- No, I did not say that! To repeat myself: The GUS has everything the PAS 16
- has (and more), but since it has a better synthesizer solution, it's not as
- compatible with the SB as the PAS. Everything on the GUS works perfectly,
- the only problem for now is that some of the included software is not quite
- as good as it ought to be. (this includes SBOS, the SB compatability
- driver -- which I won't claim is flawless. But then, I don't claim - or
- wish - the GUS to *be* SB compatible!)

- Yes, that's why we are trying to give a user a certain idea on how good the
- cards are,isn't it? And that's why I had to respond to your somewhat
- errorous posting on the GUS vs. the PAS! ;-)
