Re: PROPOSAL: TI-82 "Enhancement" Project



'The commodore' is very misleading...thats like saying 'the IBM' when IBM
makes computers with the x86 and PPC...or 'the apple' which uses aboout 4
different processors.  Commodore made IBM compatibles, "commodore"s, VICs,
all of which used (mostly) different processors.

The Z80 is a 8080 clone...why doesn't someone try to find an os for the
8080 and port the kbd and lcd routines?
