Has anyone else discovered www.ticalc.org/extra or it's subfolders such as www.ticalc.org/extra/afj (April Fool's Joke?)? Very bizarre...

I found the 'extra' a few months ago but never really looked around in it. Don't spread the word...

<shh> ;-)

They took the picture of the V400 down, but you can find it _here_!!

I Don't know if anyone noticied it yet, if the aswer is yes I apologise, but today is april fools day so this thing named voyage 400 is probably a fake, and a lie.
Anyway it looks very good

can you say april fools?

yes, as a matter of fact, I can

why do you ask?

I was just really amazed that someone could say it!

wow, just as ugly as the current voyager, but sounds like it has some really cool features... hope it isnt exspensive, or that ugly...

wow, thats what I get for forgetting it was April 1st...

what's the 200 in voyage 200 stand for anyway?

This is what they did.

1. '92+'8
2. Humm...the number is too small
3. 100*2

They just wanted a bigger number to make people think it was that much better.

My friends and I determined that this was an April Fool's joke at about 3AM GMT today... seeing how this thing would be slightly faster than a Game Boy Advance...

I bet Nintendo wouldn't approve of that ;)

Actually, I think they could care less, but I know for a fact TI wouldn't make something this powerful.

But they SHOULD :)

Man, that's sad. A Game Boy is faster than a graphing calculator. WHY?!?!

I know... guess which one is more popularly used for games? lol

This is off the subject, but does anyone know of a place or person that I could purchase the IR link cable? Any help would be great.

It's not off-topic, you want to hook up your Voyage 400 to your computer via IR. Right?

Actually, I was looking for a IR cable that can be used to connect two voyages or be used as a remote control type device. Connecting to a computer through a IR cable would be cool too... I've read on this site that there were places you could order the cable, but all the links to the sites that sell the cable are dead links. Do you know anyone that still makes and sells the cable or someone that would possibly consider selling a used one?

There is no such thing as an IR cable. Infrared transmission is light...the very point of using it is so you have no cable.

The link does exist, says so on this very web page. I'm just wondering if there are still people that make the cable still.

There is no such thing as an IR cable. Perhaps you are referring to IR transmitter/receivers?

Yes the web site link does exist, click the link. The web page has directions on how to make an IR LINK. The web site also says that you can purchase the IR link from various web sites but most of URL's are dead.

Ye gods, man! Is it really that hard to understand? There is NO CABLE used in an IR link. That's all he's saying!

YE GODS MAN! All I'm saying is it is called an IR LINK and when I said cable I meant you connect a cable to a IR device, which connects in your IO port. This device does exist and the design for it is listed on this web site. I'm not talking about an internal device in the calculator itself, meaning it does require a cable to hook into the IO port. Hence it is a IR LINK. :-)

The link itself is wireless. The hardware has a wire.

But I own one.
It came with a RIS (Robitics Invetion System) 1.5 Lego Set.

BRIAN:
IR means 'infrared', as in LIGHT.
There is no such thing as an IR CABLE. It's be like having a tube to guide a satellite broadcast. The whole point of using IR connections is that there is NO CABLE.

(Click on link) This link will take you to a much better plan than the IR Link...it uses radio waves and doesn't require a direct line of sight...and is cheaper and easier. Very Nice! Too bad the schematics make NO sense to me. Maybe someone should make an EASY schematic plan to follow...maybe a picture tutorial...step by step...anyways here ya' go.

Hey, my friend is making that for me right now.

How is your friend coming along? I'm thinking of building one of these links myself.

You were the one who kept going to the calcsoft page, weren't you?

Aaaaanyway, the schematics do look a bit confusing, but I don't know really anything like that about electronics, so I wouldn't expect it to make that much sense.

It seems weird to me that the copper wire (ground) isn't connected to anything...wouldn't that make it not work??

I'm not an electronics wizard or anything, but don't you need it to be connected to make a circuit? (I'm basing this off Kerm's statement)
