In my reply above I should have said "but it ALSO supports...".  The
reason I replied is because it DOES support the .au format.  I've
personally used it as I have a SPARCstation at work.  One might have
assumed this, but it's not necessarily clear thanks to my wording.
Sorry.

Subject: DOOM crashing

Bryon - 
		Take this for what it is worth, I only started playing DOOM this
past weekend.  I took my computer over to a friends and did the null-modem
thing so we could go head to head, but my computer kept locking up.  I have
a 486 dlc-40 board.

Since then I've found 2 contributors besides the irq - both are in my BIOS
settings.  If you have these option in your BIOS, turn Hidden Refresh off
and also disable any Video Shadowing.  I did this last night and played
successfully for an hour, no hang ups.  Hope this helps your situation (ps
- I found these somewhere in the README.EXE that came with DOOM.)

P.S.  Everyone there couldn't believe the cool DOOM music and thought the
sound effects were awesome (compared to my friend's lame SoundBastard).

P.P.S.  E-mail bounced, so I hope you're getting this.

I have 512K on my GUS and I was getting these lockups too.  Playing with
settings helped the problem, my old settings were: 220,1,1,5,5
I changed them to:  220,5,5,5,5
and then went into the default.cfg file in the Doom directory and changed the
sblaster_???  <<<< (sorry, I'm not at my home computer, but it was something
like that) from a 1 to a 5.  This reduced the lockups from once every five or
ten minutes, to once every 4 or 5 hours (just remember to save often).

The lockups usually seem to occur nowadays when I'm chaingunning a cacodemon,
or something equally sound intensive.  I've also changed my channels from
4 (the max allowed in the setup program) to 8 (you have to edit the default.cfg
file for this too).  This reduces clipping (as has been said here before),
and who knows, it might even help with preventing the lockups too.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone know of a mail server I can get gus0041 from ? I would FTP

long distance call for me. I'd still probably try and FTP it, but I'm 
only getting about 100cps over the link (from the states anyway) *and* I
keep loosing the carrier at times. So if anybody does know... ?

Or, could some kind sole send me it in mail ? IF YOU DO, PLEASE TELL ME

You bet they will -- since Chicago supports Windows 3.1 drivers, we already

I think we will just have to wait for version 1.3, since 1.2 (and 1.2 only) has
this GUS lockup problem (I never had a problem before 1.2).

I was just about to register to continue the DOOM mayhem, but now I have to wait
for 1.3.   :-(

Subject: Re: Is Windows better than OS/2 mass-debate

I really don't think we want to get into this here, but to stop people 
who may be mislead by some of this crap, here goes (take this lightly):

Windows NT for servers and highend workstations

- grunt software that does run a bit slow for most workstations.
- rated superior as a database server by everyone including IBM who are 
porting DB/2 and CICS to it.
- About 200 native applications available now.
- not for home users.

Windows 3.x and W4W 3.x

- cheap software for low end workstations. Not as stable as others, but 
recovers quickly too. Plenty of hardware drivers.
- about 45 million users which is like 75% of the PC market.
- countless software products and developers.
- environment of choice for home users.

"Chicago"

- Windows 4.0, new messaging services builtin, preemptive multitasking, 
netware client. Runs in 4MB (it does, I've seen it)
- Part of the Win32 strategy that is a clearly mapped migration path for 
users.
- ???

OS/2 2.1

- Powerful desktop software. Biggest selling point is the ability to 
show two video clips at the same time while formatting a floppy disk! (I 
buy preformatted disks these days, anyone else?)
Also touted as being able to run all the most powerful software 
available today. Er... that seems to be Windows software they're 
referring to.
Certainly more robust than Windows, but Windows takes a minute to reboot 
while OS/2 takes like 5 minutes. If Windows falls over less than 5 times 
a day, you're in front. (I certainly am)
- A few million users at best. May be more since IBM started giving it 
away for $69.
- receiving little or no support from the industry, handful of products 
with the only mainstream user apps coming from Lotus. Those apps are 
behind in features compared to Windows versions. More vendors backing 
away from it each day, including Lotus who have put their production 
teams into neutral at the moment.
- okay for home use if you don't mind running Windows software with it, 
don't have exotic hardware, don't mind having to put better hardware in 
it, don't mind that Windows support will break with any updates, don't 
mind that Windows software suppliers usually won't want to support you, 
don't mind that IBM haven't indicated any clear picture of the future to 
the users.

And last of all, since this a GUS list, the GUS will work with:
Windows 3.x, W4W 3.x, "Chicago" with existing drivers (hey why not take 
the opportunity!), and I don't know about NT.

