After a near heartattack with my TI-89 after upgrading it's flash ROM (I
think it is flash rom, Flash Somethin,
http://www.ti.com/calc/docs/flash.htm). I have to ask myself what exactly
does the RCX have to store the Fireware.
After pulling all avaible power source to my TI-89, it still retained the old
firmware. This is kinda annoying due to the fact I like to play ASM games on
it and which caused the calculator to seiz up and not work til about 5
minutes without any batteries.
Accually, I am getting rather ticked off at my calculator now due to it won't
play any games.
Anywho, what exactly does the RCX use to store the Firmware?
