Re: QUESTIONS about the TI-86!?!
The ASCII to Hex conversion is NOT an assembler, like what you do with Tasm.
ASCII and Hex are just two ways of storing data in a computer.

TI will release one when they finish it. (They had a beta 83 version a
couple months after the 83 was done).

Relax. Its been out for a week.

Probably.

Probably the same way as on the 83. See #6

Could it be true? An in-calc compiler? Cool. looks like you can type
in your program (ASCII is a character set. Here, it means "written in
plain text"), and run AsmComp, and it'll compile it. Maybe that takes
up the 30k of memory used.