Last, I had heard there were a few OS/2 users complaining about a lack 
of OS/2 drivers, but hey, since the MAC has a much larger installed base 
than OS/2, maybe we will see some MAC drivers first!

Get the idea?

Lets leave the discussion at that, or take it off line if anyone needs 
any clarification. (Oh gosh, here comes the mail!)

Subject: OS/2 Issues

An interseting point:

If you're using OS/2 and have a GUS in the system, you might find a bunch of
conflicts unless you use a driver for the GUS. If you don't use a driver, the
GUS won't initialize properly and you may see intermittent printer problems and
so forth.

I had a conflict with a SCSI card, printer, modem, and GUS. Until I used the
GUS driver, I couldn't get these solved; use the driver.

Subject: RFD: comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard reorganization

Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard,comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.misc
The following RFD has been cross posted to news.annouce.newgroups, news.groups,
and comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard. Also, the follow up group will be the
news.groups.

Request For Discussion:

This is a formal Request For Discussion concerning the groups
comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard and the illegal group comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard.GUS.
This RFD is to remove the groups comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard.GUS and replace
comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard with the four following groups:
	comp.sys.ibm.pc.(hardware).soundcard.games
	comp.sys.ibm.pc.(hardware).soundcard.music
	comp.sys.ibm.pc.(hardware).soundcard.tech
	comp.sys.ibm.pc.(hardware).soundcard.advocacy

All of these groups will be unmoderated.

The purpose of having hardware in parentheses is the possible of placing
the soundcard group under the hardware hierarchy. This is mainly for
conforming to the other ibm pc hardware groups.

Charters for proposed groups:
   a) comp.sys.ibm.pc.(hardware).soundcard.games - Unmoderated discussion of
		using IBM-PC compatible games with a specific soundcard, resolving
		compatibility problems of a certain soundcard with a particular game,
		discussing campaigns at software groups to have more native
		soundcard support, questions if a particular game supports a certain
		soundcard, and questions on which soundcard is best for a particular
		game or all games in general.

   b) comp.sys.ibm.pc.(hardware).soundcard.music - Unmoderated discussion of
		software that plays back and record sound and music files, music
		formats such as WAV, VOC, MIDI, MOD, STM, 669, ULT, ROL, etc.,
		resolving problems with musical software, discussing which software
		or hardware is best for a particular musical or sound project, and 
	questions concerning sampling or sound patch making.

   c) comp.sys.ibm.pc.(hardware).soundcard.tech - Unmoderated discussion of
		questions concerning programming a particular soundcard, discussing
		hardware problems such as loss of sound from a particular channel,
		discussing the pros and cons of a particular sound generation scheme,
		questions on the compatibility of the soundcard to a particular
		computer type, operating system, and peripheral such as a CD-ROM
		drive, questions about the functionality of a particular soundcard,
		and resolving hardware problems.

   d) comp.sys.ibm.pc.(hardware).soundcard.advocacy - Unmoderated discussion
	of the pros and cons of soundcards in general. This discussion will
	possibly overlap some discussions on the other soundcard groups. Also
	reviews of soundcards and future opinions and tests of soundcards
	will be placed in this group to be discussed by the users. 

Justification:

		The sudden increase in the volume of messages posted to the group
		comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard has caused the suggestion of splitting the
		group to appear. Many users on the group have expressed interest
		in dividing the group because the topics listed on the group are
		varied tremendously. Having approximately 200+ new messages a day
	on this group is expensive to some users who must pay for the 
	receiving the usenet group based upon amount of information as well
	as paying for the amount of time needed to sort through all of the
	messages. Currently, a heated debate is present on the c.s.i.p.s
	group which is disrupting those users more interested in new software
	and problems. They have expressed concern that some are not able to 
		keep up with all of the traffic and decided that
		by splitting the group, this would allow them to read the messages
		relevant to their interests pertaining to their soundcard.

	The comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard.GUS is unrecognized usenet group
	throughout many news servers. Therefore, to avoid confusion and to
	reorganize the entire soundcard group, this illegal group must be
	eliminated. Many GUS users are satisfied with removing this group
	and using the four above mentioned subgroups.
	
	There was also concern about where this group should be located, under
		the comp.syd.ibm.pc hierarchy or comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware hierarchy. 
	Most are flexible with the location of these groups. It is a matter 
	which is better in terms of an organizational point of view. By
		placing these groups under the hardware hierarchy, these groups will 
	be seven levels deep. Also, by leaving the split groups under the
	comp.sys.ibm.pc hierarchy, the transition would be less disrupting. 

