I've got masses of various development boards that I'll never use so propose to give various bits away to anyone who will pay the p&p

First off 2 working Colour Maximite 1 boards. Just tested that they generate a VGA output and respond to a console. Everything else should work but no guarantees.
One per person for the first two to reply

I'm in the UK.
Sorry, but I'm not going to spend the time working out shipping costs or if any duty etc. is payable. If you want to look likely costs up and propose a particular shipper that's fine by me but you get a service commensurate with the item cost

Hi Peter,
I'm looking for a Micromite+ E100 with the MicroBridge (V1d), to replace my ailing one.
Wondering if you can you help me? (I'm UK resident.)

With best regards, Paul.

Nothing so constant as change.

I’d like one, but I’m in the US.

Aren’t there computer swap meets in the UK? Typically people sell their old computers or non-working computers for low prices ($20-$50) and some people may also have a free shelf.

They are very few and far between in the UK now. There are groups, but generally "maker" groups using rather than based on computers.

===========================================

Go on then, Peter, I'll rescue one of them for my collection. It will probably not get used in earnest though.

I would grab them, but I already have a couple of them in my own PCB bin gathering dust!

Fab as the CMM1 was, the CMM2 is way better and now the chips are available again...
Even the PicoMite VGA has a much more "Modern" version of MMBASIC and can output 16 colours rather then 8, so.....unfortunately.....

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

I guess we'll never see a MMBasic 5.x on the CMM1 then...
