Is there anyway to use your HP-50g (or equivalent) as an input device to your computer? I couldn't find anything other than the minimally featured HP CalcPad [1] and TI's offering in the wrong direction [2]
Is there a market for something like this?

- nitrogen 15y agoYou could find or write a program that uses the TI calcualtors' link port to send keystrokes to the computer via a USB or parallel port adapter. I made a parallel port adapter in junior high or high school (can't remember exactly when) to load games and math aids onto my TI-85 and later TI-89, and the interface could definitely be used for sending keyboard commands with the right software on both ends. Edit: it may also be possible to interface to an iPhone through the audio jack, and it would definitely be possible to use the IOIO (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2423609 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2423609) to interface with Android.
