Not sure what we're going to do with it considering the small screen, but it sure is one heck of an accomplishment.
Kudos and congratulations! FWIW the MBASIC supplied is very similar to GWBASIC which in turn is very similar to ModelT BASIC; the main gotchas are cursor location and drawing, and running commands and parameters together without spaces is not allowed. So it should not be too difficult to convert Model T BASIC programs and have access to two relatively large RAM disk "drives"...
