Using FastLynx 3.3 to Transfer Files To/From Vintage/Modern PCs


FastLynx 3.3 is a 2003 dated commercial product that is capable of file transfers, via serial or parallel cable, between a 'vintage' PC running DOS and a 'modern' PC.

By 'modern PC', I am referring to a PC that is running Windows of either 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/7/10.
Being dated 2003, the user's manual for FastLynx 3.3 does not specify a Windows version later than XP.  I have successfully used 3.3 on Windows 7 and on Windows 10.

By 'vintage PC', I am referring to either an 8088 or 80286 or 80386 or 80486 based PC, running DOS.

The cables required are the same ones used for Laplink and INTERSVR/INTERLNK.


Method 1:  Via serial cable

Method 2:  Via parallel cable
