Obviously you don't know much about TI-85s. Go plug the link into an
outlet, and watch the 120/240 volts blow your calc (How long do think it
will take him before he realizes that a 2.55 mm stereo plug won't fit into
an electrical outlet?).
HELLO! Why do you think MAGNUS designed Connect 85 the way he did? You
think he made to make it look pretty?? Lets settle this. Ask Magnus if
the $4/$5 cables have a chance of malfunctioning and frying your calc. If
he can confirm that this is not true, I will make a variation of the offer
someone esle made. I will send you a check for $46.
