Subject: Digest Problems Fixed!

Hi everyone,

	Hopefully the Digest problem is fixed once and for all as some
idiot subscribed the gus digest address to the list so that when the
digest gets sent to the digest address, it is in the buffer of the
outgoing digest and then will be in the next days digest.  Oh well, must
be one of those SB or AWE owners on the loose!  Anyways, if this happens
again, please let me know.  Thanks.


							  Cheers,

Subject: Drivers,USNF,Flooding

First, I'd like to hear something from Gravis about the new Megaem,os/2 
drivers,etc that were ALL due out last month, and whether or not they 
WILL be out this month.  If they are coming, could you please show us 
some f**king proof that you guys have something? Say, a public beta?
If not, could you guys stop lying and tell us the truth?

Second, since no one has posted about it, has anyone gotten EA's US Navy 
Fighters to work with the GUS?  The Readme says to setup the GUS for 
MPU401 and SB clone in the game (i.e. load megaem).  This doesn't work.

Third, on the flooding issue why not simply kill all questionable 
messages (say messages over a certain size or including certain lines).

Subject: Good patch replacements?

Hi,

I'm looking for some patch replacements. I currently have the Pro Pats
collection and I really like the guitar and drum samples. However, these
patches (especially the guitar-samples) are quite large and they seem to
have another format then the original patches (MegaEm complains about
incompatible patch-format). Are there other, smaller and good sounding
patch-replacements for the (electric) guitars, saxes, strings and drums?

Greetz,
  Jerry

Subject: Megaem working on a P90?

  I have an Intel motherboard P90 system with a GUS and an SCC-1.  I have
been trying to get Mega-em to work with SB digital and SCC-1 midi.  Has
anyone had any luck??  When I try to run mega-em it gives an error with
extended memory management.  I then tried the -fgdt switch and it tells 
me another program is using the Ultrasound when it isn't..  In all cases
I have turned off roland emulation with the -roff switch.  I am using
version 2.03 of megaem.
Any help will be appreciated...

Thanks all who helped me with the Groliers problem. I got Video for Windows
version 1.1d and that solved the problem.

Subject: Soundless GUS

After installing a Microtek scanner card in what was supposed to be
available memory (starting high at $E000), my GUS went dead.  That is, it
still responds to applications, seems to load patches, etc., but produces
no sound.  I have gone through several changes of DMA, IRQ, other memory
slots for the scanner, etc, to no avail.  Even removing the scanner card
completely doesn't restore things. 

What's strange is that the card behaves just like it is working properly 
-- loads patches, etc.  Just no sound.  When I run setup I get the message

						 On script line 81 we had a problem:
						 Error code 2247

and the setup stops.

I worry that a chip has somehow been zapped, but have no way to find out. 
If anybody has run into a similar problem, I'd be very grateful if you
would tell me what you did.  I suppose a next step would be sending the
card back to Gravis. 

Thanks,   Emory

Subject: US Navy Fighter

US Navy Fighter doesnt support GUS out of the box.!!!

BUT!... I just happened to be looking through the sound  drivers and noticed that
they are using DIGPAK drivers. 

I found if i  copied the gf1666.com driver (which comes with version 3.56 of install disks)
over the soundrv.com and now i have GUS  support. !!! Now thats what i like 8-)

Its not a bad game either!

Subject: USNF + GUS?

I just purchased US Naval Fighters from EA, and am having a tough
time getting it to work with the GUS.  The readme file says that the
GUS isn't supported natively, and it must be configured as a
Roland/SoundBlaster combo.  I took this to mean that MegaEm must be
used, but when I run the game, I simply get a ton of garbled
instrument patches or individual sound samples.  Any ideas?
