I'm just curious: is there any reason NOT to have the UltraSound and the Sound Blaster IRQ's both set to the same IRQ? I tried it in a few games/applications, and I haven't had any problems, yet. I mean, you don't actually use the SB emulation at the same time as Ultrasound's native mode.

He's full of it. John Smith repeatedly tells us that the MAX is based
around the GF1 and therefore cannot access more than 1 meg.
My understanding is that the MAX is the GUS 3.4 (or something very close)
with 16bit daughtercard and SCSI daughtercard functionality built in. If
that's the case, the current GUS should/will be identical in sound quality
and patch loading ability, and in fact should NOT be outdated as soon as
the MAX arrives, "real soon now (TM)".

Subject: Patch Cacheing
Hello all,
Well, I am having a few problems doing patch cacheing with my GUS and
Cubase/Score for Windows(like...it doesn't work). First of all, does
anyone know why?
Second of all, Who knows of a good patch loading program to load patches
into my 1 MB RAM on my GUS. In other words, maybe I don't need Patch
Cacheing...rather I will have to manually load patches into the GUS from
some other program besides Cubase.
I do know that we get the Patch Manager with the GUS, but I can't figure out
how to load patches that are not part of the GM set. How can I set up my
own sets with custom patches? I would really love to be able to put small
groups of patches into directories and then load them with manually with
some patch loader. If there is nothing out there yet, then I may set out
to write one myself. One thing that would be really cool would be a way
to save a small set of patches as a configuration file, so that you could
simply open that configuration file, and then a small set of patches would
be loaded into the GUS memory.
Anyone know of anything which does any of these things already?
