RE: TI-H: Add LEDs to your link cable!
In the parallel link, no zener's are used... just plain old diodes... I
still am not sure what exactly the problem is... I think I'll go play with
my multimeter and see the difference with LEDs

Well, for the $4 link, the Zener diodes limit the voltage reaching the
calculator to 5V, and I don't think LED's have any kind of voltage
control, so you may be getting more than 5V to your calc... I think?
