Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

It seems that a revival is happening to have small basic computers that can be directly programmed.
This looks interesting.

Basic on a Prop, sounds powerful but little in the way of performance details on the site. Anybody found out more?

For starters ...

PropBasic Syntax User Manual shows no data type that is floating point!

The basic commands seems like the "old PIC Basic" syntax of Parallax.

Hardware is quite expensive after adding up all the different board modules.

I will stick with my PIC32 hardware and the MMbasic software.

It can produce up to 64 colours but other than that, the Maximite MMBASIC and I/O capabilities will blow it away.
