Out of all the pic I have seen in overcolcking page, my calculator looks way different...
Things I see on the net:
And...
But mine looks like this:
Can anyone help me finding out any info on my calc version or anything?
There is a type of serial number at the right edge of the calc in the image if that helps... |

| Whoa! I've never seen a calc with that type of chipset! "TI-83(A)" means TI-83, and not 83+ right? |

No, its a plus, or in was made in cuba moded to act like a plus  .
O yah, I tryed to look up the prossessor on the internet, I found absolutly nothing on it. the only thing I could find is the Flash ROM.
Another weird thing is that the mother board it only has 5 semiconductors:
1 prossesor(may also contain RAM inside)
2 flip-flop 8 bit switches
1 Flash ROM
1 Voltage regulator
and a bunch of transistors
But it works alot better that anyone of my friends TI's

| That's bizarre. I wish I had a datasheet to help figure out were this clocking cap went. If you give me the processor number, I'll ask around for you. |

| Okay, I put in the request for you. These things can usually take a few days or weeks for these rare foreign chips. It might just be easier to contact an American distributor and ask them to fax or email the datasheet. |

Im getting upset at two companys, EPSON and Inventec. First EPSON for not giving me anything refering to an LCD display I have, and Inventec for not giving me anything on the prossessor in my calc... I finaly tryed sending them 3 emails, maybe that will get the message around  . |

| My data request didn't go through either. These old foreign chips are a real nuisence. You'd think there'd be a database or something. Maybe Detached Solutions can help. Jim e does a few mods I think. |
