AMD & GRAVIS Press Release
--------------------------
I know there is going to be many questions about the following
press release. At this time we are limited to what we may disclose.
As more information becomes available we will let you know.
February 07, 1994
FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE
TORONTO: AED
VANCOUVER: AED
OTC BBS: GRVSF
ADVANCED GRAVIS COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY
AND ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES ANNOUNCE
TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT
Advanced Gravis Computer Technology Ltd. ("Gravis") and Advanced Micro
Devices, Inc. ("AMD") have announced the signing of a license and
development agreement enabling the two companies to share technology
for PC-based multimedia and entertainment applications.
Under the ten-year agreement, Gravis' existing and new audio
technologies will be exclusively licensed to AMD, subject to payment
of minimum royalties. AMD will have the right to design, manufacture
and market integrated circuits that combine Gravis' UltraSound(TM)
audio technology with AMD core technologies. AMD will cross license
certain technologies to Gravis for integration in new audio products.
The agreement is subject to regulatory approvals.
"We are very excited to seize an opportunity that takes our technology
to a new level, and to have a partner such as AMD," said Grant Russell,
President of Advanced Gravis. "This relationship reconfirms the choice
made by software developers who committed to Gravis early on."
"Advanced Gravis' leading-edge audio technologies are complementary
additions to existing AMD expertise in computation and communications,"
said Gary Ashcraft, Vice-President of AMD's Communication Products
Division.
Advanced Gravis is a leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality
entertainment devices for personal computers, including joysticks,
UltraSound(TM) audio cards, PC GamePadTM and MouseStickTM input devices.
AMD is the fifth largest US manufacturer of integrated circuits, and
produces microprocessors and related peripherals, memories, programmable
logic devices and circuits for telecommunications, office automation and
networking applications. AMD has sales offices worldwide and has
manufacturing facilities in Sunnyvale and Santa Clara, California;
Austin, Texas; Atsugi, Japan; Bangkok, Thailand; Penang, Malaysia;
and Basingstoke, England.
SBOS V3.82 (GUS0039.ZIP)
----------
This is an update to V3.8 of SBOS (GUS0037) which was released
in January. It includes the following new features and fixes.
- SBOS is now a COM file instead of an EXE saving a little space
- An updated SBOS.BAT file is included which will properly load
the .COM file before the .EXE version of SBOS
- Automatically loads into high memory if available
- Restoring of Vector table fixed when unloading SBOS
- No longer hooks the keyboard interupt
- Updated online help. Type SBOS /?
Update to GUS0038 (GUS0040.ZIP/GUS0041.ZIP)
-----------------
You may have noticed that precussion through PLAYMIDI, ULTRAMID and
MIDIFIER sounded a little flat. These programs have been updated to
correct this problem.
ULTRINIT had some problems properly initializing a 2.4 UltraSound
card.
PLAYFILE had some difficulty with stero WAV files. It also did not
properly restore the vector table. Hence many programs would not
run correctly after this program was ran.
GUS0040 includes only the above files and is intended for those
of you who already have GUS0038 and just want the updated files.
GUS0041 is a complete re-release of GUS0038 include these new
updated files.
Gravis AIL/32 V1.4 (GAIL3214.ZIP)
------------------
We released this update a week ago. It includes a fix for the
same plastic precussion problem PLAYMIDI had. It also fixes a
divide by zero error which occured with some games.

such the logon procedures for each BBS may vary. For instance, some give
you immediate access, while others have a probation period which may last
several days. All nodes are encouraged to offer all the Gravis files and
messages to first time callers but this may not always be the case.
