7/7: Hardware Not Working
Not necessarily in itself bad news. This can be caused by many things, including a poorly seated EDS card.
Hi Kim,
Triple check the SCSI 2 cable. It burned me 5 times!!!
Look at the pins and be sure they're straight. Use a different
one if you have one to swap with. Check it's pins too.
Next thoughts are, one eds - one 442 for hardware, nothing else.
Remove the default project and start Paris from the .exe only.
Still getting 7/7 try re-erasing the tabs on the eds card.
Still getting 7/7 try a different PCI slot. Could be some muck there too.
Still getting 7/7 then swap the Mec with the 442 again.
Triple check the SCSI 2 cable. It burned me and 4 Mecs 5 times!!!
Did I just say that again?
Maybe your eds is fried or maybe not.

More information to come as it's gathered, but note the following -
If you are installing the PARIS Windows XP drivers:
Take note of this caveat from the WinXpDriverInstallDoc Windows XP Driver Install manual :
The single biggest problem reported by users is ERROR 7/7. This means that the hardware is not functioning correctly, even though XP shows it as "functioning correctly. The primary cause of ERROR 7/7 is the PARIS card sharing an interrupt with a video card. Use The System Information tool located on Accessories/ System Tools/ System information and determine if your PARIS cards are sharing IRQs with a video card. If this is the case, and you are getting an Error 7/7 on launch you will need to rectify this. This is done through resource allocation in the BIOS of your PC. There are far too many BIOS variations for me to offer specifics on this, so if you don't know how to do it post your questions to parisnewsgroup.com with your specific motherboard and somebody with a similar config can probably help you.
