Trouble-Shooting

If you are having problems using your MM-401 it is probably a
good idea to reread this manual and make sure you have prop-
erly installed the card.  If you can’t find the source of your diffi-
culty check the following typical fixes:

SYMPTOM

The  computer  won’t  boot  with  the  card  in.

Everything is fine without the card.  (This may include strange
error messages.)

SOLUTION

:   

Run  the  INSTALL program  and  make  sure  the

interrupt/IRQ you have set the card to is free.  Also, make sure
the card is recognized at the address selected and that all of the
diagnostics pass.  

SYMPTOM:

The diagnostic program finds the address that the

card is at, but says “No Interrupt Detected.”

SOLUTION:

You are probably running Windows in your system.

Go ahead and quit Windows before running 401TEST.EXE. When
Windows is running, even in the background, it steals the inter-
rupt/IRQ from the MM-401 (even if you run 401TEST.EXE from
the  DOS  Prompt).    Try  running  the  program  from  DOS  —  it
should now work.

SYMPTOM:

My  computer  can’t  find  the  card  when  I  run  my

sequencer program. 

SOLUTION

:   

Same as above.

SYMPTOM

:   

The  card  works  fine  with  my  DOS  programs  but
