Dear all,

I am trying to revive an old NSIIIa.

Head, base and controller are working fine. The computer is running Windows XP. When I start the Nanoscope Software (V530r3rs3) I do not have the option for live-mode. Somehow the DSP card is not recognized by the software. In the system.par file IRQ is set to 11. The same is set in the BIOS of the mainboard. Plugn'play is off. The jumper on the DSP card is on IRQ 11. A red LED is on when the card on power.

Is there something I missed? Maybe some settings/additional drivers/etc. in Windows XP?

Thanks

Hi Raphael:

 

How do you know head, base and controller are working fine?

 

Do you have the DVD recovery that came with your system?

You could try to restore the hard drive, but you will need to backup your data and calibration files before.

 

Let us know what happen with your system.

Best regards

 

Miguel
