The TI-Graph Link is the older link cable produced by TI. It does not have as high of data transfer rate, but it does work with almost all calculators. It connects to your serial port and like TI Connect is widely used to transfer data files (such as programs) between your calculator and your computer.

Assembly language programming capability is built into the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. Asembly programs that have been previously made for the TI-83 Plus should be compatible and work with the TI-84 series of calculators. However any assembly programs made for the TI-83 will not work without modification of the code.

For software development, we recommend Brass, included with the Doors CS SDK, or SPASM.
