Apcalc,  have you answered to the TI-Cares email?

It would be great if we could get an OS signed by the developer keys...

I responded to it Friday night.  I have not gotten a response yet, but TI does not work on Friday-Sunday, so I was not really expecting a response.  Hopefully, I will get one tomorrow! :)

I know, I just wanted to know.
Thank you very much.

Good news! TI-France warned about potential prototypes on Ebay on their Facebook page. They recommend to not buy them (although unfortunately sometimes you can't get any proof that it's not one). They also state they cannot be upgraded. At least they did something good, for once, I guess. :P

Now, seems that they giving away some developer signed OS is not as a remote idea as I thought before.


Let's see. >_> But if they spied this topic, they will make sure to not reply to apcalc. joking a bit

Well, it would be the perfect addition to the next ticalc.org CD! ;)


In should note, in response to above saying that there may be a remote chance of getting this OS, there is not.  I forgot to post the responses to the other e-mails I made for critor.  To summarize, they will kindly replace my calculator for a 80 dollar fee, and they will not send out a developer OS because TI does not officially support the prototypes. :(

I would not send it back.  Think of what all we could use this for.  We could test USB from boot1!

Do you think I'm stupid enough to pay in order to get a less interesting Nspire ? :P

Even if they wanted to pay, I would not send it back to them.

So, what are they plans for this DevSpire?

Well... except bricking the calculator, I cannot do anything without a 1.1 developer OS.
(1.0 OSes are using different TNC formats and usb protocols...)

A week after TI-Bank! :P
And TI-Bank's infos about how to identify a prototype are more accurate, including pictures too (the "prototype not for sale" label which TI-France mentions sometimes comes on a sticker... you just have to remove it :P ... and we got the proof not all prototypes were labelled as "CAS+"...)

Amazing!!!
I have seen this sign before!!!
I have been to the Agent of TI in China on the day that OS 2.1 was released, and I saw this sign on their NSpire CAS (Clickpad). It seemed that they were using that NSpire to test OS 2.1 before it was release. [You know OS 2.1 firstly supports Chinese]
When I asked them what that square mean, they didn't say very clearly. They said I can filling for TI to get a "key". I didn't know what that meant then. But later, when I talked about this question again these days, they said it was the sign of the TI-Navigator. Absolutely, it's impossible!
Sorry for my bad English... I just think that maybe it's for testing.

Cool~
I called TI Agent in China just now.
I said:
I bought an NSpire CAS from foreign site and it costs 100+
There is a square on the left top... I can't install any of the OS.
Then they recognized that it was a development version and it should use special development OS.
I asked for that OS, but he don't agree to give me one...
Of course, it's a special internal version.
