Re: A83: networked calcs
Linking several ti:s wouldn't be THAT difficult, theoretically. Think about
it this way: You have a computer, with three links to three calculators.
You rewrite the linking program on your computer, so that whenever the
variable A is sent, the computer looks in it. The number that was in A
should be either 1, 2 or 3. Now all the following data from the calculator
that sent its A, will be forwarded from the computer to the calculator with
the number 1, 2 or 3 respectively. This is a somewhat stupid network
protocol, but it'd probably work. Now all you have to do is build a small
network hub (around a z80 with a flashrom or something) with three link
ports, that will handle this.
