I figured out the problem: the board itself was the culprit. The epoxy
and bus slot were not milled to standards, and it is easy to insert it maybe 1
mm too far to the right so that the AT-bus contacts do not align right.
So, the Dock I/750 apparently shut down automatically to avoid circuit
problems. Good thing! Too bad the IBM people didn't know this!
Now I have the board installed & the Dock I/750 configuration operating,
but I'm not getting any sound out of the board despite having disabled the
TP's own sound system & verifying the I/O, DMA & IRQ settings in software.
The PATH statements seem to check out, and the software that goes with the
board is booting normally. However, it hangs whenever access to an audio
file is required, and the board's status lights are not on, which means
its existence is not appropriately acknowledged.
Perhaps there's a conflict not documented in the on-line help. I'll try
a duplicate board on Monday to see if the same problem occurs. Any ideas?
Maybe an I/O conflict with some other part of the TP system?
Regards,
Joel
