Michael, I don't know which one of these I'm more surpised by: The fact that you got the WikiTI link wrong (it's wikiti.denglend.net, not msd8x.denglend.net), or the fact that nobody has pointed it out yet.

Also, see my "Web Page" link for more information.

This is the correct WikiTI link...

It's the link to the documentation, not WikiTI itself. Click it yourself and see that it does go to the msd8x documentation.

Could we get the manual in nice PDF files like on DS? Then I could print it out... Also, does it support picture loading from the BASIC interface?

The msd8x manual is only one page. The usb8x interface documentation is...a lot. :)

To load pictures from the BASIC interface, you can import the picture in Pic1-Pic0 and then display it. See web page link in this post.

Argh...link didn't work, but ImportVariable is what you want.

Then he should have linked the word "Information" to that page, and the word "WikiTI" should still link to the main WikiTI page.

No, I think I linked it correctly (which is why no one else has said anything).

I do have the same problem...

I bow to my calculator overlords. Great job.

WOW!! This is a LOT of comments for such a short period of time.

because this is an important moment in calculator history.
and not just calculator history, but world history.
(if historians knew what was important)

Precisely. At last we have broken free of the 1.5 Mb archive limit. At last we can use flash drives as external hard drives. At last...well, in any case, this is one more reason to love my 84+ SE! (as if I didn't already have enough reasons!)

As mentioned so many times above, thank you thank you thank you!!!

And I did not originally have a female > male USB-A cable so I successfully spliced a male-female USB and the USB-A end of the USB-B > USB-A cable (the calc to calc one) together. So thanks to Dan Englender especially Re: the USB controller interface.

It's the first time I've ever spliced cables and yes it did take me more than an hour and a half; but hey thats $10 saved, right?

One gig on an 84+ SE is so not overkill. I think i've already used 18KB.

Congratulations on making the cable. The mini-A/mini-B plug issue can be annoying, but using the calc<->cable was a good idea.

That should've been "calc<->calc cable", but it was probably obvious.

I put up the number of what I'm using -- search "Shack"...I got a cable with the following interchangable ends:

A-male
A-mini male
B-male
B-mini male
A-female

you can push on any combination desired -- and it's good for more than just a calc. The only catch is you can make non-compliant cables so you have to be sure to make one that will work.

I have nearly every good game ever written for the calculator and most of the really good apps, and Ive stilled used less then 500Kb, the only thing you could legitimately need that much space for on a calculator would be

1) entire 83+ basic games archive (who needs 700 copies of guess the number?)

2) media files

more specifically for the 83+ series...

It depends on what you count as good games, doesn't it? ;-)

most of the ones that don't crash my calc ;)

you could fill up the whole archive with all the flash apps/priority progs and then store the games and such on a flash drive

here's what I'm doing:

1. copy entire "My TIData" folder to a SanDisk 256 Mini Cruzer

2. I can access any program I want to without having to pick and choose

3. run my batteries into the dirt

lol but the great thing is flash drives are practically nil to the batteries. I know that backlighting a calc screen tends to be more tasking on them (which would make sense since that uses 3-6x the LED's)

ah, but all the processing power drains them faster
