RE: TI-H: universal calc issues



well, it would not work for the ti-92 : it uses an MC8000 instead of Z80 chipset (I may be wrong) you would be able to recompile to run on the MC8000 chipset, but then again, it kind of defeats the whole purpose :)

Subject:	TI-H: universal calc issues

I'm working on XCalc, an OS to run the entire link-enabled TI8x series.  It will include a universal code system that will eliminate the need for recompilation of binaries for each calc, and will hopefully be a bit smaller than usgard.  I need recommendations as to what users want, and you guys represent the largest pool of calc-savvy people.  Any recommendations will be taken quite seriously.
	The bytecode issue involves using only z80 opcodes and library calls, and we might toss in program relocation in order to facilitate the system.  To top it all off, I would like to include an X*nder psuedo-loader with some level of intelligence.  
	Before you all laugh, there are 4 of us working on this, so it might be do-able.
Thanks,
