Does anyone have issues from 12/11 thru 12/23 that they can point me to
or mail directly to me (ivan@molson.ho.att.com).  I had been running a discussion
on bank switching, but apparently got dropped off the list.  Thanks.

Subject: GUS+DB != GUSMAX?

Just a quick question/observation.

I have a 1024k GUS with the 16 bit CODEC attached via DB.  is this "new 
and improved" MAXBOS program going to ever be updated/modified to work 
with it?  I purchased the db because I don't need a CD interface, and 
hads been told (by many sources, including Gravis) that the only 
differences were the way in which the codec was interfaced (shouldnt 
cause a problem, IMO) and the lack of an IDE CD port.

Subject: NASCAR racing & Re:GUS Daily Digest #23 (Michel Mohrmann)

Hi everyone !

Iove sent this before to #21 but i didnot recieve that digest so I try 
again.

Just got the game NASCAR racing from Papyrys. This game is supposed to have
GUS support but i won't work. I get some sort of digital sound (shitty) 
but only music during the intro.
Has anyone has any success with this. It uses the hmi-drivers. Can these
be replaced by some other hmi-drivers that work ?

I didn't receive the Daily Digest issue 17, 18 and 21. 
Maybe someone has saved these. Could you please send them to me ? 
(Not to the digest !)

An idea is that you have an adress conflict. If you put your GUS on 240h it
uses 240-24Fh AND 340-34Fh. Maybe your CD-ROM drive also uses an adress
in this region. Or an IRQ conflict, try selecting other IRQ:s and 
DMA-channels. Try running Windoze in standard mode (win /s), then it is
compatible with shared IRQ:s. Maybe youove already tried this, but...


Merry X-Mas & Happy New Year!

Dude, I'm running on a 486DX with an ET4000/w32p local bus video card,
which is no slouch.  Maybe you've been staring at monitors too long, but
I for one don't like System Shock's heavily pixelized graphics and its
almost unreadable text font.  Not everyone can afford a speed-demon
powerhouse computer like you've got.  Different strokes for different...
uh... huh huh... he said stroke.

  Switching channels... the Lion King is a cool platform game.  The PC
version supports GUS natively, and the graphics and sound are better than
both the SNES and Genesis versions.  The stampede level is incredible.

Okay, I am a relatively new subscriber of this digest, and I have a few
questions I want to have cleared up.  It probably have been asked before but
whatever you do please don't flame me...

First of all, where can I obtain back issues? (I don't mean something like
stuff from Volume 1 but I would like to get my hands on #17 and #18 since for
some reason I did not receive a copy.)

Secondly, I have got this stupid MegaEm EMM incompatibility error.  I use my
Ultrasound Max with QEMM and have tried almost every combinations there are
including disabling Stealth and putting an exclusion on about all the memory I
have.  Anyways, even when I clean boot and try to load MegaEM with the NOEMS
option, it still won't load. Does anyone have any experience on this?  Could it
be me having too much memory on my system?  I know the ISA cards can only
address up to 16Mb and I have 16Mb of RAM.  Could it be because MegaEM couldn't
access that 512Kb?
