Short: TI-85 Link software. Transfer variables/backups Uploader: Shawn D'Alimonte Type: comm/misc Requires: ixemul.library 45+, TI-85 calculator Authour: Shawn D'Alimonte ALink85 By Shawn D'Alimonte =========================== Copyright ©1997 Shawn D'Alimonte and ©1996 Jani Halme This program is covered by the GNU general license. See included file COPYING for more information. Thanks to Jani Halme and Per Finander for writing the useful code that much of this package is based on. See Acknowledgements in ALink85.doc for more info. What is it? =========== This is a link program to allow the transfer of variables and backups between a Texas Instruments TI-85 calculator and and Amiga. Currently only the $4 Serial link is supported as that is the one I have. I have also writen a crummy screen dump program. The plans for the link should be in the archive, but if not get the from www.ticalc.org Supporting other link adaptors should be fairly easy by re-writing getport(), setport() and initport() in tiport.c. See Compiling section for more info. Why? ==== Because I was sick of useing Link85X under an old version of PC-Task. It was slow, and only handled .85g and .85b files. All others had to be renamed to .85g. Requierments ============ ·Amiga - Should work on any amiga, tell me if it doesn't ·TI-85 calculator ·$4 serial link cable or another link cable and new port routines in tiport.c ·ixemul.library version 45 or higher. ftp.ninemoons.com is the best source for this as they always have the latest version ·Voltmeter if you want to test your link with linktest ·For prtscrn a Preferences supported printer that can print 128 columns of text (In Fine pitch >16 cpi) Contents ======== send85 -Sends variables to calculator recv85 -Receives variables from calculator test/linktest -Tests outputs of link cable test/recvtest -Shows received bytes prtscrn -Prints calculator screen using X's src/ -Source code TIDocs/ -The documentation I used while writing this program History ======= ver 0.9 - Last weekend First working version ver 1.0 May 21, 1997 0.9 worked fine with files received by it, but not true #?.85? files because I forgot about word ordering. Two days later I got it all. I hope :-) Wrote prtscrn just to see if I could do it. Added timeout routines to tiport.c Author ====== Send bugs reports, suggestions, comments, money :-) to: Shawn D'Alimonte aa600@torfree.net sdalimon@ee.ryerson.ca (For a few years anyway) ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 8425 4096 51.3% 22-May-97 22:48:50 +ALink85.doc 17976 6986 61.1% 18-May-97 23:49:56 +COPYING 181800 65722 63.8% 22-May-97 22:40:28 +prtscrn 187676 68332 63.5% 22-May-97 22:34:42 +recv85 186644 67877 63.6% 22-May-97 22:36:34 +send85 442 187 57.6% 18-May-97 22:58:18 +linktest.c 954 247 74.1% 22-May-97 22:41:48 +makefile 3633 1478 59.3% 22-May-97 22:17:58 +packet.c 698 383 45.1% 19-May-97 01:07:46 +packet.h 1770 770 56.4% 22-May-97 20:29:30 +prtscrn.c 7950 2567 67.7% 21-May-97 23:16:06 +recv85.c 747 324 56.6% 18-May-97 21:49:28 +recv85.h 156 122 21.7% 18-May-97 13:33:06 +recvtest.c 7019 2543 63.7% 22-May-97 18:29:54 +send85.c 2670 1100 58.8% 22-May-97 21:51:46 +tiport.c 673 371 44.8% 18-May-97 13:33:06 +tiport.h 391 265 32.2% 18-May-97 21:49:40 +version.h 175124 63172 63.9% 22-May-97 22:37:50 +linktest 174548 63035 63.8% 22-May-97 22:38:58 +recvtest 13996 13996 0.0% 23-May-97 10:22:04 +ti85fourbucklink.schematic.gif 3337 1428 57.2% 15-Jul-94 14:24:22 +85g.txt 521 306 41.2% 15-Jul-94 14:24:28 +85i.txt 361 195 45.9% 15-Jul-94 14:24:32 +85k.txt 647 332 48.6% 15-Jul-94 14:24:36 +85l.txt 1011 458 54.6% 15-Jul-94 14:24:40 +85m.txt 1431 676 52.7% 15-Jul-94 14:24:44 +85n.txt 1174 478 59.2% 15-Jul-94 14:24:46 +85p.txt 372 214 42.4% 15-Jul-94 14:24:50 +85s.txt 321 205 36.1% 15-Jul-94 14:24:54 +85v.txt 2210 898 59.3% 09-Apr-96 16:51:16 +92g.txt 726 356 50.9% 27-May-96 20:08:00 +files.txt 21076 8298 60.6% 16-May-97 22:11:00 +linkprot.txt 581 365 37.1% 16-May-97 22:11:00 +message.txt 3497 1497 57.1% 16-May-97 22:11:00 +port_7.txt 1313 700 46.6% 09-Apr-96 16:53:10 +readme.txt 24575 7167 70.8% 16-May-97 22:11:02 +ti-prot.txt 56776 19484 65.6% 16-May-97 22:55:14 +tilinkstuff.txt -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 1093221 406630 62.8% 23-May-97 22:29:58 37 files
