History of Texas Instruments fails (TI versus community)

[Dream of Omnimaga]

But what I fear is that the color calcs are next to lose ASM support and the successor of the 84+CE will most likely block ASM/C

I'm not sure.

In my opinion, they did just not consider the old reused TI-84+ PCB secure enough against asm programs in exam mode (remember all the PTT OS patches which were released on Omnimaga).
But with their new TI-84+CE PCB, they directely adressed the security problem at the hardware level. So they think asm is not a problem.

That's possible.

I would rather prefer that TI restricts access to the PCB in exam mode, even if it means losing certain ASM commands or Flash APP support, than seeing them remove ASM entirely. I wish they did the same on the 83+/84+, though...
