Take the cord and plug it in your computer

MS word 97...

If so, e-mail me the schematics and 86 program (or 85, I have an

Oh you mean on a calc!  :]

I've programmed an AVR to use the free keyboards at ComputerCity...  :)

It isn't calc specific since it outputs TI protocall...when ever a key is
pressed.

There aren't any apps for it yet since everyone in the hardware group knows
hardware but not ASM (well) and everyone in the asm groups thinks the
hardware group is insane...  :)

I'm working on a program that accepts input, stores it as a string so you
can use it in basic.  I could wip up a program that uses 86 VAT to do the
same, but you'd have to test it since my 86 is out of batteries...
