 was at the Syndey PC 94 exhibition for the release of the AWE32
 from CL.

 A couple of points.

 A 1 meg ROM chip is standard, if you want more, you must connect
 the Waveblaster.
 Card is $599 Austrlian.
 Ships with 512k.
 Holds 28 megs RAM.
 I think it is way overpriced... $599 then you need to add
 the Waveblaster another $350.

(There should be a separate digest for game questions)

	Anyway, here's my question.  Anyone have any idea why I'm getting no
digital sounds in the game?  My ULTRASND is set at 220,1,1,11,7.  Music
works fine, but when I go over to my friend's house who has a SB16 ASP,
BLAM!  Digital sounds aplently.  What am I doing wrong?

	Also, to avoid some flames, if this was in a previous digest, I HAVE
NOT RECEIVED IT.  The last daily digest I got was Volume 11 number
20-something or something like that.  I don't know if its my site or what,
but I used to get digests everyday, now I'm lucky if I get three or four
every WEEK.  I also just found out today of the new server address, too.

Hi there! To all of you who were wondering about the GUS and Sierra....

Jayeson finished the drivers about 3 weeks ago. We sent em up to Sierra, who
are currently testing them, cuz they want to include them in PQ4 CD and LSL6 CD
versions.  Once Sierra is finished with them (about 2 weeks), they will release
the drivers to the public. Gravis cannot release them since they theoretically
are the property of Sierra.

Also, we have no plans to release a SB Compatibility daughterboard. We still
feel that the GUS card works with "most" games designed for the SB. Note that
Gravis has never claimed 100% compatibility.  However, we do believe in our
products, and that is why we have been aggressively pursuing third party
development.  This effort is beginning to pay off.  Already this month we have
seen the release of Hired Guns, Microcosm, Archon Ultra, Pinball Fantasies, and
are looking forward to Sea Wolf, Star Reach, The Horde, Great Naval Battles 2,
Arena and Out of this World 2 just to name a few. Of course compared to the
"millions" of games that support the SB, this may not seem like many, but it is
the result of excellent dialogue between our development team and the game
developers.  

You can also check out UltraSound MAX advertisments in April and May in Wired,
Computer Gaming World, and Multimedia World. Let me know what you think of the
new ad campaign.

Cheers!

Ahn, just checking: has the file GUS0040.ZIP been deleted? I can't
find it anywhere... yeh, maybe I waited too long but now am I supposed
to download a GIANT file again to upgrade my GUS software??
 
If it has REALLY been deleted, could any kind soul re-upload it
somewhere or maybe send me directly?
 
Thanks,
  Snoopy.

It's not strange at all.  The Europe release of Hired Guns does not have GUS
support, only the US release has.  In fact, I believe the US release of Hired
Guns is quite different from the Europe release.
