I) Introduction

This program suppresses the 8/24 kb (it depends on AMS) hardware
limitation : in clear, no more black bar !

This limitation is present on HW2 2.0x.

II) Installing HW2Patch

* PC patch :

Launch HW2Patch.exe and choose a tib (ou 89u/9xu).
Then use TIB Receiver to send it.
You can cancel the modifications by launching HW2Patch.exe again.

* On-calc patch :

Launch HW2Patch. This offers you to patch the ROM definitively :
- if you accept, the ROM will be modified, then you won't need HW2Patch
  even after a reset.
  You can restore your ROM by reinstalling AMS.
- if you refuse, you will have to launch HW2Patch after each reset, or
  after the uninstallation of certain kernels.

The 8/24 kb software limitation is still there.
If you install a kernel, you'll be able to run any assembly program.

NOTES: - WARNING ! Using this program isn't without danger. Be sure your
         calculator is stable.
       - Use this program at you own risk and I cannot be held
         responsible for any damage done to your calculator.

III) History

01/27/2001 : HW2Patch 2.30
- On-calc version works on AMS 2.05.
  Thanks a lot to Johan Eilert (http://alh.dhs.org/ti89/) who found out
  how to make HW2Patch run with AMS 2.05.
- 89 only : works on AMS 2.02.
- I am still searching AMS 2.02 for 92+, and if this version exists, the
  PC patch should work.
- A bugfix : hw2patch.exe didn't unpatch the tib properly.

- FAQ added.

08/15/2000 : HW2Patch 2.20
