Well, after getting discouraged by that cable, i decided to rebuild one
from scratch. the new cable also passes the link test, getting the
desired pinout results, but it is still not functioning properly. i
tried to do a calc-to-calc link with my calculator, which worked fine,
disproving the theory that the port on my ti-83 is bad. IT is making a
connection in some sence of the word, as the programs i am using do
report errors such as "header too large" and such. i did use a ti calc
link cable for the 2.5mm jack, so i don't think that could be the
broblem either. anyone have an idea as to what might be the problem? any
help would be apricated. if you can't help me with the parallel cable,
could someone please post a copy of the plans for the serial link? if i
can't get my cable working, i could always try building that one.
Thanks
