RE: TI-H: TI-Graphlink
Yeah, I know that the Graphlink has a totally different setup and a
slower bps rate than the parallel link. I'm just trying to find out how is
it that the graphlink is compatible with most computers while some people
are still having problems with transmission between the computer and the
calc.
