WinXP 32 bit
Ti-89 (from about 1999)
Silver cable
So I was trying to update my OS to the newer version and something went horribly wrong.
Now if I use the TIConnect OS loader I get the error "Cannot transfer. The connected TI device does not support this data type 8C0200F
I managed to update the TI-84 though. Now my Ti-89 asks me to hit I to install. Then it just says waiting to receive. If I do send it then it will get between 4% and 40% done before giving me that error message. The 2nd, arrow keys, on button trick doesn't do anything. If I open up DeviceInformation it will find my 89, but after hitting select it says it cannot get information from this device. |

Yeah, TI-Connect sometimes blurts out such stupid messages as a sudden "The connected TI device does not support this data type" in the middle of a transfer, where it probably means "Transmission error".
Don't panic, as long as you can press i to install, your calculator isn't bricked ;)
Try uninstalling TI-Connect and using TILP II v1.11 ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/tilp/ ) instead. |

I put 1.13 onto another computer and couldn't figure out how to load an OS. I also think the USB cable installed it's own drivers and maybe that's why it's not working on this computer (yes, I have GFM and GTK now).
I hear the silver cable has it's problems, so I did purchase a black cable off ebay and hopefully that will be here someday next week.
I'll try 1.11, but where's the step by step instructions for this thing? |

| The SilverLink really has given me some trouble, how much did you spend on that black cable? Do I really need GFM to make TiLP2 work? |

Drag and drop from the right pane to the left pane, preferably on the line that reads "Operating System".
Before doing that, you need to configure the device TILP is connected to, by right-clicking on the top line of the left pane, and selecting "Change Device".

TI-Connect uses the TI-Connect drivers, TILP uses the TILP drivers, and those conflict with each other.

I haven't used one since years ago, after mine broke, but the 9-pin serial Black Link works on most desktop computers (old or new) and old laptops.

I'd be tempted to reply "use the ready-made installer"... which makes me think that perhaps I haven't understood what you mean ?
Quote: how much did you spend on that black cable?
You can find Black Link items for less than $10 + cost of transport.

No, you don't _need_ it. |

wait, you don't mean one must actually delete SilverLink.sys or whatever so that libusb0.sys will work, do you?

Awesome! It's working. Thank you so much for your help.
1.) Uninstall TiLP
2.) Uninstalled the USB Silverlink driver
3.) Installed TiLP
4.) Installed the usb driver
Took about 3 tries (transmission errors), but it finally loaded the OS.
Lordelo, the USB driver installation instructions can be found in usb_driver.html located in the TiLP's help folder. That's how I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver. |

Good to see your problem is solved 
Sometimes, like here and various other topics on multiple boards, TILP works better than TI-Connect does. Sometimes, as evidenced by the "TiLP won't work" topic in this section, TI-Connect works better than TILP does.
This is why one of the first suggestions, when someone reports a problem with either TILP or TI-Connect, is to try using the other program  |

Thanks for your help.
Soon I'll have two cables, one for each computer, and I'll have TIConnect on one and TiLP on the other. I'll be ready for anything. |
