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.

Can a MicroMite chip be programmed as a ColorMax ?

Not that I am aware of.

The uM chip is not fast enough, nor does it have enough memory to be able to squirt out colour either in composite or VGA.

From my understanding, on the MaxiMite, the VGA or composite is clocked out of the chip from the raw C code in the background - it is not something you can do from within the MMBASIC language.

However - why don't you get yourself one of the cool MicroMite Companion kits like I have just got? A uM driving a powerful graphics controller - should suit you down to the ground.

Does the sound have to come from the MicroMite, or are you interested in all sound modules you could add to the MicroMite, for example?
