I see. Also I noticed that when removing all 5 batteries, if they're put back in immediately the RAM remains intact. (I tried)

That would, I think be because the capacitors had not had time to fully drain. It might corrupt some memory, though, so be careful. Of course, my thought is worthless if I'm wrong on how that particular RAM functions  :P

Yes!  This is great news!  Think of all of the possibilities for the un-TI'd calculator! :D

I just a got Walmart calculator today. It came with 1.03. So, TI is definitely shipping 1.03 for the new school year.

Also, TI is trying to get a Z80 to do 2048 encryption? That . . . is ridiculous. Just . . . as ridiculous as possible. Let's one-up them and make a boot code that verifies the OS with a 4096-bit key. That'll probably take 2 hours to validate.

According to Brandon, we have one for emulators already.

Wow so TI was really determined into getting people stuck with 2.55MP.

But 2048 bit encryption? O.O Did they really do it? O.O

Nothing like wasting half our batteries invalidating the OS.

So that's why the new boot code takes so long to validate the OS now? Personally I already found the OS taking long enough to send on a calc. Now imagine with that new calc boot code...

I hope they do not update the 83+ with it. It takes 15-20 minutes to send an OS to it with a serial cable. Now imagine with the new boot code: 30-40 minutes?

Nice. Never thought this would be possible, although the pictures on datamath made me wonder why the pages were different. But 2048 bit on a little 8/16 bit cpu, TI is getting desperate if it's true. Unless TI decided to make yet another hardware variation, boot code 1.03 is useless  :evillaugh:

EDIT:
Did TI properly protect flash on the 83+SE?

Somebody should lock this thread before TI notices and actually does change things again.
