Title: Question about USB Link and TI82
Post by: utz on March 09, 2013, 10:37:29 am: So I always assumed that TI's USB cables don't work with TI82, since that's what everybody says (including TI).
However, after reading this post (http://ourl.ca/18465/340700), I'm starting to wonder... if the SilverLink works for TI86, why shouldn't it work for TI82 as well? I mean, if it doesn't work with TI82, then the problem would be due to lack of software support rather than hardware issues, right?

Hope someone can shed some light on this.

There's no option for the TI-82 or the TI-85 in the drop down menu, and TI connect fails to find it (I have the old style TI-82). As far as graphlink software goes... I can't remember. If it supports the Silverlink (I think it did), it should undoubtedly support the TI-82. I have no idea where my graphlink software is at right now though. As for TILP, I don't have it installed, so I can't check.

Post by: TIfanx1999 on March 24, 2013, 10:25:34 am: As far as I know yes. I can't get Megaman 86 to send to my TI-86. I'm sure there were others, but I remember that one specifically.
