Fargo.

1. A TI-92 with a ROM version between 1.2 and 1.12, inclusive. (Fargo II
will also support ROM 2.1 and any ROM versions that may follow it.)
2. A computer, TI-92 linking software that runs on the computer, and a link
cable that is supported by the software. The software must be capable of
sending 92B backup files. (At some point I will write a calc-to-calc
transfer program; when that is done, this requirement will also be
satisfiable by any second TI-92 that has Fargo installed, along with the
transfer program.)
>Who wrote "shellname"?
The short answer is, David Ellsworth.
Dan Eble provided groundwork by compiling a set of text files which
summarized his reverse engineering efforts. He had borrowed a TI-92 from
TI, and during that time made a dump of its ROM. Following that he teamed
up with Rob Taylor to cowrite a 68000 disassembler, then used it to analyze
the ROM dump.
Working independently, David Ellsworth discovered a method to run machine
code on the TI-92. Following that he teamed up with Dan and Rob, and they
shared information and ideas. When sufficient information had been found,
David proceeded to design and implement Fargo.
>Is there a "shellname" home page?
Yes. http://www.ticalc.org/home/fargo/
>What is the current version of "shellname?
Fargo 0.1.13 (released January 2, 1997), with the masked ROM fix (posted
February 26, 1997).
