Overview

Fargo is a shell and operating system for the Texas Instruments TI-92 graphing calculator that enables M68000 assembly language programs to be executed. David Ellsworth is the primary developer of Fargo. Fargo programs are much faster than programs written for Texas Instruments' BASIC-like interpreter. You must have a link cable to transfer Fargo to your calculator or to use Fargo programs. The Fargo development kit includes documentation which explains it's installation and use. You can download Fargo for free from ticalc.org.

Troubleshooting

When running assembly language (ASM) programs, your calculator is no longer protected by TI's OS from fatal errors and memory corruption. Therefore ASM programs may cause your calculator to unexpectantly freeze up. If this happens, you must reset the calculator's memory. This will erase all data on your calc, and you will need to reinstall any software that was previously installed. One of the following methods should work:

• Press [Hand] and [2nd] and [On] at the same time.
• Remove one of the AA batteries. Hold [(-)] and [)] as you reinstall the battery. Continue to hold [(-)] and [)] for 5 seconds.
