Well, it wasn't really an 86+...it was really just a TI-86 rom 1.1. And as
far as I know Bill Nagel and Dan Eble each got one. The only reason for the
flash capability was so they could test the rom with the hardware without
reburning a rom chip every second. They had no intention of "supporting" the
rom with upgrades or software or anything, so it's just as well they don't
sell them with flash.
