Just out of curiosity, does anybody know how the passive link works on the 86?
I know that you can send&receive variables from the calc without doing anything
on the calc, but...
Pilot organizers (The original ones) have 512k of memory, and you can get them
used for next to nothing ($50-$60).  Wouldn't it be possible to rig a cable for
the link and then write some connection software?  It'd seem a much simpler
solution than what is being disussed, and it wouldn't require additional
software for the 8x (meaning, you could back-up your calculator before those
tests where the teacher wants to erase everything.
