You can make your own link for only 5$ worth of parts from radio shack.
(It also helps if you can solder or know someone that can). If you can't
find a 2.5mm stereo mini-plug, I would just cut up the link cable. ( I just
added another plug on mine so i can still use the link cable and the
computer link cable.) Of course this cable is not compatible with the
Graph-Link, but is supported by connect-85. I've also heard of ppl selling
these links on the web for 10$ as well.

My version of the link-cable is about $5:


        - 2 Si-diodes
        - Sub-D 25 male plug (for the parallel port of the PC)
        - 2.5 mm stereo plug
        - cable


parallel port pin:

Then I patched the LINK85X.EXE to use the LPTs instead of the COMs (a
log is appended to this posting). LINK85X.EXE is free available
(thanks TI). You have to unpack the exe-file before patching using
debug. An unpacked-patched version is available:
http://www.inf.tu-dresden.de/~aw4/link85.lzh (73145 Bytes).


I use this cable with this programm and it works fine. If you
have any
comments please send me an email. I hope to help some other poor
students with this posting. If you are programming a new link
software
I would like to implement this new parallel port adapter. The
next
thing I'm looking for is a ti85-program editor for pc - anyone
heard
about something like this?
