NASA scientists have confirmed that receipt of the latest GUS disks has 
been acknowledged by the alien civilization in Betelgeuse.  They are 
expected to reach Andromeda and inhabitants of the Horsehead Nebula by next 
week.
 
(Well I thought I might as well join in the current chorus of "GUS disks 
have reached <IYF geographic location>" :-).

On behalf of the author, Jeffrey Belt, I have uploaded to
WSMR-SIMTEL20.Army.Mil and OAK.Oakland.Edu:

pd1:<msdos.sound>
CDBOX300.ZIP    VGA & mouse sound player & playback shell

CD-Box v3.00 is a VGA & mouse player & playback shell to play music on
an AdLib or SoundBlaster card (or better).  It provides a common high-
level interface to seven different sound file formats with extras: Pause
& Repeat & Volume control, multiple and random song selection, automatic
handling of bank files, song titles and lengths, playback from archives,
and nice graphics and animation!

CD-Box v3.00 is a major update to CD-Box.  The most important improvements
are the superb graphic enhancements (using ray-tracing software) and
full internal support (no need for an external player) for .ROL (good
news for AdLib users) and .WAV, in addition to .CMF, .MOD and .VOC.
Other changes include the capability to scan multiple drive/directories,
repeat & echo buttons, support for any player (even if it changes the
video mode) and for .PAK archives, much faster and efficient code, and
classier "look and feel".

I still have no e-mail address (thanks again to the Editor of The Sound
Newsletter for uploading)... so keep up the snail mail!

Ok, so yas don't have yer disks yet.  Here's a theory...

Its all the disgruntled postal workers.  They know that there are certain
small groups just dying for certain boxes to come through the mail, so they
put a hold on them.  Or maybe someone just burned the lot outside of Gravis HQ.
(just kidding Gravis- I like you guys a lot! Now can I have my disks)

Message-ID: <9306091452.AA21975@daedalus.austin.ibm.com>

Well, I was surprised to find the new GUS disks in the mail
yesterday.

I got them installed and things worked - pretty much.

As always, MIDI has some problems (at least since the GM patch
set came out). Windows still dies when I play MIDs that use
any of the flute patches (returning EMM386 exception error
#06), and there are occasionally wrong note "blurbs" thrown
in and abbreviated notes.

The real problem now is with PLAYMIDI. Why would it return an
error "error on patch load info" for marcato (tremstr)? *None*
of the songs I have that use this patch work, but it works
just fine with Winjammer. So why won't PLAYMIDI load these
MIDs?

Anyone have any suggestions for the above problems? I'm more
concerned with getting PLAYMIDI to work - that way I can at
least play things back without killing my machine and rebooting
(like Windwoes does).


Thanks,
Ken

For anyone interested in creating EPS patches for the GUS, there's a slew of
sound files available at ftp.reed.edu.  I couldn't figure out how to do it
myself since a lot of the files are in a ghk format (EPS disk images?). 
But there are also AIFF files which should be convertable to snd or wav
and then pat.

Message-ID: <9306091342.AA11769@ele.etsmtl.ca>

Hi,
	I have a suggestion for the Daily Ultrasound Journal.
Why don't we have a section of the journal for technical tricks & tips.

	I am new to IBM environment, since I used Amiga for more than
5 years, I am sometimes lost in all the IBM jumpers, config.sys, memory
management etc. It would be nice if we could have a section that would
be available for tricks & tips. User and Gravis tech. could write in
a section dedicated to technical information.

	The journal could greatly help those how are also new to music,
Midi, and most of all those topics applicated for the Ultra sound.

	The first question that I would ask is; I don't know if I didn't
understanded a message in june 9 Daily, but is sound produced with
gus influenced by the patch loaded in ultras sound ram? So, if the
gus is influenced with patch, is more ram a must to have better sound
in games that use GUS? Finally, how do we process to know what patches,
to load to have good GUS performance??

