I'm sure this has been asked before but as a relative newbie I would be interested in the answer.What is the future of BasicX? Atmel are no longer actively manufacturing or support the AT90S8535 chip. NetMedia have not produced any new versions based on later AVR chips. For example the ATmega32 has 32K flash and 2K of RAM which is 4 times that of the 8535. This would enable more system functions on the chip as well as more powerful BasicX programs. Clock speed can be 16 MHz. The ATmega32 is also basically hardware and software backwards compatible with the 8535. Not quite a slot-in replacement but almost. The less capable ATmega8 or ATmega8535 is even closer in terms of compatibility. , |

Thanks for that Don. All seems quiet. Perhaps someone should ping Chris or NetMedia and find out the status of this new work. I would do it but I'm not a long-standing member of the group and so may not have much leverage. Mike >--- In , Mike Perks <basicx@a...> wrote: >>[...] What is the future of BasicX?
