Re: A86: Link Support----TI Docs
If the serial link works for the 85, it should work for the 86. The
graphlink works for all of them, and it also uses
a serial cable. I bought a graphlink serial cable only for $35 dollars, then
your guaranteed for a year. Thats better
then having someone else do it and it breaks a week later..
The 86 is a souped of 85. It has more memory, a total of 128K, and over 90K
for available! It also lets your
program Z80 assembly right on calculator, I guess it has a built in
assembler. It also has the improvements of
the 82/83 and the look of the 83.
I hope the TI releases more info on the 86 too! Like asm stuff...
Once it becomes more popular, I'm sure they will more willing to do so.
TI-86 will run all of TI-85 basic programs... the asm programs should be
roughly similar to
83 asm programs.
