TI-GRAPH LINK 2 for Macintosh is compatible with all TI

graphing calculators that have an input/output port, with

the following exceptions. The TI-82 and TI-85 are not

compatible.

When new graphing calculators with I/O ports are released

by TI, the TI-GRAPH LINK software will be updated to

support those calculators.

To see which calculators are compatible with your version

of the TI-GRAPH LINK software, open the Connection

menu. If your calculator is not listed in the menu, check

the TI web site at:

http://www.ti.com/calc/docs/link.htm

for updated TI-GRAPH LINK software.

You can also use TI-GRAPH LINK 2 to open a connection

to the CBRèCBL 2è, and TI Presenterèaccessories,

available separately.

However, you cannot open a connection to the CBLè

(Computer-Based Laboratory) accessory.

You can use TI-GRAPH LINK 2 to open a connection using

a USB cable between the graphing calculator and

Macintosh computer provided that the Macintosh has an

available USB port. A USB connection provides faster

communication and better performance between the two

units than the gray cable connected to the modem or

printer ports.

The Macintosh used to run TI-GRAPH LINK 2 using the

gray TI GRAPH LINK cable must meet the following

hardware and software requirements.

• Any 68K or PowerPC-based Macintosh computer

running Mac OS 7.1 or better. (Exceptions: Macintosh

models 128K, 512K, 512 Ke, XL, Puls, SE, SE FDHD, and

Classic.)

• 4 MB of available RAM.

• Available modem, printer, or combined printer/modem

port, or other available serial port.

Note: You will not be able to drag items to or from the

Finder or other applications on systems running any

Macintosh operating system versions earlier than 7.5.

However, Add and Save Selection commands in the File

menu allow this functionality.

running Mac OS 8.1 or better, or Apple USB 1.1 or

better.

• Apple “SerialShimLib” extension installed prior to

installing the TI-GRAPH LINK USB driver.

G3 and G4 models). It can be added to the extension folder

of systems running Mac OS 8.1 with either built-in USB

(original iMacs), or systems that have installed a third-

party USB card and are using Apple’s USB Card Support.

Please note that support for Mac OS 8.1 is limited to the

original iMac computers only.
