- Are boy are you wrong!! I'm not flaming you, don't worry. I'm sure
- you never heard the GUS. Well, give it a try. I'm sure fall in love with
- it as I did. I tried hacking with my GUS and ohh surprise!! Easy!! Now, I'
- ll try to have the Developer Kit to do some programming with my GUS.
- Don't say we want as many people as possible to buy the GUS. We're
- not Gravis sales reps. We don't have to do that to have GUS support since
- support is _already_ is the making. Again, you should hear what the GUS can
- do. As for an excellent example, try Star Controll II on the GUS. It
- brings _any_ other boards way down. Even the Roland since it can't play
- digitized sounds. The sound is sooooooo realll!!!! I'm virtually thrown
- into space each time I run the game.

- >I have a question, too: Is the SBOS (SB emulator) a driver program? If so,
- >how much memory does it require? Can it be loaded high?
-
-
- Yes. From a TSR. 16K big. High loadable. Good point: Gravis can
- write TSRs to support other boards like the MT32 TSR in the making. So
- Gravis can be the _most_ supported board available. Dream? Maybe not. GUS
- is still young but beleive me, the future looks damn good for the GUS.
