RE: A92: FLASH technology, ti92+, and 89
Okay, I just found out I was correct. The TI-92 normally has 128k in it
with about 68k free. When you install the plus module, it adds 128k
more to that minus another 8k used in variables, so there is another
120k. This gives you a total of 188k. Then there is another 384k
added. So, the 384k+120k added is 504K which is OVER 500k. They just
rounded.
