I have some kinda the same story to tell. I also received an adapter, but nothing I tried worked D: USBTools constantly gives me an error 0500(the first time), and error 0505 (all other times I try). what could be the problem? I tried connecting almost everything! Printers, mice, usb pendrives, but nothing worked! please help me too!I'm having this problem too... Except, everything results in error 0C00.
@Darl181: Are you having problems? I almost made one, but I couldn't bring myself to buy a cord just to cut in half for USB ends. I did the research though.Yes, I've tried to make two. Neither gave the slightest indication of working. 0C00 error.
Mini B doesn't work with calcs. At all. Except when the other end is plugged into a computer.LIES. All of the calc-to-calc link cables that come with the TI-84+ are mini-A on one end and mini-B on the other.

drives I've tried are an old Dane-elec 84mb and a sandisk cruzer micro skin 128mb.

small metal sheetWould a piece of aluminum foil work? And how did you make it stay in?
This obviously isn't the best way to get an A adapter, but it works.QFT.
The easiest way to tell if it's mini-a or mini-b is look at the shape on it. I wanna say that mini-A has a rounded little square thingey, whereas mini-b has a square little square thingey.That's so descriptive. :P

But I know what you mean.
Haha, I can't believe that I just did this. I made a usb mini A with a piece of aluminum foil. It doesn't fit all the way in the calculator (I probably used too much), but the calculator sees it as a mini A (bit 4 of port ($4D) is set).Thank you for the description. I will try it when I can.
1. Take a piece of aluminum foil 1 cm x 1 cm and smash it into a tiny ball.
2. Shove it into your mini B adapter.
3. Use something sharp (thumb tack) to smash it to the right side so that it connect the right most 2 pins.
4. Shove it in your calculator to smash it backwards.
Done!! To see if it really is a mini usb A, plug it in, turn the calc off, turn it back on. If there is a mega lag, You just made a mini usb A adapter!
