i don't know if this is my new computer, or v.93...... but before, it took 30 seconds to compile and compress one of my games, now it takes like 1 second...... this computer is only 4 times faster than the old one.... so i don't think it can be the computer.... is it now faster?

It seems to be somewhat faster on my computer too. Maybe I'm just losing my mind though.

can they make a z80 version of this, that would be good. If they can't im goona have to get me a voyager 200

Get an 89. Trust me.

I got an 89!!!
Yay!!!
spam-a cross between ham and spaghetti

They have a C compiler for z80, its called "small C" or somthing like that but its kinda not practicle. The programs it generates are very large and slower than what you would normally get with straight assembly.

Yes, so don't gripe that there isn't a TIGCC for the 83(+). Learn Z80 asm instead.

ok my comment may digress from topic but i felt this the best place to place this. could'nt you, as a memory expander for the 89 and 92+ calcs, create a circut board with memory and have a i/o cable sticking out the end with a backup battery? well i would appreceiate any help/ comments. thanks

Already been done. Anybody else remember what I'm talking about? There's some built-in ASM program in the device which lets you transfer to and from the box, which I believe has about 500K or so of extra memory.

where can i get this "box"? can i build it myself? thanks

Well, I found some stuff...

(use Playstation memory cards as 'disks' for storing/retrieving data)

A 512KB memory expander for the 85, 85, and 92. Some people have attempted to port the on-calc drivers for it to the 89 and 92+, but the creator has doubts that they work at all.

Not sure exactly what this is. I think it's a general schematic for a memory expansion that would work on the 89/92/92+, but I could be wrong. Seems like it allows you to pick how much you want to add (he mentions a ~1MB expansion).

Playstation memory cards?!?!?! Time to play Spyro on the calculator!

WOOHOO! This is like the 9th time I've read this whole message board.

Same hear! HOORAY! WOOHOO! HOORAY! WOOHOO!

That would be MEMORY CARDS, not CDs. Oy.

Well... um.... um.... um...... um.......... uhhhh.......... wel........ you could save the game from the playstation........ and make a saved game editor with the calculator....... maybe.......... never mind.

Actually, that's a perfectly valid idea.

ah, SWEEEEEEEEET!

Wait, did I say SWEET? Come to think of it, those memory cards are kind of salty. Hey, has anyone ever licked a 9-volt battery? I have!

Boy... I'm thirsty... Hey, a 9-volt battery! Hm... my mom always told me never to lick them... wonder why?... hm.... maybe she's just being silly... hmm.... well.... okay, here it goes...

---===ZZAAPP!!!!===---

Hey, can I have that battery? It must be new because it gave you a ---===ZZAAPP!!!!===---!!!
(Quick, everyone lick your nine-volt batteries)

---===ZZAAPP!!!!===---
My . . . mouth . . . feels . . . funny . . .

I shouldn't have listened to the chicken . . .

My mouth hurth very much, or rathther, my tongue hurth. That mutht have been a new battery!
I reccomend that you people don't try thith with new batterieth
