So does this mean there are no calcs with the viewscreen port that were made recently?

Spoiler For funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*

Darl, it's hardware stuff, and since the ports being read are never modified by other programs, it shouldn't.

My calculator does not have a ViewScreen port. Otherwise, it seems to be pretty much the same.
My bad, another example that shows how far intuition can sometimes suck =]

Quote from: ztrumpet on July 11, 2011, 11:18:29 am

Interesting deduction, since calcs with a vs port all seem to have been released around year 2004.

That would mean port 3A is related to another specific hardware piece, which was assembled during that time.
Anyone has an idea what this could be ?

EDIT :

@thepenguin77 : Thx for the wiki addition =]

Now, some other leads :
- port 15 (83+BE|SE) : All the models tested read 00 except mine (15), which boot sector is locked, according to dnar. This port may then have something to do with boot sector protection status on 83+ models.
- port 3A (84+BE|SE) : After having taken another look at the different results, there's a possibility the LS nibble of this port may also be related to the usb driver revision (seem to return 0F only when port 15 returns 44).

Probably wrong. The boot sector protection for your TI-83+ is solved. It's implemented in the flash chip, and can only be temporarily undone with a 12 V power source applied to the right pin. The value read from port 15 has no meaning or is unreleated. Newer models have completely different hardware; your unit has a separate Z80, whereas the newer units have the Z80 integrated into the ASIC. On those units, the bus is internal to the ASIC and tends to read 0 for ports with no function. It's possible that port 15 affects the boot sector protection on newer units, but it's unrelated to the fact that yours reads 15.

Art_of_camelot: an easy way to tell if the lcd driver has delay issues is to use Fred Lionetti's Donkey Kong (DK5MOS on ticalc). the splash screen will let you know immediately if there are any issues.


i can't seem to find my newer 83+... anyways, here are a few:
    * 1. TI-84+SE with zstart modded certificate
    * 2. S-0806F
    * 3. yes. driver setting 12. port 29:00110000 port port 2A:00100111
    * 4. Version #2
    * 5. Do you have the full 128 K of RAM? Yes.
    * 6. The value in port 15: 45
    * 7. The value in port 3A: 00
    * 8. ID's: 01C4
    * 9. P?: all 00

    * 1. TI-84+
    * 2. S-0805C
    * 3. yes. driver setting 8. port 29:00100000 port 2A:00100111
    * 4. Version #2
    * 5. Do you have the full 128 K of RAM? Yes.
    * 6. The value in port 15: 45
    * 7. The value in port 3A: 00
    * 8. ID's 04DA
    * 9. P?: all 00

    * 1. TI-84+ on which 15 rows of the LCD have failed.
    * 2. K-04090
    * 3. No LCD delay issues, at least :P
    * 4. Version #2
    * 5. Do you have the full 128 K of RAM? indecipherable (these pixels are dead
    * 6. indecipherable (these pixels are dead)
    * 7. The value in port 3A: 00
    * 8. ID's C2DA
    * 9. P?: all 00

    * 1. TI-83+
    * 2. N-0405G
    * 3. No LCD issues.
    * 4. Version #2 the program crashed the first time i ran it, for some reason...
    * 6. The value in port 15: 75
    * 8. ID's C223
    * 9. P? 0000FE

Interesting...

Boot sector seem to be locked on 83+BEs until 2004 (at least).
Also, looks like 83+SEs can have another kind of fujitsu chip (040C). > typo confirmed

EDIT : Since i wasn't sure, tested DK5MOS.8XP on my I-0299A and the splash screen is displayed properly. My bad. Feel free to update the data chart (lcd=good).

Art_of_camelot, please recheck the results for the TI-83+SE. In particular, are you sure that 040C isn't a typo?
