Look at this.
And then this.

Don't 68k basic programs work on all 68k calcs? If so, why are these BOTH in the archives?

On an interesting note, the 2nd one is file ID 1000. Yay!

Well, this isn't such a big deal. I suppose author could have used 68k at proggy type and only submit one file but maybe he did it so that he can track which calc version would get more attention and thus focus more work on that. Though, there aren't any radically ned basic feats in 89t... Oh well. Btw, are the wto files exactly the same? If so, I suppose they can be merged into one file...

for the 89 vs 89ti yes but the 92+/v200 have a bigger screen. and the 92 has a diffrent OS. so a 68k basic program that dosn't care about screen size should work on the 89/89ti/92+/V200.

Technically the 92 isn't a 68k calculator, it uses some other processor if I'm not mistaken.

I doubt that, considering it is in BASIC. I'll run the files when I get home and see if they are the same.

And I'm just happy that I have 500. :D

I think that the 92 has an 68k processor cause TIGCC can compile for it (if you add some stuff). I think that it has a diffrent OS.

err, well maybe he used the gettime( (the 89TE equivilant of it) in the 89TE version? :P

92 is a 68k calc. It's basically like a HW1 89, had a similar OS 1.xx to that of 89. I never had a 92 calc but if I'm not mistaken it had a removable cartridge thingy for its memory, I think it was ether for pgrade purposes or for extra features since it was geared for engineering people...

the clock functions are for AMS 2.08(maybe earlier?) and the clock dosn't work on HW1. Maybe the autor wanted the file to apear in both sections. That's interesting about the 92 I didn't really know that it had cartriges. but read somewhere that a 92 + plus pack = HW1 92+

Indeed. TI made flash cartriges, as it were, for 92 owners to install and basically have a 92+. It's really cool, in my opinion. I just wish I had been able to find one when I had a 92...
