Just like to say I was sucessful at building the "$5" parallel cable
yesterday. Thanks to FAQ posted up on the net about it, it was fairly easy
and took me only 30 minutes to solder and build.


It works perfectly with both my TI-85 and my TI-92 using link85xp and
link92xp. Also, both programs have been working perfectly on my P5-133
(Tomcat-I Triton 430HX Chipset w/32MB RAM. Completely SCSI-2 Fast system)
and haven't noticed the "Fast Computer" problems some have claimed.
However I did turn EPP off on my parallel port and turned it into a
regular LPT port before I ran both link85xp and link92xp.


Here's another sucess story for you guys. Thanks!


Warmest Regards,

P.S. Too bad I can't install ZShell on my TI-85. It's so ancient that is
has ROM 2.0. :)
