A83: Re: 86? 89? Perhaps and Maybe
I own the TI-83, 86, 89, and 92 and my favorite is, without a doubt, the
TI-89. I never really did use nor like my TI-86 much... It doesn't have
enough over the TI-83 other than memory to make me use it.
I like 68k assembly language better than z80 because it is more powerful and
allows you to do more per instruction. As for as ease of programming, I
find 68k much easier to program in. Once you get over the initial shock of
the seemly backwards instructions, data storage, and ways of addressing
(keep in mind I learned z80/x86 first...) it makes a lot more sense... a
very well designed processor in my opinion (other than the fact you can't
move .w or .l data to/from odd addresses). Of course, the TI-89 is awesome
as far as math is concerned!

Subject: A83: 86? 89? Perhaps and Maybe
Well, I've already asked a few people this question, and I still remain
thoroughly confused. I'm planning on getting either an 86 or an 89, and
while
I'm drawn to the..ahh..very..powerful... 89, I know it's a lot harder to
program for. Any of you have some words of wisdom to help guide me in the
right calc direction?
Thanks,
Jared C.
