Total Posts: 14 | Okay, I made a parallel cable for Ti-86, but it gives transmission error 38 when trying to send files to calculator.
I use Windows xp and my mainboard is MSI k8t neo. I use wtran8x to transmit files. There is also an pc from year 1996-1999, if the cable won't work at new pc:s. But if that year 1999 pc isn't enough old, I have also 386 at storage :P
I have checked all the connections and wires etc. I use 1N4148 diodes and 560 ohm resistors. I also scraped some metal from 2.5mm plug so that it can fit in calc's port.
Edit: Not working at 1999 pc, gives some sparks and shutdowns the pc... Don't know if that destroyed the diodes :(
Edit2: Haha, it wasn't even parallel port where i tried to plug it... I need to change diodes and try again :D |

Transmission link error 38

and that second line is obviously just what program you tried sending, it shouldnt mean much.

Are you going into receive mode on the 86, or are you leaving it on the homescreen? The 86 has a silent link, so you shouldn't need to put it in receive mode, which is when you get errors like link error 38.

It's very odd that it would only work one way.
