SYMPTOMS
========

If your computer has a Roland Micro Channel MPU IMC sound card, it may stop
responding (hang) during installation of the Windows 3.1 Roland MPU-401 driver
after you specify the IRQ for the driver to use.

CAUSE
=====

The Roland Micro Channel MPU IMC sound card does not operate with the Roland
MPU-401 driver included with Windows version 3.1.

RESOLUTION
==========

Roland now offers a driver for the Micro Channel version of this card. It is
available free of charge from Roland Technical Support/Customer Service.

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

Roland manufactures a Micro Channel equivalent to its MPU-401 card, called the
MPU IMC. Even though it is considered MPU-401-compatible, it does not work with
the MPU-401 driver included with Windows 3.1. The Windows driver was written for
an ISA card and cannot be used with a Micro Channel card.

To obtain the correct driver for this card, contact Roland Technical
Support/Customer Service.

The products included here are manufactured by Roland, a vendor independent of
Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products'
performance or reliability.
