INTERLNK Installation
Use the following instructions if you have a version of flash that includes
INTERSVR as a possible C omm option on your 6400 Computer or 5055

serial master mode boot.
The following instructions assume that you have placed all files from the
self-extracting archive in a directory (on your host personal computer)
called C:\PENKEY\FLASH. If you choose to place these files in a diff erent
location, adjust the instru ctions accordingly.
Note: Delete the self-extracting file from this directory once the f iles are
extracted.
