The dune2patch and ail drivers do not work correctly on my machine.  I
follow all the steps but when I play the game, it searches on my and b
floppies while it says initiallizing MT-32, and then quits saying not
enough memory.  I am sure I have enough memory though.

Has anyone gotten this to work with dune 2?

I run QEMM v.7, have 8 megs of ram and a microsoft mouse driver loaded.

Anyhelp?

I've tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried to download
from epas and wuarchive without any luck.

I'm after the 2.06L stuff and the Miles drivers; if anybody can give me an
alternative route for getting these, I'd be eternally grateful.

Thanks in advance

	I know, I know...

	I keep saying the digest will be moving...

	But now I'm changing jobs, so the Ultrasound Lists are going
to have to move.

	I saved all the messages from people who said they could hold
the lists at their respective sites; I may be mailing you soon to take
you up on the offer.

	I also need someone to take over maintaining the GUS FAQ; I'm
going to barely have enough time to run the lists soon.  The next time
it will be posted is July 5th; after that, I can't guarantee it will
keep going unless someone else takes it.  So if you're interested,
please mail me.

	I'll let you all know as soon as I have a site secured.

I had moved since I registered my GUS, and I sent John Smith my new
address.  Two weeks ago, behold a big BOX from Gravis.  Thanks a million John.
You guys who haven't got anything yet, just be patient.  It is probably
your friendly neighborhood post office which is tying things up.

Can anyone tell me how they get up their GUS for Win OS/2 2.1
I can't get anything to work.

To whomever uploaded MMJBOX.ARJ on EPAS, you forgot to include the
CTRES.DLL which is required for the "About" function (apparently, since I
got an error when I clicked on About)...

Before i get 50 zillions email... i uploaded the patch stuff in CAPITALS.
Already got 12 pair of email:
Hey i cant find it!
Never mind previous post, i found them... CAPS...

:)

i will also use this opportunity to raise my voice: i got 3 phone calls of
people from this list at the radio station, all of them asking if i had recei
ved the floppies for the GUS. Nope. I have yet to hear from 1 person in
Quebec who got them. What is the problem here? Gravis, have you shipped to
canadians or not?

Ciao,

Subject: Of registrations..
Message-ID: <02JUL93.12855135.0040.MUSIC@POLYTEC1>

Frankly, the excuse for all the missing registration cards sucks.
Anyone who's move _knows_ about leaving a forwarding address, and those
lasts 4 months.  You can then extend it or something silly, and there is
always the central database with the address changes.

Besides, any company that receive any mail should know about this.  It's
not like it's 4 buddies in a 5 1/2 that are changing location, it's a
whole company!

In any case, I had an idea about 5 minutes ago when I heard the last
person whine about not receiving their registration disk (I haven't,
either) : why not start an email server, somewhere, for the damn disks?
The way I see it, people don't care for the _disks_, they want the
_software_ on it.  If it's GUS-related, only GUS-users have any use for
it.  So what if people copy it?  It'll only be used by GUS users, no?
Unless of course powerchord and all support other cards.

I'm programmer, and I haven't yet played with my GUS SDK.  Simply
haven't had time.  But the way things are going, it's easy to see that
every driver GUS has released so far has been far from stable, except
maybe 1.20 - 1.22, which some people still swear by.  :) I wonder,
withall the patches they keep coming up with if the code is not totally
cluttered up with useless junk.  You simply can't attack a problem like
this with a-patch-a-problem.  Maybe Linux IS the way to go - you get
source with most everything, and thus you have a bunch of people
workingon it from different angles.  Problems are found much more
quickly.

Annnyway, maybe it's time for SBOS 3.00, starting from scratch.  Heh.

Steph.  Yeah, I just woke up.

Well, I have tried everything to get the GUS to play the digital sounds on
syndicate, and as of yet, I have only been able to get the background music.
'Digital sounds' are gunshots, the sound of the explosions, people on fire
screaming, time bombs ticking (you really need to hear these), and the sound
the terminal screen makes when they fade in and out.  My setup is all
default 220,7,7,11,5.  IF anyone has any ideas, just pass them my way...thanks

Subject: Soft Karaoke & GUS
Message-ID: <9307021250.AA13231@orca.es.com>

I just purchased and loaded Soft Karaoke on my PC.  For those unfamiliar
with the product, it's a Windows based program which uses MIDI files
combined with the words of the song in text format to emulate a
Karaoke machine.  It's quite fun, and sounds great with a GUS.

Here's my problem.  I have a GUS with 1Meg and am using the default
Windows/GUS MIDI mapper.  I am also loading the 1024K patch set. 
The program allows me to change the
various instruments (such as the instrument which is playing the melody).
It appears as if some instrument patches are not loading as selecting
some of them yields no output.  Should I alter the patch map?  Is
there something else I should check?

In general, all of the songs play with their default instruments.
I'd also recommend the program for fun party entertainment.

	I'm getting TIRED of this!  We're in july and I never saw the
color of the Gravis' Disks box.  I wrote to John Smith and he told me that
I was in their database and my address was correct.  The question is: Did
they sent a package with my name & address on it?  C'mon!  It's almost
impossible that Canada Post would take more than a month to deviler a
package in their own country!  I'm living in New-Brunswick.  Anyone else
have this problem??!?!  I'm getting TIRED and PISSED!

Well... I'll keep it quick.  Ultima VII (part I)... anyone know if they will
work?  (Crash and burn on any attempts I have made so far).  And just
as a shot in the dark... how 'bout Lemmings 2 (although I would doubt it on
this one)?  Thanx

Geez Tim, since you're beyond the point of rational thinking, I feel
compelled to put in my $0.02 worth and perhaps make some sense of
the situation. Now Tim. You can scream, kick, go down to Gravis with
a machine gun and shoot everyone in sight. But the bottom line is, 
they've sent it all out. It's all in the hands of the postal service.
What DO you want them to the do? What CAN they do? Instead of saying....
I don't want to hear any of your stories. That's not the point. I don't
care what kind of problems you guys have. I WANT MY DISKS!.....
Care to SUGGEST something that they can do? Let's be productive here.
What kinds of solutions can you suggest?

Thomas.

I'm getting "unknown host" when I try to ftp or even ping anything at
utoronto.edu.  Can't connect to either archive.epas.utoronto.edu or
klingon.epas.utoronto.edu for this reason.  Is there something wrong?  I
have no problem connecting to other sites.

What might their IP addresses be?
