Re: A89: what can the rest of us do to help?

well, what about us people that can't program anything?  with the exception of BASIC!  =)  it does sort of feel like crap when you're just sitting here with a BRAND spankin new piece of machinery with some cutting edge designs and you can't do jack with it.  here i am reading through the manual (i know, crazy) and all the cool people are figuring out how to make games and stuff. 

you're right, there's got to be something we can do.  actually, i am making a webpage and i just thought of this now.  how about everyone tell me what they're doing and how far along they are.  then i'll make a page summarizing everything?  then i'll update it whenever you make some advancements? 

either that or think of something.  i don't want to just sit here and finish the manual. . . . =)

I'm not smart enough to be able to figure out how to get assembly for the 89 working, but I do have a TI-graph link and a brand new 89.  As most people here are concerned, I would like to see some assembly action on the 89 as soon as possible, and I'd be willing to work some extra hours helping the good programmers figure this all out.

There have been quite of few TI's pass down the "assembly" line and all of them have been hacked into asm support.  Now, I'm sure the 89 is no different.  If anything, it should be EASIER because of its built in "exec" command.  I am fairly knowledgable in z80 and 68k assembly, so I'd be more than happy to help the good programmers out there with some of the eaiser tasks that need to be completed.  If there's anything I can do, like figure out how to do the ROM dumping stuff, just ask.  I'm sure that there's a lot of tedious tasks that are pretty straight-forward and if it makes more time available to the programmers if I chip in my time, then so be it.

"The greatest pleasure in yo-yoing is an abstract
pleasure--watching the dramatization of simple physical
laws, and realizing they will never fail if a trick is done
correctly.  The geometric purity of it!  The string isn't
just a string, it is a tool in the enactment of theorems.
It is a line, an idea"       - Frank Conroy, Stop Time
