Well, sometime during the Thanksgiving holiday, one of the machines vital to running the digest went down, and consequently all of the queued messages for that day got lost in the ether. I'm fixing things so that kind of thing won't happen again (consolidating all processes and files to one machine, checking for this kind of error before processing the digest, etc., etc.), but that doesn't get back those old messages... sorry! Please repost what you sent if you don't see it in any recent digests. Thanks. -- Dave ddebry@ debry@ \ "She had the kind of body that would make a DeBry dsd. peruvian. | bishop kick in a stained glass window." es. cs.utah. | com edu / - Tommy Sledge ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Nov 1992 23:22:12 -0800 (PST) From: "Jojie R. T." Message-Id: Subject: DMA Channel To: Ultrasound Daily Digest Has anybody successfully used a 16-bit DMA (i.e., channel 4-7) in their configuration? Also, is there a utility available that will show me what port addresses I have available.

To: Ultrasound Daily Digest In a previous posting, someone suggested that the reason some MIDI songs won't sound right in WinJammer or Cakewalk is that these programs do not load the patches in while Microsoft's Media Player does, so that if you try loading the song in Media Player, quit it, then load the same song in Cakewalk or Winjammer then it'll sound right. I don't find this to be always true. I have included a uuencoded file, cheers.mid, below. It does not sound complete at all in Media Player (no Cheers lead melody is heard) but it 'sounds' ok with Playmidi at the DOS prompt. However, with the latter, I get the message: warning: couldn't find program 85 to put on channel 1 But regardless of the message I still can recognize the Cheers theme -- it sounds complete. Why is Media Player not loading all the patches right with this .MID file? Can those gurus out there please comment? Chris Yuzik please say something about this.... -Tim --------------------------uuencode of cheers.mid--------------------------- begin 600 cheers.mid uuencoded stuff removed end ------------------------------ End of Ultrasound Daily Digest V1 #32 ******************************
