I agree. Just the basic 8 digital RGB colours would be fine and stands a chance of being achievable at low cost. Such a device should not interfere with the MM's basic operation. It would require a firmware upgrade to support the colour but it shouldn't stop or change anything else. My hardware skills only go so far and there may be others much more knowledgable that can see ways of adding more colours for the same budget. I'd be happy with just 8.   donmck said   Mick said, imagine the MM sitting on the back of a tiny VGA screen in a home control application. And what about a maximite mounted within a keyboard! Paint it silver and call it a TRS-80! :)
