Re: TI85



The link is easy since you're building the parallel one.  All you need is a
DB25 male connector, two silicon diodes and a 2.5mm stereo -> 3 bare wires
cable, which you can find at Mouser.com.  Yeah, you'd regret not having a
switch mainly because if you send or receive at turbo from a calc that's
not turbo, know what's gonna happen?  Also, playing games at a speed too
fast (like tetris at 5.9x the original speed) is no fun!
