Boot a PC using a TI-89 Titanium Graphing Calculator

@roberto366 Suppose you are in a situation where you have the calculator but no properly-formatted USB stick and you need/want to get into a computer. For example, a classroom where laptops, cell phones, USB storage, etc. are banned. You could get into that computer's administrator account and mess around, and no one would suspect you used a calculator to do it. Or perhaps you just don't have a properly-formatted USB flash drive laying around and you need to use this boot disc.

That's cool. I don't know if I have that cable. I had to buy one from TI for about $22 that has a circuit board in the middle of it, so I could transfer my compiled C programs to my TI-89 Titanium. But your cable looks like a regular USB cable.

Yes, and all school pc I have seen, the bios is WIDE open, so every pc I touched could have been usable by only me till tech support got to it, in about 5 years. I never did it. :-P
