I like it when source codes are released. It increases the # of shells available. But the shells are not identical, but become more and more advanced and developed. I sure can't wait to see the source of YAS for the TI-86.

Its unfortunate that he had his calculator stolen. Hopefully, somebody will donate a ROM version to him so he can continue testing. This would be legal as he owned (_owned_) a 92 whatever. I've had my 89 missing for about 5 minutes and my 86 stolen. I recoverd both. My friend has his 86 stolen, he recovered it as well. You just have to know the right people. I just had an 85 dollar watch and a wallet stolen out of a locked locker at the YMCA. I am no longer a member to the Y; Lifetime Fitness rocks! Big screen TVs; but now I'm slipping off topic. Ok, what I was trying to say is there are tons of slugs out there who steal without any moral thought whatsoever. Makes me mad. Hope he gets his calc back.

roms are easy to find if you look :P

especially in places like my hard drive ;)

His calculator wasn't stolen, he lost it during the move. He *claims* he's looked everywhere, but I doubt it. :P

He has his TI-85, at least (need to talk him into using Usgard, hehe). But he's still looking for his calc.

He also has a copy of the ROM from his calc--and yes, it is illegal to send anyone a copy of the ROM for any reason whatsoever. It says so in the End User License Agreement, which you've agreed to by using the calculator.

Yeah, that's the right story. He also has his old TI-92 with the broken link port. Unfortunately, this one doesn't have a TI-92 Plus module (I believe).

Yep. I get to borrow his TI-92 if he finds his lost one. :) I don't know if I get to borrow it before then because I got a TI-89 before I actually had occasion to borrow it, and it seemed somewhat pointless (TI-89 is mostly the same thing).

Well, of course the Plus module is installed in the lost TI-92. That pretty much sucks. I'm bummed.

(But I keep an eye out for the calc every time I visit. Let's keep hoping!)

You could use VTI by Rusty Wagner (correct me if I speled his name wrong) with the TI-92 Plus ROM. And it might not be illegal since he cant find the calculator, not like he threw it in the trash or something or purposly got rid of it.

It's still illegal to send anyone a ROM for any reason whatsoever. It's in some license agreement (you know, the ones you never read)...

As I said the first time, it's illegal to send any ROM dump for any reason except for your own personal use.

I think officially we're not even supposed to dump our own ROMs, but TI turns their back on that, as it *does* allow programmers to more quickly develop programs, and we all know that games help sell calculators. But don't hold me to that.

And yes, I know it doesn't matter if you send a ROM to someone who has that calculator. It's illegal anyhow.

I'm happy to see David is still with us :)
Hope this release will be useful to the community

this should help with the new open source ROM.
