I can't be more sure, I've copy-pasted it in TI-Graph Link and just to be sure I've also type it by hand.

And it sure says 69 (it's an old TI 84+ SE, I got it in 2006 if I remenber correctly, and I'm using OS 2.55MP).

But now with this new test it seems ok (no RAM cleared or AAARGH!, it just quits when I press Clear).

My 84+SE (84/128) works fine with the second test, now. What is the purpose of using im 0? Does it have any practical use? Also, is it properly emulated by emulators?

Quote
Interrupt Mode 0

When an interrupt is requested, the Z80 reads a byte from the data bus and executes it. This can be a single-byte instruction or the start of a multi-byte instruction; for speed reasons commonly RST $nn is used to start processing an interrupt handler due to it's compact encoding.

If no external device is driving the bus, the Z80 will read a garbage value. In systems with pull-up or pull-down resistors on the bus, the value read will be $FF (RST $38) or $00 (NOP) respectively.

As far as I know, no emulators emulate this quirk. IM 0 is useless, because the TA3 appears to have pull-up resistors and consequently functions exactly like IM 1. Anyway, here's a new test, one that isn't broken and WON'T CLEAR RAM.
EDIT: There was a typo on the line below that I put spaces into. It read ED5E when it should have read ED56. The assembly listing below had the right hex codes; I made a mistake while copying. This could error cause it to crash or print AAARGH on exit.

isr_end:This will show garbage on the left side of your screen until you press ON, unless it first says AAARGH! Once again, this has been specifically coded not to clear your RAM. It very carefully differentiates between FF and not FF.

For me (84+SE: 84/128) it fills up the left side of the screen and then prints AAARGH! I've attached a .8xp file for anyone who doesn't feel like typing all that into the calc and probably typing it in incorrectly ;)

EDIT: And i assumed the "inc a,(4)" was supposed to be "in a,(4)"

Well, this new test says "AAARGH!" now... Strange :/

AAARGH! It doesn't do that to me. Mine's a TA3 (port 15=69d/45h).

Also, you're right chickendude about the typo. The hex code by that instruction, however, is correct. Unfortunately, there was a different error in the hex codes; see above for the correction.

on the first one, I got 85 and 128. on the second one, I did not get AARGH or anything. it just exited quietly.

When I get home, I'll send them to my calculator and give you information! I'm excited :) I don't like copying all the code. :P

TI-84 Plus (non SE), rev G, TA3 chip (confirmed by actual inscription on hardware).
First test : 69/128
Second (chickendude's 8xp) : Garbage on the left then argh.
Second (pasted the code in your last post in SourceCoder) : same.

When I fix my 83+ SE I'll tell you what it gives. ;)

I'm retracting my claims about IM 2. I ported the program to my new TI-84+CSE (which has the same ASIC) and it AAARGHs!s.

Sorry for the semi-necropost.  What exactly is this for?
