It would be easier to simply write a program that looks like Windows
explorer.  The TI-8x doesn't behave like a network interface, so it would
be a real kludge to get it to work as such.

There are other problems, too.  For instance, the user must initiate a
send or receive on both the calculator and the computer.  The computer
cannot request that the calculator send (or receive) a file unless the
calculator has been set (via the keypad) to send (or receive).
