Here's what you do:
#1. Run the LINK.EXE program that came with Fargo, plug in the
cable that you made.
#2. In LINK.EXE, press 'B'. Type in FARGO.92b or something like
that. This should download a backup from the calculator. Be sure you
are in the home screen on the calculator.
#3. Exit LINK.EXE, and type 'PUTFARGO FARGO'. Be sure to leave off
the extentsion of the backup file.
PUTFARGO should say something like this:
-
ML92B v1.0 Copyright 1996 by David Ellsworth
Putting core.o into fargo.92b...done
-
#4. When that's done, run LINK.EXE again, and press 'U'. Type in
FARGO.92B. Don't forget the extenstion. It should be sending the
fargoed backup to the calculator, it will say unsuccessful when it's
about 99% done. That's normal.
#5. When the backup is done the screen should flash darker. When that
happens, press (in LINK.EXE) 'S'. Now type in '*.92p'. This will
transfer all of the programs into the calculator.
#6. On the calculator, press [shift]+[on]. This will start Fargo. Have
fun!
If you need any more help, feel free to post.
