Is the classic (non-Max) GUS available in any stores? Does Gravis
sell the GUS's that they get from people who upgrade? I know a few
people who'd like to get a GUS, but they don't want to shell out the
bucks for features that they won't use such as CD-ROM interfaces.
I guess the ACE will fill this void, but they don't want to have to buy
another sound card in addition to the GUS.

Subject: GUS & Lion King
There has been some talk recently about GUS and Lion King. I, too, am unable to get LK to produce any sound whatsoever, and I have never had any problems with my GUS before (IRQ 5, DMA 1). Others, though, have reported LK to work perfectly well with their GUS.
Surely there can't be one version that's working out and one that's not?
Or could it be a problem with certain settings/versions of the GUS?
Any suggestions appreciated

Subject: GUS and DOS volume control
This may be a braindead question, but I cannot figure out have to
change master volume under DOS.
I am using 3.59 disk sets, but I cannot find the documented params
for DOS manipulation of ULTRAMIX.INI. Windows is a breeze to set,
but DOS is a puzzle.
Any help/direction appreciated...

WC3 has native GUS support. I am playing it right now and it sounds great!

I know at least five people (including myself) with Flightsticks connected to GUSs
with no difficulty.
The problem you are describing is most commonly caused by the presence of
another game port (on your motherboard or on an i/o card) which has not been
disabled. [Note: Often i/o cards include game ports even if there is no connector
on the back of the computer for it]. See if there are any jumpers on your i/o card
which can be set to disable a game port.
If you *really* do not have any other game ports on the machine, then I suggest
you look for other interrupt/port conflicts, since to the best of my knowledge there
are no problems/incompatibilities between the GUS and the Flightstick.
You do not need a midi box unless you intend to drive a midi keyboard from your GUS.
