Im getting a TI83 later today or tomorrow and I purchased a normal 2.5mm to USB cable instead of the Silverlink cable, can I still use it, even if I have to install third party software. All I need to use it for is transferring programs.
Thanks!
And sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, im new to this forum.

I did some quick research and I honestly don't know. It might work fine.

Thanks, I really hope it does as I wasn't completely sure.

My cable has arrived although my calculator has not (it was supposed to arrive today). I’m hoping it arrives tomorrow or the day after because after that I’ll be living in a new house.

I honestly doubt, that it will work with psiwin ti connect. My silverlink usb cable has got some weird electronic stuff on the inside, so it probably does some conversion. But fear not, because not everything is lost: if you manage to make your usb port appear as a COM port (aka serial port), your adapter might be similar enough to a "5$ link" or "directlink" cable to work with TILP (an open-source ti calculator linking program - you can find it on ticalc.org). Good luck! ;)
