Re: TI-H: "$5" Parallel Link
[Prev][Next][Index][Thread]
Actually it turns out I'm a moron, I figured it out about 3 seconds
after sending the message. I plugged it in and BAM! worked instantly.
I have no clue what I did differently, but it worked. Thanks for the
reasurrance. :)
Also, on ti-calc.org, there are plans to supercharge your calculater!
Looks great to me except I'm no electronics wizard, I'm only a freshman
in HS and there isn't any classes offered. Is this a safe way to do it?
or is there a way I could do it more easily?
