The simple answer is that you can't
OS-85/ZSHELL/USGARD/SUPERNOVA/OShell-85/Whatever other Asm shell for
the 85 currently does not, and will never work on the ti-86. Well,
i'll take that back. After some really big fat research, you might be
able to convert 85 asm to 86 asm, with lots of modication on top.
Until more knowledge becomes available about rom locations on the
ti86, not that many games are going to be available for the ti86
(also, it's a new calc.. takes a while.)
