Hi. I recently ordered an MM/1 MIDI interface boad, and received it
|
||
|
|
yesterday. I installed it following the directions that came with it,
|
||
|
|
and then ran ultimusek. Every time I tried to get my MIDI keyboard to
|
||
|
|
play something it would just sit there doing nothing. I went back into
|
||
|
|
my MM/1 and examined the MIDI board with my multimeter. I found that
|
||
|
|
the six wire cable provided with the MIDI board was defective. Out of
|
||
|
|
the six wires, only 2 passed a continuity test, the other 4 just didn't
|
||
|
|
make electrical contact with the connectors. Also after examining the
|
||
|
|
schematic of the MIDI board and looking at the MM/1 /T1 connector on the
|
||
|
|
processor board I found that the cable was also incorrectly wired! I
|
||
|
|
removed the connectors, cut the cable off a little on both ends, and
|
||
|
|
re-installed the connectors as the schematic and MM/1 tech manual
|
||
|
|
indicated. The MIDI board now works as it should and my keyboard plays
|
||
|
|
with no problems. I'm glad the cable did have continuity problems as it
|
||
|
|
might have damaged something due to the incorrect wiring. I'n not
|
||
|
|
griping about it, but just thought you would like to know that there may
|
||
|
|
be some bad MIDI interface cables out there. I ordered the MIDI
|
||
|
|
interface, UltimuseK, MM/1 tech manual and windio52 update disk and
|
||
|
|
received them in good time, and would like to say "keep up the good
|
||
|
|
work"!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
p.s. I got to use my MM/1 tech manual the first day <G>!

Yes, I know about those mysterious disappearing bugs. My mouse stopped
|
||
|
|
working for a few days, then mysteriously started working again. I know
|
||
|
|
of at least 1 other person who has had that problem.
|
||
|
|
BTW, in lieu of real work (until I start beta testing MM1 RIBBS) I am
|
||
|
|
currently decompiling and rewriting CGFX. I fixed the screen directory
|
||
|
|
bug (the one that sometimes crashes the program when you are looking
|
||
|
|
at a small directory [partial screen]).
|
||
|
|
I decompile a portion, recompile to verify the accuracy of
|
||
|
|
decompilation, then rewrite for greater efficiency and compile with GNU
|
||
|
|
C for even greater speed. I'm doin this mostly for entertaingment, but
|
||
|
|
it may earn me some PR. I'll put up a copy for download when I'm done.
