- Just to let you know, there are those who have been able to get it to
- work under a DOS window. The trick is to get all the IRQ and addresses
- such that there is absolutely no conflicts. I can;t cause I have too
- much hardware in my computer and have to use IRQ 7 which is really for
- the printer but you can cheat under DOS but now OS/2. So the real
- solution is to for me to wait for an OS/2 driver.
-
- But I have been telling everyone all along, please send Gravis a message
- saying that OS/2 is for real, we are using it, and the other soundcard
- has OS/2 drivers (Soundblaster has one and PAS is coming out with one).
- Gravis did say they will eventually come out with one but it's not at
- the top of their priority list right now. The tech guy I talked to
- doesn't seem to think OS/2 is that popular yet.
-
- Anyways, if you have email access, just email them ....
-
- For tech support guys, their email address is 71333.350@compuserve.com.
- And for the sales guy, yuzik@sfu.ca.
-
- Send email to both of these addresses and let them know OS/2 is for real
- and we want drivers! :(
-
- Thomas.
