  • Introduction



    The TI-89 contains the power of the TI-92+, though in the normal handheld design. This allows the calculator to be used on alot of the highschool and college bound tests.

    Checking ROM Version



    If you would like to see which ROM chip your calculator came with, press the following key sequence:

    [F1] [A]

    There are several different ROM versions for the TI-89, below is a list of them:

    1.00, 1.05, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2,08, 2.09

    Programming Languages



    The TI-89 can execute BASIC, Assembly, and C programming languages on the calculator. TI-BASIC is the only language that you can write onto the calculator, ASM and C has to be written on the computer, and compiled, before the calculator can execute it. To program in C, you will need to read up on the TIGCC compiler, and the tutorials that come with it.

    Warning!!
    Please note that while an assembly/c program is being executed, it has the potential to crash, and wipe everything off of 
    your calculator. Also, if you are not careful, when the assembly program crashes, it could be fatal for the calculator.
    Use extreme caution when programming in the assembly language.
