$5 link

I'm seriously considering making the $5 parallel link but i have a few
questions.


I've seen some contradictory info about using a 2.5mm jack.  On Nick's
TI calc site (http://www.salokin.demon.co.uk/ti85.htm) he says to make it
with a 2.5mm stereo jack. But on Andreas Westfeld's page
(http://www.inf.tu-dresden.de/~aw4/ti85) it says "the TI plug is different
from a 2.5 mm stereo plug".  I don't want to cut up my calc2calc link, and
i'd prefer not to use a 1/8 jack + 1/8 to 2.5 converter, and i'd really
like to stay away from aligator clips.  I went to radio shack and they had
2.5mm jacks , but they were mono, so that doesn't help. Does anyone know
where i can get a 2.5 mm jack, and if i do manage to get one, will it
work?
