- That's wrong. I can't remember what I put in my Autoexec but gimme
- the time to look in it and I'll get right back to you. Unless someone gives
- you the right setting before me.

- What MIDI file did you try to load? I had the same error when I
- only had 256K of memory. Now I have 1 Meg and the error disappeared. From
- my experience, the GUS should be sold with 1 MEg. 256K is not enough.
- Your problem is, when the GUS loads the patches to play the MIDI files, it
- runs out of memory for the altosax.pat patch. Upgrading to 1Meg (cheap and
- easy) will solve the problem. Buy 6 DRAM 44C256 70ns chips.
