RE: TI-H: 92/89
If ZShell and fargo could be created, I'm sure an 89 buyer will figure out how to update the OS. As for the 92+, that's going to be a mixed blessing, because now Fargo programs have to be redone, or someone will have to write up a support program, most likely.
And the SP Interface is CPU independent, it's just a different set of physical connections to the crappy link port. It can actually be done to any device with a similar link port, not just the TI 8x series, but also (maybe) the casio calcs.

the 92+ has built in ASM supportm so you don't need to waste any extra
ram on a shell!
i doubt they will evey update the os to include geometry just becase
then no one would have a reason to but a 92 except for bigger lcd and
better keys.
the spin interface will probably have to be different as well, but i am
not sure, because i am no ti HW guru, just because it uses a different
processor. (donno if that is correct or not)

Since the 89 has built in ASM support as well as being in an acceptable package, it's hitting the HP48 edge (although still light years behind)
