- LinkIt! works just fine. You _MUST_ save a default config file
- when you first use it and then restart. Also be sure you are
- using the same port speeds on both the PeeCee and on Amy.
- Tech help has been excellent, including international callbacks
- that you would not expect on such an inexpensive program.
- BTW, the parallel cable is also for copy protection...
