Yeah I meant implemented by default though lol. That said (off-topic): I wonder if that United-TI hosted copy of Omnicalc for MP OSes is available anywhere else? Because now that UTI merged with Cemetech, all attachments are gone...

I wrote that. Here it is again.

I never got enough feedback to feel comfortable posting an official release. It also doesn't work with zStart, because zStart has Omnicalc entry points hard coded into it. That's thepenguin's fault.

The difference between me and Kerm is that I would add a jump table for him if he asked.

You don't know how happy it makes me to hear that there is a z80 in there.

Here's something bad to consider: as long as they're completely reworking the ASIC, they might as well remove the ability to unlock the boot code. No doubt, with great color comes great restrictions on programmer freedom. But that's why we have people like BrandonW. We are firing up our oscilloscopes! We are reading our disassemblers! Native code! will! be! ours!

Humm, just to know, what would the point of downgrading be, if the modified 2.55MP is the only one availalble for this model anyway ? (since it has to handle the new hardware etc.)

But I still think it'll actually turn out to be an Nspire in disguise.

I have speicifically asked that, and they said they actually considered that at first, but they didn't go that way.
As I've been told, you'll be able to see that when you open it
Anyway, it's a real z80

I don't know about RAM/ROM or anything else very technical, I'll see if I can get these kind of details.
But anyway, everything should be known by mid-january.

Thanks for the clarification. And yeah as DrDnar said the processor is inside the ASIC. Glad to hear that the calc will have a Z80, though.

I'm curious about the LCD.  Is it supposed to use a color palette or individually-controlled RGB pixels?  I'm a little skeptical that you could get good performance either way - and I'm even more skeptical that TI could pull it off (these are the same people who brought us MathPrint.)
