AMS v2.04 for TI-89 and TI-92+ Released
Posted by Eric on 7 June 2000, 23:51 GMT

Reno notified us that TI has recently released the new version of the TI-89/92+ internal software. The new version includes an increased RAM limit for ASM programs (8K to 24K), language improvements, and other enhancements. Download AMS v2.04 for the TI-89 and TI-92+.

Update (Nick): I will say this once and once only:
IF YOU PUT AMS V2.04 ON YOUR CALCULATOR, WE HOLD ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSIBILITY TO ANY FUNCTIONALITY OF THE PROGRAMS YOU DOWNLOAD FROM THIS SITE. VERY FEW, IF ANY, ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS, WILL PROBABLY WORK. TI HAS BEEN KNOWN TO DECREASE COMPATIBILITY WITH EVERY SINGLE ROM VERSION AND THEIR "ENHANCEMENTS" USUALLY MEAN THAT ASSEMBLY PROGRAM LIMITATIONS HAVE BEEN PUT IN. DO NOT ASK US WHEN AUTHORS WILL PUT IN SUPPORT FOR V2.04: THAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE AUTHORS ALONE.
Thank you. :)

Update (Nathan): Okay, I know everyone's too lazy to do it themselves, so I'll just say that I upgraded to AMS 2.04, and DoorsOS II v0.96 installs, but doesn't work (Address error when trying to run Doors). Patrick Davidson informed us that Universal OS works perfectly under this crazy new AMS version, but only under hardware v1.00. So now you've been warned, and as usual, we don't want to hear about it if your programs don't work. Ask the authors, not us. Thank you. :)

Update Purple Monkey Dishwasher (Nick): I've gotten about six or seven emails that this ROM version in fact does transfer over successfully with a black link. Some people were, however, complaining about speed issues.

Double Update Action (Nick): Matt Baum gave me an email showing a brief list of programs and their functionality under this new AMS. It might be of help to some of you.

Man, i was reallu wrong. I thought that after I saw that Doors II 96 installed everything else should work. I was completely mistaken. I am very sorry if I misled someone into downloading the crap. If anyone, and I mean anyone, has a TI-92plus version of ASM 2.03 or lower PLEASE e-mail to me. My email is dmitry29@email.com. I will be most thankfull. I had many progs on my calc that I can't use any more so someone please HELP!
thanks

Email TI and ask them for AMS 1.00 (or 1.05 if your calculator is HW 2). Just remember that TI really doesn't care.

I'm Doomed! Doomed I say!
Sean Kinney  Account Info

A week before finals, my 89 died. 3 months before, my linkport had failed. 2 years before I bought the blasted thing.

It was a good trip. I accidentally kung-fu kicked the thing into a cement wall, and it's abs shell did not break. I accidentally stomped on it, and my LCD remained blemish free. I used the thing on a Chemistry test, and it died a miserable death.

so I was forced to think on my final exams. I got a 50 percent on my Algebra II/Trigonometry exam, and a 96 percent on my Chem exam. But still, I mourned. So I had the courier deliver it's corpse by insured mail, and sit waiting for the day when the post arrives baring my calculator.

I have a question, though. Mine was a calculator with HW 1.0 and Software 1.00, and it worked perfectly with the assembly programs that were out there. What will become of the new calculator, though? Almost certainly it will be Hardware 2, but what will the image be?

If it is the dreaded 2.04, if they have loaded it on to the calculators to be sold soon, what can I do? Is there any hope to restore the image at least, or will I be stuck with HW 2.00 and Image 2.04 until the last proton decays?

I bought my Ti-89 (HW2) after the release of AMS 2.03, actually long after, and it came with AMS 1.05. Hopefully they'll keep that policy.

I think the reason that they do that is to get people to buy the link-cables, after all their main goal is not to piss us off, just to take our money.

Couldn't you just get it from a friend with a computer -> calculator cable? TI should know that...

good lord, you used an 89 in an algebraII/trig class? that's a little overkill if you know what I mean...

