Canada.

EDIT: And... I've bricked it. I think I used the wrong file to update it, I'm supposed to use 2_02_0201_sh4.fls as my calculator was on 02.02.701... dang. Won't turn on or anything. Even tried holding the restart button down with F2, 4, and AC. I assumed from the read me attached that I was supposed to use 2_02_0200_sh3.fls :banghead:

The TI-80 or TI-81( I forget which) lacks getkey as well. Both of the Sharp graphing calcs I have also lack getkey. Aside from that though, their version of BASIC is extremely similar to TI-BASIC.
The 80 lacks getKey. I don't have an 81 so I can't say about that one.

Press [F2]+[4]+[AC/ON]+RESTART at the same time
Release RESTART and continue pressing the remaining keys for a few seconds
Press [9] for a second
Press [X] (multiplication) for a second

This will display the message "OS ERROR" which activates the boot code's emergency OS updater.

Sorry I haven't been able to reply, been rather busy lately IRL. Basically, nothing worked, even the F2+4+AC -> Restart -> 9 -> x. I got another one, and I haven't tried to upgrade the OS, for fear of bricking it again. Thanks for the support, though.

The 80 lacks getKey. I don't have an 81 so I can't say about that one.
The 81 lacks getkey as well, and it even lacks For() and has fewer RAM. However, it's much faster than the TI-80 and it doesn't break as fast.


Also sorry to hear you bricked the first calc Roondak. Hopefully there is a solution to your OS issue.
