This is one good question...It's possible to upgrade the flash memory?
If I'm not wrong the calc has one "flash chip", can we change that "flash chip" to have more flash memory?
If not why?

I'm almost sure that it's possible....But we need some new program to install add in's?
Or the harware/software of the calc don't let us do that.........

I don't know exactly but i think it is not possible because of the
Flash driver of datalight! I think it is precompiled to use only 6 Flash drives
(with the given size)

And what about installing fdisk and remapping flash?
Or manually write simple C prog, that changes filesystem on flash.
Or there are no filesystem?

There is a filesystem on flash. But it can't be changed using fdisk
as the flash is no harddisk. My <{GNULINUX}> will support connectig multiple disks
of 60K each to one. (up to 12 disks).
The flash also can't be (write-)accesed like a Harddrive! It's a completely
other way.

Does it means, that we cannot change filesystem?
If it is, about what "other way" you have told?

no real <{GNULINUX}> will definately NOT run on an afx as the smallest one I found
(MINIX) need 10MB of harddrive!
for the "other way":
You can't write to the flash!
You've to format it then all is set to 0.
You can only change 0's to 1's on the flash!

but you could dump it to RAM, change it, format, and send it back again 
or, alternatively, if you don't have enough space in RAM
you could dump it to another flash drive
dump the part to change into ram
format
send it back, reading selectivelly from RAM and the other flash drive
or, perhaps an easier way to go about the free space problem
dump the contents of RAM to a free Flash drive
dump the flash drive to change to RAM
change it
format the drive, and send it back
then, send your RAM dump from flash back to RAM
or, alternatively, if you don't have enough space in RAM
you could dump it to another flash drive
dump the part to change into ram
format
send it back, reading selectivelly from RAM and the other flash drive

then, send your RAM dump from flash back to RAM

No that's the contrary you can change 1's to 0's only!You can only change 0's to 1's on the flash!

Sorry! 2072 You're right (of course) ! Didn't look at it again.
(so it is formated to FF and you only can change 1s to 0s)

Well but it?s possible to install more memory, I think that the new models will have more memory ( Flash ), see for example the new CFX models they are the same, but for the AFX, I thing that they will increase the memory??

the new CFX models (I think you reffered to the -we models).
have neither flash nor more memory.
It was said that they have even less!

OK OKI just said that because there is any hardware changes, but its possible ( in theory of course ) that the new AFX models will come whit more flash memory??

...they should put some kind of floppy disks on Casio AFX. Well, i mean flash portable disks (with 2/3 MB each) and we would have a nice AFX 3.0 , and no flash upgrade would be needed.
