                             Gravis UltraSound
                      Driver Installation Instructions


You can print  these  instructions on your printer by typing the following at 
the DOS prompt:

COPY /B READ.ME LPT1:  <ENTER>

These  drivers  are  ONLY for Sierra games that support General MIDI.  Use of
these  drivers  on  other Sierra games may give unpredictable results, or may 
not work at all.  Future Sierra  game  releases  will contain support for the  
Gravis UltraSound. Specific instructions for installing the Gravis UltraSound
drivers in future games can be found in the owners manual or README file that 
come with the game.

_____________________________________________________________________________
The Gravis UltraSound drivers will work with the following games:

          Dagger of Amon RA (CD)             Freddy Pharkas           
          Hoyle Classic (VGA)                Island of Dr. Brain       
          King's Quest VI                    Lost Secret of the Rain forest
          Pepper's Adventures in Time        Police Quest (VGA)          
          Quest for Glory (VGA)              Quest for Glory III                  
          Slater and Charlie                 Space Quest V
          King's Quest VI (CD) 

IMPORTANT NOTE: These drivers are for Sierra  games only.  They will not work

Installation of Gravis Ultra Sound Drivers.

To  begin  installation  of the Gravis UltraSound drivers, you must first run 
the  Gravis  install  program  by typing UMINSTAL <ENTER>.  This program will 
create the appropriate INI files for your system configuration.

If  the  Sierra  game you plan to add the Gravis UltraSound drivers to is not 
currently installed to the hard drive, install it now.

Insert the GUS drivers  disk into drive A: or drive B: (Drive B: will be used 
for this example)

C:  <ENTER>                               (Drive  where  game  is installed.)
CD\SIERRA  <ENTER>                        (Directory where game is installed)
COPY B:\*.*    <ENTER>                    (Drive were the GUS driver disk is)
COPY INSTALL.* C:\SIERRA\gamedir <ENTER>  (gamedir  = game subdirectory name)
COPY *.DRV C:\SIERRA\gamedir <ENTER>      (gamedir =  game subdirectory name)
LH ULTRAMID -C -M100 <ENTER>              (This  may  take some time to load)
CD\SIERRA\gamedir <ENTER>                 (gamedir =  game subdirectory name)
INSTALL <ENTER>                           (To change music and sound choices)

Once  you  have  started  the  Sierra  installation  program,  go to the game 
configuration  menu  and highlight the music option and press <ENTER>. Change 
the  music option by highlighting the Gravis UltraSound  (GUS)  driver  which  
is  now  listed and press  <ENTER>.  Next, highlight  the  audio  option  and 
press <ENTER>.  Highlight the Gravis  UltraSound (GUS) driver  which  is  now  
listed  and  press  <ENTER>.  Highlight the "Accept  these  choices  and save 
configuration" option and press <ENTER>.  Keep pressing the <ENTER> key until 
you return to DOS.  The next time you run your Sierra game,  it will make use 
of the specific Gravis Ultrasound drivers.  


WINDOWS USERS PLEASE NOTE:  If Windows has been loaded after the ULTRAMID.EXE
TSR  has  been  used,  you  will  need  to  unload  ULTRAMID.EXE by using the
following  parameters, and then re-run it for use with any Sierra game.  This
is  required  since the Windows drivers overwrite the ULTRAMID instruments in
the  GUS built in RAM.  To un-install ULTRAMID.EXE, use the following at a C:
prompt.

ULTRAMID  -F  <ENTER>

                   Manual installation for advanced users.

If you would like to perform a manual installation of the GRAVIS drivers, you
will need to edit the file in your game directory named RESOURCE.CFG.

Using your favorite  text editor, change the following lines in RESOURCE.CFG:
soundDrv,  audioDrv.  The text immediately following the "=" must be replaced 
with  a  command line showing the game exactly where your  GRAVIS drivers are 
located.  The  location  of  the  drivers  is  not  critical,  but we suggest 
C:\SIERRA\gamedir (gamedir is the game subdirectory).

It  is  important to save your edited RESOURCE.CFG file as ASCII text without
word  processor  formatting.  Use the following example as a guideline - your
RESOURCE.CFG file contents may vary.

videoDrv  =    VGA320.DRV                      (No change required)
soundDrv  =    C:\SIERRA\gamedir\GMGUS.DRV     (Pointing to special driver)
audioDrv  =    C:\SIERRA\gamedir\AUDGUS.DRV    (Pointing to special driver)
joyDrv    =    NO                              (No change required)
kbdDrv    =    IBMKBD.DRV                      (No change required)
mouseDrv  =    YES                             (No change required)
memoryDrv =    ARM.DRV                         (No change required)
directory =    C:\SIERRA\GAMEDIR               (Individual game directory)
audioSize =    12K                             (*See special note below)
minHunk   =    206k                            (No change required)
cd        =    YES                             (For CD games only)


*Note on audioSize:
If  the  default  "audioSize"  is  set to 32K, you will need to lower it.  We 
suggest  audioSize = 12.  Some CD ROM drives may require a larger number such 
as 16 or 24.

SQ4 CD and The Dagger of Amon Ra CD both defaults to an audioSize of 32K.

It is also  possible to  add the ULTRAMID -C -M100  line  as the last line in
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  If you do this you will always be loading the Sierra
version  of  ULTRAMID.  Gravis  may  be creating more versions of ULTRAMID so
this line could cause conflict in the future if you need multiple versions of
the Gravis ULTRAMID program.  Contact Advanced Gravis for more information.

WINDOWS USERS PLEASE NOTE:  If Windows has been loaded after the ULTRAMID.EXE
TSR  has  been  used,  you  will  need  to  unload  ULTRAMID.EXE by using the
following  parameters, and then re-run it for use with any Sierra game.  This
is  required  since the Windows drivers overwrite the ULTRAMID instruments in
the  GUS built in RAM.  To un-install ULTRAMID.EXE, use the following at a C:
prompt.

ULTRAMID -F  <ENTER>
