Someone should come up with a way to allow calcs to receive backups/vars from other models. Maybe this could be done by re-arranging packets during the link 'handshaking.' I think the MC68000 models might already have something like this, but it would be especially useful for TI-82/85/86 BASIC developers.

you just write an asm program that does the handshaking/transmitting instead of using the tios

this could probably be done but would need a PIC or Programable Integrated Circuit. I however have never worked with these so would not know what would be needed. I do admit this sounds intriging. Mabye even make it possible o do chat programs with different calcs.

I'll probably attempt this project sometime this spring--using an AVR μController and a Flash or EEPROM chip for memory. Lately though, I've been to bogged down working on Robot War to get much of anything out of the blueprint phase.

The 68k calcs do have something like this. Although the project was aborted due to author's lack of interest, I'm guessing, it should still work. (If you have a 3 year old shell installed...) Good luck if you're going to try and get something like it for the other calcs.

This is unrelated, but "translating" made me think of:
What do the language bytes in ti83plus.inc do?
ie.
;======================================================================
; Language localization equates
;======================================================================
LANG_NEUTRAL equ 00h
LANG_DANISH equ 06h
LANG_DUTCH equ 13h
LANG_ENGLISH equ 09h
