  I tested the software and it worked for my TI-89. The ROM was a freaking
2048K!!! I thought it was a meg at the very most. Does anyone know how much of
the rom, is flash rom? (if you know what I'm think) The windows dump program
gave a link error anytime another window got activated so I had to dissable my
screen saver. It took about 30 minutes to dump the rom. I don't remember there
being a "ROM dump completed"  message appearing on my calc.
