not really.... teh problem is that teh hp48 has a proper UART in it:
it communicates using proper rs232... now although it is posible to
emulate rs232 in software, you can't on teh ti-85 because of teh
varibel clock speed... RS232 needs v. accurate timing..
what you could do is make a little microcontroller decie taht
translates the ti-85's warblings to rs232 - almost exacly like the
ti-graphlink, in fact... this would prove very useful for a lot of
things...
