Hi,

That Sonic Sound card does sound very good (*even* with rom-samples).
I have heard it and sb comp. very good. It has also digpak/midpak-driver 
already.
Alright i know that there isn't any software yet for the card, but who 
cares ..... The first buyers of a gus (with 1.20 disk) like me, didn't 
have much software either (more than sonic although).
I just want to say that.

Bye,

Message-ID: <199308280806.AA14780@halcyon.com>

	Just wondering if anyone's been able to configure a GUS and
the ProAudio Spectrum 16 to work together.. since the PAS has both a mono SB
and the 16-bit PAS part, you need an extra interrupt. On most systems,
this leaves you just enough interrupts to work out -- given you double-up
over printer IRQs.
	So, on my system that would be IRQ 5,7, and 10.  The GUS can e configured to IRQ 10 no prob, so I figure 5/7 for the PAS-16 would be a-ok. But what about any MIDI stuff? ... I'm only thinking of getting a PAS16 because a friend
wants to sell it cheap and I wanted to have "full compatibility".. or in other 
words get the best of all three cards on the market :)

I have a 486/66 DX2 motherboard featuring the HiNT chipset and for the most
part my Ultrasound seems to be functioning properly. However, when I attempt
to use SBOS with the -x3 parameter I'm given at most one DOS prompt before
my entire system locks up. Other SBOS parameters do NOT have this effect. Is
there a bug in the latest version of SBOS or is the problem I've described
some sort of hardware incompatibility between the Ultrasound and my
motherboard?

If you don't like to wait for the scrolling screen when you run
ULTRA.EXE (the 32-channel tracker v1.30) you can edit some bytes
in the file with a binary file editor. At offset 117B4 (hex), change
two bytes to 90 and 90 (also hex), and the same two bytes again at
offset 11831.

Note! This is not an excuse for not register your copy of the
program if you like it and want to continue using it!

I cant speak for your computer setup but on mine I found that if I use interrupt 7 instead of 5 that there isnt a significant progblem of G

Sorry it took so long for me to respond, but here it is:

Dave Debry asked what was wrong with WinMod Pro, and why he wasn't getting
stereo output.  The answer is simple, the GUS drivers for Windows will only
do stereo at 22050Hz and 44100Hz, nothing more, nothing less.  Set the
mixing rate for WinMod Pro to one of these two rates, and it'll work just
fine....a bit slow, but this is windows for cryin out loud.  :-)
