Standard Info: - Meta-info about the GUS can be found at the end of the Digest. - Before you ask a question, please READ THE FAQ. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 7 Feb 1995 10:23:40 -0800 (PST) From: David Burton <davidb@python.mcm.hp.com> Subject: AMD Interwave. What it is. The AMD interwave is a new LSI chip that plugs onto an ISA bus and provides the function of most industry sound cards. It was made by AMD under liscence from Gravis and is Ultrasound compatible. It cannot be used on a GUS or GUS MAX but is intended for new designs or to be incorporated onto a motherboard. It supports up to 16MB each of DRAM and ROM wavetable memory. I would look for new soundcards using this chip to be available from Gravis and others in the near future. For more info please contact your local AMD rep and ask for data sheets on: Am78C201/202.

Not sure what it exactly does but the text file warns that the fix is strictly for EarthSiege and also warns not to run the SOUNDSET setup program again or you'll have to rerun the patch again. Good Luck, -George <EOT> ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 Feb 1995 14:01 -0500 From: DANTONIO@PROCESS.COM (Momentary Language, Sexual Situations) Subject: Gabriel Knight While this is a old(er) Sierra game, a patch was released that let it use the GUS. When I applied this patch, it did indeed use the GUS, but the digital speech started to repeat. Is there any solution to this problem? Have others gotten this working without funny echos? Note, this is the DOS version... DDA ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 Feb 1995 21:41:56 -0700 (MST) From: Michael Finkel <mfinkel@bigdog.engr.arizona.edu> Subject: GUS and Descent... Anyone get GUS and Descent shareware to work? I have gotten music working (no problems there) and it sounds beautiful, but the sounds are a pitiful bunch of clicks. I have tried many IRQ's and DMA's (just setting the ULTRASND variable) and letting descent autodetect it in the setup program, but nothing seemed to give a change. Any help would be appreciated - either to the digest or via email. Let me know if you need any specific configuration information. Thanks, Mike mfinkel@bigdog.engr.arizona.edu ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 Feb 1995 16:15:56 -0500 (EST) From: William Birkmaier <pa_wbb@meceng.coe.neu.edu> Subject: GUS Archives on CD-ROM for sale. If there were enough inqueries and no legal implications with gravis, I could sell cd-roms for about 25 dollars US plus shipping, this will cover the blank disk, time, etc. I will only do it if there is enough interest, so to get an idea on how many people will actually buy it I would like to conduct a little survey. So any people that are interested pleas mail me at pa_wbb@splinter.coe.neu.edu with the header GUS CD-ROM, and any thoughts you might have. happy GUSsing Will ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 Feb 1995 23:48:59 -0600 (CST) From: Reginald Atkins <ratkins@comp.uark.edu> Subject: Re: GUS Daily Digest V19 #7 In regard to Metaltech(sp?)

I think there is not any demo wich work with it but who knows? Happy Gussing for anybody Gergo PS: sorry for the spelling errors. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 07 Feb 1995 18:14:05 -0700 From: Stan Page <Stan_Page@Novell.COM> Subject: MegaEm and Novell DOS7 Greetings GUSsers! Has anyone been successful in getting MegaEm to load using Novell's DOS 7 version of EMM386.EXE? I get a failed to load message stating that the internal structure of EMM386.EXE is not recognizable. SBOS works, and the other utilities not needing MegaEm seem to work correctly. Thanks for you input...

Hicks) Subject: What CD-Rom drives work with GUS 3.7? I have a GUS (not GUS MAX) revision 3.7. I am planning now on purchasing a CD-ROM drive. Which CD-ROM drives are compatible with the GUS - i.e., can be plugged in directly to the card? Do I have to by some extra hardware to get a drive to work with the GUS? Thanks.
