Ti 83plus (using Ti Silverlink, Graphlink)
Thank you for your support request @pandaboy6621! I actually bought a graphlink cable some time ago to start work on supporting it in ticalc-usb 🙂
However, I believe the protocol is quite different from communicating directly over USB so the library will need a pretty substantial refactor, and the time I'm spending on this project is quite limited. So it will probably be a while until I come around to this, unless another developer feels like adding support for this 😄
DBUS is indeed very different from DUSB (CARS).
Timendus/ticalc.link#33 is another issue which would benefit from DBUS support after refactoring the code to add the layers which are missing from ticalc-usb / ticalc.link . However, it requires even more work than this issue, since adding support for TI-68k file formats, and the specific capabilities of the TI-68k protocol, is necessary for that other issue, whereas this issue only needs support for modern TI-(e)Z80 files, which is already mostly available.
