One of the more unusual BBC micro peripherals has been given greater scope by the addition of two software packages.

Digithurst's (0223 208926) Microsight vision system now includes BBC Hi-Res, which lets you display a 256 x 256 image in mode 0, and a Photo Graphics package which displays an image of the same resolution in mode 2, representing colour on a monochrome display with grey shades.

The Microsight system - a camera, the software, and documentation - costs £570.
