Re: TI-H: Re:
Everything in the TI-Calc hasn't been documented. The only way you'd get
true experience is if you re-wrote the TI-OS.
All your learning is how to program hardware thats already been made.
Kinda like those little basic chips. And since its a calculator, its not
like its going to do anything that requires heavy fast processing. The AVR
at 16MHz is close to 8x the speed of the TI calc.
