How to make PC-Linq work between Win10 PCs？
I am NOT asking how to copy data between PCs - I'm asking about PC-linq or an equivalent. I still have PC-Linq 'bridging - cross-over' cable that used to allow data transfer between 98E and XP in an effective and user-friendly way. I would like to use it between Win10 PCs.

You're right to specify, and that PC-Linq cable was a great tool. For direct PC-to-PC file transfer with a USB cable on Windows 10, you need a modern USB data transfer cable (often called a "USB bridging cable" or "USB networking cable"). These have an electronic chip in the middle that allows the two computers to recognize each other.
Your old PC-Linq cable likely will not work due to outdated drivers and changes in the Windows OS. Purchase a new, Windows 10/11-compatible USB data transfer cable; they are inexpensive and will include the necessary software to make the connection user-friendly.
