric Stratos/IQ164 på en mässa i Frankfurt. På grund av ekonomiska problem blev modellen aldrig verklighet. Det franska företaget Euréka köpte strax efter upp resterna av Oric och efter att ha döpt om sig själva till Oric International så vidareutvecklade de Oric Stratos till en dator de sålde under namnet Oric Telestrat. I december 1987, efter att ha presenterat planerna på Oric Telestrat 2, så blev de ekonomiska problemen åter igen för stora och Oric International upphörde med sin verksamhet. (sv)
