This process is written for the USB-DLINQ USB File transfer
cable. We have written the process because it is easy to connect Windows 98 to
Windows 98, and easy to connect Windows XP to Windows XP, but we had difficulty
connecting Windows 98 to Windows XP.
This process can be used for all connections, 98-98, 98-XP
and XP-XP.
This process is for the Y-125D model of cable.
- Insert
the CD in your CD drive
- Open
Windows Explorer, and browse to the folder called D:\Y-125D\PC
- Double
Click on Setup.exe to install the GeneLink 108A software. This is the
software that allows you to browse and copy the files across the USB
connection.
- Follow
any prompts presented by that installation process. You will end up with
an Icon on the Desktop.
- Plug
one end of the USB-DLINQ cable into a spare USB port on that PC. Wait for
the device to be detected.
- When
it does, you will get prompted to choose the INF driver file. It is
important to choose the D:\Y-125D\PC\Bridge.INF file.
- Continue
to follow the prompts, and then remove the CD.
- Repeat
these steps 1-7 on the other PC that you want to connect to.
Note: Even though the CD has drivers in the D:\Y-125D\Win-xp
directory, if you install these on a Windows XP PC, you will not be able to
communicate with a Windows 98 PC.
