| You might have to have a driver or something for it. |

1) That means transmission error. Make sure it's plugged in all the way and make sure you hit Receive on the receiving calc before you hit Send on the sending calc.
2) I don't think the 84+ OS works on the 83+ (completely different version numbers) |

I'm pretty sure you can't send the 83+ OS to the 84+. So you can link your 84+ to the computer but not your 83+? Oh right, those things come with mini-usb link cords.  |

| You can make your own cable though with some of them you have to use TILP rather than Ti-connect. They are rather easy to make if you have any soldering know how. See http://www.ticalc.org/hardware/cables/ for details. |

| Well, that's the issue. The poor guy [post="133671"]can't get TiLP working and doesn't have a serial or parallel port[/post]. |

| I don't see another way besides buying a silverlink cable. Also, you might want to check the 2.5 mm cable with a multimeter to see if it works correctly. |
