Re: Which z80 calculator is the most advanced? Why?

I don't believe this has been mentioned but the two lines of calcs differ in tokenization. On the 83 the tokenization is done as you enter, but the 86 has a text parser. This is an advantage for the 83+ with large program.
Except that you can't use the ti keyboard to write programs on the 83+. In some future world maybe ti might port the text->tokenization code of the 86 to the 83 as maybe an extension to the text editor app (is it called notefolio?)

You know I have no idea where the asm( is located? For one thing, I use mirage. Secondly, asm( is at the beginning of the catalog. Thirdly, if it really bothers you, you could put it into the omnicalc custom menu.
Speaking of custom menus, they're another good thing about the 86. I put the asm( in the F1 position in the custom menu, and all my favorite games right after it. 3 key presses and I'm playing phoenix. This would take at least 5 with mirage (apps, on, 2nd [to open the folder], down [at least once], and 2nd to select the game) and 3 with ION, but plus the time for either shell to load.

I have an 86. Therefore, I'm getting an 89.
The 86 is nice but I need more power for programming, I mean school. I've never used an 83, so I cant say. The 84 will probably be the best by far.

Of the Z80 calcs, yeah, the 84 will beat out all of them except maybe in a couple OS preference areas that the 86 still has, but come out better overall. The 68k calcs are a whole different story, and the 89 Titanium coming out will be the 68k version of the 84... lots of RAM/Flash, faster clock speed, but pretty much the same as the 89 (the 84 is really just a glorified 83, but they already ran out of 83/83+/83+SE designations, so they had to pick a new number). I use an 89 now, so I can leave debates like this behind while I do signal processing calculations without the need of extra software :)

With a USB port, there are endless possibilities.
Hook 4 of them up to a USB hub and have 4-player gaming.
Attach a IEEE802.11b wireless USB adapter and go wardriving, or surf the net.
Attach a USB memory key and have HEAPS of memory - enought to fit ALL the TI83+ ASM programs in ticalc.org's archives - with space left over.
Attach a mouse, keyboard, printer, HDD, external CDROM, external floppy, mp3 player, USB speakers, USB flash card reader, USB graphlink for interface with ALL other TI calculators, USB modem....
