What"s up with this? I clicked the link, but there is no link to an AMS 2.04... Is this site messed up, or is it TI???

Well, try to "update" the page. (F5 if you use IE)
But I know there are sometimes errors on ti's website, so if it doesn't work, try to open the page several times.

Damn, I really like your webpage!

I've never seen one of THOSE before! What ARE those?

I dont know but whatever the hell it is.. im getting one for my gf

By saying that here, you've probably boosted the hit counter of his/her website by double what it was before... ;-)

You can imagine how tired that poor little "(Web Page)" link must be from being clicked on so much...

OK, OK. I'll be quiet now. :-)

Hmmm, cool. I hope the next version of VTI will allow software upgrades like this to the ROMs via virtual link.

You don't have to wait for VTI to recieve the upgrade over the virtual link. With VTI beta 5, it can read the ROM file on your computer directly! Simply put the ti89base.89u file into VTI's directory on your hard drive, then close and restart VTI. Right click the calculator, choose "Set Calculator/ROM version," and choose 2.04 (update). Isn't VTI wonderful?!

Agh, that red text sure sucks a lot of life out of your eyes

Just a quick question-- anybody actually d/l the new AMS and see if it has any real benefits over AMS 2.03? Thanks!

I guess that's because everyone's too scared that their programs won't work :-P

It would be really funny if no one downloaded it... like ever... TI would be so confused!

Nah, Flash(TM)(R) developers would.

<FLAGRANT HINT TO TI>True, but what are they gonna do without an SDK?</FLAGRANT HINT TO TI>

No one does download it, as far as they can see. Maybe 10 people get it before they put it on ticalc.org... then everyone downloads it from here. We steal their hits! Yay!

it's a little faster (just a little)

AMS 2.03 is a lot slower than AMS 1.00 in drawing stuff on the screen. TI must have made a stupid mistake in their drawing functions in 2.03, but they fixed it in 2.04, so 2.04 is back to being as fast as 1.00! TI goes around in circles...

Anybody out there know how to send v2.04 to your calc using a parrallel link cable??????

I recall hearing a software called ParallelLinkFlashSender for the 89, and It worked pretty well. I could not find it anymore though, I know someone mentioned it many times after the release of AMS 2.03 . Go check that article out if Ticalc didn't delete it.

Run 2.04 on VTI, then right click and choose "enable parallel link," then hook your calc up to the link and have VTI send the upgrade as if you were upgrading from another calc.

its original name is parallelcableflashsender
it's in the archive of this site under another name: parallel flasher

Has anyone noticed the message on the page: "This free upgrade replaces your existing operating system. This update increases RAM limit for ASM programs from 8 K bytes to 24 K bytes, improves language localization, and contains enhancements to support future Calculator Software Application development. To be able to install multiple Calculator Software Applications you must have at least version 2.01." or the one that was there before that: "This free upgrade replaces your existing operating system (i.e. Advanced Mathematics Software (ASM) Version 1.0, 1.05, 2.01, 2.02, 2.03 or EE·Pro 1.0 Operating systems). Version 2.04 enables you to install multiple Calculator Software Applications." Notice how the infamous AMS 2.01 and 2.02 are mentioned? I thought TI did not develop these? What's up? I wonder what other goodies TI has been holding out from us...

ti did make those rom versions, because they are encrypted with the right checksum, which only ti knows

So how are those GtkTiLink people going to integrate Flash support in their next version?

Umm, you don't need to know the encrypted checksums to send *.89k or *.9xk files...

Oh, I'm sorry, I just thought that TI would do their usual Microsoft-type thing and encrypt the file transfers :-)

Yeah, but TI denied that when they were leaked to the general public by that French guy...

Where can I get versions 2.01 and 2.02? I've never heard of them before. When were they released?

2.01 were released shortly before 2.03 was released. Well, technically, 2.01 was never actually released. They were leaked from TI to some person, He was french, i think, and he distrubuited it. I even e-mailed TI asking what was 2.01, and they said that it was a third party ROM that was never authorized and install at your own risk. There is an article: "AMS 2.01 released" in the huge article database on Ticalc. It was between the months of November and December of 1999

No, no there wasn't.
There was an article when 2.03 was released, and it mentioned 2.01.

--BlueCalx

some calcs in France have been sold with ams 2.01 and 2.02 in it.

Send me an e-mail and I will give you a copy of the AMS 2.01

What's the EE·Pro 1.0 Operating System? I know about the flash app but not the Operating System.

Prior to AMS 2.0x, in order to install a "FlashApp," you had re-install the entire OS. Thus EE*Pro had to be written into the OS, and distributed as part of it.
