Re: TI-H: Strange TI-86 Link Problem
I don't know if this is it or not, but if you have a long cable there is
often interference, especially if you are using nicad batteries. This
sounds like a problem I had, and sometimes holding the cable in both
hands worked. If it is a long cable, you may just want to shorten it.
