A89: Re: Actual Assembly Programming?!




There are certain reasons that we cant make assembly programs yet.
First of all, we dont know what any of the calls that Ti made are.  Its not
very fun to sit around and test 65,000 calls, having no idea whatsoever
where or what any of them do.  We do not know the locations of safe ram
either.
Second of all, to effectively produce assembly programs we would need to be
able to send one to the 89 in the correct syntax.
and last of all... most people, myself included, have no Ti-89 as of now.
