Anyone?  Anyone?
 
Well, I have it successfully installed on a 486-33.  It kicks 
booty.  Works beautifully, in other words.
 
EVERYONE MUST BUY STARCONTROL 2, TO GET A TASTE OF WHAT THE 
GUS CAN DO!

Hi,

	Can anyone tell me where (on which FTP site) I can find some MIDI
files?  I've been looking on many FTP sites but I can't find them. 
They're hard to track down.....

	It's Saturday morning, he's been up late all week installing his
ultrasound card, only to get up early the next morning to go to class.
He's tired, he's beat, his eyes feel like sandpaper, and finally he can
sleep in.  But wait, what's that sound?  GUSman's alarm is ringing.  His
arm reaches out...  Is he trying to shut off his alarm?  Is he trying to
rip out the power cord?  No!  He's reaching for a crowbar to pry open
his eyes!  A smile crosses his face.  He throws back the covers and
leaps forth, eager to start a day of experimenting with his
ultrasound... only to trip over the box which he misplaced in his stupor
the night before and land in a heap of Ultrasound Daily Digest
printouts.  Stumbling to his feet he flicks the computers power switch
only to realize he hit the light switch instead and has just blinded
himself.  undaunted, and after some fumbling, he manages to find the
correct switch.  He lowers himself into his chair and relaxes as the
ultrasound begins to play his opening wav... only to be blown out of his
chair when Robin Williams screams "Gooooood Morning Vietnam!!!".  It
seems during his fumbling he accidently pushed the stereo volume to ten.
	Climbing once again into his chair, he settles in for a long day
of experimentation, when suddenly: "SNAP!" "CRACKLE!" "POP".  He panics!
Did he blow a chip?  Did he fry his speakers?  No... it was only his
brother walking by with his bowl of rice crispies.  Sigh!  maybe he
should just go back to bed.

To: Ultrasound Daily Digest <ultrasound@dsd.es.com>

First, just playing around with Starcon2.  If you install SBOS, the
sound still sounds exactly the same.  Don't know if it's still
autodetecting the Gravis, or if it's just playing a MOD (which would
be dissapointing)...  Anyone with a real SB/SBPro to confirm this?

Next, in response to Lance Hartmann, the Gravis works fine in my
486/50, SIS chipset, AMI Bios, 16MB. Coexisting with a Roland
MPU-401.

Finally, for those of you with CD-ROMs, is there an internal
audio-in connector for CD-ROM audio?  (Not the line in outside, but
one of those little pin connectors on the card itself for internal
CD-ROMs).  Just wondering... How else can one connect the audio out
on a CDROM?  (I suppose the headphone port on the outside?)

Hi, I was wondering, does anyone know the format for the .pat files?

Also, does anyone know of a GOOD music composition program to take advantage of the GUS besides Cakewalk?

Thanks...

We've had the UltraSound running with no problems in a 486-33, a 386-25, and 
I believe also a 386-40. Unfortunately it looks like it got zapped last 
night (this was an early beta of the board) so as of now, we're GUS-less. 
 
About Star Control II:
   The GUS support in SC II is loading all samples from a MOD type song 
   onto the UltraSound's onboard RAM. It is >>NOT<< just using the DAC! 

Anybody successfully using an SB Pro & a GUS in the same machine?
