yeah, I think the CPU on mine got fried (as there was corrosion in that area of the calc on the mobo).
Meh, that's the worst; I hate when that happens to my electronics. Sad Any plans to replace it?
I replaced already (had to for math class), though I might play around with it, see what I can do with it).
Ah, cool! You'd probably be best off casemodding it to the max, since it's a spare case; if you come up with something cool, transfer a mainboard from a working calc in.
Here are the pics I promised a while back:

Very nice! I think it looks good in the silver calc.
it does blend in well.
Here are some assembly drivers I wrote for BASIC programs to add PS/2 functionality. Right now theres only keyboard functions, but mouse is coming sometime sooner or later.

Can somebody (besides me) who has built one of these try out the code for bugs and stuff?
sechsay.
Im looking at your coil gun project, we are getting into magnetic fields ect in science so I might try my hand at making one...
Good stuff, but you DEFINITELY need to add timeouts / error catching to prevent it freezing when no device is attached.
that was quick...

I lurk here almost constantly. Smile I loaded the drivers onto the UltCalc and made keyboard LEDs flash on an d off.
Now is there someone with 1337 pr0gramming ski11z who'll write an app with hooks and stuff to allow keyboard on homescreen/menus? mouse would probably require some TI-OS hacking.
Oh come on, woulnt you just love a ^ sign for a mouse or something moving chunk by chunk along the homescreen?! Kerm, is it possible to have a homescreen mouse? If so, what would the limitations be.

You can't hook on link activity too reliably, so it probably wouldn't work out.
Doesn't the TI-OS do it all the time, for silent linking?

Nope, because it uses an interrupt, not a hook, to catch silent linking; even that operates on their 'tardsome serial protocol and definitely wouldn't have anything related to PS/2.
Ok, i don't really know what I'm talking about when it comes to interrupts/hooks/etc, better read up on it.

Fair enough. Oh, and you can't make a TSR interrupt for the PS/2 routines, as the TI-OS will royally crash if you do so.
