Re: A92: great idea
It really wouldn't be a bad idea if someone made a program (in assmebly)
that handled all sorts of link functions... Already, the tios
incorporates basic send/recieve capability, but that is about it. There
are all sorts of cool things that computer programs can do that a direct
calc/calc link cant... Namely, send/recieve backups, recieve a directory
listing, screen dumps, and remote control (not necessarily useful, when
you have only have a two foot cord connecting calcs, but with an ir or
radio link...) It would be great if a program containing any/all of
these features was made... This program would only be needed on one
calc, if we could "emulate" the way a computer communicates with the
calc... There are some pretty good docs on 92<>PC linking out there, so
it would seem as if it wouldn't take too much work...
