- Well, I have it successfully installed on a 486-33. It kicks
- booty. Works beautifully, in other words.
-
- EVERYONE MUST BUY STARCONTROL 2, TO GET A TASTE OF WHAT THE
- GUS CAN DO!

- It's Saturday morning, he's been up late all week installing his
- ultrasound card, only to get up early the next morning to go to class.
- He's tired, he's beat, his eyes feel like sandpaper, and finally he can
- sleep in. But wait, what's that sound? GUSman's alarm is ringing. His
- arm reaches out... Is he trying to shut off his alarm? Is he trying to
- rip out the power cord? No! He's reaching for a crowbar to pry open
- his eyes! A smile crosses his face. He throws back the covers and
- leaps forth, eager to start a day of experimenting with his
- ultrasound... only to trip over the box which he misplaced in his stupor
- the night before and land in a heap of Ultrasound Daily Digest
- printouts. Stumbling to his feet he flicks the computers power switch
- only to realize he hit the light switch instead and has just blinded
- himself. undaunted, and after some fumbling, he manages to find the
- correct switch. He lowers himself into his chair and relaxes as the
- ultrasound begins to play his opening wav... only to be blown out of his
- chair when Robin Williams screams "Gooooood Morning Vietnam!!!". It
- seems during his fumbling he accidently pushed the stereo volume to ten.
- Climbing once again into his chair, he settles in for a long day
- of experimentation, when suddenly: "SNAP!" "CRACKLE!" "POP". He panics!
- Did he blow a chip? Did he fry his speakers? No... it was only his
- brother walking by with his bowl of rice crispies. Sigh! maybe he
- should just go back to bed.

- Subject: Starcon2 Sound, other stuff
- To: Ultrasound Daily Digest <ultrasound@dsd.es.com>
-
- First, just playing around with Starcon2. If you install SBOS, the
- sound still sounds exactly the same. Don't know if it's still
- autodetecting the Gravis, or if it's just playing a MOD (which would
- be dissapointing)... Anyone with a real SB/SBPro to confirm this?
-
- Next, in response to Lance Hartmann, the Gravis works fine in my
- 486/50, SIS chipset, AMI Bios, 16MB. Coexisting with a Roland
- MPU-401.
-
- Finally, for those of you with CD-ROMs, is there an internal
- audio-in connector for CD-ROM audio? (Not the line in outside, but
- one of those little pin connectors on the card itself for internal
- CD-ROMs). Just wondering... How else can one connect the audio out
- on a CDROM? (I suppose the headphone port on the outside?)

- Hi, I was wondering, does anyone know the format for the .pat files?
-
- Also, does anyone know of a GOOD music composition program to take advantage of the GUS besides Cakewalk?
-
- Thanks...

- We've had the UltraSound running with no problems in a 486-33, a 386-25, and
- I believe also a 386-40. Unfortunately it looks like it got zapped last
- night (this was an early beta of the board) so as of now, we're GUS-less.
-
- About Star Control II:
- The GUS support in SC II is loading all samples from a MOD type song
- onto the UltraSound's onboard RAM. It is >>NOT<< just using the DAC!
-
- Anybody successfully using an SB Pro & a GUS in the same machine?
