I have just started to try out the U mite .

1
When using Teraterm on the Maximite I could copy from notebook no problem.
If I try to do this on the U mite it executes the lines as they are copied .Text copies ok but as soon as commands are copied an error comes up.
My query is how to avoid this ?.

2.
I have recently built Big Micks kits for the VT100 display and keyboard . Both are working well.
I have a B/W maximite out in the shed that has quite a number of graphic commands such as CLS : PRINT@ etc .My idea was to use the U Mite to analyse problems in the house. As these commands are not available on the U mite I cannot do this . My question is can I download the Maximite programme into the U mite or is this a no no.

3. Is there some documentation to explain how to handle the equivalent commands as
CLS : PRINT@ etc on the U mite

Before you paste your code you will have to enter AUTOSAVE ON directly from the prompt and when the code is loaded you will have to mark the end of file with the key strokes CTRL Z

The maximite and the micro mite are completely different animals and you cannot load firmware meant for one with the other.

Natively the Micromite only has a serial console port for message input and output and cannot be treated like the vga display that is on the maximite. Some graphics commands are available to the Micromite via colour LCD displays that can be attached.

Hope that helps

Thanks for that
I should have been trying to load the programme in EDIT mode
I got a bit confused I typed "autosave on" as I thought you meant.
The command is autosave. I should have found it in the manual. sorry about that.
Any way I understand how to to do it now
