Peter has released V5.07.06 of the PicoMite and PicoMiteVGA firmware (V5.07.05 was skipped).
This release is an update to both versions and fixes all currently known bugs. However the outstanding new feature is the Flash Filesystem. In case you have missed Peter's beta test versions this looks like a normal disk drive to MMBasic and is automatically created by the firmware using the spare flash memory in the Pico. Data and programs can be read/written using the normal BASIC file commands (SAVE, RUN, OPEN, etc) and sub directories can be created and deleted, long filenames used, etc.
This is a major feature and is worth the upgrade. Peter has done a tremendous job
The changes are listed in the release notes and both user manuals have been updated and now include change bars to highlight the new material.
The new firmware and manuals can be downloaded from:
PicoMite: https://geoffg.net/picomite.html
PicoMiteVGA: https://geoffg.net/picomitevga.html
Upgrading the firmware will erase the program and programs stored in the flash slots and clear any options set. So save everything first.
