Re: TIB: TI-89 Linking




The link software/link ports/everything else related suck.  Try taking out 
the link cable, turning off the calc, and putting the link back in.  If that 
doesn't work, just keep trying to receive while moving the link around.  
(Receive is easier because you can hit retry)
