A late post, but still within one month of the last post:
What if you were to somehow rewrite the way the OS sends information to the screen, and then cut off the screen and reattach a gameboy screen or even a simple 8 color LCD found at an electronics store?
Or, rather than send information out the linkport to a lighting system for colored frontlighting, instead send your (for exampe:) 8-bit screen data out the linkport and have it attached to an external screen. |

| Because I don't want to have the same discussion in two topics, and they are sufficiently different that I don't want to merge them either. |

| You couldn't replace the screen. You would also need to replace the built-in lcd driver. Then the screen would have to be 1/3rd the size. |

I mean, was it photoshopped or something? His site didn't describe how he got that.

I did... I kept going until my batteries ran out. I put it in new batts today and it worked perfectly. |

i dont know.. this doesnt look photoshopped to me..
if the calc was backlighted, and with and external memory add on, it will virtually be a mobile entertainment system!  |

He doesn't say how he did it, however. Just a very weird crash? Photoshopped? |

That illusion is possible (?)
If you cut a disk of paper, and draw a black/white striped pattern, then spin it, you can see colours.
I've found it to be most visible under striplights.
The effect is called Benham's disk or Benham's top. Quite a few of the magic/science books I had when I was much younger had sample patterns, and I tried recreating the effect -- bizarrely, it could not be photographed under normal light, but under strip light it could be faintly seen.
-> http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/col_benham/index.html
That's not a fake; if you screenshot the Flash animation you can see it's just plain black and white.
The pulleys we used in physics at school were black with slots cut into them, and under the lab lighting would turn green when spun at the right speed.
Remember that the TI-85/86 has a memory-mapped LCD, so they can get the speeds required for such an effect. Whether it's practical: I don't know.

Ah yes, if only the 83 series had that display power. :/ |

Yet some people wonder why I have always preferred the Ti-85/86 to the Ti-83 family of calculators.
If only TI would release a Ti-86 plus with a ton of flash memory to go with the 96K of RAM.
