Most new calcs DO have one extra RAM page which the OS makes slight use of. Still, it can be used for a little less than 16K of RAM. I'm working on making a mini VAT for this 16K to allow users to actually use that extra RAM.
Ah, the teacher model, maybe... I know all of my teachers had one that was supposed to hook up to a device that hooked up to a television or some other monitor. I am not sure if that one has extra RAM or not.How did my foreign exchange brother get one from ti's shop?
I believe it's reversion 'F' calcs and before. :)I have revision F, and it works with msd8x. The port is only hooking up to the LCD directly, if I recall correctly, so that shouldn't deal with extra ram pages or not.
my serial number ends with P-0409LI'd say it's worth the try. Some programs will fail completely if the extra pages aren't present, but I believe MSD8x might work to a certain extent if they're not there.
that is later than F. is it still worth the try?
i have also access to a F revision calculator, maybe there?
my serial number ends with P-0409LI think the 0409 part means it was made in April of 2009. Mine has 0909. I do know that mine has one extra RAM page, but that is all (to my knowledge, anyway). I have not actually tried MSD8x on this new calculator, but the only peripheral I can hook my calc up to would be my PSP (that's all I have a cord for). Also, I personally don't need that much memory yet :D I still have about 1.25 MB of memory that I haven't touched, yet (or to put it another way, I've used 1/6 of my memory, and I still have apps that I don't actually use).

One of the adapters in this kit (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Emerge-Tech-3-USB-2.0-Universal-Cable-Kit/12575355) is mini-b male to normal-a female. Using the trick to change a mini-b to mini-a, it's useful.
So it might be possible to make a program for it, not a 16kb extensive-gui app...never thought of that.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.
I bought my calc in 2009...I got my 83+ in 2001, so yeah. O.O
that is pretty new, isn't it?
Well, we will soon see on my calc :)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.
I got tire of waiting so i did the aluminum foil thing.
How can i format my flash drive to FAT16?
if you're using windows, go to my computer, file/right click → formatFAT should be FAT 32, IIRC.
FAT works.
Aww... what does that mean, anyway? the FATxx (what does the xx mean?)
Wikipedia actually has a reasonably complete description (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#Design) of the filesystem data structures. Is that sufficient?Yes, but I never liked wikipedia for full information like that. Is there a utility that I can look at the structure of devices I already have?
For the record, my calculator has missing pages and runs msd8x, with a few graphical glitches, but usable all the same.Hmm, maybe I can look into USB8x again, then. I never got it to work, but it would be cool if I could use it.
