Hi !

  Here are one or two things I'd like to know about TI85 : How can I know what
is the ROM version I have ?

  And something more theorical : I think that the Z80 which is inside TI85s is
far more powerful that the HP48's which is a 4-bit one, running at 1 MHz : I've
been told that the Z80 couldn't properly work under a 2 MHz frequency.
  Does that mean that using assembly language, we could write programs that
would be far better than HP48's ? (I especially think about fast games, some of
them on HP48 -such as a french version of Xenon- are quite impressive).

Thanx in advance,
Stephane JANTZEN
