I'm not surprised. This happened between my TI-86 and my friend's 86.
[2ND][MODE][ALPHA][S] gave me the final understanding. check your rom
versions. One of you may have 1.2, and the other 1.3. Even though they
are different, it SHOULD work from 1.2 to 1.3, but vice versa, I'm not
sure (actually i tried and it didn't work).
