WTB: USB cable for TI-86

[Calibretto]

ok so I need a cable that is USB and the other end is an I/O that plugs into the TI-86. If anyone has one to sell, I might buy it.

 

[The_Other_One]

I only have a serial one and I'd like keep it for mine... But just a word of warning. Don't get a serial cable and try to use a USB to Serial converter. At least mine won't work...

i have one for the ti-84...do u think they are the same?

 

[The_Other_One]

They are the same.

 

[lb562high]

oh then i might be willing to sell it since i dont use it at all....its brand new!

Well, I think they are... Are you refering to the small one that looks similar to a headphone jack(much smaller) or the one that's basically just a mini USB.

Crummy picture, but this is what he's looking for(on one end, of course )

I know what he wants...but many of the newer TI calcs have a USB and an older style transfer cable. Calibretto wants what I have, but with USB rather than the 9 pin connector on it

It's just a mini USB cord, you can buy them for a couple bucks on Newegg.

wrong.. there is a USB -> that round mini jackplug of the calculators
Its called Silverlink.. I have one with my Voyage200 =o

I made these pic's of it.. hope they help you find one

 

[footballstevo75]

Yes, I believe I have one.

Came with my brothers TI-83+.

I have the TI-84 silver, but it only came with the mini usb and plug to connect it to another calculator.

How much is reasonable?

 

[Calibretto]

Archangel has the right idea. I want want of those so I can transfer calc games from my PC to my TI. I don't know how much they're worth.

to transfer stuff from the computer to the calculator, you just need a regualr usb cord...

Not for the older calculators...

he said he had a ti-86.....

The original TI86 was introduced in 1997, and has remained basically unchaged since. The only calculators that have USB ports are the TI-84's and the new TI-89's.

Don't beleive me, go look it up yourself.
