Mode 0 is just the 8080 compatible mode, mode 0 in hardware is much different and impossible through software on the 83+...if only we had the pinout to the asic.

Also, we could do more reverse engineering on the ASIC.

You'd be surprised how much has already been done. I believe we have [nearly] complete schematics for several of the important components.

I'd like mode 0 interrupts/extra i/o ports on the 1999 83+'s.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but in order to have mode 0 interrupts, we'd have to redesign the Ti-83+ HARDWARE.  No software in the world could make use of mode 0 on the current Ti-83+s.

Yes, you would have to have extra hardware, but we should do it to prove our 1337ness.  ;)

I did some tests that suggested that the TI-84+/SE always sends FFh as the byte for IM 2, in which case IM 0 would actually be usable (the ISR would be the RST 38h routine).

Definitely not on TI-83+BE, though

But what would trigger the interrupt in mode 0? It might go somewhere predictable, but would it ever trigger?

It triggers if interrupts are enabled and an interrupt is requested :P

Ah. Sorry, I was confusing IM0 with NMI :-[ (I don't think the hardware ever generates those, right?)

IM0 is when you have an external piece of hardware place an opcode on the Databus to be executed.  It's possible to do on the first 83+ BE's because the z80 is exposed.  I don't know much about the ASIC, so I'm not sure about the later models.

ralphdspam, as DrDnar has said, the TI-84+(SE) seems to put $FF on the databus. ;) (Which would make IM0 equivalent to IM1, it seems)

Why did they do that? Anyways, there would be no point of that on the 84+SE, then. 
I'm talking about applying IM1 to the original 83+BE's.

On those the databus seems unpredictable, IIRC. This means that your calculator will execute some random instruction (and probably crash :P)

Hmm... somebody needs to test IM 2 with TI-83+SE. If it's always 0xFF, then this might be a useful fact for programs meant to run only on 15MHz calcs.
