Just a quick response Nick,
I was speaking with Mick G. earlier tonight about when we had good old black and white, and were longing for Colo(u)r. We moved into a thing called The Excalibur, which basically was a TRS-80 with Colo(u)r. A steal of the Roms even, as were the VZ200-300s etc. I know because I dis-assembled them all.
The point being, Mick reminded me of how much better even simple graphs were in colour, and yes we all have a VGA screen just sitting there. Well it was doing a lot less a few weeks ago.
So, I may have an interest in a basic color system, but not at the expense of crippling the MM, and certainly an external cheapie would greatly enhance the ability of MM to be a better Micro-controller system.
Mick said, imagine the MM sitting on the back of a tiny VGA screen in a home control application.
Cheers Don...
