Re: TI Web page update: TI-92 PLUS (US)



The user data archive is Flash memory, not RAM... It gives you 384K of Flash
to store stuff in. Note, however, Flash memory loses storage areas as it is
used. After 1,000+ writes, Flash might lose a few bytes of space hear and
there as data cells become unusable. You can read unlimited times from
Flash, though. That is why they call it an archive. You should just have
some programs you always need in there, not things that change a lot because
it will where out the Flash. Also, the good thing about this 384K of Flash
is that even when your calc locks up and clears your RAM, all your stuff in
Flash will still be there!!

I also have a question. Does anyone know if the 92Plus runs Fargo?? The FAQ
on TI's site says the Plus module directly supports assembly language...
does that mean everything will have to re-assembled to work with it?? It
mentions ASM at: http://www.ti.com/calc/docs/faq/92pfaq004.htm

Thanks
Richard
