Re: TI-H: TI <--?--> I2C



There is no MBus.  Under the restrictions made by Philips the standard must
be called 'I2C' and have atleast one authorized I2C device on the network,
none of which include a TI calculator.

You can use the I2C bus routines on your calculator only if you have a real
I2C device on the network.

The SDA and SDC lines are all connected in parallel and handshaking is
accomplished similar to 10b-t ethernet, but not totally the same.  All
grounds also have to be connected.
