Canada.

EDIT: And... I've bricked it. I think I used the wrong file to update it, I'm supposed to use 2_02_0201_sh4.fls as my calculator was on 02.02.701... dang. Won't turn on or anything. Even tried holding the restart button down with F2, 4, and AC. I assumed from the read me attached that I was supposed to use 2_02_0200_sh3.fls :banghead:

The TI-80 or TI-81( I forget which) lacks getkey as well. Both of the Sharp graphing calcs I have also lack getkey. Aside from that though, their version of BASIC is extremely similar to TI-BASIC.
The 80 lacks getKey. I don't have an 81 so I can't say about that one.

Press [F2]+[4]+[AC/ON]+RESTART at the same time
Release RESTART and continue pressing the remaining keys for a few seconds
Press [9] for a second
Press [X] (multiplication) for a second

This will display the message "OS ERROR" which activates the boot code's emergency OS updater.

Sorry I haven't been able to reply, been rather busy lately IRL. Basically, nothing worked, even the F2+4+AC -> Restart -> 9 -> x. I got another one, and I haven't tried to upgrade the OS, for fear of bricking it again. Thanks for the support, though.

The 81 lacks getkey as well, and it even lacks For() and has fewer RAM. However, it's much faster than the TI-80 and it doesn't break as fast.


Also sorry to hear you bricked the first calc Roondak. Hopefully there is a solution to your OS issue.
