TN4046C.txt TD - HANGING ON IBM PC
Category :Pascal
Platform :All
Product :TD 1.x 2.0
Description:
Q. Why does the debugger hang when loading on my old IBM
PC, XT, or compatible?
A. Check to make sure that the dipswitch that corresponds to
the math coprocessor is correctly set. If it is not, the
debugger will try to execute a floating point instruction
and will hang while loading. Try flipping dipswitch number
1 (when numbered starting from 0) on the motherboard.
If you have the setting for the coprocessor in CMOS RAM
run the setup program to see if it indicates the presence
of a npx. If so, change the switch setting. Alternatively,
upgrade to Turbo Debugger 1.5.
