Re: PLEASE HELP -- TI-86 GRAPHLINK PROBLEMS
Serial ports are COM ports in DOS/Win
Parallel ports are LPT ports in DOS/Win
You probably need to change the COM port in the link software to the one
that
you are using. Most likely COM1 is used by your modem, unless you
upgraded.
But, try using different COM ports in the link software set up.
