I was into the hacked TI calculator thing when I was in high school. It
was where I learned Z80 assembly. About the time I moved on, someone had
created a new 'OS' for the TI-85 that provided a simple shared library
system in an attempt to fit more games onto the calc at once.

What was cool about it was the fact that TI didn't disapprove of the
things people were doing to their calculators. In fact, later models
(including the TI-86 and TI-92, IIRC) have direct support for assembly
language programs.

You might want to check out ticalc.org if it's still up.
