From the System screen of the SIBO or EPOC device enable the remote link and ensure that the correct baud rate has been set:
- On SIBO devices the link is configured using the Remote Link or Communications option from the Special menu, or by pressing Psion+L or Acorn+L.
- On EPOC devices the link is configured using the Remote link... option from the Tools menu, or by pressing Ctrl+L.
After a few seconds, a drive icon should appear on the iconbar for each remote drive that is accessible. A different icon is used for SIBO or EPOC drives to indicate the type of device connected:
 |
 |
| SIBO drive | EPOC drive |
The drive icons can be used just like any other desktop filer. For example, to open a directory viewer for the root directory of any drive simply click on the icon with Select.
The link may be disconnected at any time.
