Hi folks,

I don't suppose any can point me at a definitive reference (other than digging through the source which is my fallback) as to how many flash slots (4, numbered 1..4 ?) and their size (128 K ?) the PicoMite + PicoMiteVGA support ?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

Size, I dunno.
I *think* they all have 3 flash slots now, with slot 3 being used for the Library if you set it up. Please don't quote me on this though.

> flash save 4
Error : 4 is invalid (valid is 1 to 3)
> option list
PicoMite MMBasic Version 5.09.00RC5

Same for PicoMite & PicoMiteVGA
Latest manual mostly says 3 and 4 at one point but maybe including program memory (Flash 0 I guess).
Size for program memory is given as 160kB and does not mention any size restriction when saving to flash so I assume they are (or were in 5.08) also 160kB.

Thanks Mick, it is 3 slots and the size depends on the platform:

PicoMite 132K
PicoMiteVGA 100K
PicoMiteUSB 96K
WebMite 88K

Best wishes,

Thanks @phil99, I suspect that is out of date and these are also the program sizes.

Best wishes,

Cheers Tom. That's useful info to have.
It might be out of date by next week, of course. ;)
