Total Posts: 465 | I am about to make a paralell link, and I want to know a few things from people who have them. Fisrt of all, how slow would you say the tranfer is compared to the usb link? Next, what are the chances of messing up? You may be wondering why I am actually making a paralell (homemade) link. It actually does a few advantages, I only mean, like, 2 advantages. First of all, I will be able to put stuff on my friend's 82. Secondly, I will be able to get a ROM image. Plus, it will just be cool to know that I actually have one... And finally it is cheaper than the graph link. But I DO kind of have a problem, I only one of my 3 computers actually has a 25 pin COM port (how lame). |

Besides, a self made link will not work with neither TI-Connect nor TI-Graph Link so you'll have to take chances with some user made linkers like TiLP or other ones. You may also just want to get a USB link since its easier to use, how swappable and gives you much faster file transfers than serial link.
