FastLynx 3.3 Software Only (electronic download)

Enables remote file transfer and file management of vintage DOS machines from modern OS. It has some slightly retro charm of its own on the modern OS side but it is capable and ultimately the best of all adoptions.

I'm using the software in combination with a short PL2303 based USB to Serial cable, between a Windows 11 x64 laptop and a Book8088. The driver for Sewell's own cable does not seem to install, but with this table (manually set to COM1 in device manager) it works brilliantly - it even managed to send the DOS stub over the cable. You may need to set a lower speed for your transfer - with the Book8089 I find 38,400 baud to be reliable.

I have always problems using named pipe. The handbook does not shed much light on this facility. I find it difficult to synchronize more than 2 PCs.
Windows sometime gets updated and then sometimes fastlink does not work anymore. We are mainly using W10 abd 11 Home editions.
