        I feel like I am making you do all the work, but I am stuck in
converting your assembly into C++ source. (My assembly is not up to par so
please forgive me).

I can't seem to get the proper results from the ram test module and I
think it may stem from the way I initialize the GUS. Here is my routine:


//-------------------------------------------------------------------
void u_reset(void)
{
    int voice=0;


    outp(BASE+0x103, 0x4c);        //Turn on memory writes
    outp(BASE+0x105, 1);
    u_delay();
    outp(BASE+0x103, 0x4c);        //??? Samples won't play without this
    outp(BASE+0x105, 0x07);

    outp(BASE+0x103, 0x0e);        //Turn off stereo (or something)
    outp(BASE+0x105, 0x0df);

    //voice loop


    do
        {
        outp(BASE+0x102, voice);
        outp(BASE+0x103, 0);
        outp(BASE+0x105, 3);
        }
    while (++voice != 32);


}

//-------------------------------------------------------------------
void u_delay(void)
{
asm     {
    mov     dx,300h
    in    al,dx
    in    al,dx
    in    al,dx
    in    al,dx
    in    al,dx
    in    al,dx
    in    al,dx
    }
}
//-------------------------------------------------------------

If you can see anything wrong from a glance I would appreciate if you
could point it out.

And one final thing, I am pretty confident in, but not totally sure about
my u_poke and u_peek routines, once again, voila:


#define LSB(x) (x)%256
#define MSB(x) (x)/256
#define LSW(x) (x)%65536
#define MS24B(x) (x)/65536
//-------------------------------------------------------------------

void u_poke(unsigned long int address, int byte)
{
    outp(BASE+0x103, 0x43);
    outpw(BASE+0x104, LSW(address));
    outp(BASE+0x103, 0x44);
    outp(BASE+0x105, MS24B(address));
    outp(BASE+0x107, byte);
}

//-------------------------------------------------------------------
unsigned char u_peek(unsigned long int address)
{
    int byte;

    outp(BASE+0x103, 0x43);
    outpw(BASE+0x104, LSW(address));
    outp(BASE+0x103, 0x44);
    outp(BASE+0x105, MS24B(address));
    byte = inp(BASE+0x107);
    return (unsigned char)byte;
}
//-------------------------------------------------------------------

I am obviously not conserned with tight code. I only want it to work, so
any help would be appreciated. Thank you very very much.

Hi guys,
  I have just installed six 44256 chips on my GUS. STar control 2 is "funny"
now ..(noise when I'm at menus)...MIDI songs don't play properly (they
sound weird)

Have i wrecked the card?HAs anyone got the problem?

Well you finally got to me.  I hope Gravis is paying you folks big bucks to
maintain this mailing list :-).  I just could not bear any longer to be bomarded
with all this info and not actually have one of the cards in question.

I bought it at a local Babbage for $149.99 (I figured that if you add S&H to
Disk-Count's $133 price, you would come up close to this, plus I can return it
to Babbage if it does not work).

Last night I plugged it into my system (386-40 with Opti 82C392/82C391) and did
the installation...all seems to work fine, so far.  Following are the questions
I was dying to find out, along with some answers:

Q: Good grief...all this IRQ/DMA/Port stuff?  Will I be able to do this?

A:  Yes.  I pulled out my old joystick card and did not have to move a single
jumper.  Everything else is software.  I took their defaults, except for the DMA
channel, where, as they suggested in the readme file, I tried it out on a 16-bit
channel (7 I think).  All is well.

Q:  So the installation really talks to you?  Is it useful?

A:  Yes.  No.  It just says stuff like "Now set the IRQ"

Q:  Do you really have to be careful not to hurt your ears if you run the
amplified output to headphones that don't have a volume control?

A:  What?  Say that again?   Oh...YES you do have to be careful.

Q:  How is "SBOS" pronounced in the phrase "SBOS Installed"

A:  ess-bee-oh-ess.  Not ess-boss.

Q:  Are these people on the mailing list just torqing off about how good the
demos sound?  I mean, you know how people are about new toys that they have paid
good money for...

A:  *NO*.  It sounds WONDERFUL!  It was unbelievable.  Better than my D-110
(which may not be saying much, of course)

Q:  What was your favorite demo song?

A:  Yellow Rose of Texas.  I could not believe the banjo patch!  Fabulous!  Now
I want to see what the clarinet sounds like.  That seems to be one of the
hardest things to do in FM and LA synthesis.

Q:  What problems did you notice with the demos?

A:  Really the only thing I noticed was that the end of the notes did not seem
right, especially with the organ (Toccata and Fugue especially).  It cut off
too soon.  No echo.  Perhaps the T&F should have been played with less staccato
and it would not have been so noticable.

Q:  Does the package contain that new stuff that Gravis signed an agreement to
ship?

A:  No.

Q:  Did you have any trouble with SBOS (I mean S-B-O-S)?

A:  No, but then I did not use it.  A recent disk-death incident left me without
any games installed which might

Burns (who is glad he is taking a few days off from work soon!)

Ok, I have just uploaded the file to epas. For those with ftp access, it
is at archive.epas.utoronto.ca in the pub/pc/ultrasound/submit directory
as gus0009.zip. If you have trouble connecting to archive, as a temporary
measure you can ftp to klingon.epas.utoronto.ca or 128.100.160.36.

Happy GUSsing!
Gab.

Nope, read on.

Lame design, as 2E8 is generally used for COM3 or COM4, I forget which. Thanks
for making the info public, my next video card will not be Diamond.

But, you stated earlier that according to Gravis this is incorrect. And
indeed, in the readme file of my GUS software, (1.21) the range is 3X2-3X7.
So, if you set 2E0 or 2B0 as your GUS base address, you get a conflict with
the video card.

I got static and wrong patches with Starcon II with Qemm and and GUS @ DMA3,
after moving the GUS to DMA5 it ended. I don't understand why, because DMA3
shouldn't be used for anything on my machine.
