- 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.
