Thanks, Tom.  You made my day!  

CLUE #1:  Pointing out other's spelling mistakes is considered bad form.

CLUE #2:  Pointing out other's spelling mistakes *incorrectly* makes you
	  look like a total idiot.  It is amusing to the *educated* readers,
	  however...

Subject: EarthSiege and GUS MAX..

Well I've been reading what you guys are saying about chaning the sound 
FX driver from E023 to E024 (for regular GUS) and from E027 to E028 (for 
GUS MAX).. I then changed my Music Driver to A002 but when the soundset 
program plays I only get the drum beats, no melody.  Also, the game will 
now start without problem and I get the sound FX but again the music is 
only the drum beats and no melody.. what could the problem be??

Subject: Gravis Upgrade

Has anyone out there specifically upgraded to the GUS MAX from a normal GUS
via the upgrade offer? I just sent in my order for my MAX and was wondering
how long people had to wait before Gravis sent out their MAX.  The form says
something like 6-8 weeks which would really suck, is this how long it
actually took or did they get it out faster?

Subject: New "gus-games" mailing-list

I don't know if it's the case for many people on this list, but I don't care too 
much about games, and I don't read messages about them on the digest. As there 
are many such messages every day, it makes much garbage for me on my mail.
So if other people feel like me, I suggest the administrator of the digest 
created a new mailing-list, say "gus-games@..." for example, dedicated to 
games-specific issues, which would reduce the overload on "gus-general..."
What do you people on the list think of this ?

Subject: System Shock DEMO from PC-GAMES

I bought the December issue from PC-Games, becouse there was a demo
CD with i.e. SYSTEM-SHOCK on it. 

I've noticed that the demo can be configured to use several sound cards,
the GUS is one of them.

I own a standard GUS rev 2.4 with 1 Mbyte RAM, most games worked fine
with this card for one and a half year now. And I interested in SS so I
bought the DEMO-CD

But after choosing the GUS you can test the setup, there was a message
that say's 'NO MUSIC CARD DETECTED' and 'NO SOUND CARD DETECTED'

I've 'remmed out' the emm386 in the config.sys but no difference.
I also change the gus init in the autoexec.bat 
(set ultrasnd=220,1,1,11,7 and set blaster=a220 I7 D1 T1)

for use with only the lower DMA's (standard setup) from the gus install, and
run the demo again but still the same
message (shit shit), and the important thing NO SOUND/MUSIC.

(I've tried the SB setup in game also for use with SBOS and GM/SB for use
with MEGAEM but still no,nothing,zero,nadda!

Someone tried the demo? and does it worked? Please let me know.

Christopher: Could you please tell us the DATE and VERSION of those drivers?
There are quite a few versions floating around, so it would be nice to know
exactly what version solved your problems.

Thanks.  (A Dashboard users 8-) )

I would certainly like to take you up on this offer as soon as I get my 
new computer, Stan.  I live in Moraga and have been to your store a few 
times.  In fact, I probably have already met you. :)
