Is anyone currently writing their own drivers?  I don't have to time to
start from scratch on my own, but would be willing to jump in and offer
any help I could.  Or if anyone would like to attempt to start with me we
could see what we can come up with.  I spoke with Matthew at Gravis and
after speaking with him I don't really expect to see anything before the
end of the year.  I thought I had heard of such a project going on a long
time ago, but that's all I ever heard.

I have IBM's C Set++ and an assembler, so all I would need is the info on
writing device drivers.

Message-ID: <199309161440.AA22709@Ra.MsState.Edu>

I am finally buying a cdrom to go with my GUS and I would like to make
sure that I am not making a mistake in buying the Panasonic 562.
(I checked the FAQ and there was no mention of cdroms)

Any comments would be appreciated. (lestrade@ra.msstate.edu)

thanks

PS: After telling all of my friends about the superiority of wavetable
over FM, I was very disappointed to see the GUS look so bad in the
recent Computer Shopper (just arrived Sept 15).  It is at the bottom!

Does anyone know if the daughterboard that connects the GUS to A CD-ROM is
available yet, and if so, what price?

Message-ID: <9309162023.AA11933@csa.bu.edu>

I don't think anybody else has mentioned this, but the seal team demo
supports the miles drivers.(It's on wuarchive.wustl.edu for those
of you that want to try it.)  Just copy over the .adv files(You don't
even have to copy over the soundblaster and roland .adv files) and
create 2 files, one .adg and one .add file.(I forget if you should
create gf1digi.adg and gf1midi.add, or gf1digi.add and gf1midi.adg)
The contents of these 2 can be anything, but I just made them contain
the string "Gravis Ultrasound".  When you run the setm and setd files,
you should see a selection for the ultrasound.  Oh, don't forget to
run ultramid.

Hello,

  I am wondering if Gravis is alive or not, I have been trying for the past
month to see if I am registered yet, as I'm thinking of getting a few
things, but you need to be registered to get the discount. I have Emailed
them, no luck there. I have sent in 2 registration cards... All I would
like to know is if I am a registered GUS user yet? (I sent them in in late
April/Early May).

If Gravis is reading this, PLEASE Email me. Thank you!

  There was a file on epas on how to construct a MIDI box for the GUS...
has the file been relocated, or is it not for the public...?

Can any one explain to me the problem with opti chipsets and the GUS?
I have a 486dx266 66-66 VlLB with an opti chipset and have previously had an 386dx
-25 with an opti chipset and I have never had problems that where realted to the GUS and the chipset.  

Could someone plaeeaseease eith er explain this or give me an example or plroblem that I can try so as to exploit or procve this theory!!!

Subject: ordering things direct from Gravis
Message-ID: <199309162205.AA27567@albania.inst.medtronic.COM>

I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience.

I called Gravis one day using a 1-800 number that I have since lost,
and ordered a daughtercard for the Matsumi CDROM drive that I've got
installed in my 486DX33.

They said the card was shipping, and should ship in a couple of days
and took my Mastercard number and address and I started my wait.

After about six weeks, I figured the card wasn't coming, since it
never appeared on my Mastercard bill, and I never received any phone
calls, or letters about it.  Since I lost their 1-800 number, I tried
sending mail to sales@gravis.com and waited for a reply.

Nothing happened, and that was a week ago.

Has anyone else got the Matsumi daughtercard?  Is it worth getting?
Incidently the price I was quoted was $30 plus s&h.

	Hi !
	I sent my registration card 'bout two months ago, can I know if you guys at Gravis received it?. When are you shipping the new software?
I am wooried because I could have sent my card to the old adress, so it could 
have get lost... If so , is there a chance that you (@Gravis) could send me 
the Software via e-mail?

Message-ID: <9309161207.AA29286@sirius.corel.ca>

Hi,
  A couple of postings back, someone mentioned that loading and then
unloading SBOS would get rid of the conflict with SoundBlaster cards 
already in the system.
  What I would like to know is what switch I use to unload SBOS.  I've
looked through almost all the documentation I have about it but haven't found
the switch to unload it.
  Can anybody enlighten me as to what the correct switch may be?

Thanks,
Steve

Subject: ULTRAMID and LINE IN
Message-ID: <Pine.3.02.9309161949.A25337-b100000@clement>

Hi,

	Is there a way to leave the 'Line IN' enabled when loading ULTRAMID?
Here's why.  I'm currently playing The 7th Guest.  I found out that during
the intro screen, a soundtrack is being played directly from the CD.  But
my CD audio OUT is plugged into my GUS' Line IN.  When I load ULTRAMID,
the Line IN is automatically turned off.  If I run 'GSET LO' (which puts
it on), the digital sound inside T7G is totally screwed.  So I'm asking,
is there a switch with ULTRAMID that leaves the Line IN enabled when
loading.  If not, is it possible to do so in a future release?  If you
look at it, many future CD-ROM games may do the same thing (using CD audio
for introduction or something...).  You already did it with SBOS, I think.
	Also, John Smith wrote something about modifying the GROOVIE.INI
file for the GUS in a past issue of the digest.  Is it possible to know
what are those modifications?
	A copy of this message has been sent to the Digest, John Smith,
Paul Malcolm and Matthew Arbeid to make sure someone reads me. :)
	Thank you for reading and I'm waiting for your reply.
