This item is great. It allows my daughter to uplink through her TI calculator and download.

I'm a physics student and have been using my TI-83 a lot lately. The programing feature is actually very useful...I thought that I would be able to increase it's usability with the USB cable. My plan was to write more complex programs with an emulator and then upload them to the TI-83.
Emulators aren't that easy to get running for one thing, and all they do is make it easier to type in the commands...That's it ...
Worthless...in fact, if you really want to get into math, start programming in a high level language and buy an inexpensive laptop and take that to school...don't waste your time with calculators...
Although, HP makes a very good calculator which is comparable to the TI-89 Titanium although less expensive.

The graphlink is a wonderful gadget for the TI-83. It is an instant receiver and sender of applications and documents.
A+++++++
Yes, this cable works with the TI-86 calculator in WIndows XP!! January 30, 2007

I saw the previous post regarding a customer who stated he had no problem using this cable with his TI-86. I was hesitant because he didn't state which operating system he was using. I can now confirm that this cable will work with Windows XP. Make sure to use the TI-Connect software and NOT the TI-Graphlink software! VERY IMPORTANT as only the TI-Connect software supports the TI-86 via the USB connection option. Make sure to download the latest version from the Texas Instruments (TI) website. As of 29 January 2007, the latest TI-Connect software version is 1.6. And you must have the Microsoft .NET Framework Windows Updates installed prior to installing the TI-Connect software. Last, but not least make sure you have the calculator turned on before connecting the USB cable to your computer!
It took Texas Instruments long enough to add support for the TI-86 to its TI-Connect software! I guess I can't complain as they did finally listen to their customer's complaints. Goodluck with whatever math course you have waiting ahead of you!
Worst TI-86 compatibility ever January 21, 2008

After reading the reviewer who provided the information on making this work with the 86 I was encouraged to buy one of these SilverLink cables. Unfortunately, TI's overt reluctance to include the TI-86 in their initial release of the TI Connect software extends well into this product.
This cable arrived new in the package and was little more than a $20.00 hassle. 86 owners beware, YMMV with this one. The TI Connect software and TiLP softwares have a really big compatibility issue with the SilverLink and TI-86. The best solution to this dilemma is to buy a TI-89. I think its low of Texas Instruments to leave no other viable option.
