Progress:
multiNET is a future protocol that I have not yet devoted much work to. I hope that it will eventually allow for seamless sharing of documents of the following types between graphing calculators, computers, and the Internet:
 Graphing calculator program files
HTML documents with imbedded grayscale images
TXT files
Office documents
PDF files
Multimedia files
To this end, I have developed two specific interconnected pieces of hardware compatible with the future protocol but requiring no software to operate. These allow the calculator to be docked and powered externally, and are described below.
 These are the schematics and plans for a docking station that allows you to sync data and information between a computer and your TI graphing calculator. Compatible with multiNET, a protocol coming in the future that will allow automatic backup and data transfer. This even allows the calculator to be run on an external power source!
 
These are the schematics and plans for modification that allows TI calculators to run off an external power supply. It requires only one component, and is compatible with multiNET and the Docking Station for TI Calculators.

Progress:
TICI 1.0 is a USB-like standard that allows the connection of various hardware devices to TI calculators. It uses the two data lines of the calculator's data port to connect directly or indirectly to a variety of devices. Most devices need to be connected to a TICI 1.0 hub which in turn is connected to the calculator; these include:
PS/2 mice
PS/2 keyboards
TICI 1.0 Modem Adapter (bridges to a modem for TelNet / Internet access
Other devices do not require a TICI 1.0 hub and can be connected directly to a TICI 1.0-enabled calculator. These include:
TICI 1.0 Wired network adapters
TICI 1.0 Wireless network adapters (WiNet)
You can find a variety of TICI 1.0 resources at the links below:
Download the TICI 1.0 Color Screen Adapter plans, used in CSE (Color Screen Edition) assembly programs.
Download the TICI 1.0 Modem Adapter plans, allowing the calculator to directly address a modem for internet or remote network access.
Download the TICI 1.0 PS/2 mouse driver for the TI-83 calculator
Download the TICI networking plans.
Download the TICI 1.0 Hub Version A plans

Progress:
CALCnet is a set of programs, based on the  calculator networking protocol, that allows up to 255 calculators connect to a network with a single calculator acting as a server. I can be used with any networking hardware, as long as both data lines connected to the calculator link port are preserved; however, there is some TICI 1.0 networking hardware that is optimized for use with CALCnet. Included below are the source codes for the beta server and workstation software.
Download the CALCnet Server Source Code.
Download the CALCnet Workstation Source Code.

Progress:
TRILlIoN, or Token Ring Instantaneous Local Intelligent Network, is a protocol for the connection of multiple calculators to a single network with one calculator acting as the server for up to 254 other calculators. Note that this is simply a protocol and not actual software. However, software is in development utilizing the TRILlIoN protocol, most notable CALCnet noted above. General information about the TRILlIoN protocol can be found here:
