ULTRINIT.EXE grabs the interrupt that your gusmax is on. I would guess that
your MAX is using the same interrupt or baseaddress as something else in your
computer. (Maybe even the regular GUS). For example, I have had a simular
problem with my SCSI tape drive in OS/2. At times, when I tried to use the
same irq that my gus was using as the MIDI-IRQ, I had to boot dos and run
the little tape-backup check utility. It grabbed the interrupt, then I had
to boot OS/2 to use the drive. Same concept, I'm sure..

Subject: ULTRINIT and GUS MAX
Hi,
I'm using both a GUS and GUS MAX under a little known operating system
(QNX) that provides a driver for the GUS (luckily). Unfortunately it
doesn't work with the MAX unless I boot into DOS first, run
ULTRINIT and then reboot back into QNX. What does ULTRINIT
do differently with a MAX than with a GUS? My own code written using
the SDK has the same problem so I don't think it's just a case of
the output being disabled. Ideally I'd like to replicate the
actions of ULTRINIT but I haven't seen the source for it anywhere
(unsurprisingly). Can anyone help me?

Subject: ULTRADRV.TPU & DMA
I'm currently writing (or at least, attempting to) a wave-table midi-engine
using the UltraDrv unit provided with the SDK. I have two problems which
someone may be able to help with.
1) Downloading sample data to GUS DRAM. It seems that UltraDownLoad may have
an error in it (It could be my fault, but I'm sure it's not!). Downloading
data to some parts of memory works fine, the sample data is fine, but at
certain memory positions, the data is completely corrupted. I am using
UltraGetMem to allocate the memory position to download to, so there is no
problem with it not being a multiple of 32 bytes. Also, there is nothing
wrong my DRAM, because I have tried poking the data in byte-by-byte, which
works (but is slooooow!).
Is there a bug in UltraDownLoad, or could it be something else?
2) I am using volume ramping interrupts for enveloping. After I have enabled
interrupts (UltraVectorVolume with VolumeIRQ enabled), I cannot stop them,
even using UltraStopVoice.
How do I do this without changing the UltraDrv code?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
