Too bad to hear that you are leaving the group but the only project I 
was really interested in was the network.  Keep in contact with me or 
put me on a Ti-network mailing list.  either way, keep in contact even 
if you unsubscribe from the list.

>	When I signed onto the list, I expected it to be a place where people 
would share ideas and work together in order to enhance the 
TI-calculators in general, with the "veterans" aiding the less 
experienced.  I had originally been proven correct.
>	However, starting with the release of my specification for the 
TI-Networking protocol, I saw things go to crap pretty quickly.  I have 
posted what might be my last and largest contribution to TI-Hardware at 
www.stuytech.com, which includes a token-ring based technology, since it 
is simpler to implement and can provide a substantial stability and 
speed boost over an Ethernet protocol.  CSMA/CD is just one thing that 
TI-calculators will face with upon handling.

the TI-Hardware mailinglist.

>Wireless modem (based on Ricochet spread-spectrum wireless modem 
released in the summer of '97)
>XI2C based Expander
>TCP/IP stack (possibly using an offboard module, due to the size of the 
protocol)
>direct hardware upgrades (rebuilding the ROM in order to accommodate 
new processors, color screens, etc., while maintaining TI compatibility)
>IR link (simple, link-cable emulating design)
>External CPU add-on (use CBL Get and Send commands in order to tell an 
offboard CPU to process data that the z80 is not capable of)
