too bad you trusted Canada Post, i've so far lost 7 letters that
supposed to arrive at my mail box, instead it goes to others.  Luckily
i've received all letters from Gravis.  So check with them if they
actually received your reg. card.

Subject: CD ROM Audio Cables

OK, it's come that time.  I recently bought a Toshiba 3401 CD-ROM and
want to attach it to my rev 2.4 GUS.  On going to the store to try to
find one that would work, I found out that they don't stock a
3401-to-GUS cable.  They do stock a 3401-to-SB, 3401-to-SB16,
3401-to-PAS, etc.  So, question is, will one of these work?  Is the
header layout on a SB or PAS similiar to a GUS.  And if not, a quick
question to Gravis: why not?  I mean, why bother coming up with a new
CD-ROM audio pinout.  Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favor of the
GUS's innovations when they make sense, but I'm not sure this is one
of those times that it pays to get tricky.

And if not, can someone give me the name and number of someone who
makes or stocks a 3401-to-GUS cable?  Thanks.

As far as the AMD/Gravis connection that's been rumored about...
you'll just have to wait and see.  As Sargent Shultz used to say, "I
know nothing! I know nothing!". Yea, right. :-)

I have a hard time believeing this.  My GUS chirps when starting X Window
system under Linux, and also with Solaris x86 on my workstation at work -
Solaris doesn't *have* a working GUS driver!

(Windows makes it chirp, too, but not DESQview/X).

I think the GUS is simply picking up radio signals generated by the video
card.

Adagio works.  It's on sunsite someplace, I forget exactly where.  MP02 is
supposed to only work with a real MPU-401.

Since you can set environment variables in config.sys with DOS >6, you might
try loading ultrinit.exe as a device driver.  It could work, worth a try
anyway.

Since the way I read mail has changed, I was replying to the digest, not the

To the person who asked about linux midi players, use adagio.
Do an archie search for "adagio04u".  That's the latest I've seen, 
although I once saw a 0 byte uploaded version of adagio05, d'oh!.

Anyway, you can also look via ftp on sunsite.unc.edu in:
/pub/Linux/apps/sound/players for lots of stuff.

The modulation controller is the only other one that comes to mind
which is recognized by the current GUS Windows driver.

No bankswitching controllers are recognized by the driver.  Bank
Man switches drivers by talking to the driver directly instead of
using MIDI controllers.

Did the files play back with just a piano through PlayMIDI?  If so, then
you're extracted the note information but not the channel configuration
information (such as instruments, main channel volume, etc.).  Anyway,
complete MIDI files from X-Wing can already be found on Epas.  These
play fine in Windows as well as DOS.

As I've said earlier, you can't predict the number of voices a MIDI
file will require simply by scanning the event list.  The number of
voices used depends on the patches being used (specifically, their
decay times, which cannot be determined from the MIDI file).  Another
complication is that once you change the number of voices, the decay
times for patches change.

PlayMIDI defaults to 20 voices, but you can manually set the number of
voices by using the -x<nn> switch, where <nn> is a number from 14 to 32.

Im only new to linux myself but i tracked down a copy of adagio05 on one 
of the linux ftp sites. It has a midi player for linux and X. I found it 
to work well. As far as mod players go i also found tracker043 on the  
same site. Im using kernel 1.1.52..

Gravis (or at least Jayeson(SP) has one.

Look at the Ultima 8 patch.

It has a .INI file that lists a patch map for the .DLL's to use, and 
besides each name, is the comment:
"xxxx occurances"

I've just downloaded the 5e version of the "Manley" drivers for OS/2 and 
find the .doc file very lacking in installation instructions.  I have done 
exactly as they state for installing the drivers.  I get NO sound in OS/2 
and haven't a clue as how to install the WinOS/2 part of it.  I DO get great 
sound in my DOS sessions though.

I would be eternally greatful to anyone who can give me detailed 
installation instructions for these drivers.

I wrote Robert Manley an email asking for help and informing him that I 
would gladly pay the shareware fee if he could tell me how to get them 
working.  To date, I haven't heard anything from him.

Same here.  I've mailed in my registration probably about 7 or 8 months 
ago, and no response from gravis.

