? C810A6C066800CB_62 OS 03.60.0202 Worn Manual(s) 2022-12-07 Way better than the TI-84 Plus CE; I also really like the UI since I also really like the TI-86 UI. Brother damaged it -_-
P 0412 L 2956003915 Flash OS 3.10 New 2023-02-02 Bought off E-Bay from someone listing it as a TI-86. For sure paid less than I otherwise would have, given that it's in almost perfect condition.
? D 9CJ01600FL OS 2.1.14603 Good Manual(s) 2021-12-25 Second Christmas calculator. Really nice to use, and I've convinced a number of classmates going into various fields in college where it might help to buy one. I hate how often it crashes.
P 0113 L 3444004541 Flash ROM 1.19 New 2023-03-06 I really like the flat screen, rather than it being set in.
? New Manual(s) 2022-12-27 Funny impulse purchase. There's no serial number or anything on it, and as far as I can tell Catiga doesn't really exist on the Internet aside from selling this and the other model exactly.
S 1002 A 2151013438 ROM 1.10001 Good 2023-03-02 Early hardware revision, and really funky looking. Not a huge fan.
L 0818 L 1085038097 Flash ROM 5.6.1.0012 Fair 2018 This is actually my second TI-84 Plus CE. My first one was an early revision, but was washed out after the teachers required we leave our stuff outside during a tornado watch.
? C805A9W002680BA_E2 OS 02.01.7301.0000 New Manual(s) 2022-12-25 I do have the stylus, but God help me if I damage/lose it. Third Christmas calculator, and probably the last unless I manage to convince my grandparents to get me an HP-50G.
I 0697 B 02405869 ROM 1.2 Fair 2023-02-18 My second attempt at buying a TI-86. I enjoy using it, but man is it slow.
I 1293 E 1220853 ROM 2.0V Good 2023-03-02 This one is fun to see people react to because its just so archaic.
I 0595 R 31517791 ROM 19.0 Good Manual(s) 2023-02-25 First calculator I bought for collections' sake, rather than to use. I do find programming for it fun and have written my own statistics suite for it. I also intend to, at some point, look at some assembly programming to add arbitrary x-value calculation for the graph math features.
M 0420 AK 4A00000278 OS 5.3.2.129 Worn Manual(s) 2020-12-25 First of three Christmas calculators in a row. I hate how fracking slow it is.
S 0405 B 2091022970 ROM 1.10001 Good 2023-04-10 Literally just a TI-83.
? C838B7C211317BB_62 OS 03.60.3200 New Manual(s) 2023-04-13 I like it a lot -- I just wonder why the heck they didn't copy the History Copy feature over to the fx-CG50? Feels like a wasted opportunity and/or stupid move.
I 0793 C 0751815 ROM 8.0 Good 2023-04-25 A very clear predecessor to the TI-86, and while it's missing a lot of what I like about the '-86, it's still very nice, and it has the boxy TI-81/82 shell that I like for some reason.
S 0507 pre-A 2016031282 OS 2.0.0.1188 Poor 2023-04-28 Given to me by my Freshman Algebra I teacher on Senior Day. Thought it didn't work but actually does, and just has a bad screen.
P 1009 I 2248004913 OS 3.1.0.392 Good 2023-05-05 I flippin' hate the UI on this thing. Like holy crap. Who thought this was a good idea? Goodness forbid you wanna use the whole screen.
I 0600 D 1360016553 Flash OS 2.09 Worn 2023-05-06 Not great condition (missing feet and has scratches) but works perfectly.
I 0401 A 1280V04383 Flash OS 2.09 New 2023-05-13 Very useful with Mathtools and ASI. The ASISFLIB instructions show functions in neither Mathtools nor ASISFLIB, and I was wondering if anyone knew where those came from? Thanks.
P 1209 K 2431002642 Flash OS 3.10 Good 2023-05-30 Way smaller than I thought it would be.
Bad connection between power and MB means it loses RAM on the slightest bump.
? 3047S03778 New 2023-06-08 Working battery cover!
? ID81206376 ROM R New 2023-06-17 The KEYS!!!!
But it's really slow.
? D84300697 Poor 2023-07-17 Not in great condition but oh well. Still works just fine, minus an issue with getting contact on the batteries.
? 2916A12854 Good 2023-07-18 Though it was a BII... still mostly the same.
? B ID94201740 HP49-B Revision 1.19-6 Good 2023-08-08 I hate the menus
They're f*$!ing awful
I hate the UI
I think I hate this thing more than the NSpire
I 1295 pre-A V0402912 Firmware 1.4 Good Manual(s) 2023-05-05 Very bulky. Also my hardcover doesn't want to stay on =(
S 0403 C 2094031294 Flash ROM v1.19 Worn 2023-10-28 Battery cover broken and the ( key worn completely off
S 0607 G 2474014590 Flash OS 1.90 New 2023-10-29 Good as new!
S 0306 G 2355023448 Flash OS 1.90 Fair 2023-11-02 Worse condition than the other one, but since I'd rather have that one, and can't return this one, even though the other one was supposed to be a regular -73, I have two 73Es.
I 0698 C 39002758 ROM 4.0 New 2023-11-04 Works great, and looks great.


SLOW.
But we knew that.
S 0103 C 2095000408 Flash OS 1.60 New 2023-11-24 My second try. Last one was listed as a -73 but a -73E was sent.
S 0704 A 2054022743 Flash ROM 2.21 Good Faceplate(s) 2023-11-24 Seems like the -/Ans key is stuck
Update: Fixed! Took a lot of ""very scientific"" application of pencil graphite and quite a bit of contact bending, plus corrosion cleaning, and finally straight up bending the PCB.
I 1197 E 07225172 ROM 1.4 Good 2023-12-01 May get gutted one day to make a TI-85(6).
? Poor 2023-12-01 Just a stupid Casio clone.
K 0514 H 1164103852 Flash ROM 4.2 Good Faceplate(s) 2024-01-20 Slow. Lmao.
K 0410 Q 1502008737 Flash OS 2.53MP Good 2024-02-15 My last z80, the humble TI-84 Plus.
Previous owner etched name into back.
? 3601S00519 ROM R Good 2024-02-16 Slow, but slightly faster than my G. Also more RAM. Will be killer with ALG48 and INT.
3528S05166 HP-38A Poor 2024-03-13 Flip case still attached.
Has common condition where the space above the 2nd function button must be held down for ON to register. That or excessive force.
3120S06406 ROM E Fair 2024-09-10 Purchased to get an HP-48 without the equation library, for a class!

Keyboard is not actually cooked. Thing just needed some time to sit.
Good 2024-11-29 Turns on but doesn't want to stay on. Will probably need repair, but otherwise works properly.

Seems to be an issue with the batteries not staying in, not an actual hardware issue. Marking as working.
