I can't seem to get DARETRO to work... I have a 386dx-25 with 8 Mb of ram and a trident 8900c video card with 1 Mb and dos 5... Even with a bare boot disk, this program will just clear the screen and that's it, the computer hangs.... Yes, I DO have a GUS (1 Mb)... This same program works on another 486sx-25 (cirrus logic video card, 256k GUS, dos 5), so the program is intact... don't have any problem with any other renaissance stuff I've tried (including GUSMOD and P669GU0)... And when I had a SB, Unreal and others worked no problem.... so something's strange here... anybody have an idea? Re: the idea to have a demos newsgroup, I'm all for it... I don't have FTP capability, but (obviously) I do have access to usenet groups like this through a local bbs... So something like a demo discussion group and a (uuencoded I assume) demo binaries group would be terrific... Hear rumours a while back the future crew was going to bring out a new version of Unreal with GUS support? Can anyone confirm? ttyl gregg.macdonald@synapse.org (trader heretic) .s ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1993 08:59:08 -0800 (PST) From: jayward@mailhost.cs.pdx.edu (Jay Ward) Message-Id: <9301291659.AA26203@rigel.cs.pdx.edu> Subject: Chuck Yeager/Ultra Chuck Yeager Question To: Ultrasound Daily Digest Can someone please clear something up for me? I have heard a few rumors about an 'Ultra Chuck Yeager' that will have GUS support. Is this the the same thing that Gravis is currently offering for $14? I would like to believe that 'Ultra Chuck Yeager' will be a 'Chuck Yeager ][' of some sort, but my friends seem to think that it will be a regular 'Chuck' with GUS support (thus the word 'Ultra'). Any clues? ------------------------------ Date: 29 Jan 93 18:10:06 GMT From: mossap@solb1.essex.ac.uk (Moss A D) Message-Id: <7823@sersun1.essex.ac.uk> Subject: GUS & Midi files To: Ultrasound Daily Digest Hi all!

To: Ultrasound Daily Digest Hello everyone! Just a little note about Gravis prices: It's interesting for us but is their ram upgrade price a joke: to go from 256 to 512K, they charge 14$ CDN + shipping (and probably TAX). Some weeks ago, I upgraded from 256K to 1MB and it cost me only 30$ CDN +TAX, that make 10$ to go from 256K to 512K. At that price, who do you think will buy their memory from gravis? Have a good day!
