Is it me or are they less experienced with their old z80 line than the Nspire? x.x

Besides, the Z80 documentation they ask SirCpwn to download has typos in it.

I think it's just their trying to make money.  I'm sure when the Z80 calculators came out, there were very few people at TI who could not handle those kinds of questions.  Now that the Nspire is out, they probably focus more on that, and the people who were experts at the z80 are left to other jobs.

*SirCmpwn :P

Also, I know for a fact that a Word document on their servers somewhere contains information about these ports.

Actually, it's not rightfully ours, and that would be illegal.  Discontinue posts of this sort.  Don't make me get all moderator on your ass.

Well said SirCnmpw. Netham45 eats people so illegal stuff or suggestion of illegal activities should probably be avoided.

Sorry happybobjr, it was a joke, although that kind of content would not be allowed here.
I also realized that this is the "Misspell SirCmpwn Thread"

I could start a real thread dedicated to that. After all, we managed to convince someone to change his nickname with such things in the past ;D (Simplethinker on IRC)

Anyway I agree we need to try to be careful what kind of content we post.

ok so I just got the latest word in from ti.. basically they will forward it to the dev team. here's the whole line of conversation:
edit: haha that guys good.. 'i have no idea'.
Quote
Jacob,

Thank you for your reply.

This e-mail has also been forwarded to the TI-Nspire family developers. As for why assembly language programming was nixed from the TI-Nspire family handheld, I have no idea but I will be sure and ask for you.

Warmest Regards,

Doug Fincher

ok thanks! Also, i was wandering how come native assembly isn't supported on the nspire? Is it going to be supported in the future at all? I would like to suggest also to support native assembly just like all the other calculator's do. Also, another suggestion. Would it be possible to suggest a ti-89 keypad for the ti-nspire cas clickpad/touchpad (I have the touchpad). Thanks again!

> With the release of the TI-Nspire family handheld, the main goal was to develop new technology so the programming development of the handheld was limited. With the release of OS 1.7 and 2.0, some programming features were added but again, the main focus was updating the existing applications (Calculator, Graphs, Lists and Spreadsheet, etc).
>
> In my opinion, it seems as if the programming development of the handheld has taken a "backseat". With that said, I will forward this e-mail to the TI-Nspire family developers as a suggestion for future operating system updates and to let them know that there are customers out there looking for more programming functionality.

> > These are very good questions you have about programming the TI-Nspire handheld. Currently, the TI-Nspire family handheld lacks the full range of programming functions found on our other graphing calculators (this also includes the getkey command you were inquiring about). As the TI-Nspire family handheld operating system is periodically updated, more and more of the standard TI BASIC functions will be added to the OS. I regret any inconvenience this may cause you.
