Where to get TI-86 Cable??

[EnragedPC]

I need to get the cable that allows me to hook up to my computer and download stuff to the calculator...and the cable that lets me link to another calculator...its for a TI-86...where can I get them?

Graph Link is the one that allows internet connection. You can get it for like $15. The cable that allows connection between two calcs come with the calculator. If you bought it used, and it didn't come with it, you're screwed.

it's the same cable. If you goto Staples, they carry the graphlink for $15-20, as does Best Buy and every other major electronics store. The single male to male cable will work on ANY ti-graphing calc for calc-to-calc transfers, however, not all ti calc are compatible with each other. For example, a ti-83 can only "link" with another 83. A ti-85 can only send and receive with another 85. BUT...a ti-86 can receive from an 85, but not send.

You could play some games across different calculator versions though.. ZTetris was fun.

hey! i was thinkin about getting one for my ti-86 too! i looked it up on ebay, and they sell it for less than 10 bucks, so its a good deal. they are all serial cables tho, i rather have usb but they don't have those.
