I've written a hex viewer in asm on the 83. I haven't added the
command to let you change addresses. The starting address is
hard coded right now and you can scroll up or down through memory.
I'll finish it as soon as I have time.
There isn't anything like Zshell yet. Something is needed but not
very much of Zshell's functionality will be needed. TI has promised
that their published rom addresses won't change in future revisions
and the program always loads at the same address so the program
manager can be a lot simpler.
I think a lot of people might stay with the 85 because it's really
a lot more powerful calculator and it's about the same price. With
Zshell, it handles assembly pretty well.
I wonder if there's going to be an 86 or some such thats an 85 and
supports assembly and has TI's promise of fixed addresses. I wouldn't
be surprised.
By the way, some of the TI assembly documentation for the 83 is
wrong. Their keyboard value chart doesn't have one single key
right. I also haven't been able to access strings from assembly
using their docs, but that might be my interpretation and not
an error. At least that part of the docs are not clear.
