You probably have a poorly-designed motherboard that can't handle too
much loading on the I/O bus.

Nothing to lose sleep over.  Using a 16-bit DMA channel, you _might_
notice a decrease in the time it takes patches to load.

Subject: 16 bit DMA problems and feedback from DD V3 #45

I may be asking a stupid question, but would it be possible that a mechanism
could be setup so that a search string could be mailed in a subject to
gus-general-search and a reply could come back via email with all digests that
had a string (anywhere in the body, not just the subject list) that matched the
search string in the request.  

I think that if this existed and was mentioned at the end of each digest, 
people would quit repeating the same questions requiring reposting of 
information like I'm about to do.  I'm finding that I'm not able to keep all 
old digest's that I find interesting due to space problems, and it seems silly 
for everyone to keep copies anyway, since there is a central depository.  
I'm assuming for simplicity sake that there could be one search-request address
that would search all digests, gus-general gus-sdk gus-music etc.  I suppose 
if it were easy to make it an option, mailing all digests that match might be 
useful as well.  I think it would work fine for most people if the reply just 
mentioned the correct way for using the ftp-mail request for past digests, 
although it would be nice to just request a second email of old digests, 
without uuencoding etc.

Some motherboards do not support DMA well and as a result do not work
well with the Gravis Ultrasound sound card.  What follows is a list of
answers to the following three questions:

1.  Describe your motherboard.
2.  Can you use 16-bit DMA?
3.  Any other problems?

Hopefully this list will help us all to purchase PC's and motherboards
which support DMA.

I am willing to continue serving as a clearinghouse for this information,
so please let me know about your motherboard.

OK. I use GUS/QEMM 7.03 with Stealth M, And DOS4GW  (SimCity 2000) They 
all work fine together. You have to stop "stealth" from grabbing the part 
of video BIOS used by SVGA. (This is in the QEMM Manual). Put a 
"X=b000-b7ff" in the QEMM line to protect SVGA graphics. Then all games 
using SVGA will run fine. This is not a DOS4GW issue; rather it's a 
stealth/video issue. DOS4GW is a DPMI program compatible with the DPMI 
program in QEMM. These two are compatible. Make sure to protect your SVGA 
region from Stealth and all should work fine.

I can verify that there is NO general problem with DOS4GW and QEMM's
Stealth feature, from either version 6 or version 7, with any version of
DOS4GW 1.8 or later.  Tech support at Quarterdeck is also fond of DOOM and
Shadow Caster and other games.  We play NetDOOM with ODI, Novell and TCPIP
loaded, full-on Stealth is active on everyone's machines.  Those machines
that crash with DOOM also crash without QEMM - DOS4GW 1.9 and later does
not like certain motherboards (mine at home included).  I cannot get DOOM
to run unless I toss the config/auto with the F5 key at boot up.  But at
work, I've played NetDOOM many times on a PS/2 Model 90 and a NCR
Microchannel Model 3350, both with ST:M and the network stack, disk cache,
etc. all loaded and active (I'm Mr. Microchannel at Qdeck tech support -
the other techs all have ISA or EISA bus machines).

Currently, you can get QEMM v7, Shadow Caster, and Privateer bundled
together in our Christmas Game Pack for (I think) $89.95.  Shadow is a
DOS4GW game.  Privateer uses the JEMM custom extender that Origin
developed.  We don't select games to bundle with QEMM unless we know they
are compatible with all its features (and have tested them to verify
this).  In fact, both games work great in DESQview, even (Privateer needs
a one-byte patch for DV-compatibility, though).  I am going to try Shadow
Caster in DV today, now that I have 32 bit AIL drivers for it, and the GUS
offloads sound overhead from the CPU, so it ought to fly pretty good! :)

OK, so by the looks of it, I'm in the same boat as Frederick. I have the

I guess this is why I have so much trouble with 16 bit DMA. Now that I

What's a good site to upload a good general-purpose utility to?  The
utility in question nominally relates to the GUS, but is of wider interest
than that.  I have spent so much time looking for GUS-related stuff that I
have no idea what a good general-purpose site is...

I was gonna upload it to wuarchive but they've been having lots of problems...

I don't want to upload it to EPAS in light of the recent housecleaning,
because it only nominally relates to the GUS...

BTW, I got a different sort of ultrasound today, and have verified that I
am in fact going to be a Daddy.... 

