H132808 - CD Audio & LPT:1 IRQ Tests Fails w/QAPlus/2                        
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
 SYMPTOM:                                                                       
 IBM PC 700 Series 6877 and 6887 may display a 0014 error while                 
 running the CD Audio test and/or show the incorrect IRQ assigned               
 to the parallel port (LPT:1) using QAPlus/2 for OS/2.                          
                                                                                
 PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:                                                        
 The 0014 error displayed during the testing of the CDROM audio                 
 function should be considered a false indication of a hardware                 
 problem.  Verify that ALL applications that utilize the audio                  
 capability of the CDROM are failing before pursuing parts                      
 replacement. An audio failure may also be caused by improperly                 
 configured system resources.                                                   
                                                                                
 The parallel port test under QAPlus/2 will pass, however when                  
 the "Information" icon is accessed, the IRQ assigned to the                    
 parallel port shows IRQ 5 instead of IRQ 7.  Check the                         
 Configuration/Setup Utility for the actual IRQ assigned to the                 
 parallel port.                                                                 
                                                                                
 FIX:                                                                           
 Prior to any hardware replacements as a result of running                      
 QAPlus/2, QAPlus/Pro should be performed.  QAPlus/Pro operates                 
 as a more in-depth standalone diagnostic routine without the                   
 resource limitations of running under Windows or OS/2 operating                
 systems.                                                                       
                                                                                
 This problem will be resolved in the next update of QAPlus/2                   
 and will be available from the IBM PC Company Bulletin Board                   
 Service.
