What is you could have a multiOS calculator? It could have the OS for a TI-89, a CSE, CE, CE-T, and so on and so forth....

The only problem is, this would require a LOT of archive.
Does anyone know what type of storage the archive is? I've heard it's FAT32, or something like that...

The archive on the TI-8x+ series calculators uses a custom filesystem, the backbone of which is the VAT. Also, it's impossible to run the TI-89 OS on a TI-84+ CE, because they use entirely different CPUs. The CSE and CE also have many hardware differences, rendering it impossible to run one OS on the other calculator. Something like what you are suggesting could be done with a small single board computer put inside a calculator case and loaded with different emulators, such as Kerm's TI-87.
Ok.....


How about we use the PINE 64? It is a supercomputer, after all.

Firstly, the PINE64 is much too large to fit inside a calculator body, and secondly, it's not a supercomputer.
