LoopBack Test - List of Error Codes
-----------------------------------
The driver of the Steinberg PC MIDI3 Interface contains a
Loopback test routine.

Description:

  * Connect 'MIDI Out 1' to 'MIDI In 1'
  * Open: (Controlpanel/system/devicemanager/PC MIDI3driver/Settings)
  * Press the Test- button
  * The driver sends a short SysEx-message (6 Bytes) to PC-MIDI3-Out 1
  * The PC-MIDI3-Input recieves the data.
  * The driver (the test routine counts the incoming bytes and
    checks the interrupts that should happen.

Possible errorcodes:

  * Code 30: The amount of incoming bytes is equal to the
    bytes that were sent. But there were NO interrupts.

  * Code 40  n: The amount of incoming bytes is NOT the same
    as the amount of bytes that were sent. (n = the number of
    recieved bytes.) The interrupts are OK.

  * Code 50  n: The amount of incoming bytes is NOT the same
    as the amount of bytes that were sent. (n = the number of
    recieved bytes) and there were NO interrupts.

Troubleshooting:

  * - Check the MIDI cables
  * - Check the PC-Interface-cable
  * - Check the power supply (Try to use the Interface with
      and without the power supply)
  * - Are there any other cards using the LPT interrupt? (This
      is possible, if a card does not use W95 drivers)
  * - PC MIDI 3 is damaged (Contact your local dealer)
