Hmmm... your first question about FAQs is particularly hard to answer.
There are many FAQs for this newsgroup.


Here's a list:


Jordan Adema's Calc-TI Mini-FAQ
<URL: http://www.ticalc.org/pub/text/calc-ti_minifaq.txt>


The Unofficial Calc-TI newsgroup FAQ, maintained (or lack thereof) by
Shawn Jordan  -- dated
<URL: http://www.ticalc.org/pub/text/calc-ti_unfaq.txt>


The Official Calc-TI/Graph-TI FAQ, maintained by Texas Instruments
<URL: ftp://archive.ppp.ti.com/pub/graph-ti/faq>


My favorite, maintained by Mattias Lindqvist,
can be found at <URL: http://www.efd.lth.se/~d96mli/tifaq.txt>. It's
the latest one (just released Sept. 10) and covers quite
a bit information. A great job!


Question #2:


I believe there's a version of ZPONG out that has sound effects...
but anyway, the most interesting application is a program called
PLAYWAV, which can be found at
<URL: http://www.ticalc.org/pub/85/zshell/programs/playwav.zip>. It
allows you to play converted WAV files on your TI-85!


Question #3:
Progress on the SSHD has been slow; there was a recent thread
about this on LZ, but most of the posts quickly settled down to
a discussion of how to make a fake ~50k variable on your 85...


The most promising advance has been made by Mel Tsai; you
can find his plans for extending the 85's limited memory at
<URL: http://www.ticalc.org/tech/expand1b.zip>.


Hope this helps! Be sure to check out the most comprehensive
TI web site ever, <URL: http://www.ticalc.org>.
