It's a *graphing calculator*. Even if you can install FreeDOS (and I
doubt it'
Hi! Interesting question. This calculator has only 146 kB RAM
and only 256 kB of the ROM is reprogrammable flash. Also, the
display has very low resolution. You might be able to get some
workable solution by starting from Rayer's ROM OS approach, but
everything is very small in that calculator. So
This is supposed to have a V30 processor and Rom-Dos. Haven't had time
to check it out thoroughly yet.
I should have asked if it can be installed by a clutz.

Check the speed of the cf chip. If too fast for your machine, it
might not work. If over 266x I have problems. Sandisk chips are
high quality but they are internally marked as removable. Alot
of programs are made to refuse to run on removables.

Any assembler included with FreeDOS will work perfectly for your use case.
Personally between fasm and nasm I have a slight preference for nasm
because it has clear and extensive documentation including examples on how
to create 16-bit code for DOS: https://www.nasm.us/docs.php

Hi!
If you say you have a 512 MB BIOS limit, your limit probably
is 512 * 63 * 16 * 1024 bytes, in other words a limit in the
number of "heads" (those do not relate to actual surfaces).
Are you sure FreeDOS is affected when you use LBA? Note that
the limit is only 504 * 1024 * 1024 bytes, so de

The BIOS on this machine doesn't like partitions outside of the first 512 MiB
of the disk, so DOS is limited to 512 MiB per disk (but I'm able to run Linux
and Win95 beyond that point).
