TI-89 and AMS 2.03
I posted this to the comment board on the AMS v2.03 support for the 92 in
relation to this new version of software and the HW 2 89 calculators and was
wondering if anyone could be of aid here (sorry to bombard everyone; I just
want to be an educated buyer (no pun intended):
OK, so I'm well aware of this Hardware 2 thing and the new AMS 2.03. I've
visited TI's site and saw their FAQ entry about Hardware 1 vs. Hardware 2
but I want someone's perspective on this and not merely comparing specs.; is
there a noticeable difference? And if I buy a HW 2 89, what sacrifices
might I be looking at if I flash it to 2.03? What losses will I see?
I primarily use BASIC programs over ASM programs and am wondering about how
easy it is to run BASIC programs too. I have an 86 already and I can run
programs by using the PRGM key and selecting the desired program from a
menu. You can do something similar on the 89, right (for BASIC programs)?
What's the deal with program()? Is that for running ASM programs on a
TI-89?
I don't really need or care about greyscale at the moment but what's the
worst case scenario for anything related to the TI 89 with HW 1 & 2 and AMS
2.03 and the differences between the two at that point? What limitations
will I have to put up with? What limitations exist there?
I'm sorry if I sound like a mindless idiot, babbling and ranting, but a
calculator purchase of about $130-$150 isn't my idea of a cheap mistake and
I want to be sure that I know what I'm getting myself into and be prepared
for any possible issues in the future.
I'm very thankful for any replies you might have to offer about this and
apologise for any negligence on my part in further investigating this
matter; until I finally gained interest and the desire to want to purchase
an 89, I didn't pay much attention to this stuff so I'm just now beginning
to pay attention to these issues.
