Re: TI-H: TI Tokenized Networking technology, and farewell
Too bad to hear that you are leaving the group but the only project I
was really interested in was the network. Keep in contact with me or
put me on a Ti-network mailing list. either way, keep in contact even
if you unsubscribe from the list.

serious degradation in the attitude of this hobby.

would share ideas and work together in order to enhance the
TI-calculators in general, with the "veterans" aiding the less
experienced. I had originally been proven correct.

TI-Networking protocol, I saw things go to crap pretty quickly. I have
posted what might be my last and largest contribution to TI-Hardware at
www.stuytech.com, which includes a token-ring based technology, since it
is simpler to implement and can provide a substantial stability and
speed boost over an Ethernet protocol. CSMA/CD is just one thing that
TI-calculators will face with upon handling.

the TI-Hardware mailinglist.

>Wireless modem (based on Ricochet spread-spectrum wireless modem
released in the summer of '97)
>XI2C based Expander
>TCP/IP stack (possibly using an offboard module, due to the size of the
protocol)
>direct hardware upgrades (rebuilding the ROM in order to accommodate
new processors, color screens, etc., while maintaining TI compatibility)
>IR link (simple, link-cable emulating design)
>External CPU add-on (use CBL Get and Send commands in order to tell an
offboard CPU to process data that the z80 is not capable of)
