Re: Viruses?
I think there IS one section of memory on the those calcs that can't be
overwritten by Flash rom -- and that's the flash rom routines themselves, so
you can always download the correct rom from TI's site. Besides, there's no
point in downloading any flash rom other than TI's, because A)It would take
years (?) for someone to write their own rom, and B)It's illegal to take
TI's rom and modify it (athough that would be the best way to make a shell).
And if anyone DID download an unsupported rom that kills their calc, it's
their fault. . .
