the difference between the 86 and the 92 is kinda like the difference
between a Commodore 64 and an intel 80386.
ie: MILES away from each other. conversion is going to be more
troublesome than complete rewrites. One of the reasons is that the 86
(In fact, all TI-8x) have a 6Mhz Z80 processor, and the TI-92 has a
Motorola 68k, just like the old macintoshes (called Apple Classic or
something along those lines) and Commodore Amigas.
