A89: Re: Why is 89 so unstable?




I had the same problems, too... after a week of crashing my calc... I
downgraded to ROM 1.00 from
http://alh.dhs.org/ti89
and now I can happily play games in Math class...

Also, I dont' know about this... but I was browsing the files at
ticalc.org... somewhere, under I think DOS... there was a util to convert
ASM progs so that they work under ROM v1.05  I haven't tried it, since I've
got v1.00 now... but it might be worth a shot if you don't want to
downgrade... and don't mind the possibility of crashing yet once more....
