i don't believe that'll result in a production nspire, maybe someone disassembled it's nspire and mixed up with a computer motherboard to do some experiments...

The author answered me.

It seems to be a development board intermediate between the CAS+ and the ClickPad.

I've found out more things about this "big prototype" thanks to the author.

Everything I know is now available here:

is there any way to connect an sd card to the nspire? :p maybe embedding a microSD reader, that'd be great....

There were many signs in the Nspire OS that an SD card reader was planned:
- a hidden "sd" folder
- several messages mentionning "sd/mmc" in the diagnostics software

Now with this photo, we get the proof.


The question now is:
- did TI totally remove that SD card reader?
- or did TI make it "external" through the dock connector?

anyway it would be awesome if someone could make an sd card reader working fine. I remembered about 5 years ago in my math classroom during high school almost everyone had casio's calcs with SD card support. And I had a TI-83 without any cable to connect anywhere. Now I'm in university and got a nspire CAS touchpad and still much less memory than the older casio ones because of the non-existance of the SD reader...

Back in those times, I loved my TI-83. I could do anything my imagination alowed with that. And now I'm stuck with this supposed high-end calc (the CX was annouced 20 days after I bought this).

That was the original plan for the Nspire, but then TI realized that teachers couldn't fit thirty of those into a car (they didn't care that that wouldn't fit into a student's backpack) so they went back to the drawing board (Which they never erased) and came up with the wings we have today.

Knowing TI, they probably made it separate and are planning to try to sell it later. :P

Oh, and the big one has a screen that actually functions!
And takes >9000ms to display anything, else you get rickrolled.

We'll end up making our own hardware hack to use it if its possible. I will probably cost <1/9000 of what TI would want us to pay

Very strange. I wonder how and where the owner of this prototype managed to get his hands on it.
