What are the different calculator linking capabilites for the TI-83 and TI-83 Plus?
Note: Most of the information in this FAQ are taken from both the TI-83 and TI-83 Plus Guidebooks.

Linking Two TI-83s
You can transfer all variables and programs to another TI-83 or backup the entire memory of a TI-83.

Linking Two TI-83 Plus Calculators
You can transfer all variables and programs to another TI-83 Plus or backup the entire memory of a TI-83 Plus.
  • Variables stored in RAM of the sending TI-83 Plus will be sent to the RAM of the receiving TI-83 Plus.
  • Variables and applications stored in user data archive of the sending TI-83 Plus will be sent to the user data archive of the receiving TI-83 Plus.

Linking a TI-83 and a TI-83 Plus
You can transfer from a TI-83 to a TI-83 Plus all variables and programs if they fit in the RAM of the TI-83 Plus. The RAM of the TI-83 Plus is slightly less than the RAM of the TI-83.

Also, you can transfer from a TI-83 Plus to a TI-83 all variables except for application, application variables, grouped variables, new variable types, or programs with new features in them such as Archive, UnArchive, Asm(, AsmComp, and AsmPrgm.

If archived variables on the TI-83 Plus are variable types recognized and used on the TI-83, you can transmit these variables to the TI-83. They will be automatically sent to the TI-83's RAM during the transfer process.

Note: You cannot perform a memory backup from a TI-83 to a TI-83 Plus or a TI-83 Plus to a TI-83.

Linking a TI-82 and a TI-83
You can transfer from a TI-82 to a TI-83 all variables and programs. Also, you can transfer from a TI-83 to a TI-82 lists L1 through L6.

Note: You cannot perform a memory backup from a TI-82 to a TI-83.

Linking a TI-82 and a TI-83 Plus
You can transfer from a TI-82 to a TI-83 Plus all variabes and programs. Also, you can transfer from a TI-83 Plus to a TI-82 real lists L1 through L6 with up to 99 elements.

Note: You cannot perform a memory backup from a TI-82 to a TI-83.

Linking a TI-73 and a TI-83 Plus
You can transfer real numbers, pics, real lists L1 through L6, and named lists from a TI-73 to a TI-83 Plus or vice versa. Named lists may also be exchanged. However, theta is not recognized by the TI-73, so you cannot include this symbol in any list names sent to the TI-73.

Note: You cannot perform a memory backup from a TI-82 to a TI-83.
