Pretty much you alternate multiple notes really fast, and the sound kind of blurs together.

For something other than simple beeps is really complicated to do, tho

There's a MIDI converter for Axe (link) and it seems like it's maintained.
Also squidgetx made a guitar-like program, I think it was called Axesynth.

As for playing, there's multiple ways--Trusound, DCS, and a few more I can't recall atm

Idk if there's a real song maker, sounds like a good project idea to me

1780: You have more than one toothbrush: one for you and one for each of your calcs.
1781: The calc's tooth keybrush is better than yours.
1782: You brush your calc's keys twice a day.  Every day.

I actually did this the other day, and it worked pretty well.  Even brushed out the msd8x adapter

1783: You've put glow-in-the-dark paint on your calc's keys so you can code easier at night (so it looks something like http://www.ticalc.org/images/news/1999-09-24-glowti.jpg)

EDIT: fixed numbering

Basically you just find a female a and a male mini-b or a (either will work atm, preferably mini-a b/c there's less work for later (and yes I know in the end it has to be mini-a but I dealt with that ??)), cut the cables, strip off some of the outside shell.  Keep the mesh-like stuff on.
Strip the colored wires on both sites, twist like colors together and wrap with electrical tape.
Kind of twist together or whatever the meshy part, tape together.  Wrap whole assembly in electrical tape.

Now, look at the smaller plug.

Which one does it look like?
If it's A, you're done and ready to use it.
If it's B, read this

or get yourself familiar with a soldering gun

You'll need to link pins 4 and x somehow to make it work.

As for the omni link, it's supposedly a "temporary" way to do it but I've had it that way with mine for quite a while now and it works..

Useful info and stuff.  Good idea to browse through for a while.

EDIT: there's also [wikiti]USBtools[/wikiti], which allows you to do stuff like use a keyboard or mouse.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask

How do these point vector things work exactly?  Afaict they're just line segments...?

I"m not sure if i asked for this already...at least in this thread
Something to simulate TIOS linking (compatible with the normal linking on the other end) but with an option to switch the data lines.  This would allow casio cables to work with Ti cables

EDIT: see bumped thread.

Yes it is.  Like eeems said, your code will only be fast if it's coded well.

I think with certain hardware revisions or something, the fix is needed b/c of bad lcd drivers.
