we can have a double power switch.
one on side controls if one on inside will respond to anything

i would love to test for you.
note:
1.i will use an emulator if there is a chance that it will completely destroy my calc.
2. As long as there is no chance of bricking, i will be glad to use my 84+ SE if it is compatible.

what does imo stand for?
ok, lets not all fuss about the compatibility with the ti programs.
Conversion programs will almost without doubt come into fruition, from ti to kos.
either on calc or on computer.
on calc.
Axe is a big inspiration to newer calc owners. So we MUST be able to put it on and adjust the outcome to kos.
on computer.
Remember this is more than a calculator. We still need to be able to transfer info from a computer onto a calc.
So we shall need a linking program on windows and/or mac's and/or Linux's
Side note: Shall we set up our own ticalc.org type of website for archives? or shall we just use omnimaga and ticalc?
personally i am for a whole new site, and put on both the new and onto ticalc.

And you guys are missing my point. We can do a bigger screen, assuming we just enlarge pixels.
But you still have 2 things to consider:
1) Teacher/student friendliness. We need to make it so that teachers can accept it, students can buy it without complaints, and the testing board can allow it. Having a super big screen isn't going to really help. I'm not against enlarging the screen a little bit, but don't make it into an iPod Touch.
2) TI compatibility. That's something interesting, eh? Although we are more or less trying to be better than TI, are we really going to throw years of ASM, Basic, and other TI-8x stuff away? This calc has the potential to run over TI's calcs. If we ever want to see some good stuff from TI-8x programs and applications without endless porting, we need to create a compatibility layer. Of course, programs designed specifically for KOS will do MUCH better, and will even look better too.
Ok, agreed with the compatibility. How about 188x124? (more or less) Something that is in the 3:2 ratio but definitely >100 in both width and height.
are we going to have a higher rez, and same size screen or same rez and larger screen size?

Albertrocks: very true.
Maybe at one point we can have someone that knows what they are doing, write a windows program tha will change something in ti-basic into kos format?

well i am all for a 2'nd key, but i will make due with the shift. Instead of the password during the test, my suggestion is that there be an option similar to press-to-test, but better. The teacher can disable all programs and apps for a given amount of time (like 45 minutes) during a test. After that, you will be able to use the programs again. This way, nothing is deleted, and you can still use your programs after the test or if your ports are broken.
If you can implement an accurate timer into the calculator, it would be nice.
I love your idea, it will make teachers that are if'y about some strange new calculator feel safe. Anyways, it could always be worked around . Quick question, how would you place the os into a circut board or whatever? That is whet i really don't understand. Edit: omg i just realized i think i might have one i could hook up to my computer, checking now.

i love it, but i feel it should be slightly thicker for
a. durability
b. longer lasting ports. ( it would be too easy to crack the calc by bending the mini usb inside the thing.

if we are going to use the eZ80 and I am pretty sure we are then I would personally prefer a "upgraded" version of KOS that makes better use of the speed and some new instructions. I know that it will be quitea job to do that, hell, sir has to finish the first KOS first...
Well we'll see, I just want to make sure we sqeeuze te processor to the max and make it as resource unintensive as possible..
good point, we will want to use our full potential

i don't think we need a sd card support. unless it comes for free, i wouldn't bother?
its a calculator, what would people need an sd card for.

I thunk different board designs are a must. What about like the sp with the hinged screen?
I think hinged screens might be bad, since tests may not like that. (They might want to see the screen at all times)
hinged not good. Might be to easy to break
