Initial Calculator State
« on: September 14, 2010, 05:28:43 pm »
Hello,
What state does the calculator start in?  What is the memory layout, the LCD settings, etc?

It'd be best to assume it's in an undefined state and set everything to definite values, at least IMO :)

Oh, I thought this was in relation to making an OS :)
Undefined for regs, $0000 for PC, $0000 for SP (I think), IM 0, most other things should be zero'd, too, but I'm not sure ;D

Okay.  Perhaps someone can shed more light on this?