Now, if someone can figure out a way to turn the UltraSound into an
ultrasound machine we'll be saving hundreds of dollars on medical bills...

Subject: Fixing up Megaem patches to get decent SFX

Hi,

	Not so long ago, someone mentioned on here that it was possible to
extract the sounds from a games SoundBlaster driver and convert them into
patches for use under Mega-em (or something similar). I wonder if anyone 
could give me some details of the process, how do you find the sounds 
inside the SB file (I realise that this may change from game to game, but
the general idea would be good), how do you turn them into patches, and how
do you work out which number patches to replace (is it anything to do with
the SYSEX: messages Mega-em prints up, and if so, can you log them?).

	Any help much appreciated.

This is the Panason CDR 562B drive.  As far as I know, there is no
daugherboard for the GUS.  I use a Matsushita-Kotobuki dedicated interface
card.  I can tell you the the audio cable is too small to fit on the GUS's cd
audio connector.  
Also, the MKE interface doesn't use an IRQ, just a port ($300)

Subject: GUS DRAM problems

I just got my GUS a week ago, and am quite happy with it.  I just today
received my eagerly awaited shipment of DRAMS, and as soon as I could,
plugged them in, with the usual precautions (grounding etc).  Unfortunately,
as soon as I could boot and run GUSDRAM, it showed the banks as there ("good
good), all of them (even the first!) failed rapidly.

After a reboot, the first started working, but the latter three banks always
fail.  SETGUS DRAM diagnostics start (!?) at 351K and finish with a message
that "DRAM FAILED (351K)" or some such.  I've tried shuffling DMAs and IRQs,
to no avail.  The DRAMs I used are Sanyo 256x4 70ns, model number
LC324256BP-70.

What I'd like to know is whether there's something I'm doing wrong, or if I
have to go and wrestle with the memory company and get some replacements.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, in case make means anything, my GUS S/N is K52217.

pitch-bender/modulation key, reverb and chorus level key plus some
other neat features. Will these features be supported by the GUS

Subject: New 32 bit drivers

I am shocked that no one has posted a message about the
Shadowcaster patch which contains the new Miles 32 bit
drivers. I do not own shadowcaster but I downloaded the
file Patshad2.zip from the Gravis BBS. The file contains
the digital driver, the music driver, a patch loader, and
a file that installs them onto Shadowcaster. There is one more
program, that modifies a few of the Shadowcaster *.exe files
but I am not dure what it does. The drivers seem to accomplish
their task without Ultramid or a TSR, but patches must be loaded
manually with a patch loader program (it loads 80 in 8 bit mode
or 52 in 16 bit mode). Does anyone know if the new
drivers will support patch caching, or must the patches always be
loaded prior to playing a game. If someone owns Shadowcaster, try
the drivers out and see how they perform.

does work with Recording Session, however). Any ideas ?
Another thing - I tried the text-to-speech program gustalkr.zip and it 
doesn't work, anyone managed to get speech out of it ? (I have loaded 
sbos and gustalkr as instructed and it get's stuck when I ask it to say 
something).
One last thing - for the fellow who asked about midi files - there are 
some great ones on garbo.uwasa.fi (at /mirror/ultrasound/midi/files).

My setup: 386DX-40, GUS with 1MB, new Windows drivers installed and working.

Thanks.

Was wondering if anyone has been able to get SBOS or Mega-Em to work with
Red Storm Rising (by Microprose)... (and if not, what does work?)...

I've tried SBOS -O2 (pretty sure it's O2)... anyway... that gets it past the
opening screen, but when you try and go into actual game play, it wakes up
and says, "Hey!  You don't have an Adlib card!"...  (BTW: Options are only
for adlib, not adlib or soundblaster)...

Also, I already looked at the g-list... (it ain't there)... :(

Thx in advance...

	Thanks again to everyone who replied - quite many did..
	And the result - unanimously - was that there are no
	problems with OPTi 495SX or 495SLC chipsets with or 
	without a GUS.

Has anybody succeeded in getting sound from TFX? Yet another protected
mode game, so no Mega-em, and sbos gives no sound at all. I once got
a digitized voice at the beginning of flight, then silence.
And tfx does not seem to use 32 bit AIL drivers, so no hope from these.

I juts started reading the FAQ and have no idea what UTL and S3M files are.  
Also, where is a good FTP site to get demos?  Like ASM-(#93.
