still "wrong version of DSP code" error
 

I have tried everything I can think of at this point... :(

I have done everything by the book, even went back to version 2.5b (the version I origionally had) and with all of the correct (at least as far as I can tell) settings I am still getting this "Wrong Version of DSP Code" error at startup. The only other indicator is that on running the setup test it either fails out or locks up the computer completely on the host interrupt test. I am clueless to this as I have the correct settings, and there are no conflicts on this setting that windows95 shows.

I have tried everything from win98 and version 2.7 on down to this 2.5b on win95. I know it's a helluva reach back but does anyone have a clue to this problem? Could it be hardware related, in regards to the MTU hardware? I'm at my wits end :/

Any help is appreciated, and thanks to those that have helped out so far as best they could.

Rev J busted?
 

....Does this sound like your Rev J board is busted? Anybody?

I've got 2 unused Rev Js, and would sell you one if you need it.

If I can narrow it down to that being the actual cause I would definatly be interested :f

Very depressing :(


UPDATE: Well, in the functionality tests it hangs up at the DSP X test and says it's not functional something about "...100, write 8000, read 8001" or something of that nature, I'll double check the actual message tomarrow and post it, maybe that'll help with this diagnosis :/

e-mail me
 

...if you do wind up being interested, e-mail me direct.

That board is not Plug and Play, so you manually have to check the jumpers on the board and the dipswitches as to which IRQ and Memory addresses you are using.

As I recall these are all in the Manual. I am very unexperienced on that board now, as it has been out of Production since before 96.

I would check all of the Memory Addresses and the IRQ's to make sure that is not the problem. Also try cleaning the board off with a qtip and Alcohol, on the gold fingers. Press all of the Socketed chips down in their sockets to make sure they are tightly seated.

I pulled my hair out over a similar problem for a couple days earlier this year when I moved my Rev J to a different computer & operating system. What solved it was running a separate ground wire from the card to the computer mainframe. It's been stable and reliable ever since.
