Here is the final program - VGA running from the standard PicoMite firmware. You will have to wait for RC10 to try it. With RC10 you can load the standard non-VGA firmware onto a Pico RP2350 installed on a VGA board with the usual RGB121 connections. Set the CPU speed to 252MHz then load and run the attached and you will get a very simple 640x480 demo entirely coded in MMbasic. It won't run on an RP2040 as there isn't enough memory for the framebuffer.
