IMPORTANT NOTE! Run INSTALL.EXE from DOS only.
----------------------------------------------

1.0.0 Installation Notes
-------------------------

1.1.0 Installing Over Existing UltraSound Software
 ------------------------------------------------------

 Some users may find troubles after installing the new set of s/w over
the existing ones. If this happens, please remove the UltraSound directory
and run setup again.

1.1.1 Users with 16 bit Daughter Board
 --------------------------------------

Remember to change the Codec DMA section to the Daughter Board DMA in the
UltraSound Configurations (double click on the icon with a screw driver
and a UltraSound card). Otherwise you will not be able to hear anything
in windows!

1.2.0 Important Note on Choosing the Base Address
 -------------------------------------------------

If your CD-ROM drive uses the address 3x0 Hex, DO NOT choose 2x0 Hex
(x being the same number) for your UltraSound base address,
or your computer may crash.

1.3.0 Setting up for Windows
 ---------------------------

On some systems the driver may not automatically detect the correct type
of UltraSound card you have installed. Select the new 'UltraSound 
Configuration' icon and select your UltraSound type in the list box on
the upper left corner of the dialog box.

The UltraSound uses DMA buffers when playing and recording data.  The size 
of these buffers can affect the performance of the UltraSound in certain
applications.  The buffer size can be changed in Windows by choosing 
"UltraSound Wave and MIDI Synth" from the Control Panel and selecting
Setup... .  You can then type in a new value for "buf size" in the
sections for DMA Channel A and DMA Channel B.

The default buffers size is 4096 bytes.  Applications that use UltraSound's 
simultaneous digital record/play capabilities may require higher buffers 
settings for optimum performance. The maximum setting is 8192.

Applications such as voice recognition can work better with a smaller
buffer.  If such an application is not working as expected, try using a
smaller buffer size.  The minimum size is 512. 

2.0.0 Bundled Software
 ----------------------

2.1.0 Doom v1.2
 ---------------

 Some systems experience stalls with Doom v1.2. You can use doomfix.exe
in the ULTRASND directory to fix the problem by following the steps:
c:
cd\ultrasnd
copy doomfix.exe c:\doomsw (or wherever you installed doom)
cd\doomsw
doomfix
.... and doom is fixed!

2.2.0 Video for Windows
 -----------------------

 If you experience choppy video with Video for Windows, make sure that
you are using the runtime library 1.1a or above (free upgrades are
available on most BBS) and use 8 bit DMAs and small buffers

2.3.0 Epic Pinball
 ------------------

The first time you run pinball, you will be asked to do a setup. Make sure
that you have rebooted your computer after installing the software and
accept all the defaults. Have Fun!


 3.0.0 Corrections to the User Manual
 -------------------------------------

Pg. 45:
----------
Where it says ULTRAJOY 8, it should say C:\ULTRASND\ULTRAJOY 8.

Pg. 27:
---------
The function Special /Synchronize to INI has been eliminated.

Pg. 49:
---------
The file names near the bottom of the page should read:

COPY GF1DIGI.ADV C:\[game directory]\SBDIG.ADV <enter>
COPY GF1MIDI.ADV C:\[game directory]\SBMID.ADV <enter>

Note!  For some games, the SBMID.ADV file is called SBFM.ADV, in this case,
COPY GF1MIDI.ADV C:\[game directory]\SBFM.ADV <enter>

Pg. 95-99
--------------
Program Number 65 should be High Timbale, not High Tinmbale.
Instrument 3, the UltraSound name should be Honky, not HonkTonk
Instrument 20, the UltraSound Name should be Reedorg, not ReedOrgan
Instrument 36, the UltraSound Name should be Slapbas1, not Stepbas1,
               and the General MIDI name should be Slap Bass 1.
Instrument 37, the UltraSound Name should be Slapbas2, not Stepbas2,
               and the General MIDI name should be Slap Bass 2.
Instrument 44, the UltraSound Name should be Tremstr, not Marcato.
Instrument 127, the UltraSound Name should be Pistol, not Ringwhsl.

About the Gravis Nodes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 All nodes are independent BBSs', and are not run or sponsored by Gravis.  As
 such the logon procedures for each BBS may vary.  For instance, some give
 you immediate access, while others have a probation period which may last
 several days.  All nodes are encouraged to offer all the Gravis files and
 messages to first time callers but this may not always be the case.

 If you are interested in becoming an Authorized Gravis Node you may file
 request or download GRAV-APP.ZIP from the Gravis BBS.
