Both, you can store anything you want in a ram chip, more games, or
programs, more data, more graphs, anything! The gaming possibilities I must
admit are the best ones, but as programmers we should appreciate that. What
if you had one chip w/ ion, and one w/ ashell? Or, what if you where really
into pics? Want more than ten without a special utility? You got it! But of
course, I have no idea how this would work out. We would need a rom chip w/
the same configuration as the ram, and it might require drastic changes to
the calc, perhaps too drastic to make it worth while, who knows. Anyway, I
bet there are plenty of people in the TI community that would be interested
in this.
