[alot of info deleted]
>From what i have heard the ti82 and ti83 is very much a like, and based
on the
info from ti and the ti83 I do not think the it is impossible to make a
zshell
for he ti82.
Most of the basic things in the rom is the same in the ti83 and the
ti85, so i
would expect it to be true in the ti82 too. Since all the calculators
uses almost
the same format for floating point number, i do not think stoing a value
like
E145 in a real would be any problem.
The limited number of variables should not be a problem, all we need is
a real
and a string/program which can be used to stor a long program.
So the ti82 might be hard to use, but i can not see why this should make
an asm
shell impossible. A lot of people uses the ti82, so i think that a
zshell for
the ti82 would be great. If we got a shell working i think that a lot
more
people would start programming in asm , which would give us more
programs.
besides that it is a great challenge to "crack" the ti82 system and get
some asm
runing. I will certainly try to get acces to an ti82 so i can try out
some of this.
