I have a PicoMiteVGA and have the setting OPTION SYSTEM I2C GP0,GP1 but I noticed that I cannot start it without the RTC. Is there a way of disabling OPTION SYSTEM I2C without having to reprogram the Pico?

(I did look at the manual but could not locate a reference to an undo statement)

Sorry about the multiple posts but when I posted the first two I got a fatal error and assumed it didn't upload

It looks like OPTION RTC AUTO Disable fixes my issue.

Yeah, sometime the technology-gods throw a spanner in the works like that.

I've locked the other two threads.
Glad you got it sorted.

Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops!

This is a bug. It should start regardless. The issue is that it is trying to write an error message before MMbasic has started up and so locking up. Will fix.
