So it might be possible to make a probram for it, not a 16kb extensive-gui app...never thought of that.
I would probably use a program over an app any day.

Or it might be possible in Axe ;D

I think I just got an idea...

Not quite. The BASIC interface doesn't have a file enumeration function. And I'm not sure the USB8X driver layer can be initialized from Axe. If it can't be done currently, it shouldn't be hard to add support for that functionality. IIRC, MSD8X uses the extra RAM pages for buffering, especially for the directory entry listing.

Edit: If you're wondering, the USB8X driver requires that you set aside 32 bytes of RAM for the resident driver handler routine (which uses self-modifying code). The routine to initialize that is about 40 to 50 bytes. The U_CALL macro itself is simple enough that you could inline every instance of it. Each driver also has its own memory requirements. For example, the MSD driver requires a 512 byte sector buffer, and a 254 byte internal buffer. All of these routines use pass-by-register for inputs, and many outputs.

I bought my calc in 2009...
that is pretty new, isn't it?
I got my 83+ in 2001, so yeah. O.O

But on a serious note the reason why MSD8x won't work well on calculators made after April 2007 is because their hardware changed and the 84+ series no longer have 128 KB of RAM, but rather 48. TI-Boy SE, RealSound, Emu8x and a few other programs may fail to run.

That entirely depends on the OS, and is fairly googable (At least I found it on the first link for my mac).  I don't think any OS has it officially deprecated, but most OSes won't allow you to do it with a gui.

if you're  using windows, go to my computer, file/right click → format
FAT works.

FAT should be FAT 32, IIRC.

Naa it appears that FAT is FAT16.

Cool, I was wondering what happened to that... is there a FAT8?

There's a FAT12, though. Nobody likes to write FAT12 code.
