SUMMARY
=======

After you install a Digiboard card and driver on a Microsoft Mail Multitasking
MTA (MMTA) workstation, the driver may report one or more errors while trying to
load from the CONFIG.SYS into memory.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The following is a list of Digiboard driver error messages, along with a
description and/or the most likely cause to the error:

  Could not find BIOS file
  Could not find FEP file
  Could not find data file

One or more files were missing from the digipath directory. The default digipath
directory is C:\DIGI. If the driver and data files were in a different
directory, that directory must be specified in the Digiboard driver command line
with the /F:DIGIPATH parameter.

  IO Port Not Responding
  I/O port address set incorrectly, or conflicting with some other device

The I/O port address does not match the dip switch settings, or the I/O address
is already in use by another device. Verify the I/O setting, or try a different
I/O address.

  DigiBoard BIOS will not boot
  DigiBoard BIOS will not respond
  DigiCHANNEL board will not respond to commands from the driver

The above errors are typically due to a memory conflict, or a memory cache
conflict. Try a different memory address setting and/or disable the memory
cache.

  Driver Failed to Hook Timer
  System Cannot Allocate Memory

A system call to OS/2 has failed. The most likely cause is an incompatibility
between the Digiboard driver and the OS/2 version.

  Invalid Command Line Arguments
  Syntax error in the command line in CONFIG.SYS.

The DEVICE= line for the Digiboard driver contains invalid information. Double
check the Digiboard driver command-line entry for syntax errors.

For more information on the Digiboard driver, see the documentation accompanying
the Digiboard installation software, such as the INSTALL.DOC on the installation
diskette or the Digiboard manuals.