Rationale:

		The idea of spliting the group was tossed around the c.s.i.p.s
	group many times. However, no action was ever taken. It is hoped
	that finally with the dramatic increase in messages, that this
	reorganization would make the group more efficient and easier to
	use. Questions had to be raised about add another group, a
	c.s.i.p.soundcard.GUS group which would handle all topics 
	specific to the Gravis Ultrasound card. Presently, a majority of
	messages on the group is concerned with this card. Now with the
	a 100 message increase because of a heated debate (flame war?)
	the rational users want the group to be split. This eventually let to
		a group discussion about splitting up the soundcard group based upon
		the particular cards discussed, such as the Ultrasound, Soundblaster,
		Pro Audio Spectrum, etc. However, further discussion revealed that a
		majority thought that such a split would be short term due to the
		possibility of an unexpected loss of interest in a particular product.
		Therefore, because of the prospect of new soundcards being released
		that would increase the number of messages to the group, the prospect
		of more pc users of becoming involved in the multimedia revolution,
		and the steadily increase in messages in this group, it was decided
		that the group should be split based upon the topics mentioned above.

		The games group was chosen because a great number of posts on the
		soundcard group are concerned with how to use a particular soundcard
		with a particular game and what soundcard is best to use with game.
		Many users were concerned that the group was overrun with posts
		concerning how to get a particular game to work with a particular
		soundcard. They had to try to sift through the 200+ message a day
		to look for non-game compatibility messages. Therefore,
		the music group was also chosen because the other large part of
		message is related to the production of music. These include what
		programs can use a particular music format, and what programs exist
		to create programs. Also, in this group is the topic of sounds
		such as digitizing sound bytes and songs. A separate group was not
		created because many of the problems and solutions concerning
		recording or playing back sounds is related to the music production
		scene. The tech section was chosen because many users occasionally
		have questions about the technical aspect of soundcard, such as
		the pros and cons on how a soundcard generates sounds. Also,
		any hardware problems and compatibility would be discussed. But
		most importantly, the advocacy group would handle the bulk of the
	soundcard debate and keep it away from those more concerned
	with games or music. Such a split would try to evenly distribute the
	messages throughout the sub groups. Most agree that sorting through
	50+ is cheaper and less time-consuming.

Schedule:

		These proposals have been discussed informally in the comp.sys.ibm.
		pc.soundcard group for the past five  weeks. I have decided to write
		the RFD to have the group split. I have been keeping count of
		the number of users in favor and against the proposal. Because of
		the vast majority of those in favor of splitting the group, I  have
		made the RFD request. The posting of this RFD will begin the
		discussion period lasting 21 days. The discussion will take
		place in news.groups. Do not vote on this RFD now.

		After the 21 days and/or there are no unresolvable points, a
		formal Call For Votes will be announced.

	2)  With the 2.06m Install disks I am missing MidiSoft Recoding
		Session, PowerChords For Ultrasound, Power Chords Tutorial,
		Power Chords Demo, and Ultra Help.  The GUS manaul says I should
		get this, Synergy says its 'Not included with the standard 
		package.  It can be yours for just $10.00"  Is this normal?
	3)  How should I setup my GUS for ease of use with most programs?
		IRQs, DMAs, port addresses, etc....
	4)  What utils should I FTP?
	5)  Some basic Do's and Dont's for the GUS and for using it with

				 Then shalt thou count to three.
				 No more, no less.
				 *Three* shall be the number of the counting, and the number
				 of the counting shall be three.
				 *Four* shalt thou not count, and neither count thou two,
				 excepting that thou then goest on to three.
				 Five is RIGHT OUT.  Once the number three, being the third
				 number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade
				 to-wards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff
				 it.  Amen.
All: Amen.

To all who know,
	I have a couple problems:

	1.)  Ever since I upgrades my SBOS from the one in disk 2.06, I get
NO sound at all from XWing or UltraBots.  I used to get sound and music from
them, just not good.  MegaEm of course works great with both except an
annoying high pitched beep whenver a rebel ship flies by in Xwing.  Xwing
recognizes SB emulation but I get no sound.  A few -o_ options have been
tried to no avail.  Any ideas?

	2.) Since I upgrades to gus0041[a,b] I can't get Megaem to work because
I am missing charang.pat and honky.pat.  Who knows what other .PAT's I am 
missing besides.  Any clue where I can get these PAT files?

	Thanks for any and all help in advance.

	Steven Sesterhenn

PS  Oh yeah, I have rev2.4 and had disks 2.06 before.  Bought my GUS in 6/93.
