- The number of addresses in the mailing for the Digest has now
- exceeded 700.
-
- However, several of these addresses are reflectors out to
- several other readers. Also, the Digest is being catalogued and
- indexed for use on America Online (mainly because mail has a very
- small size limit there).
-
- With all the reflectors, the daily readership of the digest is
- 800+!
-
- Hey, you folks at Gravis! Are we significant yet? :)

- To: Ultrasound Daily Digest <ultrasound@dsd.es.com>
-
- To: All,
-
- I am new to this digest, and have been trying to read most of the previous
- digests to catch up on what's been going on, so if any points I raise are old
- then I'm sorry.
-
- I bought my Ultasound in early December and on the whole have been fairly
- happy with it. I was reading today in an old digest about problems with
- sbos in Comanche Maximum Overkill and Falcon 3.0.
-
- Using sbos 1.20 (I have downloaded the new 1.22 driver but not tried it)
- Comanche gives no problems on default sbos settings. Falcon3 is more
- problematic as although it does play the sampled voices, they tend to stop
- after 10 minutes and then remain completely silent. Has anyone else had this
- problem? The music seems ok. I have been using the Sounblaster option in
- Falcon setup.
-
- Windows 3.1 is still giving problems with playing midi files. I understand
- that the problem is to do with patch caching. I have tried the new 1.22
- drivers but didn't seem to help that much.
-
- Anyway, I would be grateful to anyone who could supply a list of GUS supported
- games as the only one I know about is Star Control 2. You seem to get games in
- the US much earlier than in the UK.
-
- That's about time I've got all for.

-
- Hi all. Here is the latest bulletin I just grabbed from the Gravis BBS.
- One thing to note is that they now have Internet access. So very soon now,
- you'll not need to call long distance to contact their BBS, you can
- access it from here. We also hope that they'll eventually either link
- to comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard, or more likely, link to the Ultrasound
- mailing list. So if you have been reading the Ultrasound messages from
- Usenet instead of from the mailing list, you'll be missing out on things
- (probably already have). Anyways, here's the bulletin...

-
- GUS Tested Programs Compatability List V1.05 Jan 26, 1993
-
- Send updates to rdippold@qualcomm.com.
-
- This is a list of compatibility settings for the Gravis Ultrasound card.
- I have not personally verified all of these, most of them are submitted to
- me by other GUS owners. Your results may vary. Nor is this a list of
- all programs that will run with the GUS - this is just a list of those
- that have been tested by those who sent me mail. It is for the
- purpose of helping GUS owners run a program without hunting for the
- appropriate options.
-
- If the switches listed don't work, try removing EVERYTHING from your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files. These settings worked for someone,
- and memory managers and other device drivers seem to be the main culprits
- when something doesn't work.
-
- The "Version" indicates the version of SBOS that the program was tested
- with. 1.23 is a new beta from Gravis.
-
- Please note the "Most Wanted" section at the bottom of programs which
- just don't seem to want to work. Please check all 16 combinations of
- settings ( -o= none, 1, 2, 3 and -x= none, 1, 2, 3) before submitting it
- as a "won't work."
-
- Things are now arranged in a hierarchical fashion. If you manage to
- "promote" anything up the hierarchy, please let me know ASAP. Ditto if
- you notice a problem with a game running with an old version of SBOS that
- no longer occurs with a new version.

- Subject: GUS Faq finally done... sheesh.
- To: Ultrasound Daily Digest <ultrasound@dsd.es.com>
-
- Well, I finally finished v1.00 of the Gravis UltraSound FAQ.
- I've posted it to several newsgroups, including news.answers, which is
- moderated. So you'll see it on your favorite newsgroup as soon as it
- gets past the news.answers moderators.
-
- And as soon as I see it there, I'll mail it to the Daily
- Digest as well.
-
- How does this sound to everyone:
-
- - The FAQ is posted to several newsgroups once every two weeks.
- - The FAQ is sent out in a special issue of the Digest once a
- month.
-
- I figure there's going to be a lot of changes with each
- release, so it needs to be sent out often. Also, with the speed that
- some sites delete old articles from USENET, it needs to be sent out
- every two weeks so people can get it.
-
- PLEASE, FOLKS! Read the FAQ *first* when you have a question.
- If you don't find the answer there, then ask it here.
-
- PLEASE, FOLKS (part 2): If you see a mistake in the FAQ, or
- think of something that should be added, etc., etc., let me know. I'd
- like to keep this up to date and useful.

- The new version of kbmidi on epas did not have source as of a month
- ago, when I downloaded it. It does correctly load patches for the
- GUS, as advertised. I started with the old version of kbmidi, which
- does have source, and added the dozen or so lines needed to load
- patches correctly. In a separate message, Yuri has suggested he has
- source for the new version of kbmidi. I'd be very interested in that
- source code.

- Very definitely check this out! It will at least make you smile (i laughed

- On a 386 33 even in non turbo (16MHz), with other things going on in windows,
- it worked. The only problem i get in windows is that windows complain about
- MPU-401 beeing used . I click ok, return to my window, and it work (except
- that there is a little graphic garbage. I have the same problem with the
- graphics with the gusmod based mod player i'm doing).
-
- Of course in dos, it works flawlessly (even with QEMM. QEMM friendly programs
- get my vote, since with all my drivers, i need QEMM.)

-
- In clear: a 386-25 with a soundblaster wont even cut it (well, TZ did remove
- some effects so that it works), while a 386sx16 will work correctly.
-
- BTW, Twilight Zone, you should have programmed it in P286 mode, so that
- 286 users would have been able to use it (i'm sure they are fast enough).

- Hi all. I'm new to the mailing list, so this may have been covered elsewhere,
- but...how do you get the new patches to work??? I read in something that I
- d/led that you should edit the ultrasnd.ini file and replace a pattern name
- your new pattern name??? I tried this and it will not use my new .pat file.
- By the way, the pattern was a Ren & Stimpy sample converted to pat with wav2pat
- Any ideas what I should do?

- By the way, I have made 7 megs worth of Ren & Stimpy .wavs for use with my
- wired for sound. I don't know about copywright laws, so I don't know if I can
- upload them anywhere, but if I can, I have them zip-chopped into 4 3-1/2
- high density size zipfiles. If anyone is interested, mail me.

- To: Ultrasound Daily Digest <ultrasound@dsd.es.com>
-
- The plethora of MOD files available is overwhelming. Could people on the
- net send me a list of their top-ten MOD's and the location of
- the MOD's? Here're the categories I'm interested in:
-
- * Rock/Pop
- * Funk
- * Jazz/Fusion
-
- Please send me:
-
- 1. The name of the file and its location (i.e., chicago.mod
- under /pub/pc/ultrasound/incoming on archive.epas.utoronto.ca)
-
- 2. A brief description of the song (i.e., Pop music rendition
- of a song by the group Chicago)
-
- If there is enough interest (i.e., I get more than ten replies)
- I'll summarize and post the results to this digest.
