Thanks, Vince! What a pleasant surprise, to find the digest waiting in my mail. Just last week I was wondering if it would ever return. Although the announce arrived as Volume 0 #0, I hope we'll again pick up numbering the volume & issues as before. The last one I received was V14 #12 back in June. -- Randy Wright Usmail: Convex Computers Phone: (214) 497-4868 3000 Waterview Pky. Email: rwright@convex.com P.O.

It comes with a special version of Megaem and Emuset and it sounds incredible. My friend with a lowly SB comes over all the time because the game is so much more playable with my sound card than with his. I love hearing him complain, now if I can only make him buy a GUS. Vince, thanks for running the digest I've missed it. Take care all and keep on Gussin Bryan Thought for the day: Anatomy (n): something everyone has, but which looks better on a girl. -- Bruce Raeburn. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Oct 1994 12:24:13 -0700 (PDT) From: sabe@sdcc13.ucsd.edu (Shige Abe) Subject: Linux I'm fairly new to Linux, I've had it about 2 weeks, and after some trouble finally got the GUS to work about 5 days ago. So far all I have is GMOD. What other software should I consider installing. How do I play 16 bit, 44.1 WAVs in Linux? So far only 8 bit 22 kHz seems to work. Last question, how does GMOD compare to DOS module players? Glad GUS Daily Digest is back! ^_^ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Oct 1994 17:13:29 -0400 (EDT) From: Eric Fang Subject: Mega-Em When will the new Mega-Em which will solve the NMI problem be released? Also, when will the OS/2 driver be released? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 08 Oct 1994 19:57:45 -0500 (CDT) From: triplett@UTSW.SWMED.EDU (Terry L. Triplett) Subject: Strange chirping w/new GUS drivers in Windows-How to get rid of? Hello everybody. What a shock to find the digests coming in again-I had not realized how much I had been missing them. Yesssssssssssss!!!!!!! I thought I would submit a question just to get things rolling: I am using the latest windows drivers from gus0043.zip on EPAS, and have noticed that ever since I installed them, I hear this annoying 'chirp' when software accesses the card. Now that I am thinking about it, I don't recall hearing this when playing MIDI files, only when playing digital samples from either the hard drive or from CD-ROM (usually along with video clips, eg. Quicktime or Video for windows, but also using media player). The sound occurs at the beginning of the clip, and again at the end when the player is relinquishing control of the GUS. This was never heard with any drivers before this version. Anyone else experiencing this phenomenon? Can it be eliminated? Some info: I have an original GUS, purchased sometime in 1993, with 1meg RAM on board. It's running in a 80486, 33mHz noname clone with 8 megs of RAM, Windows for Workgroups, Norton Desktop for Windows 3.0, Stacker 4.0, with a cheap Philips single-speed CD-ROM Drive. Oh, and Qemm 7.04. Thanks, Terry triplett@utsw.swmed.edu ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Oct 1994 13:39:03 -0700 From: blarren@uclink.berkeley.edu (Bart Adam Larrenaga) Subject: The is back! Wow! Hooray! The Digest has returned! I'm SO happy! Now I have somewhere to ask questions again =] 1)Has anyone gotten XCOM:UFO Defense to work with the GUS? The Microprose rep who responded to my query said a patch would be available soon, but I haven't seen it. Is it out yet? 2)Just before the digest vanished, there had been talk of a new version of Mega-Em (great program by the way Jayeson) coming out soon that would work with protected mode games. Is this out? Almost done? Or just a wild rumor in the first place? --Bart Larrenaga blarren@uclink.berkeley.edu ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Oct 1994 21:48:54 -0500 From: "KrisJon A. Hanson" Subject: What to do with Doom v1.666???? I have heard many conflicting stories about how to make doom v1.666 work with the GUS. Some say it works fine, others don't (mine sounds like s***!!). What is the general consensus? Are there any sure-fire fixes (for the intermitent-soundfx problem)????

I need some help setting up Linux to use my Gus! I got the Slackware 1.2, and during the installation, it did ask a question about the Gus, but that was it. I need to know how to setup the rest. Or if I should get more drivers. AND WOULD ID FIX THE FUCKING SOUND PROBLEMS WITH DOOM ONCE AND FOR ALL!??!?? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 Oct 94 1:45:39 GMT+0200 From: Walter Prins Subject: Yes! The digest is back! Good to see the digest back up & running. I was beginning to wonder if the GUS was losing its oomph... Anyways, does anybody know if Gravis will *ever* release the damn OS/2 device drivers?
