There is 1.5 MB of user-accessible Flash ROM. All calculators with the letter H or later as the last letter in the serial code have fewer RAM pages, causing some programs to not run correctly. Newer calculators have a RAM chip that is only 48 kB. The chip has 128 kB, but Texas Instruments has not made an OS that uses all of it. Like the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, it features a 15 MHz Zilog Z80 processor and 24 kB user available RAM. The TI-84 Plus Silver Edition was released in 2004 as an upgrade to the TI-83 Plus.

There is no original TI-84, only the TI-84 Plus, the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition models, and the TI-84 Plus CE. The TI-84 Plus is a graphing calculator made by Texas Instruments which was released in early 2004. Backtracking and reviving their old TI-84 Plus format can be considered a step backward, and may confuse individuals and book publishers that have been getting used to the new TI NSpire and rewriting texts for the new format.128 KB or 48 KB RAM (depending on hardware revision) of which 24 KB are user accessible.ġ28 KB RAM of which 21 KB are user accessible.Ģ56 KB RAM of which 154 KB are user accessible.Ĥ.0 MB Flash ROM (3.0 MB user-accessible)

After all, TI has an amazingly powerful calculator and operating system that it has been transitioning to recently: the NSpire. The story, which originally debuted on the Cemetech forums, also indicates that the programming language (TI Basic) remains largely unchanged from the older TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus, which both use the same syntax.Īs with many others, I am slightly skeptical about the whole story. According to the source, only known as “0rac343,” the calculator is still running OS 2.55 and is only slightly different than the existing TI-84 Plus calculators. The rumored device was supposedly given to a teacher (actually, two whole classroom sets of 24 calculators) to pilot his classroom with.
