A TI-85 is Zilog Z80 based (actually a single chip by Toshiba), so no
luck there. A 92+ has probably enough ram & flash to run uClinux -
uClinux doesn't need a MMU. 89, 92 and 92+ have a M68000-like processor,
I think something like ColdFire. It doesn't have a MMU so normal Linux
is out of question.
