Error Description Reason/Corrective Action
1 Operating System File Not Found The operating system specified, or the default operating system (if unspecified) could not be
found by the AT6nnn.EXE loader program. Put the AT6nnn.OPS in the same directory as
the AT6nnn.EXE file.
2 Invalid Operating System File The operating system specified, or the default operating system (if unspecified) is not a valid
operating system or is corrupted. Re-install the operating system from the original disk.
3 Unexpected EOF An EOF character was received during the download. Re-install the operating system from
the original disk.
4 Invalid Port Address The port address specified while downloading is invalid. Use another address setting
(768 ≤ port ≤ 1024 in increments of 8).
5 Unknown Option An unknown option was specified on the AT6nnn.EXE command line.
6 Base Port Address Greater than 1024 The base port address is too high. Specify an address between 768 and 1024 decimal with the
/PORT= parameter.
7 Base Port Address Less than 255 The base port address is too low. Specify an address between 768 and 1024 decimal with the
/PORT= parameter.
8 Base Port Address Not a Multiple of 8 The base port address is not a multiple of 8. Specify a valid address with the /PORT=
parameter.
9 Modified Download Requested A partial download was requested on the command line.
10 Card Controller Error The card controller did not respond as expected. Verify that you are downloading to the correct
address. Make sure there are no other peripheral cards (network adapters, bus mouse, etc.)
at the same address. Try changing the card address.
11 Card Not found The card did not respond as expected. Verify that you are downloading to the correct address.
Make sure there are no other peripheral cards (network adapters, bus mouse, etc.) at the
same address. Try changing the card address.
12 Reading Card Rev The card appeared to be working as expected until the revision was requested. Verify that you
are downloading to the correct address. Make sure there are no other peripheral cards
(network adapters, bus mouse, etc.) at the same address. Try changing the card address.
13 Waiting for Data Ready The card did not respond when expected. Verify that you are downloading to the correct
address. Make sure there are no other peripheral cards (network adapters, bus mouse, etc.)
at the same address. Try changing the card address.
14 Purging Data Out Buffer The card output buffer could not be emptied. Verify that you are downloading to the correct
address. Make sure there are no other peripheral cards (network adapters, bus mouse, etc.)
at the same address. Try changing the card address.

address. Make sure there are no other peripheral cards (network adapters, bus mouse, etc.)
at the same address. Try changing the card address.
16 Time-out Waiting for Processor
Startup
The card did not respond as expected. The green LED on the back of the PC-card should be
on for this error to occur. Verify that you are downloading to the correct address. Make sure
there are no other peripheral cards (network adapters, bus mouse, etc.) at the same address.
Try changing the card address. Use a fresh copy of the operating system from the disk that
was shipped with the card. If the green LED on the back of the card flashes briefly during
download of the operating system, the card may need repair.
17 CRC Error The CRC value calculated during download is not the same as stored with the operating
system. Either the file is corrupted on disk, or was corrupted during download. Try a fresh
copy of the operating system. If your computer has a Turbo switch, switch it to low speed.
18 Operating System Rev not
Compatible with Loader Rev
The operating system being downloaded is not compatible with the AT6nnn.EXE file
(downloader) being used. Use the same downloader on the diskette with the operating
system.

new downloader, obtain a new set of ROMS from the factory.
20 Card Read Error (bad compare) The downloader is unable to communicate reliably with the card. Try switching to 8-bit mode
on the card, switching out of Turbo mode on your PC, or using a different address.
21 Card Read Error (outbuf) The downloader is unable to empty the output buffer. There may be an address conflict with
another board. Try a different address.