		Thank
			  you,    Styve

Message-ID: <1993Jun9.195630.29233@mnemosyne.cs.du.edu>

ReprintFrom: comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard

At work, we have PCs as well as Macs.  The Mac microphone is very good,
and I thought 'hey, this would work with my GUS!'  So I ran out and got
one used from someone who didn't want it any more.

Well, it doesn't work.  Hmm, that's unfair, let's say that it doesn't work
WELL.  If I shout at the top of my lungs when it's plugged into the MIC IN
on my GUS, I get the faintest possible (almost inaudible) output from the
file.

I ripped it apart and found a fiarly simple layout, but my experimentation
has alas failed me.

Here's a simple diagram if any of you are microphone knowledgable:

Ground ------+-------+-------+
			C1       |       |
Left   ------+      Z1      M1
			R1       |       |
Right  ------+---C2--+-------+

C1 -- 16v22uF electrolyte
C2 -- 50v2.2uf electrolyte
R1 -- 21Kohm resistor
Z1 -- Zener diode?  I can't read the markings
M1 -- Mic.  Marked as '34L 1K', I presume the 1K is a restance

Well, anyway, thanks for your help in advance.

Jim

The disks haven't arrived in Los Angeles yet (mine!).

I got the 6 disks from epas, though, and can't get it installed.  It
won't recognize disk #2 - it asks me over and over again for it.  Disk
2 contains ultrasnd.002 and disk.id, a plain text file that claims
that this is disk #2.  What's wrong?

	Also, can anyone upload GRAVAPP.ZIP (can't remember the exact

Hmm, well obviously, the game changes which instruments it uses throughout
the game, giving different results with the two, but load1024 is supposed
to cover them all, I dont think loadgm has any extra (or rather different)
instruments loaded, are you sure youve selected 'Ultra1024' as the midi
mapper setup, instead of the usual patch caching 'Ultrasound' setup? 
In this way you should get satisfactory sound throughout, because I know
for a fact the bird noise patch is loaded by 'load1024' because I hear
it in Freddy Pharkas!

Yeah thats a good question, Is there someway the Ultrasound driver could be
written (or a differnt windows util perhaps) that traps and saves all the
info being sent to the midi port, that way, we could see which patches its
selecting, and load them ourselves in interludes! If it was possible, though,
id hate to think how long writing such a thing might take..

If they are that close to release (supposedly), maybe its about time we
started getting a list up of all the games out there that uses Miles
Drivers, so when they come out we know which one to try them on..
I dont know any! But ill have a look through the games ive got, anyone
else got any ideas?

Hey John Smith and all of my fellow GUSers,

	I got my SBOS 2.06 upgrade disks today and was very pleased to see
that it was professional and that Gravis has lived up to its word.  I am
very excited about installing them soon although that may have to wait for
a bigger hard drive 85megs does not go as far as it used to these days. 
Oh well.  

	Thank you Gravis and especially John for taking all the heat I had
to dish out with out too much cursing.

	I hope that everyone else gets there disks soon and that they work
well for everybody.


Happy GUSing everyone

Sincerely

Gunnar Swanson

Message-ID: <"9362 Wed Jun  9 09:30:47 1993"@bnr.ca> 

Greetings,

I got my upgrade yesterday (GUS 2.06), and I noticed that I don't have to
disable the sbos when going into windows (I still had problems with this
in sbos 2.04) and you don't have to rerun sbos after windows.  I have
several games that use different sbos options.  So when I finish playing one
of those games, I must unload sbos and reload it with the correct options
before I play the next game.  Besides using the u bat files, is there a way
that sbos can automatically load the correct options?  I used the sboscfg and
I made the appropriate changes to it but it didn't seem to be as automated as
I had hoped for.

Hey everyone, you all probably didn't know this but we actually ran out 
of disk space in one of our GUS archive today (epas). My god this thing 
is getting big! I validated a bunch of files and cleaned some things up
so we have some more space now. But I'll have to ask Adam if he can dig
up more space cause we'll really run out of room fast at this rate.

