The printer driver is in the works, and far as wifi/bluetooth…it’s sorta being worked on.

A USB flash drive app like the above, except for the TI-89 Titanium, would be a great start. Perhaps a WiFi/wireless Ethernet/Bluetooth adapter driver for secure calc-to-calc and LAN-calc linking (better than the IR link posted a long time ago), low-power scanner, USB printer driver, cellphone hacking/programming application–for cell phones with USB jacks, like the Motorola V360, and so many others…

At least get someone to make a low-draw USB light, fan, or “mug warmer,” LOL.

Seriously, though, I could imagine the implications of a portable programming system created with the new TI-84/TI-89 line of calculators…now we just need the people who are willing to break the code open.

Instead of the 2.5mm plug link cable, it uses USB-OTG. Some clever person has written a driver for the usb chip inside the calc. This is simply a fat driver and a gui that sits on top. I have even completed this mod; I will post pictures if necessary.

Oh and usb is a fairly difficult protocol to bit-bang IMO, but it has been done.

I don’t see nearly enough detail here to convince me this isn’t a hoax. What’s in the TI84? I don’t know much about them, but this seems akin to attaching a USB flash to a Commodore 64.

Then again, USB ports on PICs aren’t so uncommon these days. How hard is it really to bit-bang the USB protocol?

HP49g+ has an sd slot and a pretty decent ARM processor.

Hehe, now to find 1GB of calculator games.

PS: I just spliced my link cable and soldered an A socket into it; didn’t bother buying a new cable.

Anyone out there capable of writing a VM driver for this little wonder to see if I can get a gig of memory on a TI?

They’re almost indestructable (and students test this, throwing the $100 calc down stairs, under huge books, and the like) but they’re also just nicefor doing math and graphing. I’ve used mine for years and years and now its basically unnatural to use any other calculator (even for basic math, its nice to have that screen there)
Basically the reason there’s a following for these things is geeky students making things for everyone to play/use.
This is seriously the most amazing thing i’ve seen for them though.
