To support this I plan to extend the Maximite firmware so that the BASIC program can be saved in the PIC32's internal flash and this will automatically execute on start up (ie, no SD card required). With the addition of PWM, serial, I2C and other protocols (to be developed) this would make a very powerful and low cost brain that could be used for many projects.

Fantastic! I have hopes of using it with a current robot project, serial and SPI would be vital.

I assume the MMC is using the SPI protocol. Being able to set pins as CS would mean you could extend the capabilities immensely, for example an SPI servo driver or dual PWM motor driver would then be possible.
