Last Update on:6/7/01

I have received many e-mail regarding the link software, and I have not answered to a large number of them. If you sent me an e-mail and did not receive any response, then please accept my appologies and send it again. If you have any problems then please send an email to the list. Be sure also to read the list archive before posting.

New: Check this new page for Modifying the TI-GraphLink program to support the Parallel Link.

W32Tran8x 4.1 can be downloaded now. FLASH programs and ROM updates are supported in this version.

In version 4.1, flash support has been tested on the TI89 and is working properly. However, if you are having problems with it, the other solutions to make flash transfers are:

TI-GraphLink with homemade serial link.
Modified TI-GraphLink with homemade parallel link.
Use the excellent VTI Emulator under Windows 9x/ME only ( not NT/2000 ), which supports linking using any cable. Use the ROM from TI and make the emulated calculator send the ROM to your calculator.

Linking software available:

W32Tran8x 4.1 for Win32.
WTran8x 3.4 for Win16.
W32Tran8x 2.0 for Win32.
Tran8x for DOS.
