Other Texas Instruments Calculators
Texas Instruments 73
Operating Systems (Zilog Z80)
Calcsys
Some sort of “system program” that features a hex editor, disassembler, port monitor, etc. akin to KnightOS’ features.

KnightOS
the pieces of KnightOS are maintained as separate projects under the KnightOS organization
Compatible with the TI-73. The most recent versions may support USB upload from PC, allowing this to effectively completely replace the original calculator OS.
https://github.com/KnightOS/KnightOS (git most recent & USB, but compile difficult)
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/463/46387.html (precompiled, NO USB!!)
Mallard
The only ASM shell for the TI-73 w/ dedicated programs, unless you want to count Swan or KnightOS. Has two versions, 0.2 and 0.3, with 0.3 apparently being just a test.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/366/36618.html (0.2, for TI-OS 1.6)
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/388/38805.html (0.3, for all TI-OSes?)
Swan
A flash shell that can run Mallard programs. Little information about appearances.

Texas Instruments 81
Operating Systems (Zilog Z80)
“Windows”
What even is this? The TI-81 has no way to communicate with a PC.
Texas Instruments 82
Operating Systems (Zilog Z80)
Ace, Ash, CrASH, JASS, OS-82
Various text only shells that are required for many games on this thing. A few are dead, so look in…
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/226/22691.html (Ace)
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/14/1411.html (Ash)
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/286/28681.html (CrASH new for 82s)
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/87/8774.html (CrASH update)
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/87/8772.html (CrASH)
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/16/1628.html (JASS)
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/1/113.html (OS-82)
BacOS
Whatever this is, it has no information.
Cabinet OS ME
Allows organization of files, apparently.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/182/18213.html
DOS
Imitates the interface of DOS.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/352/35207.html
Windows TI v4.1
Imitates Windows, with a start menu, cursor, and programs slots.
OS-97 v1.0
Like Windows TI, except no fancy GUI, it seems.
OS-9X v1.2
Appears to be imitating a Powershell prompt of some sort.
TI Windows 98
A more fancy imitation, because it has a mock Windows logo. The usual “Start” menu and nothing else…
Windows 2000 (82)
Yet again, imitating Windows with a Start menu and nothing else. This time, it has built in programs.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/148/14868.html
Windows 95
Imitations with a start menu.
82 Windows 95
Revolutionary, because it has icons on the desktop, plus little buttons where the clock would usually be.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/110/11025.html
Internet
Mbus
Requires CrASH. Enables I2C and Networking; to what extent is unknown.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/109/10999.html
Texas Instruments 84+ CE
Operating Systems (Zilog Z80)
Cesium
A colorful launching shell with various interfacing supports, such as file renaming.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/465/46574.html
Console emulation (potential)
Whether these emulators support operating systems for these consoles is unknown; it must be looked into further. Consoles without meaningful OSes are not included.

Nintendo Entertainment System – NES84
Nintendo Game Boy (no Color) – Ti-Boy CE 0.1.3
PC emulation (potential)
Whether these emulators support operating systems for these computers is unknown; it must be looked into further. PCs without meaningful OSes are not included.

CHIP-8/SuperCHIP – Chip84CE, Chip-84
RetardOS
It’s for “retards”, apparently.
https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/474/47470.html
Internet
Ti-Mail Calculator Email Client
Whether this can interface with POP/IMPP email servers is unknown, but it seems to imply it can.
