eew, we don't want that to happen... I wonder if I/O would be possible with those calcs, or would the databus be unpredictable as well?

Wait, what? ??? For I/O we have the linkport, no?

I think that's what ports are for...

Yes, I mean connecting an external device to receive I/O read/writes from the Z80.  (From the old 83+BE's, of course)

Well, the databus is in an unknown state when an interrupt occurs (because that could happen at any point in an executing program). Of course it will be in a known state when actually doing port outputs and stuff.

The previous generation of programmers say that the TI-83+ leaves whatever was the last value on the bus. Thus, it's effectively random. In my tests, the ASIC models don't seem to do this.

Do you mean newer 83+'s too?

That's something important to check. Do the newer TI-83+s have the other new ports, too?

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.

I know for a fact that the 84+BE has predictable IM2 vectors whereas the 84+SE does not.  This was the major bug I found when I first released Pyoro.

In other news, BrandonW has successfully updated the boot code on his TI-84+ to 1.03, making it think it's a Pocket. :D

Going from 1.03 to 1.02 is equally as easy. 1.03 is defeated in oh-so-many ways.

Very interesting :D

@TI: watch this disaster unfold - you've added a protection, and the result, obtained in short order, is not only complete defeat of the protection, but also, additional insight gained into your calculators (e.g. ports 21, 25, 26). Congratulations ;)

Awesome. =) They should really just give up. After all, the community knows their hardware better than they do.
