First Ever Video on the Internet of a TI-92 Plus Module!

#collector #vintage #legacy

[@JesperNissenSEO]

I got a ti92+ just when it came out. I loved that calculator. I used it in my physics studies, and all the other students were envious. I regret I sold it after some years, I still miss it, and feel it was the epitome of graphing calculators. We havent seen anything like it since

[@calculator_boy]

I second that ☝️

[@trs80model14]

I cringe to think of how many TI-92's of all types (and other graphing calcs for that matter) have gotten thrown out from school storage closets...

[@svartahaxa4263]

i'm so envious!

[@commtechengineer612]

That thing is a beast!

[@286EN]

Wow!

[@keyboard_g]

Very cool. I looked for a while and couldn’t find one.

[@blogintonblakley2708]

No, you did not get it randomly. You thought through the problem, worked for a year toward a solution and your idea panned out. Well done.

[@calculator_boy]

Seeing this just now! I really appreciate you leaving this comment.

[@hisham56hamilton50]

very cool bro ...very fine vid.

[@joselalfaro]

Hi 👋🏼 what are the differences between this version with the plus module vs the actual 92 plus? I also happen to have one of each and never realized it 👍🏼😜 Cool find 👍🏼

[@calculator_boy]

They are essentially identical, same functions, same everything. All the actual 92 Pluses I have are hardware revision 2, therefore faster than the module in this video, which is hardware revision 1.

[@davidrod2865]

what a wonderfull chanel

[@calculator_boy]

Thank you for saying that.

[@vesa6794]

Thanks for the videos. While I was studying in 1997 I bought TI-92 and updated it with plus module later. Your video made me get the calculator boxes from storage and I did also a slide show video about the contents to my KZbin channel. Do you own boxes for any of your TI-92s?

[@calculator_boy]

Love to hear it, I'll watch your video. I have a sealed 92 Plus; I don't have the box for any of my calculators.

[@paullebon323]

I paid $200 dollars for one of those things in 1995... which is $410 today.

[@ultrametric9317]

Score! But iMO having an original TI-92 is even more impressive. I have the 92+ and have used it extensively in my physics work. Great calculators. I just got a HP Prime yesterday, looking forward to playing with that - has Python!

[@drPeidos]

Do you have any 92-II module? How does an original 92 calculator with the 92-II module compares to a 92-II calculator without any modules? What would happen if a user inserted a 92-II module in a 92-II calculator? Do you know if a 92-II calculator with a 92+ module is better than an original 92 calculator with a 92+ module? Thanks.

[@calculator_boy]

92-II calculators are impossible to find. I've never seen one in person or for sale. TI never made 92-II modules, and I'm not even sure 92-II calculators have a slot for a module.

[@wdolgae]

I have my TI-92 with a plus module. Only big difference if I recall is the plus module does not add the clock.

[@calculator_boy]

That's right, the clock is a hardware feature. The calculator would still have all the time functions, but they are basically of no use.

[@Taras-Nabad]

So adding the module improves the screen also? The plus had a better screen , no?

[@calculator_boy]

It does not improve the display

[@trs80model14]

Nice! I spent about a year off and on looking for one of these and gave up. Would your collector friend be Professor Bills?

[@calculator_boy]

Dr. Jones

[@oklaclarinet]

Out of curiosity, how hard would it be to find one of these modules brand new sealed in box?

[@calculator_boy]

I doubt Texas Instruments made a lot of these, so it'd be extremely unlikely, though possible. I'm afraid that most people in possession with these modules don't even know how it rare it is. I was lucky to find a second one back in August. The seller didn't know it had the module. The calculator had a label printed sticker saying "TI-92 Plus"; put on there by the original owner I assume. So they are definitely out there, but challenging to find.

[@trs80model14]

Now the hunt is on for a 92-2! I’ve never seen one on ebay either

[@calculator_boy]

Absolutely☝

[@LuisReiss]

I just got one from local “market” 😊 a bit more memory and that’s it… I’ll trade it for a Plus model 😅

[@trs80model14]

@calculator_boy are you going to do a trade with @@LuisReiss ?

[@calculator_boy]

​@@LuisReissIf you still have put it on eBay and I'll buy it for a reasonable amount 😊

[@LuisReiss]

@@calculator_boy oh! I can do that. 😁

[@marcsheinberg6487]

How much memory does the module add? Thx

[@calculator_boy]

The same as a regular 92 Plus, 191KB RAM and 720KB ROM. This module is almost a 1 to 1 when compared to a 92 Plus. It is Hardware Revision 1, hence will be missing some features, which I'll do my best to cover in a review video.

[@drPeidos]

@@calculator_boy I would like to watch a review between the 92Plus and the 92Plus module.

[@marcsheinberg6487]

I want a module also, the 200 also accepts the module

[@marcsheinberg6487]

Maybe

[@calculator_boy]

The Voyage 200 does not support any type of expansion. It was the successor to the 92 Plus, therefore had everything the 92 family had to offer, plus nearly 4 times the flash storage of a 92 Plus.

[@marcsheinberg6487]

Okay, my bad I was looking at the ports on top of the 92 and 200. Are they parallel ports that link to a PC? Are they used with TI-Link software? Thx

[@marcsheinberg6487]

Are the second ports on the top of the 92s and 200s view screen or presenter ports?

[@calculator_boy]

@@marcsheinberg6487 The rectangular port at the top is used to connect the calculator to a viewscreen and nothing more as far I far as I know. The 2.5mm rounded port is used to transfer files between 2 calculators or connect the calculator to a computer. The regular 92 cannot be connected to a computer using the official TI Connect software (unless it has 92 Plus module like in this video, in which case it will get recognized by the TI Connect software as a TI-92 Plus) because it didn't have a flash storage, therefore its 2.5mm port is used solely to transfer data between 2 calculators of the same family (92, 92 II, 89, 89T, 92 Plus, Voyage 200)

[@SkibidiEugensson]

Dude, have you tried the Numworks calculator? It is quite a popular alternative to TI 84 CE in Europe.
