Notes

• On the TI-83, INIT = 0D0h. On the TI-83 Plus, INIT = 0.
• You may omit the final output if you make sure to always pass an even value for B. Otherwise you risk leaving the link port active.
• Remember that using port 0 also affects the memory mapping on the TI-83.
• On the TI-83 Plus SE and TI-84 Plus, you may need to disable the hardware assist and slow the CPU clock as well.
