Hows a wireless 2.5 mm cable?
if that is possible, a whole bunch of other possibilites are also made possible:
-Instant Messaging
-Wireless 2-P player
-Wireless Internet, if paired with CalcNet2.2 and such.
-ALOT OF OTHER THINGS!!!
Welcome to Cemetech, asi14; feel free to
Introduce Yourself when you get a chance. I'm glad you're so enthusiastic about calculator hardware, and this is indeed something that we've thought a lot about. We've been (slowly)
making a prototype of a wireless CALCnet adapter that plugs into the top of the calculator, but between a total lack of time and a few concerns about potential cheating, we haven't gotten a chance to finish the project.
well, the obvious adapter would be obvious on tests.
That was the thought
we do not promote cheating in that sense. But it would be easily removable for tests and repluggable afterwords no doubt ^^

Thankfully the hardware will be interchangeable on that. The software side is all that needs changing. But to the adapter it will be the same calc/model ^^
Presumably we could make it fit any of the calculators with the I/O and USB ports at the top, like the monochrome and color TI-84 Pluses and the TI-89 Titanium, as you say. I think the physical design is the least of our problems at this point.
Agreed we need to actually get together a protoboard and start working on a proto software. But we need a Tari for that lets dump more schematics on him!
I think someone already made an IR Link for wireless, but its really out of date.
