Calculadora
Posted by vladimir_l [send private reply] at July 13, 2002, 09:21:22 AM
I am thinking of purchasing a Ti calulator just for the fun of playing around with assembly on it , but I have been significantly puzzled by the ti wbsite so I just had to ask a few questions.
Which is the best calulator to make assembly programs on and which ones support it ? -Vlad

Surely the best ones to make assembly programs on support it?

You can write assembly programs for everything with a number greater than or equal to 82. Unless TI has changed their offerings since I was into this, the 86 is your best choice for a Z80 processor, and the 89 or 91 for m68k.

Thanks , the 86 seems very impressive and I think thats what I am going to get. Unofrtunately they are very rare brand new here in England so I might buy on on an auction somewhere.
-Thanks -Vlad

The 83 or 83+ is significantly cheaper and, with the help of a computer link cable, just as easy

The 83 is what I use when I'm bord at school.

I don't think the 83 has as much memory. (Which doubles as "RAM" and "hard drive" in terms of PC roles)

The 83+ SE has the same limited RAM of the 83+ (24K, the 83 has 28K), but has something like 1.5MB of flash. I think the real question is why the hell did they give it 1.5MB of flash but not more RAM (not having a lot of RAM on the calc is a bit of a problem...). I wish they would release a z80 based calc with a decent amount of ram and flash (merely because the m68k ones are really expensive).

DEFINATELY choose the 86 or 89. The TI-89 actually has an IDE that supports writing calculator programs in C (which is why I like it)! However, I've found the 86 to be the calculator with the most and best IDE's available to use, and best support for learning and applying asm programs (especially sprite techniques). But most of the calculators (if I remember correctly) run the Z80 processor, so just programming strictly for the Z80 should suffice for any calculator using it right? Someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

You can develop programs in C for the 83(+/SE) and the 86 too. Just use z88dk (http://z88dk.sf.net). I think you can develop flash apps with them (if you sign them with the appsign tool from TI), but wasn't able to get that to work.

Psion, didn't you write some sort of TI calc C?
Posted by Psion [send private reply] at July 13, 2002, 09:58:14 PM
Yes

NEAT!

I have a TI85+ and I find it works great in terms of support for assembly programs, but as I've never used any of the other models I have no frame of reference ;)
