d8b Forum

Hi,

I have a D8b that has been stored for 2 years. When I powered it up it gave me a System Error 43 on the board and the CPU gave me "DSP Control Card Not ReadyLast Known State Reset".
So I talked to so great guys on the Mackie Forum and they gave me so idea's..

Like:
1) Format the drive Reload the software.. Which is doable..I think..I guess i have to change a file name.. this doesn't sound easy.
2) Change the motherboard battery which I'm going to do that anyway even though the date and time wer correct.

I pulled all the cards out including the efx and I made sure all the computer PCI cards and memeory were seated properly.
Other than that I'm not sure what to do.

Does anyone have the correct BIOS settings. I changed the boot sequence and that didn't seen to make the floppy start up.

Any help would be great.

Thanks alot

Joe

The BIOS settings are here. Make sure you know which mobo you have.

This may help with the DSP situation.

I get this when I switch my D8b on before my master clock, re-seating the BIG connector fixes it.
