Check to make sure you have the right diodes. I think that may be my
problem. Also, with Mo'Slo, I can send extremely small programs to the
calculator. The plug I am using came from a TI-92 also, but it is
tapered at the end like my 86 cable. That shouldn't be causing any
problems. Sometimes, CAL will give me a null pointer instruction (or
whatever it is), either having terminated itself, or after I exit. I
get that error when I exit CAL after it refuses to send programs at
all. The calculator reports just a code 38, rather than a code 38 +
program name. I don't know what to do about it, but I am working on my
own link program that will solve all these problems. I should be done
with it within a few weeks, given that I can get the information I
need. Good luck!
