Nice to see you again LordConipuiter I wondered where you went

OK so i have some ideas  
If i say anything thats already been said im sorry. Im in class and dont have time to read the whole thread.

Anyway heres what i came up with:
Ability to interface with a variety of USB devices like cell phones, flash drives, and cameras, as well as the ability to explore, move, cut, copy, and paste files on a linked computer from the calc (to make transferring files faster and easier). Maybe support for third party drivers to interface with unsupported devices (like touch screens and mice)

Ability to boot into the command line and maybe unload the current shell and go to the command line by using a key combo (such as ON+Clear)

Support for multiple shells or "distributions" to be on the device, and a boot loader that starts on cold boot to select which one you want to use.

Networking!!


And for software:
A text editor like Notepad that allows you to save into any file type, and open the saved files in their default programs.

An integrated editor for a scripting language (such as a more fully featured version of TI Basic) and an Axe editor built in that allows you to debug and step through programs, and each different editor with its own CATALOG.

Maybe an assembler? something simple like an assembler where programs are written in a text editor and assembled with a command line program and something like a Mimas port available for download

Some kind of command line program.

And (yes this one is far fetched) maybe a text based web browser like Links

Just a few ideas  

EDIT: Redundancy fixed lol

As for the assembler, I believe Sir's going to make a version of Mosaic (the on-calc assembler he's working on) for KnightOS. I could be wrong, though.

1) USB support is planned, though maybe not for all the devices you mentioned.  I'll look into the feasibility of exploring a computer's contents.
2) Planned, and partially implemented.
3) Planned and it is being coded to allow this to work
4) KermM has offered to attempt porting CalcNet
5) Planned
6) Still on the fence about this, I think something like this may be best left up to 3rd party developers.  Quigibo has expressed interest in porting Axe.
7) I plan on porting Mosaic
8) Planned, partially implemented
9) If KermM ever sends me that link cable, I'm going to try to write a WiFi driver, and will port it to KnightOS if I'm successful.

You are aware that the TI-82.stats.fr (The most commonly used calculators in France) and TI-76.stats.fr have flash memory of 512 KB which is normally ignored by an OS designed for TI-83 (or TI- 82.stats). I was wondering .. why not an Knight OS porting for these two types of calculators (Maybe there are calculators equivalent in countries other than France?).
What do you think?

Wait - seriously?  Most of these things are actually feasible?  Wow.  That's amazing.  If you could incorporate some kind of web browser, that would be totally win.  

What is signing keys?

Critor2000 is more expert, ask him what he thinks.
