Those are Torx (tm) screws.  TI started using them instead of
the standard phillips screws recently.  You can get drivers/bits
from any hardware store.  Be sure to get the smaller ones
though, those screws are smaller than they might look at first.

As for fitting them in cases, the TI-89 will not work in the 83's
case because the 83 has the recessed screen, which would
not work with the 89's flat single-board.  The 89 will however
fit perfectly in the 83+'s case because it IS the 83+'s case.
Just with a different paint job.
