[A89] Re: Newbie alert!
>From what I've read a lot of the problems come from keyboard constants being
changed so there aren't tables for those. There might rom calls who's lookup
address changed also. But honestly, there aren't too many programs that have
problems running on ams 2.03-2.05 and that's what most people will probably
be running. If not then they probably know the risk they run by not running
a previous version. Don't worry about it too much... most of the code you
make won't be rom calls and if it happens that you do make a rom call that
breaks the program then there is probably some incompatibility documentation
somewhere on the net to guide you to make the changes... If it can't be
changed then tell other people they're outta luck unless they change to an
earlier ams and flash your own calc to an earlier version if need be :)
