M-Audio DMAN [38/52] Dos software utilities

DOS Software Utilities

The DMAN DOS software utilities are installed as a part of the

Windows 3.1x drivers and utilities, or the Windows 95 drivers.

IMPORTANT:

The DOS utility programs must be run from the

native DOS prompt, not from within Windows. For Windows

95 users, this means you should choose "Shutdown" from the

Windows 95 Start menu and then select "Restart in MS-DOS

mode" before running the DOS utilities. Windows 3.1x users

should simply exit Windows to DOS before running the DOS

utilities.

After installation of the Windows 3.1x drivers, you will find the

DOS software utilities in the directory selected during installation

(default is C:\MIDIMAN\DMAN). If installed with the

Windows 95 drivers, the DOS software utilities will reside in the

Windows 95 directory (C:\WINDOWS, on most systems).

DMAN Diagnostics Utility

As part of the DMAN Windows 3.1x or Windows 95 installation,

the diagnostic program CS32DIAG.EXE is installed on your hard

disk. This program runs a series of tests that you can use to

verify proper DMAN operation. Once at the DOS prompt, take

the following steps to run the DOS diagnostics program:

1. From the native DOS prompt, change to the subdirectory

containing CS32DIAG.EXE on your hard drive by using the

DOS "CD" (Change Directory) command. On a Windows 3.1x

system, this will usually be "CD C:\MIDIMAN\DMAN" if

you chose the default directory during installation. On a

Windows 95 system, this will be "CD C:\WINDOWS"

assuming that this is your Windows directory.

2. Type CS32DIAG and press the [ENTER] key. The DOS

diagnostic software will now execute.

Diagnostics Parameters Box

The info box that is now in the center of your diagnostic screen

displays hardware communication parameters for the DMA

Channel, IRQ, and I/O address. These parameters will be used by

the diagnostics program to check for proper

installation/operation of your DMAN.
