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.

So.. While watching some other Youtube vids, I watched this one... Seemed like a neat device... And later in the video, I found out that, yes it will run MMBasic as well as other firmware..!!
So, I ordered one to give it a try...
The UF2 file can be found on GitHub
Wondering what TBS users would think about it...

Note that it doesn't and can't run a standard version of MMBasic so you are reliant on whoever to make MMbasic work. In particular the screen handling implements some sort of H/W scrolling but based on reports on the other thread this isn't really successful.
