FAILURE INFORMATION

If the following transference of the 'bootstrap slave' fails at some point, click here for some ideas.



PHASE 1 - Initial Connection in Preparation for Bootstrap Slave

First, before SL.EXE is actually transferred, a 'bootstrap slave' will be sent to the vintage PC (the "remote computer").
FastLynx 3.3 doesn't just bindly send the 'bootstrap slave' to the vintage PC - it appears to do some kind of checking.
At this point, what is seen is seen on the two PCs is:

If all is well, the above only appears very briefly.




PHASE 2 - Transfer of Bootstrap Slave

When FastLynx 3.3 on the modern PC is 'happy' about the situation, it starts sending the 'bootstrap slave' to the vintage PC.
