Re: TI-H: Help! Serial Link! Please advise!
actually most computers have 2 serial ports.. ones the one you plug into your
mouse. The other looks like a printer port, just has male pins instead of
female.. so if you buy a gender changer for your link.. it might work.. also
theres a $4 parelel link. Takes a few bucks in parts, maybe not even that if
your a parts hog.
