Can anyone tell me if there is driver for usb connection so I can connect my fx-9860G to my Mac using the supplied usb cable? If so, where can I download it from. I have a PC in the house, but I refuse to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

Thanks for any replies.

I guess you googled more as i did on this subject but it seems there is no Mac software for the casio so you have three options as far as i can think off:

1. Use an sd card to transfer files
2. Use yourself as connection (as in typing the code in the machine)
3. Use a decent pc

Hmmm, I wonder if using Virtual PC for the Mac, then FA-124 will work?

Hmmm, I wonder if it would be worth the cost of MS Virtual PC and Windows operating system to connect a $79.00 calculator to my Mac?

Hehehe...

What about the ability to run Windows applications on your Mac?

use your PC to communicate to the calc, is cheaper.

LOL! Yeah, maybe on second thought, you should get a PC.

bo67-

A TI89 Titanium connects to your Mac running OSX with no additional hardware or cost. As a matter of fact, the connectivity software for the TI89 Titanium on Mac OSX is better than for Windoesn't. Perhaps you should just change calculators.

I don't feel badly about giving that advice in this forum, since others here seem to feel free to tell you to change what kind of computer you use.

that's a TI forum?.. Buying a brand new TI89ti because you dont want to use your PC is absurd!... This is a solution resembling that: You are too lazy to cut your fingernails each week, then you cut off your entire hand to solve the problem... . Pretty good. Or you don't take a fly from NY to Rome because the planes fall.. and you prefer to go by sea (btw, you can be drowned). Come on dudes.. you're flooded with a cup of water

PD: Comparing CP with the O.S 3+ CPLua.. Now the 89ti is a 90% piece of junk.

I have used a PC to upgrade the operating system on my 9860G. I have used the TI Connect in the past, and it is great software for Mac. I wish Casio offered software for Mac similar to TI.

It will take more than a calculator for me to downgrade to a PC.

Also, I wish my Mac, a Quad G5, only cost $1,500.00.

Thanks for the replies.

Hmmm, I don't know why CASIO didn't make a Mac version of FA-124. They did have FA-123 for the Mac though...

Also, don't get a TI. I mean look at this dumb video:

The video is soooo fake. This shows that people using TI suffer from mental deficiency, thinking their so cool because with a TI-84 they can pretend to hack computers with it. Losers....
