Re: Are HP and TI cables interchangeable Message #4 Posted by Marcus von Cube, Germany on 27 Nov 2009, 4:51 a.m., in response to message #3 by Crawl
The standard mini-USB cables are interchangeable. I keep one mini USB cable plugged into a USB hub all the time and just change the equipment on the far end of the cable, be it a TI or an HP or whatever fits the plug.
IIRC, modern TI graphic calcs come with a mini-USB to mini-USB cable. This is special because USB is meant to be master (PC) to slave (calc) only. They must have done some magic here. Here is an article about this "USB-on-the-go":
