I have revision F, and it works with msd8x.  The port is only hooking up to the LCD directly, if I recall correctly, so that shouldn't deal with extra ram pages or not.

The problem you are having is that you have a mini-B cable plugged into your calc, which is only for peripheral mode.  I did the same thing until brandonw told me that you needed a mini-A to female-A cable, which you can find online.  This is because the mini-A has the ID wire grounded, which identifies it to the calc as being host, or in other words, the calc sees that there is a cable there, regardless of what is at the other end.

I didn't get the program working, it would be impossible.  USB8X seems to mess with USB a little.  I assume it places a hook or something.

Anyway, you will need the mini-A cable to something to get it to work.  mini-A to female A for other devices.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but this might help.  I wasn't able to find a mini-A adapter so I just changed a mini-B to mini-A.
And you do need the extra ram pages.

Spoiler For how to check revision letter:
Look at the back of the calc.  There should be a serial number.  The very last charactor should be a letter.  That letter is your revision.

I'd say it's worth the try. Some programs will fail completely if the extra pages aren't present, but I believe MSD8x might work to a certain extent if they're not there.

I think the 0409 part means it was made in April of 2009. Mine has 0909. I do know that mine has one extra RAM page, but that is all (to my knowledge, anyway). I have not actually tried MSD8x on this new calculator, but the only peripheral I can hook my calc up to would be my PSP (that's all I have a cord for). Also, I personally don't need that much memory yet :D I still have about 1.25 MB of memory that I haven't touched, yet (or to put it another way, I've used 1/6 of my memory, and I still have apps that I don't actually use).

One of the adapters in this kit is mini-b male to normal-a female.  Using the trick to change a mini-b to mini-a, it's useful.

is there a chance that my cable will be unuseable if the trick goes wrong. more specific: could it ruin my calc usb port? btw, i already have the cable ;)

It is very unlikely.  All you do is put a small piece of aluminum foil in the plug on the adapter.

Protip: you don't need MSD8X to use the MSD driver in USB8X. You can use the BASIC interface to read and write files, but you have to memorize the exact file names.

And yes, this means you don't need the extra RAM pages.
