The Timex DataLink wrist watch has a way of transfering data from the 
computer to the watch.  I believe that this method of data transfer would 
be possible for the 85.  The program for the watch flashes a series of 
barcodes on the monotor, the watch has a light sensitive "eye."  If the 
hardware experts on this list could make an "eye" attachment that would 
stick in the port of the calculator that would transform the light pulses 
into data for the calculator, then this might be possible.  Also, if 
someone could get their hands on the Timex program mentioned above, it 
shouldn't be to hard to manipulate for our purposes.  


This whole idea may be completely impractical, but if we're considering 
teleconf, this shouldn't be too hard.