Overkill? I use my 89 in Algebra 1! Fun with 100% on the quiz!

Overkill? Last year, I used my TI-30xa on the Algebra I FINAL and got slightly more than a 100 (but not enough extra points to qualify for a 101)
However, I do (or did, as school ended May 31) use my 89 (which I got in January) in both Geometry and Algebra II, although I was not allowed to use it on tests in Algebra II, yet I still got a 99 on the Algebra II Final - stupid multiple choice question! (I put 8/9 instead of 9/8) I don't know what I got on the Geometry Final, but I am guessing in the 98-100 range. And I did use my 89 on the Geometry Final, but only because I was letting someone else borrow my 86.

I barely used my 89 for advanced math, and even then it was to play games or use the +, -, /, *, and graph functions...

Don't worry.......I went through the same thing u did except instead of getin a new calc in the mail i got a check.....well the chekc isn't here yet i just went out to stapleas and bought a new one when they informed me that the check was in the mail. I bought a new calc (HW2) it came w/v1.00 so no need for the fuss. For all of you out there who criticize the new rom versions "WHY DID YOU BUY THE 89? IT WAS MEANT TO BE UPGRADABLE RIGHT? SO UPGRADE, OTHERWISE WHAT IS THE POINT TO BUTING AN UPGRADEABLE CALCULATOR? THERE IS NON.

uhhh, HW2 calcs are incapable of running rom 1.00.
I've tried.

One quick question. If I have a copy of the AMS 2.03 software, and upgrade to 2.04, can I just use the old 2.03 software and send it the normal way, or is some special procedure needed to downgrade a rom? Or, for that matter, is it even possible?

You would downgrade the exact same way the you "up"graded.

Thanks. Now I can experiemnt (specifically, with FLIB - I almost never use ASM progs) without worry :)

Ok, FLIB should work fine. I havn't tested all the funtions, but those I've tested work without a glitch on HW2 AMS2.04

Red Text is Bad.
aoejedi  Account Info

Arrgh! The red phosphorescent pigments of the graphical representing of the text on my cathode ray tube due to the stimulation by cathode ray "guns" resulting from the HTTP transfer of malignant data from the ticalc.org server have caused irreparable damage to the nervous tunic of both the left and right ocular bodies. The contrast has caused a buildup of fluid to occur between the retina and the choroid body inferior to the retina of the eye. The fluid buildup has caused the retina to detach from the choroid body, which functions in nourishment of the retinal photoreceptors. Without the nutrients provided, the retina will rapidly degenerate, especially in the central fovea of the macula lutea. Also, the shape of the retina will be altered, causing highly blurred vision and other damages to the intrinsic muscles of the eye, the lens, and the cornea.

Yes, they're all words.

Translated it means: The red text on my display has caused glaucoma - the separation of the retina from the wall of the eye, which in turn may cause other irreparable damage.

Needless to say, I learned this in my 9th grade Tortora & Grabowski [I think that's how you spell it] Human Anatomy and Physiology course.

DOWN WITH RED TEXT!!!

On the plus side, I haven't gotten anything 2.04-related since this got posted.

Red text can be good! If it catches your eye and prevents you from installing 2.04 because you didn't know that it would prevent you from running ASM programs, then it's good!
P.S. Light emitted from red phosphors doesn't cause glaucoma.
P.P.S Sorry for the empty post! (unless Nick has deleted it already). I hit enter by accident!

Mega Funky Radioactive Pig Update

Sorry, I misstated myself. Glaucoma is the overproduction of the aqueous humor. The disorder I stated was named simply detached retina.

Why deal with upgrading? Downgrade to the TI-83 Plus and NEVER WORRY ABOUT AMS VERSIONS AGAIN!!!

Anyone interested, contact me,

Glaucoma is the overproduction of wet humor? I'm sorry, that just sounds funny.

<--Yes, I know, you didn't mean funny humor...it just is-->
