With the success of the ZX Spectrum from Sinclair Research, Tangerine’s backers suggested a home computer and Tangerine formed Oric Products International Ltd to develop the Oric-1. The computer was introduced in 1982. During 1983, approximately 160,000 Oric-1 computers were sold in the UK, plus another 50,000 in France (where it was the year’s top-selling machine). This resulted in Oric being acquired and given funding for a successor model, the 1984 Oric Atmos.
