Re: TI-H:calc 3.5mm plug


Since 2.5mm plugs that fit the calc are so hard to find and the 2.5mm jacks
even harder, I decided to cut my link cable in half and add a 3.5mm female
on one half and a 3.5mm male on the other. Now I can use normal 3.5mm stereo
plugs for addons and even get an extension to the link cable (normal 3.5mm
audio cable, 2m works fine).

P.S. You actually should be able to tell the 2.5mm plug from the 3.5mm one
just by looking if you ever want to do something audio related for
example...
