Subject: 7th Guest, HELP!!
Hi,
I am trying to run 7th guest with t7gfix3.zip (GUS driver fix) that I downloaded from epas. However, when I unzip it, there are no directions on how to use it. There are no files that look like GUS drivers. (Ultramid is there, but that's it) . I run the install program and there is no option for GUS. T7gfix3.zip comes with a file that lists all the files that should be present after unzipping, and there are about 20 missing. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? Can anyone help, please??? Am I supposed to modify the groovie.ini file?
Thanks In Advance,
Greg - A GUS owner, and proud of it!!!

Subject: ftp beginner
I just got access to an internet account, but I dunno how to
use ftp! (I'm an internet beginner!) I can get to, say
"archive.epas.utoronto.ca" but
after that, it won't accept my login and password. Don't want
to take up too much room here, so if a kind soul can just email
the basics on how to use FTP to me I'd gladly appreciate it.

HI GUSsers,
Does anyone know the exact price of the MIDI box in Canadian $$?
I need to send in my order for but don't know the price. btw, for interna-
tional customers, is there a faster way in which we can get our stuff
apart from surface mail? My friend got his MIDI box after 2 months of waiting!
btw, has anyone managed to get the GUS running encore in MPU401 dumb mode?

Subject: GUS Amp Out -> Volume control
Not too far back, someone(s) were discussing connecting a volume control to
the GUS. I don't remember the details, but I believe it was mentioned that
a headphone volume control from Radio Shack would do the trick, IF used on
the older GUS's...? (with only 2W not 4W?) If someone has the detail on
this, or remembers when they were posted, please drop me a line.
Also -- recently I've been looking in to connecting the internal speaker of
my PC to some amplified source, namely the GUS. I was originally just going
to use the Mic input. But... is the CDROM jack (4 pin) good for anything?
Can I use that instead?

I can do the same under Windows (if I remove my GUS Windows drivers first).
It seems that only GUS users can since the card doesn't force the task of
mixing the MOD music on the CPU as do the SB's and those of their ilk.

Gravis once sponsored the radio show "On Computers". I don't know if
they still do or not. Gravis also had their own race car in the Vancouver
Indy. I'm waiting for the TV spot. :)

It shouldn't help since when playing the notes, the DMA channel isn't
used at all. DMA transfer occurs only at the start when patches are
being loaded into GUS RAM. Once they are loaded, all the subsequent
