Hi Bruce: Don't know if you've gotten an answer to your question yet or not, but according to the Starpath website: http://www.starpath.com/catalog/accessories/starpilot/download.htm "The TI-Connect program does not work for TI-86. The program you need for an 86 is called TI-GraphLink. There is a copy on the TI-connectivity Kit CD and on the Resources CD that comes with any new TI-86. Or you can download a copy from the link given above. Also, the USB cable from TI will not work with the TI-86. You will need one of their "black" cables for PCs or "Gray" cables for Mac, or you can use our PC Link Cable for the TI-86." Hope that helps, good luck. -- GregR --- bruce hamiltonwrote: > > I picked up a TI-86 for next to nothing and am attempting to do the > pre-install of Starpilot, but seem to be stuck between 2 ages of > technology.
