Need help on the 85 manual.
OK, I am hoping someone can help me out with this.
A friend of mine bought (and later returned) a TI-85 about a year ago. I have
had mine for about two years.
After looking at the manual that came with my friends I realized it was
different than mine. I am not sure what the cause of
this is but I am sure TI has it figured out. :-) Well, anyways, I tried one of
the things I saw in his book that wasn't in mine, on
my calculator. I wish I knew it's BIOS version, because the commands didn't
work. Well about 9 month's ago I accidently
dropped my 85 on the floor and it no longer worked. I called tech support and
after an hour we couldn't figure it out. So
they sent me a new calculator and a "mail-back" envolope. So I sent them the
old dead one and procedded to use my
NEW TI-85 (which I now know is a BIOS 9.0) and tried using that command that I
had seen in my friends manual. Sure
enough it WORKED! SO, then I called TI and ordered the updated book for $3 but
when I got it, it was the same as the one
I had, and of course they had no idea what I was talking about. :-) So now I
want to find out what the heck is different in
the manuals. The one command I remeber is the CBLGET for the link. I need a
copy of the page that covers that and the
send command, and any other link commands. If anyone has a GIF or JPG image of
these pages, or even PDF, or any
generic text format, I would love to have them. I have called TI and they
insist the manual is the same. Someone out
there must know what I mean!
