Hello there

Well, I had a similiar problem a few months ago! I was writing a little 
program for the TI-83, similar to April Fools, just a little program which 
wants to tell the user that the calc is crashed! Whenever the calc was on 
the home screen, crap was displayed!
I'm sorry but I can't remember what I used for checking if you're on the 
home screen! What exactly is your interrupt supposed to do?
Which interrupt mode do you use?

Maybe I can help you, if you tell me these both things! Unfortunately my 
TI-83 is broken, but somewhere on my hard drive I've got this program! If 
you want I can try to disassemble my program, just to find out, how I 
checked that! But: I WOULD NEED A ROM IMAGE OF THE TI-83 FOR THE VTI 
EMULATOR
I'm pretty sure you won't send me that ROM image, but if you do I'm sure I 
could find that little trick

But if you don't want to...

See ya,
