Re: A92: great idea
Robot & Rob,
The concept is simple and the program should be easy to make as long as the
two
calculators are running the exactly same version of the TI-92 ROM.
The way to do it is to let calculator 1 (with fargo) send all it's memory to
calculator 2 as it would send
any other backup, and remember while transfering, to include the
fargo-kernel at the correct
place.
Ofcourse this means that calculator 2 would loss whatever it had in it's
memory before the transfer
started but you could always transfer the most importent variables to the
other calculator first,
using VAR-LINK.
This is a project, I've always wanted to do complete - I simply never have
had the time yet :-(
Hope that helped,
Kristian K. Nielsen,

I think it would be very hard :
I have already thought of that before and my conclusions were the
following :
When sending the Fargo backup to a 92, it writes some information
at specific places in your 92's memory, and these places are places
that shouldn't be touch by anything (I mean any prog, or something
else...). So I don't know how you could make a prog on the calc to
tell the other calculator the it should write something in a
non-accessible place of the memory !
(It's hard to say that in english but I hope you understand what I
meant !)
If someone know the method we should use, he must tell us !
