Re: A89: Suggestion: A simple C compiler
What really needs to be done is to edit TI's ROM and add a built-in assembler. Otherwise, when the
calc crashes from you program, you won't have the assembler on your calc anymore. The assembler
needs to be in some sort of non-volatile RAM, so that if the calc crashes, you can still access your
assembler. The mem expander would work great if the driver for it was included in ROM...
And all of this isn't even touching compiling times on the ~10Mhz processor...
