Re: A89: Re: Maybe some math programs?
Are you asking about the M68k chip that the 89 has? It's 10Mhz, isn't it? And all of the Z80 chips
in the other calcs are 6Mhz. That's what I remember hearing. Anyway, with 10Mhz, it should be able
to do most math programs without an extreme wait. I definitly see your point with the recursive
functions though. I wouldn't want to do 1000+ loops in BASIC.
