Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Texas Instruments Graph-Link Serial Cable for Windows

Customer Review: An excellent buy. Very handy to have.
Summary: 5 Stars

The software for different calculators (I have linked to the TI-83, the TI-85, and the TI-86) is more or less the same; the confusing thing is that every calculator has a different procedure for linking. With some (such as the 86), you must be at the home screen; with others (such as the 85), you must be in receive (or send) mode.

One warning, however: This cable ONLY works with Windows. If you're a Mac user, you must buy the other (and more expensive) all-purpose cable. Amazon.com sells this cable as well.

All in all, I would highly recommend buying a Graph Link. Make sure you have an available serial port, plug the cable in and go. Have fun playing Tetris. :-)

Use the TI-Graph Link to create and edit programs right on your screen while still having all your usual calculator functions. The program protection feature allows you to prevent editing after a program has been loaded onto your calculator. You can transfer both screen shots and files from your computer to your calculator. You can also store your calculator's programs and data on your computer or make backups of your graphing calculator's memory.

The TI-Graph Link for Windows supports Windows 95, 98, and NT 4.0; supports EGA, VGA, XGA, and SVGA video adapters; and supports 3.5-inch floppies, CD-ROMs, or an Internet connection. For Windows 95/98 users, an 8 MB RAM module is available; and for NT 4.0 users, a 16 MB RAM module is available. Included with the cable is a CD-ROM with software and a guidebook. The TI-Graph Link for Windows comes in black and is compatible with the TI-73, TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-86, TI-89, TI-92, TI-92 Plus, and other models that may be available in the future.
