Subject: Bank Switching questions

Dunno if this is the right GUS digest to post such a question but...

How limited is the GUS Windows driver's Bank Switching capabilities.  I 
have patches for certain banks and when I play midi's that use those 
banks, the patches I hear (specifically the Drum Patches) are the ones in 
Bank 00, not another Bank.  I already used Bank Manager and added the new 
patch configurations... still here Drum Bank 00 patches.  

BTw, does Ultramid use bank switching?  If so, how do I edit the 
ultramid.ini file (or was it ultramid.cfg?)

GUSers,

	Is the digest currently being archived on EPAS and the mirros 
like it used to be? If not, I may have room for a month of issues at a time.

Subject: DOOM 1.7, WC3 DEMO, and PCTools with GUS

	To Christopher Bolin or anyone else with DOOM 1.7, I have DOOM2
v.1.666 and would like to know if you 
	1) either know where to get 1.7 patch
	2) Could upload patch somewhere.

	Of course this all depends on whether you CAN send and distrubute
the file.  But as far as I understand, why shouldn't a DOOM2 owner be able to.

	Also to Derek Suzuki, the newest SBOS I know of is 3.82 and works
with armada, so you might try that with WC3.  Secondly is WC3 Demo CD, if
not or if so, where can I get a copy.

	In addition, I have also had some trouble with PCTools for Windows
and GUS Drivers.  The problem had something to do with not having the GUS
set as first WAVE and MIDI device.  Make sure that if you have drivers for
another card that you have the GUS Drivers as WAVE= and MIDI=, and the
next drivers are WAVE2= and MIDI2=.  I'm not sure that was the problem,
but it seemed to fix it for me.

Subject: Doom 2 doesn't work well

The Doom 2 has only MUSIC???
Wiht my GUS (1M) I only hear music, no sound effect.
The Doom setup is correct.

Subject: EarthSiege & GUS

I know that no one here has been able to get the GUS working with
EarthSiege in native mode, but how about using SBOS?  Currently, I am
playing with no sound at all, which really bites.  SBOS doesn't work
(game crashes), and I need some sound here!

the archive has moved to oak.oakland.edu.  There's some great samples there, 
especially basses (fabulous tb-303 sounds, some good juno, 6-trak, and moog 
stuff, etc.).  Make sure to get the convert and epsdisk utilites from the site 
to use these samples on your gus... or get the amazing 2PAT 1.4

Subject: GUS DMA Channels

I've always thought that DMAs 0-3 are the 8-bits and 4-7 are the 16-bit 
(never mind if all of them actually exist)... Is this right, and if so, 
why do so many people use DMA 3 for their GUS?

If you mean a normal consumer digital amplifier, it uses SP/DIF for digital
input (either coax or optical). I don't know much about the DAC on the GUS,
but if it's a separate chip, it should use some kind of a serial data format,
which means you have two pins, one for clock and one for digital data. So
if you find this out (check some apropriate data book), you'll need to
connect a SP/DIF transmitter in place of the DAC to be able to speek to your
digital amplifier. There are more SP/DIF transmitters, but the only one I know
positively about is from Crystal Semiconductors. Part number is CS8402 or
CS8412 (one from these is a transmitter, another one is a receiver). But you'll
have troubles buying those in one-two pieces, as far as I know. You'll have
to find someone that buys in hundreds and sells in pieces. Then you'd need
a toslink transmitter (for optical output) or some transformer circuit for
coax output. Toslink transmitters are made by Toshiba.
	That's all I know about this problem. Those CS84xx parts do recognise up
to six or eight different serial digital data formats, so if you find something
like that on GUS, you won.

Just installed it this past weekend and everything is working great.
Did you expect anything less?  :)

Subject: MetalTech:Earthsiege

I too am getting problems with the game.  Correct me if I am wrong, but I 
do believe EarthSiege uses SOS drivers and not HMI.  Or is HMI another 
name for SOS?  If it uses SOS, and not HMI, are there any games out there 
that successfully supports GUS using SOS?

Subject: Mosaic with Audio under linux

If you want to get Mosaic to work wth your GUS, there's nothing
device specific to be done....here's a script I used to use:
cat $1 > /tmp/sound_file
cat /tmp/sound_file > /dev/audio 

put that into /usr/local/bin and make it executable...then edit your
 mailcap file for Mosaic...if it doestn' already have a line like
this, or doesn't exist at all:
audio/*; /usr/local/bin/showaudio 

See how you go.  As you can see, to play samples on the gus, you just
dump it to /dev/audio.

Subject: Reunion and the GUS(max)

Well, I've had Reunion also for some time and I found out that it
wanted the GUS on the base adress 220, or at least NOT at 240. It
wouldn't work on 240 for me. So I changed it back and it worked
fine. (I must say, the intro was SLOOOOOOOOOOW with my SB-clone on
my former 386DX40Mhz) 

Hope this helps,

Subject: Ultrasound SCSI adapter & Linux

Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying the SCSI adapter for my
GUS, but I need to know if it works O.K. with Linux,
because that's the main reason I'm buying it. 
Also, it is second hand, and comes without manuals or 
drivers. Does it need drivers? Is it difficult to
set up?

I'm not interested in the daughterboard v Host
adapter speed debate because I'm getting it real
cheap, I'm not going to need a SCSI hard disk for
ages, but I would like to be able to connect my CD
rom to a host adapter at some point in the future.

Subject: WC3 Demo and the GUS

Dear GUSers

Here is the deal on the WC3DEMO.  One when you first start the demo it 
will put a small directory on your HD c:\wc3 if I am not mistaken.  The 
demo program will then ask for your sound card settings.  The demo only 
supports SOUNDBLASTER and Gmidi.  I did not try this with a GUS so I do 
not know if Gmidi will work.  In order to change the sound card settings 
to something new you will need to deltree the c:\wc3 dir and rerun the 
wc3demo program.  Then choose different sound card setings.  This must be 
done everytime you want to change the settings.  Also note this demo 
needs XMS not EMS so you will want to rem the EMM386.EXE line in your 
config.sys file.

Note, you may get scratchy sound in SBOS.  I tested this on an Aria at 
work and it uses SB emulation.

Lastly this demo is KILLER.  The game looks to be extremely cool.  Good 
Luck and happy GUSING.

Sincerely,


Gunnar Swanson
