-
- This is an alpha release of Sashi89, a TI89-Amiga communication tool.
- In order to use this software, you will need a serial cable, like the one
- needed by many other softs on PC.
- Some users reported that Sashi89 works with the official TI link.
- Please see dedicated TI-websites for a paper on how to build cables.
-
- Usage
- -----
-
- The software is quite easy to use :
- 1. Connect your Amiga to your TI,
- Be aware : you have to connect your cable to the standard serial port
- of your Amiga ( corresponding to serial.device,0 ).
- 2. Launch Sashi89 from the shell, in order to see useful informations,
- 3. Click on 'folders'.
- This should list all folders of your TI.
- If you have an error -1, that means timeout. Check that your TI is on,
- wait some seconds, then try again.
- If it still doesn't work, there is something wrong in the link.
- 4. Double click on a folder to list its content.
- 5. Select file/variable and click on send/get to transfer.
