#hardware lock no laplink — declared parent_msg_num=(none), resolved parent_id points to #(none)
Is there a problem using laplink software and the 3ds4 hardware lock? I
transfer files from the desktop pc to the laptop through the same parallel port
where the hardware lock is installed. However, with the lock in place no
connection between the 2 computers is made. When I remove the lock the
connection flows without problem through the parallel port. I run on Warp and
have tried both the IBM Linkrite software and the Dos platform Laplink III
software. Both seem to have the same problem with the lock.
Any remedy for this problem? Anybody else experience the same?

Yes — you cannot use any file transfer software (like LapLink) through the
parallel port that your dongle is connected to. You'll either have to use the
LapLink serial cable, add a second parallel port or remove the dongle.

Mr. Rhoten, when exactly does 3ds4 poll the hardware lock beside just after
initialization? Can I remove the lock duing a rendering without causing a shut
down? during a flic rendering? during a single frame render?
Thanks, Peter Landeck

My understanding is that the dongle is polled at startup, and at various times
otherwise. It is not polled during the rendering process.

thank you for the reply Larry. How about during rendering of a FLC? I seem to
remember the flic rendering crash without it.
