So I finally got another computer that will work well enough for my Win9x needs.
It's a Compaq Presario 7599 running Windows 98 SE.
The cable I'm using is the same one as last time, when I still had the 486: A Symantec PCAnywhere parallel cable.
I put device=c:\dos\interlnk.exe in CONFIG.SYS on the PS/2 and load INTERSVR on the Compaq.
Start up INTERSVR and then turn on the PS/2.
This time, it doesn't connect, but only gives a "Connection NOT established" error all the time.
I've tried DOS mode on Win98 and running in Windows mode, both give the same results.
Now, I try a DOS boot disk and do the same thing. This time, it works!
I don't want to load a DOS boot disk every time I want to link the PS/2 and Compaq together, so does anyone know why it wouldn't work in Windows or Windows DOS mode?
