INTRODUCTION
The TI-92 Plus was available as both a standalone calculator and a module upgrade to the TI-92. It added additional memory, flash-upgradable ROM, and advanced mathematics software. A TI-92 Plus is functionally almost identical to a TI-89. The Voyage 200 has since replaced the TI-92 Plus, since it offers additional features.
