Re: A85: New Calcs...


The asm sheel needs to know the ROM version to find out which addrs to use
for ROM_CALLs , and this is in some shells stored in the shell. I copied
the following from a .h file included with a TI85 shell (can not remember
which one)

ROM_VERS        =$8C3E  ; ROM version byte:
                        ;  57h: 3.0A
                        ;  8Eh: 4.0
                        ;  5Eh: 5.0
                        ;  3Dh: 6.0
                        ;  97h: 8.0
                        ;  91h: 9.0
                        ;  35h: 10.0

The same information can also be found at $77FFF.