Thankyou for the information, and I have entered you into our

registration cards to Logitech, but this was when we had an

Subject: SB on CD-ROM connector

Hi everyone,

A friend of mine (hi Marc) has a Soundblaster and a Ultrasound v3.7 in the 
same machine, he also has a CD-ROM. The CD-ROM audio out is connected to 
the CD-In 1 on his GUS. He made a plug on his Soundblaster ouput that fits
on the CD-In 2 on his GUS. But when he connects the plug, he does get the
Soundblaster sound through the Cd input, but no CD audio. When he disconnects
the plug, the CD audio is back again. So one of them works, but not both at the
same time. I know it's not very proper to connect to two line-level outputs 
to one
line-level input, but I've also done it with two tape recorders (no money for
a mixing unit...) and it worked perfect...
Anybody with a solution?

Thanks in advance,

I purchased Theme Park some time ago and quickly discovered no Gus 
support. All emulations failed aswell since it was a dos protected mode game.
As far as i can  tell its using the HMI drivers. 

I read in the digest that the HMI drivers were finished and available. Is 
there going to be an update for theme park or will it just be a matter of 
copying the HMI  drivers over like the  AIL drivers??..

Also where can one get hold of the new HMI drivers with GUS  support

Subject: UltraSound Experience CD

I ran across a copy of PC-Zone, and got the UltraSound experience CD-ROM. 
All I can say is, "Wow!". I want my UltraSound back!!!! Waaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Apart from having to pay 20 bucks for the magazine (so much for the "Only 
3 pounds 95" on the cover...more like 10 pounds by the time it gets 
here), I was suitably impressed.


I gave my original GUS to my brother a few months ago, due to lack of
support in software, and the fact that it hated my PAS16/CD-ROm
combination. My old GUS was one of the ones that came with the 1.21 
disks, so that means I have had the card for 2 years at least.

Anyways, what I now want to do is dump the PAS16 and the NEC CD-ROM, and 
get an UltraSound Max and CD-ROM. Here is my question:

Of the CD-ROMs supported by the Max out of the Box, which is the best 
choice, given that I use DOS, OS/2 and Linux (on my 486DX-50). ie: What 
CD-ROM should I buy? (Double-speed...can;t afford more than that right 
now). I am mainly concerned about drivers to give me CD-ROM access from 
whatever OS I happen to be using at the time. CD-ROM support in Linux is 
not vital, but would be preferable.

Any help is greatly appeciated. I am going to price the GUS Max tomorrow, 
along with various CD-ROM drives. Hopefully I can get a wad of cash from 
selling my rather expensive SCSI-2 NEC-74-1 CD-ROM, at least $500-600 I 
hope, considering I paid $1000 for it not much more than 6 months ago.

Well, here's hoping I can be a happy GUS user again very soon :-)

I agree with Remco Lam's posting yesterday about ULTRINIT.SYS.  I use it
in my config.sys file as well instead of ULTRINIT.EXE in my autoexec.bat file
so that the GUS is initialized as soon as possible after a lockup.  All too
often I must reboot with the GUS stuck on some note.  I think that Gravis
should provide both versions, or if possible, release one version that works
in both config.sys and autoexec.bat. :-)

Strange, while you guys are getting problems with the digitized voices, 
I'm getting problems with the music.  I can an error when I setup the 
Gravis UltraSound for music.   Even wierder, when I select Gravis 
ultraSound at the setup, there is a long pause and I noticed the setup is 
accessing the hard disk for some strange reason.  After that, the setup 
complains that I cannot use the GUS for music (?!?!)

Subject: You want ULTRINIT.SYS back?  try this.

OK, if you can't find the old version somewhere (we're not talking Windows
here, nobody cares what version it is as long as it works), try using the
DOS 6.0 and up command "LOAD" (load?  I'm almost sure I'm wrong!).  The
reference for it is in help config.sys.  Basically it runs TSRs before COMMAND
is loaded (they don't have a copy of the environment but they can't load high)
and I think ultrinit works with it.  Best thing is to try!

To those concerned about Ultrinit.sys, YOU DON'T NEED IT!!! If you want to 
reset your GUS, just run ultrinit.exe, from the DOS prompt.It really makes one
wonder how you people get yout computer up and running.
