- Well, the important thing to consider here, is the problems most probably have
- nothing to do with the SCC-1, and possibly not with the MPU-401 either. But
- rather the problem may be the irq level on the actual board, which you connect
- the MPU-401 to. There are little jumpers on there which allow you to change
- the value to something that Windows may like better, (like 2).
-
- By the way, I am assuming, that the SCC-1 sets up the same way that my CM-32L
- did, with a board in a computer, the MPU-401, and then the sound module plugged
- into that. Anyways, my Roland sound board was default configured to like IRQ
- 9 or something, which the Windows driver (and a lot of other software) would
- not like, and game me a weird hardware error also. Change it something you
- have free, and give it a shot again. Even if the driver says it supports like
- irq 2/9, don't necessarily trust it - I tried alot and only could get it to
- support 2 not 9.
-
- hope this helps,
- -Kevin
