Hi,

I'm not understanding what the real difference between these units is. ticalc.org says that although the Silver has more RAM, only 24K of RAM is user-accessible.

Is this true even when programming in Z80 assembly? The Silver is much more expensive. What do I lose by buying a regular 84+ and not getting the Silver model?

Thanks.

The Silver has a ton more flash memory

Thanks I have no idea what that means in practical terms. Would you explain please?

Flash memory is the archive memory, so where you store the apps and, optional, programs and other things.
The 84+ has about 500KB and the 84+SE has about 1500KB

Oh, thanks. 500K sounds like a fair ton of memory though. Is there a Linux app to transfer files to and fro?

Yes, it's called tilp.
