Well yes, tomsrtbt fits on a floppy, so it could fit on a TI-89. But it's kinda hard to make a Linux distro to fit in less than 10MB... Unless you use uClibc?

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

Or we could just use WFRNG OS.

I converted that already and booted it off an 89Ti; I put WFRNGOS1.89K somewhere in http://brandonw.net/calcstuff/, maybe even in the same zip as the program.

That would probably work, actually.  Or we could make a custom OS that acts as a flash drive, thus expanding our available space.  We have the TI-89 key.

The 89 key was used to sign the NT Offline Password and Registry Editor boot image. I believe it's officially the largest signed 68k Flash application ever created at 2.3MB.

EDIT: MenuetOS will fit on a floppy.

It would be awesome if this was ported to the nSpire. Very awesome indeed.

I've always known this is theoretically possible, but nice to see it actually done! :D
Can't wait to see what other USB things you do, Brandon! :)

Heya and welcome on the forums! I hope you enjoy your stay! :D

Unfortunately I think there is little documentation about TI-Nspire USB, so it would be a bit hard. :(
