Hi GUSers,
I wrote a quick hack GUS version of Cthugha. It's on EPAS and its mirrors
in the incoming directory, called GUSCTHUG.ZIP.
If you don't know what Cthugha is, JUST TRY IT! It's great!

Subject: GUS and Pentium users - please read (SBOS problem)

I have a Gateway 2K P5-60 system with a GUS installed.  SBOS refuses to work
on this system because of some type of conflict with the PS/2 mouse port.

I am currently talking with GW tech support trying to get the problem solved,
but I am having a *lot* of trouble convincing them that it is the Gateway P5
and not the GUS.  I know that other GW P5 owners have complained here about
similar problems, so I am fairly conviced myself.

What I'd like to do is make a mini-survey of GUS/Pentium combinations so I
can pass the information on to Gateway.  My hope is that having a some
statistics on the GW systems (and other systems) will get them looking for
a solution instead of trying to dodge the problem.

If you have a Gateway P5 (and SBOS doesn't work for you), your response
may help to get the problem fixed for both of us.  If you have any other kind
of Pentium (or SBOS works on *your* Gateway), I hope you'll reply out of
sheer kindness and love of fellow man.

The following information is not all necessary, but it will be helpful if
you can fill out as much as possible:

Manufacturer (GW2K, Dell, etc.)    :
Clock Speed                :
Motherboard rev. (Mine is rev. 4)  :
BIOS version (Mine is 1.00.03.AF2) :
Bus type (PCI/ISA, PCI/EISA, etc.) :
Graphics Card (ATI PCI GUP, etc.)  :
Mem manager (QEMM, EMM386, etc.)   :

Mouse Type (Serial, PS/2 port)     :
Mouse driver (mine is MS v9.01)    :
Does SBOS work on your system (y/n):

If you can think of anything else that may be significant, please include
that information as well.  Please *e-mail* responses to:

						   jgt1@ra.msstate.edu

I will reply when I receive your message.

Thanks for your time,

I spoke with Sierra Tech Support (Got a problem? Make a boot disk! :-) and
the person said that within the resource.cfg file, there is a line
AudioSize (I think). It's 63k in mine; he said to up it to 80k. FWIW, I've
got 12MB of memory in my system.

I also found out that one will have to edit install.hlp to use the INSTALL
program. There are a couple lines for the Gravis UltraSound (indicating a
desire at some point to support the GUS), but the filenames don't match the
new drivers. Either edit the lines (and the blah.hlp line right below it)
or rename the drivers to the "original" name...

Subject: Kyrandia I CD... How to hack KYRACD.CFG?

Hello, I recently bought Kyrandia I CD and I have had no problems
getting MEGA-EM to run for MT-32 sound and my SB-PRO in the same
machine for the voices, etc.  However, I'd like to use the SB-PRO
also for Sound Effects, because I don't like hearing a trumpet when
I should be hearing an explosion, etc. The configuration program
doesn't give you an option for which soundcard you want for sound
effects, but it does list it on the final "are you sure" screen like
this:

Musical soundtrack: ROLAND MT-32/LAPC-1
Sound effects     : ROLAND MT-32/LAPC-1
Voices            : SOUND BLASTER PRO

Now, I was thinking why would it list it seperate if you couldn't
change it... I noticed the configuration file (KYRACD.CFG) is exactly
10 bytes long, and so is the one for LOLCD, another Westwood/Virgin
game, but LOLCD let's you choose different cards for voice, music AND
sound effects... So, you can probably hack it to do this but does
anyone know how?  I tried copying my LOLCD.CFG over my KYRACD.CFG but
it just blew up...  Please e-mail me if you have any ideas!  Thanks
Carl

Subject: MegaEM and OS/2

Hi everyone,

	Can anyone tell me what DOs setting should I use to use MegaEM 
under OS/2.  Or is it impossible?  I always have to boot into DOS 
everytime.  Hopefully, the new protected mode MegaEM should work fine 
under OS.2

Hey guys, I own the registered version of Epic Pinball (all 8 tables)
The new one sounds fantastic, especially the (((surround sound))) 
:D:D:D! Could anyone tell me the price from the MASI upgrade and how 
much the third pack would be for a registered owner, and how I would go 
about ordering it in Canada?  Your help is appreaciated.

This message was worth [ ] on a scale of one to ten.

Greetings,

Didn't d/l all of the GUS disk sets v3.53.  Does this disk set have newer 
and better patches?

Thanks,
