to much trouble in my own opinion and it would increase the size of
programs.

it has been discussed but it would require an external chip that is
connected through the link port. also it would require page flipping
techniques and would take a longer time to load the program because it
would have to copy the program to the main TI memory first(from what i
have read). and the TI-85 has only 32k of memory. also if you are going
to open up your 85 BE CAREFUL. the reason why i say this is because i
screwed up one of my ti-85's when trying to do that(some of the screen
doesn't display(i cut the screen cable).
