- Introduction
-
- The generic MPU-401 Device Driver is for MIDI interfaces in AT compatible
- systems with an ISA bus. It was written under OS/2 1.21, and has been
- tested under 1.21, 1.3, 2.0, and 2.1(beta).
-
- The device driver supports the complete set of MPU commands. Extensions
- specific to OS/2 have been added, and are available through the DMS MPU
- Interface Library. If you are interested in purchasing the library, please
- use the order form (see the file ORDER.FRM).
-
- This software is not in the public domain; however, it may be distributed
- freely so long as it is not bundled with any commercial product, or any fee
- beyond duplication and shipping is charged for distribution. If you would
- like information on distributing this software with another product, please

- Installation
-
- To install the device driver, copy the MPU401.SYS file to your \OS2 directory.
- Edit your CONFIG.SYS file, adding the line
-
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MPU401.SYS
-
- If you find a line DEVICE=C:\OS2\COM01.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS, add the
- MPU
- statement before the COM line. Otherwise, location is of no relevance.
-
- If you are using the default port and interrupts (Port 330 and Interrupt 9),
- you are finished. Save the file and reboot your computer to complete the
- installation.
-
- If your interface is not configured for the default port or interrupt, add
- one or both of the following parameters
-
- Port
- /Pppp - where ppp is the port location.
- e.g. for port 310:
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MPU401.SYS /P310
-
-
- Interrupt
- /Inn - where nn is the interrupt used.
- e.g. for interrupt 5:
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MPU401.SYS /I5
-
- Both
- e.g. /P310 /I5
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MPU401.SYS /P310 /I5
-
-
- After making the necessary changes, save the file and reboot your computer.
-
- When the system is rebooted, you will see (albeit briefly) a message from
- the device driver giving copyright and version information, as well as the
- port and interrupt values. If an error occurs, the booting process will
- pause. Check the error message, and hit F1 to continue the boot. The
- MPU device driver will not install if any errors are detected. Correct the
- errors and reboot.
-
- Note for ADAPTEC SCSI Interface users: Some Adaptec SCSI controllers use
- port 330, which is also the default for the MPU cards. We recommend
- that you change the port on your MPU card, and add the /P statement shown
- above.

- Installation Check list
- =======================
-
- ___ Install the interface according to the manufacturer's instructions.
-
-
- ___ Install OS/2
-
-
- ___ Copy the MPU401.SYS file from the installation disk to the C:\OS2
- directory.
-
-
- ___ When OS/2 is installed and running, edit the CONFIG.SYS file (You can
- use the system editor in the MAIN program group), and add the
- DEVICE = C:\OS2\MPU401.SYS line as shown above. Don't forget to save
- the file.
-
-
- ___ Shutdown OS/2 from the Desktop Manager Group. When the system is
- completely shut down, reboot the computer.
-
