- SERIAL:
-
- Versions of LapLink Pro prior to 4.0c are not compatible with
- OS/2 version 2. LapLink Pro version 4.0c is compatible if you set
- the serial port to "Polled" in the Port/Modem setup dialog.
- Please contact us if you need this version.
-
- Copying from a floppy drive to the hard drive, whether the drive
- is HPFS (high performance file structure) or DOS, or copying
- between two hard drives will work. Going between two floppy
- drives does not work in the serial mode.
-
- LapLink Pro will read and copy to and from the HPFS drive as long
- as the file names are using the DOS limitation of eight
- characters with a three character extension. File names longer
- than the DOS limitation will not be seen by LapLink Pro.
-
- PARALLEL:
-
- All versions of LapLink Pro will work in the parallel mode with
- all versions of OS/2.
-
- Copying from a floppy drive to the hard drive, whether the drive
- is HPFS (high performance file structure) or DOS, or copying
- between two hard drives will work. For parallel transfers,
- copying between two floppy drives should be fine. The same DOS
- file name limitations of serial communications apply to parallel.
-
- CLONING:
-
- Because LapLink Pro doesn't copy hidden system files at the root
- level, and the way OS/2 stores it's system files, LapLink Pro can
- NOT be used to clone an OS/2 drive to another drive in order to
- avoid the installation of OS/2 on the target machine.
-
- MODEMS:
-
- LapLink Pro's modem feature will not work with OS/2 at this time
- because modem ports cannot be set to polled.
