I was ticked when I couldn't put stereo wavs in it, and now I'm more ticked that it is a war zone of errors under win95. Now before u go blaming it on poor Win95, realize the quality of pmaker lite...snicker. Seriously, I need a good patch making program which allows stereo 16-bit samples and is easy to use, but powerful. Thanks for any help. -jim -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Jim English - jenglish@hpserv.keh.utulsa.edu / EJP51823@vax1.utulsa.edu ______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Apr 1995 09:44:06 +0300 (EET DST) From: Tero Molander Subject: Re: GUS/MAX and CD audio connectors No Sony CD audio connector is not picky and in fact Sony cable uses only one of the two GND pins too! And disabling CD interface in MAX does not affect CD audio interface... you can naturally disable CD interface of the MAX and use interface card that came with your CD-ROM drive and still connect audio from CD-ROM drive to MAX. -Tero- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Apr 1995 18:25:08 -0400 From: HumongousE@aol.com Subject: Re: GUS Daily Digest V21 #21 Unsubscribe HumongousE@AOL.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Apr 1995 08:23:58 -5 From: "Adrian Kwong" Subject: Re: GUS Daily Digest V21 #21 > Subject: SSF2T demo > > For those who do not know, GameTek has released the official (official > because there was a very old, unofficial demo of it before) demo of Super > Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

It uses the HMI Drivers. When I run it, the music sounds fine, but the digital FX are "echoy", "messy", "not coherent" almost as if the voices are playing the wrong section of DRAM. I also have the exact same problem with other programs that use HMI. (although UAKM, SSF2T and one or two others work just fine). I tried setting my DMA to 1, and/or 7/5 IRQ's. To no avail. --- =========================================================================== Adrian Kwong akwong@bme.synapse.net 613-726-6762 Bald Mountain Ent. ak605@freenet.carleton.ca Ottawa, Ontario =========================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Apr 95 13:43:33 EDT From: jcossin@pgt041.cpd.ford.com (Jon Cossin) Subject: GUS Daily Digest V21 #21 (fwd) > Date: Thu, 20 Apr 1995 15:47:11 +0000 > From: glock@chip.cba.ufl.edu > Subject: GUS/MAX and CD audio connectors > > (Original message deleted) > > (Original message stated that the user could not get the cd-in > line to work on his GUS Max when it used to work fine on > his Ultrasound) Your problem may be that ultrinit allows for enabling and disabling of the CD-in as a command line switch, you need to make sure you enable it with ultrinit (just like -ej and -dj disable the joystick port, I am not sure of the switch for the CD-in, but look in your manual). It is disabled by default. I had the same problem when I first got my Max.

I bought Teac CD55A last month and I have no problem in connecting with the my GUS MAX. What I did was connect the Teac CD Drive with the panasonic interface and don't forget to disable jumper3 (jp3), enable jumper6 (jp6) and remove the pin cap from jumper 10,11, and 12. Connect the audio cable 4pin which comes with the Teac CD to the mitsumi, but it should be connected the other way around since the ground cable is inversion compared to panasonic. Install the disk that come with the drive and get the old or latest driver from the Teac BBS support or you supplier the driver is Teac_cda.sys. Replace the Teac_cda.sys which has been installed by the disk with the old or latest driver and set your autoexec.bat especially for the line /T:2 (type 2 CD drive instead of 0 or 1). The teac driver which come with the installation disk is buggy and it won't load your CD Drive properly. By doing all these My Teac CD Drive is running fine with my GUS MAX and I could get transfer rate around 596k/s. I hope this will help.

Is there any reason for this? Also, how the files on the ftp servers seem to be missing? Adam "Whoyou" email: whoyou@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca ...from way up north in Canada.

Someone asked about OPTi chipsets and 16-bit DMA a few days ago. So here's my own experiences about OPTi chipsets: I have two motherboards with OPTi chipsets. Older one has 495SLC and it had some problems with 16-bit DMA... I got 2 of the 3 channels to work in DOS but only 1 of the 3 in Windows. Newer board has 895 and it works like a dream... all 16-bit DMA channels work both in DOS & Windows and it is pretty fast chipset too. So I'd say that avoid older OPTi chipsets (<- 93) but go for newer ones. -Tero- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Apr 1995 09:45:56 -0500 From: "Samuel Audet" Subject: subscribe ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Apr 1995 00:49:21 +0800 From: Andrew Koh Subject: System SHock CD with gus max hi there!
