If TI really discontinues the 84+SE, do you think that the ROM will be available for download?

put it in code, can't search.  but I'm not telling you where it is really...  but I'll removed it if a mod says so, for now, I'm keeping it in code.

Why'd you ask, though? The ROM isn't available for download now either, anyway, because it's illegal. Except for the OS, which TI will almost definitely take off their website.

I thought the ROM is the same thing as the OS.

Actually, the ROM is basically a copy of the entire flash memory of the calculator. In other words, it's the flash ROM converted to a file.

An OS, on the other hand, is the operating system (as you know). They are interchangeable in some ways, since the OS is in ROM (like seven pages or something, I'm not sure).

Here's the response I got:
Quote
Zach,

Thank you for your reply.

I regret my previous response to you was incorrect. My response should have been the following:

TI Education Technology in the US and Canada, as well as many other regions, will continue to sell both the TI-84 Plus and TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. The TI-84 Plus Silver Edition is an important part of our product offering and we will continue to update and support this product.

Sales and marketing in all regions continually review product offerings to ensure they are meeting the needs of their markets. We currently sell products in Europe to meet specific country retail and educational markets. TI has products available in the US that are not sold in Europe, because they are not the best products to meet the specific country needs. In that vein, TI Education Technology Europe has phased out the TI-84 Plus Silver edition in those select markets.

I hope that you find this information helpful. If you have further questions or comments, please feel free to send me an email.

Warmest regards,

Jo Henderson

OOOOVvvVVVeeRRReeAAAcccTTiiiIIIvvVVeeeEE! Who was doing that :P ? Well... Tell a community of calculator geeks that the most hackable calculator and widely popular throughout all the calculator communitys ever to exist is being discontinued by the manufacturer and what do you get? Another Voyage 200 epidemic?

Thanks for the comments guys. :)

I know these differences... but I thought TI allows you to download the OS file from their education website. It is just the OS and not a complete ROM... correct? At least that's what I thought the TI-89 OS files were. And those OS files work just fine on the TI-89 & TI-92+ as well as VTI. So... I guess I'm wondering why we need an entire ROM to work with the emulators.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Part of the 83/84+(SE)'s software is not part of the OS, and is used by the calculator. This code is why ROM's cannot legally be exchanged.
On the other hand, while the 68k calcs have similar code, the OS does not use it, while the 83+ Series calcs do.

Ahhh... I see... That was the missing link I needed. Thanks!

Well, then I guess TI is just discontinuing the calcs in selected markets. Initially, what the international pages said indicated that it was worldwide, though. It wasn't very clear.
