In case of trouble.
If the bridge does not work after following the instructions in INSTALL.DOC
this document is meant to help. Note that at present, PCbridge is not
terribly friendly or informative when a configuration error is made.
This will be fixed in the future, but for now here is what you can do.
1) First determine if the bridge program is running or whether it
aborted. If the PC has a monitor, simply look for the dos prompt.
If it does not, modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that it looks like
this
bridge > bridge.out
Then reboot the machine. If the bridge.out file contains anything,
then the bridge program aborted, look at the message and see if that
helps any.
Basically PCbridge has not configuration information (except for the
baud rate for remote bridges), thus it is very hard to misconfigure
this. On the other hand, if the hardware does not agree with the
the hardware PCbridge expects, PCbridge will fail. This is almost
certainly the problem. Unfortuately, PCbridge does not tell you exactly
what part of the hardware configuration failed. Thus the only thing
to do is to check everything. If you are very sure that the hardware
is set up correctly and PCbridge still fails, you may want to send me
a note explaining the problem.
