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
