I learned to program on my TI-85.
First I read the manual and made simple Basic programs by hand.
Then I found online resources to copy and modify.
#ticalc on Efnet was a great community. They turned me onto making a homemade PC link cable, loading custom firmware, and downloading and writing programs in Assembly.
The screenshots in the KnightOS header are extremely
nostalgic.
I'm glad to see the TI hacking tradition continue.
- dogma1138 11y agoTI's were the closest thing that some one who was born in the mid to late 80's to early 90's had to an "old school" PC's. If you were born after 84's most likely the 1st computer you had to deal with would've been already running Windows, (MS-DOS)Norton Commander/Customized Shell or something similar and came with a manual which thought you how to call a 1-800 number to load a disk rather than BASIC.
