That pic based is supposed to be compatible with the old gray cable I think.
That is not necessary. Almost all link programs support the "BCC link" or
"$4 link".

I meant compatible in the meaning that there are more different link
programs (including TIs own) that support it.

Yes. There are some in the ticalc.org archives, and I have seen specs on
other sites too, but unfortunatly I have lost the URLs. search on google or
