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
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 👍🏼
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.
@@lildeathwishhh if its cheap sure! Bring batteries to test it. But be warned it’s a slippery slope.. first you have one TI92 .. then you have a dozen 😁
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.
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.
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 TH-cam channel. Do you own boxes for any of your TI-92s?
I think you should also compare the 92 to the 92+. I have the manuals for both but only the 92+ unit and the tutorials in the second chapter refer to features that literally are not on the 92+, specifically the Geometry mode where you can draw various shapes. As you know, it's not the same as the drawing tools in the Graph mode.
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.
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!
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.
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 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)

I second that ☝️
i'm so envious!
Your vid’s are my goto for TI-92 info. Outstanding info!

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.
Seeing this just now! I really appreciate you leaving this comment.
That thing is a beast!
Very cool. I looked for a while and couldn’t find one.
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...
i found a whole box of em in a school dumbster
@@kooll2401 There was an expose awhile back of many TI83’s being found in a NYC school dumpster..
I just seen one at goodwill today should I have picked it up?

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.
very cool bro ...very fine vid.
I paid $200 dollars for one of those things in 1995... which is $410 today.

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

So adding the module improves the screen also? The plus had a better screen
, no?
It does not improve the display
what a wonderfull chanel
Thank you for saying that.
I have my TI-92 with a plus module. Only big difference if I recall is the plus module does not add the clock.
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.
Nice! I spent about a year off and on looking for one of these and gave up. Would your collector friend be Professor Bills?
Dr. Jones
Wow!
Dude, have you tried the Numworks calculator? It is quite a popular alternative to TI 84 CE in Europe.
Now the hunt is on for a 92-2! I’ve never seen one on ebay either
Absolutely☝
I just got one from local “market” 😊 a bit more memory and that’s it… I’ll trade it for a Plus model 😅
@calculator_boy are you going to do a trade with @@LuisReiss ?
@@LuisReissIf you still have put it on eBay and I'll buy it for a reasonable amount 😊
@@calculator_boy oh! I can do that. 😁
How much memory does the module add? Thx

@@calculator_boy I would like to watch a review between the 92Plus and the 92Plus module.
I want a module also, the 200 also accepts the module
Maybe

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