msd8x is a TI-84 Plus Flash application which serves as a GUI interface between your calculator's contents and USB mass storage device's contents. Just like usb8x, it only supports the FAT16 file system.
The current release version of msd8x is v0.93, downloadable at radicalsoft.org.
Contents
Running msd8x
Attach your USB mass storage device to your USB cable and then to your 84+/SE's USB port. If your flash drive is a common model, msd8x will auto-launch and display directory contents. If not, press the [APPS] key and then select MSD8X from the menu.
Any USB flash drive can be made to auto-launch MSD8X when inserted. If MSD8X does not auto-launch for your particular drive, e-mail the vendor and product IDs for your device to brandonlw@gmail.com and it will be included in the next release of msd8x. You can use a computer to find the vendor/product IDs or you can use USBTools found at the usb8x project page.
Run it and play around.
