Either that or all new units will use the same more recent HW.
I haven't seen the NSpire up close yet, but for what it's worth, I don't think so. There appear (from the TI web-site) to be other physical and software differences, for instance the CAS version does not have the provision for the swappable TI-84-style keyboard, and therefore the internal software probably dispenses with the compatibility code to emulate the 84. (It also appeared to me that the keyboard swap feature was also used as a battery compartment cover for the non-CAS version -- I don't know what the CAS version uses. Maybe access from the back?)
