Error initializing Paris Enging. Error code 1/1

Does anyone know what that means?

I am in the process of moving paris over to a "newer" Dell 340 workstation pc. It has

* 2.2gHZ P4 Intel single core processor
* 1 GB memory
* 1 EDS card
* nVidia dual head vga card
* no other cards in the system / network etc built into mobo
* baseline XP pro and no other software installed (ie word, etc)
* Scherzo driver installs OK
* Tried it on Paris 2.2 & 3.0

I have had this running successfully on a PIII for years and will move back to it if I must but I really want to move this to a faster pc.

I ran the uart support program which supposedly writes to DebugView but it dies before anything gets written out.

Would the new multi-core drivers help?

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

The "classic", meaning "pre-XP drivers", interpretation of 1/1 is "hardware not found".

Nowadays it generally means "did you follow all the steps in your install of the XP drivers, or did you skip one?" Very Happy

Seriously (although it's hard to be serious when I've had a couple of glasses of cognac with a friend tonight), check your install docs for your drivers (either the earlier drivers by Chris Thoman or Mike Audet's new ones) and make certain you didn't inadvertently gloss over one (I wish I could pin it down closer as to "which specific one" but it's not coming to me - but I know I glossed over one and it bit me in the ass with 1/1s). This is a frequent cause of 1/1 during PARIS XP installs.

I can't speak for Mike about the new drivers. He's not the kind of guy to blow his own horn and he'd probably be the first to mention they may be slightly less optimized for single processor CPUs than the old XP drivers were.

But IMO I don't know if anybody would "feel" that theoretical difference, particularly in the course of a system upgrade.

And yes, I reckon the new drivers will help immensely; for one thing, Mike knows his own PSCL drivers inside out, and he's invested in seeing them working properly on everybody's rig, and that would certainly mean yours too. In my opinion, from a tech support standpoint those drivers are the best investment you'll make in your PARIS rig - bar none.

Don't give up. Unless there's some hidden deal-breaker problem (my own PC had its PCI slots die during a move) you should be up and running shortly.

I had the same rig as yours for awhile and it ran fine on XP Pro and the old
XP drivers. Make sure you have multiple threading turned off in Bios.

Well, except I was using a different MB :) You might try moving the EDS
card to different PCI slots also to avoid any conflicts- especially with the
video card..

Hey guys,

Thanks for all your help. You were right, I must have skipped a step during setup.

Luckily, I set a restore point so I went back and started from scratch and...it worked!!!!!

Thanks again for the assist. It's been a while since I did an install.

For what it's worth, I'm a senior systems software analyst writing low level software and building custom hardware using PIC microprocessors. If I were to reverse engineer the protocol used by the C16, would that be of any use or it is already known.

Hi Bob,

I've got the specs for the C16 communications protocol. The comments call it "midi like". I've got plans to set it up so that it sends and recieves MIDI notes through a MIDI port, but work has just got me buried lately.

I'd be in to talking with you about the best way to proceed. My email is mike at mikeaudet dot com.

All the best!

Mike
