hey it looks like 2.04 on hw1 adds more archive mem, like having hw1 ams2.03 with maxmem

Cool... I guess we won't have a barrage of voided warranties anymore. :-)

Ummm, I guess I don't know how to archive stuff, cause I could only get the FlashROM fiulled up until 380k were left on the FlashROM...

Once again, some idiot(i'm not saying anything about anyone, and i'm saying that in the nicest possible way)
Looked at his mem box, saw that there was about 700K of mem free, and thought that he could use them. But if that person(I'm not pointing any fingers) archives stuff until it cannot archive any more, he would be left with about 380K of memory free. This is just like 2.03, where HW1 users have much less memory than HW2.
I still use 2.03 with maxmem, it's worth it. Even though them HW2 people have the latest updates from TI, I'm still glad that I got my HW1 because most developers seem to prefer it for ASM programming.

OK , there's a big confusion here.
WHY people thinks that HW1 calculators has only 384kb of flash rom when upgrading to ams 2.03 ? only some (HW1)TI89 would only have 384kb of mem.

I:
Ams2.03 HW1 calc, and I use 450kb of archive mem.
Everything works fine, and I don't use maxmem .

Ah, yes. I see you have the 1.15 Boot Loader...

Hmm, guess not then. I assumed you had one of the freak Boot Loaders, and that was causing the erratic behaviour of your FlashROM. But since you're one of the "idiots" and don't know how to read the Mem screen....

eh??
In the mem screen it says 702kb of free archive mem, but it's not true. That's what I just discovered today...thanks to Aurora Boriales (just ruined my day...night).

that's all.

NO ! WAIT!! it says "450kb free", not "450kb used" !
I will tray to overpass the 380 kb ......(prying)
I cannot believe that the 720.884 number is false...
please not !

.........
it is

it is false...
it is sad, very sad. I will...
upgrade to 2.04 JUST NOW !!

I'm one of those idiots. It's hard to admit, but it's the truth. I always though that ams2.03 increased my TI89 HW1 memory.......(read my post below....)I'm upgrading now, no matters what the f#@ºx happens with compatibility.

so that you can put more games that doesn't work???

my HW1 ams2.03 has 702 kb of archive mem...

uh, I hate my own old posts.
I just upgraded to 2.04, memory is the same... I sent sma and chaos, then archived many copies in diferent folders... it just cannot overpass the 380 kb...

for those of you who haven't figured this out yet, MAXMEM for ams 2.03 allows you to use ALL 720k of archive. an alternative...if anyone read my posting at the very top, is to install any flash-app, that also allows you to use the full 720k, minus what the flash app takes, so strangely enough you gain mem by installing it

I guess this means that I have to return my Graph-Link (it is broken), maybe now that school is over, I can find time... it has been broken since February.

ams2.04 seems a bit faster than 2.03, especially in the menus and varlink screen...anybody else notice this?

I also noticed a tiny increas in speed, but after using FastKBD, it was alot better!

what about 3d graph speed ?

It's the same AMS 2.03. I don't think this will increase as TI doesn't feel like optimizing their code...

2.04 is faster than 2.03, but the funny thing is, 1.00 was faster than 2.03 too. TI made a mistake or something in 2.03 that made it slow, but they fixed it in 2.04.
