It would be really nice if someone would upload commo70.zip which the rom86 docs refer to... The page it refers to isn't up anymore, making it hard to dump.

does anybody know any "illegal" sites for the .rom image?
I have the calc for school but don't want to blow 20$ on a cable

Well, you don't have to blow $20 on a cable... (Personally, the cable-only package at Staples was $38.51, but I didn't feel like attempting to build one.)
You have 3 total choices:
a) shell out the dough.
b) build your own. Total price, assuming you do it correctly the first time and don't break anything: $4
c) Go to www.linkcables.com - $12.50 for their's.

I this new emu idea sounds alot like the emu some guy from the ACZ is working on, but I guess the more emu's the merrier.

it sure would be nice to have one of these emulators ported to linux...

I seems Kirk just has to be in every news post. Can't they just announce someone's achievement without involing Kirk. Itss not right. Sure they may contol everything and can put up what they want but comeon! At least show the guy some respect. I think the part should be erased or put up as a separate news post.

Have you ever read the book Animal Farm? If so, then you know why they keep doing it. Kirk is Napolean and the other pigs are the coordinators.

That would make Bryan Rabeler Snowball.

(PS to all who don't get this: READ _ANIMAL FARM!_)

I like "Animal Farm". Isn't it a great book? I think the parallels to the Russian revolution were superb. Yes, I know this is off-topic.

Sorry, it seemed to me that they were releated enough. There were already three news items for the day. And Bryan, thanks for your anonymous post equating me with Napoleon, and you of course as Snowball. But somehow neither of those analogies quite fit.

When will the new version of Emu86 with ROM dumping directly through the software be out. I have no idea how to get a ROM image from my TI-86 and that new feature will help me out a ton, thanks!

Click the url above for a prog called "rom86", which dumps your rom onto your computer. You'll also need a com program that doesn't kick out null charecters. (see the ROM86 docs)

Does anyone know when it is coming out?

An example of this kind of com program would be ?? ... I tried with Telix & Hyperterminal, but the captured file size is less than 260k ?!? What should I Do?

APP YOUR HELP

Well, it's a long shot, but you could try reading the attached readme file.

my neighbor has some emus. he raises them as a business. they're like these big-ass ostrich birds. they're huge, and boy do they smell

Wrong Kind of EMU there buddy.

What is the other kind of emus the guy was talking about.

For everyone who forgot how to look words in the dictionary:

EMU:

1 : any of various tall flightless birds (as the rhea)

2 : a swift-running Australian bird (Dromaius novae- hollandiae) with undeveloped wings that is related to and smaller than the ostrich

I don't see why everyone is so worried about the speed of the emulator. I can sun one of the ptehr 86 emulators great on a P100. I am now using a PII 400. What difference does it make wether or not it goes fast?

How do you use this program? Is there a readme file that I didn't get?