How big is it you ask? Well, I checked and we have now reached the 140 Mb
plateau! Wow. The card has only been out for .... has it been half a
year yet? And we have already surpassed the size of a number of the
other archives. In fact, as far as soundcard archives go, I'm not sure
if the others are even close. And at the rate we're going....

Way to go everyone! Thanks for all the support! And now that SDK
(software development kit) is available for public download, one can
only imagine the things to come. The amount of players and the quality of
sound files we have in our archive is already showing why the Ultrasound
is one awesome soundcard: technologically, support wise, popularity
wise.... and with interest increasing exponentially, programmers and
musicians contributing to our archive worldwide, one can only imagine
how much better the Ultrasound can get.

Boy, GUSmania has really exploded. We have support and discussions
EVERYWHERE. Multiple ftp archives, multiple mailing lists, Gravis BBS
with multiple lines, local BBSs around the world acting as Fidonet node
for Gravis, programs being written even before the sdk came out, public
programming info even before Gravis revealed anything, now a free
software development kit ready for download straight from Gravis,
and while others are still trying to catch up to our wavetable synthesis
technology, we are already talking about 3D and even have 2 demos out to
show it off. Is this an exciting card or what? 

Thanks to everyone for their continual support and welcome to all
newcomers. Things have only just begun and we are in for one hell of a
ride. ;) Let's make this the best soundcard it can be. If you have any
questions whatsoever, just ask. Anything from a list of local BBS phone
numbers for Gravis' Fidonet nodes, to which mailing list you should 
subscribe to for programming info. There are tons of people out there
willing to help. The main GUS digest have already skyrocketed to god
knows how many members. And things will only get better for the GUS!

Happy GUS'ing!

I'll see if Brad is updating the list. (he is the one who talks to
developers).  I know of a few that are currently being released/working
on but I'm not suppose to talk about their titles.  The biggest thing
you are all going to see soon is the MID/DIGPAK stuff.  Over the last
few days I've been playing 7th Guest, Great Naval Battles, Battle Chess
4000, Tony La Rusu II, and a few others with these drivers (without
SBOS). Over the last few weeks we have been hashing them out with John
Miles and Ratcliffe.  They are getting closer but I can't release them
until all the technical issues are corrected and we get John M/John R
blessing.

The old SDK needed some work <grin>.  The new SDK is a big improvement

It's part of Gravis' marketing philosophy.  You pay for the minimum
functionality, a bare-bones GUS.  You can then customize the card to
fit your specific needs by adding daughterboards and extra DRAM.

Notes:
======

arj & lha - we have utils but there are plenty of other msdos ftp sites for
			archiving utils. So I don't think our Gravis archive should be
			archiving these. Especially since we're running out of room.
			More on this later.

atthezoo.zip - the file was corrupted and can't be unzipped. Please re-upload

foxtris.zip - a Foxpro application? For a GUS archive?

joysdk11.zip - I know you got this from the Gravis BBS, but a Joystick SDK
			for our Ultrasound archive? If there is great demand for this
			and I can figure out what a joystick sdk has to do with a GUS
			other than a GUS has a game port.... then maybe.


Well, that's it for now. I'd just like to say in closing that the MODs
and the MIDI files are really getting very good. Much better than what we
were getting from the beginning of time. And now with the GUS SDK out,
one can only imagine what potential will be tapped by all those out
there contributing to our archive. I can't wait! Happy GUS'ing!


Thomas.

OK everyone. I have now uploaded all the newly validated files onto
wuarchive.wustl.edu. So now both of our ftp archives are uptodate.

Happy GUSing!

P.S.
I did fix the typo.... gus0031.zip is really SBOS 2.08 and not a part of
the install disk set 2.06L.

Hi, just wanted to say that I've just received the update disks from Gravis 
and I'm even in England so I'm quite surprised. Haven't had time to try them 
yet but I'll give it a go on the weekend.

Does anyone know how well X-Wing works with the new disks?

Cheers,
Trevor.

Does anyone remember which issue contained the "Zen of GUS"?  I think it
was done by Dan Nicholsen.  We were having a good laugh about it during
lunch today and I'd like to print it out for everyone.
