Re: Accelerating the 85



Please do your research before you post :-P.

The info is from Mel Tsai's SF page, and since he wrote the driver
software, well...

Anyway, the reason is that the memory, is, well, memory, and memory is
supposed to be fast. Eventhough that link port is quite fast, it's not that
fast. Nor can the TI-85 grab the info quite that fast. The driver slows the
connection down appropriately, which in turn also causes a wrong alignment
between the linkport and the proc. again, the driver comes in. This
particular procedure goes screwy unless the TI085 is at factory speed.
