Were you expecting them to?  3.53 was released primarily to support the
Gus Max, and some enhancements and bug fixes for the regular GUS.  I saw
nothing about OS/2 in any of the announcements or read.me's.

Subject: 353 files

Ok, it looks like I must have missed some digests so I'll ask again.  I
downloaded the GUS 353 upgrade from the orst.edu site and could not get them
all to open.  I keep getting an "error in line 1191" message for several of
the patches.  Consequently, I have no cymbals or some of the other patches
that I use frequently in composing.  Basically from what I can tell, gus004
thru gus006 files will not unzip.  Help me find a solution so I can get a
complete installation!! THANKS!

Also, I am still looking for someone who knows how to help with this:
I use Finale 2.2 as a music notator/composer.  It is Soundblaster
compatable, but must run in enhanced mode on Windows.  Consequently, I am
having trouble getting all the channels to sound when I run the playback
command in Finale.  Is there a GUS driver that is SB compatable that runs in
Windows in enhanced mode?  And if so, how do I set it up?  Thanks!

Hi,
I haven't received any mail from here for about 3 weeks...is this list dead?
If not, could someone please reply to my e-mail address?  It would then seem
I'm not signed on here...how do you subscribe to here?  I've forgotten.
Thank you!  =)

Subject: Memory Upgrade Deal

Anyone know if gravis is still offering a memory upgrade deal for the 
GUS?  I FTPed gravupgr.zip from ORST and found the ad for a 512K upgrade 
for 10 bucks.  It <the ad> seemed kinda old so I just wanted to make sure.
  Also any phone # for sales info/purchase available?

Subject: Mixer for GUS

Does anyone out there have a DOS mixer for the GUS? Something like the 
one that comes with the Sound Blaster cards? Also, does anyone have any 
idea how I can set up the gus so that it can use a speech recognition 
program in windows without playing the input from the michrophone? If I 
mute the michrophone input, the program doesn't get the input? Anyone 
else have any idea what I'm talking about? Or am I just spreading my 
confusion?

Subject: Nevermind re: where's Digest

		Well, no sooner spoken than I get today's (6/19) Digest. Real short,
anyone left here? I hate to ask a probably frequent question here lately,
but what's up with the Digest? Someone on a loooong vacation? Or just
everybody but me <g>?
 
		Assuming I keep getting the Digest, I'll repeat my most recent and
still-pressing questions; anyone got Microprose' Pacific Air War to sound
decent?  Sorry, I missed any replies last time, please email me if you get
good sound so I'm sure to get your answer. Any word on the fabled protected-
mode MegaEm, or any updates thereto? Everyone re-subscribing and back on yet?

As far as I can remember, you just have to load Ultramid -c
before starting Dune.

Subject: Still have GUS MAX ram chips

I still have five 256x16 SOJ chips left for upgrading the GUS MAX to 1Mb.
This is the genuine NEC part.  I received them on Friday, and the first
four went out this morning.  The chips work just fine in my GusMax (well,
the one that I installed, anyway. :)

Reply via e-mail for details if you want one.  I am expecting one more
money order for two of the five left any day now.  You only need one of
them to upgrade, and the cost is $31.00 US, including UPS ground shipping.

Hi Fellow Gusers,

After going to school and being away from my GUS for many months, I am a

also the latest version of Megaem?  Also, can someone show me the 
procedure for upgrading... Thanks... Any help will be appreciated...

I just got this new game, and I have a few problems.  First off, what 
the heck happened to Epic including GUS support in all their recent 
games?  Hank?  And the digital effects don't even work right with SBOS, 
whenever one is played, the action pauses.  Thanx!
