Are HP and TI cables interchangeable - ferroburak - 11-26-2009 Are HP and TI cables interchangeable? Thanks.
Re: Are HP and TI cables interchangeable - Tim Wessman - 11-26-2009 No. The 50 uses a standard mini-USB, a propriatary serial, an IrDA port, and an SD card.

Re: Are HP and TI cables interchangeable - Marcus von Cube, Germany - 11-27-2009 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.

Re: Are HP and TI cables interchangeable - Crawl - 11-27-2009 Ah, you're right. The last time I tried using a generic USB cable with a TI it didn't seem to fit, but I tried again and it did.
