I have a Mac Performa 637CD, as you see an older model at home.
I have the TI-86 Link and have found it to work for me. It is
different from the TI-85 and the TI-92 link sowtware. The two problems I
have had found are: It is very slow and in very difficult to know just
what you are doing. It does not feel like a Mac program.
Rather it feels kind of clumsy, kind of like a Windows program.
I have found that the calulator must be on for the software
to work properly. That seems silly, but the calculator does
turn itself off.
If you want to sent new files to the TI-86. Drag and drop the files
onto the open window that shows your calculators files.
Good Luck
