Previously, I had TI-82 Stats.fr which is actually TI-83 Plus limited to basic TI-83 software, without flash support, etc...
The cable I made - parallel link, with cut-off original calc-to-calc cable - was working perfectly with it.
Then I got TI-83 Plus. The cable was too short, but calc was detected.
So I decided to extend cable. I didn't do anything except extending wires. I double checked all connections, diodes, resistors and everything was OK. But still, ever since I plugged that into calc and PC, there's nothing I can do to connect to calc via parallel link.
I tried reverting to original short cable, replaced diodes, replaced resistors, checked everything but nothing helps.
Interestingly, W32tran8x detects cable, and when I short the cable itself, it reports "Short circuit in cable or calc connected". But when I plug calc in, nothing happens and it doesn't show short circuit warning.
(Update) Of course I use TiLP to work with calc, but w32tran8x gives me this cable check feature.
So what's wrong? Is it possible that something inside calc is burned, and what?
P.S. I also ordered USB connectivity kit from eBay and I'm waiting for that to arrive.
