Fossa64-Micro - DISCONTINUED

A concept I thought about for a while - can I go smaller than mini & just add desired .pets?

UPDATE 04Sep24 - Micro had too many bugs; Small (174mb) to be released soon.

@ozsouth :-

^^^Lol!

"Midi"....."mini".....and now "micro". So; what's next on the agenda, Oz? "Nano", perhaps? Would it even be possible to go any smaller still...?

@mikewalsh - I think Micro is as low as I can safely go without breaking much & still have a usable pup. So no plans for pico or nano! This was inspired by the weekly requests we get for a base puppy to add things to. Seems to be a lot of interest in this series of pups.

Just too many libs missing to make this really useful, so discontinued. Fossa-Mini is a much better option. See 1st post.

I am enjoying using this Fossa Micro for testing all kinds of weird stuff so I hope you don't mind if I continue to post various utilities here.
(Keen to end up with a tiny pup with a good spectrum of features...)

I made a "sort of" CD player for Micro here:
