From
a users point of view the TI-83 is compatible with the TI-82
but added some financial functions and the "official" support of
assembly programming. A smart decision, the TI-83 developed itself as a popular
programming platform and prepared the tremendous success of the TI-83 Plus.
A special "teacher version" called TI-83 VSC combines the standard TI-83 features with a port to connect to a ViewScreen panel via a cable. Placing the panel on the overhead projector enlarges the image of the handheld screen so that each student can follow along.
A serial port of the calculators allows the connection to the Calculator-Based Laboratory system CBL, its successor CBL 2 and the Calculator-Based Ranger CBR.
The design of the TI-83 changed during production slightly,
don't miss the second TI-83.
