What are you talking about? I never heard of SB support in hardware, except for
some false rumors. The GUS 3D is software, accoding to Jay Wilbur who has
seen it in operation.

The GUS is not deemed obsolete. Spreading rumors that it is just might make it
so, though. Are you in the pay of Creative Labs, maybe?

The differences between 2.2 and 2.4 are in the board layout, not in 
functionality. There's no need for a patch.

Sure -just select ultrasound midi synth as the output device, and load the
patches you need with the patch manager. You can do everything except save

No, actually, I was commenting on suicidal marketing from the company's point
of view.  No one has to pay me money for my point of view.  Besides, I wouldn't
have gotten the GUS if I didn't think it worth the money.  I find the 
conspiracy theories regarding people badmouthing the GUS to help CL bizarre.
I'm sure CL would be flattered to know that armies of net readers stand ready
to defend an ancient combination of two FM chips and a DAC against 32 voice
wavetable synthesis.

There were plenty of companies in the computer industry which died because
they announced products which cut into their existing line.  Osborne comes
to mind, as does Adlib and its AG 1000, which some people said was announced
to cut into SBPpo sales.  This announcement is even more bizarre given that 
stores have just started stocking the GUS.  Regardless of whether or not
the 3d is software based, the confusion and uncertainty about a new product
intro may be enough to slow sales.

Wonderful.  I am still disturbed by the failure of Disk 4 of my GUS, the 
outrageous popping before playback, the inadequate memory, rushjob manual,
lack of full patch support, and now strange marketing.

I have found virtually no slow down for any of the software I 
run with SBOS.  This goes for my 286-12 as well as my 486-33.  
I've found that slowdowns only occur when using sbos in 
conjunction with Qemm, or probably any memory manager.  I hate 
TSRs and Expanded Memory Managers, they slow down your machine 
and you always end up with incompatabilities with some 
software.
 
I reccomend that people use DOS 5 loaded high and just 
himem.sys with SBOS.  Nothing more nothing less.

66Mhz should work fine with the GUS' joystick port.  This is 
because the Intel DX-2 66 runs at 66Mhz internally only, and 
33Mhz externally.

I've found the following prices for the GUS through mail-order:

Computability  1-800-554-9930  UPS ground (I assume)  $135 + $6.75 S/H
telemart       1-800-521-1973  Air Express            $127 + $8    S/H

Note:  I've ordered many things from Computability in the past and have
gotten good service and prompt shipping (4-5 business days) to Michigan.
I haven't ordered a GUS yet, but I'm strongly considering telemart, since
they will ship it overnight, and the price is low.

I'm thinking of dumping my current SBPro to get one of these.  The only concern

Any ideas or opinions on this matter...?

  Okay.  If the Focal Point software for the 3D effects is all you need to 
process the pseudo-QSound thing, then it seems to me that all you need to do
to play these sounds on your Ultrasound is to have someone ELSE who has the
software preprocess the sounds, and then save them again.
  What does this mean, if true?  Game developers buy Focal Point, make the
music, use Focal Point to do the stereo imaging, and then again save the result
down to two tracks of digital audio, which is then played via the normal 
Ultrasound.
  Alternatively, they could have a stripped-down version which would allow
Ultrasound owners to play back the 3D files with the proper imaging, but not
record, which could be included as a sound driver or something.
  Is this right?
  Someone shoot me down...

I have a Thunderboard also, it came with a driver disk that had an SB driver
and an AdLib driver.  Check your box again for this disk.  I installed the
standard SB and AdLib drivers that come with Win-OS/2 3.1 and my TB works

No, not really.  It's stereo and maybe slightly higher quality, but there's
really no difference.

The Roland boards are made for music and music professionals, so they're
really not too good with game UNLESS you have a Soundblaster to handle
the digital effects.  I think almost all of Origin's games support both
at the same time.

I think game makers will start to pick up support for the GUS within a
month or two, so expect to see a lot of games for the GUS in 6 months
at the earliest.  Could be sooner, that's just the feeling I get.
I don't know about GUS upgrades, but I'd say no.  The GUS is totally
different from any other board, so it's hard to translate between the
two.  Finally, yes, digital effects are played through the GUS (including
speech) when it's emulating the SB.  They sound fine.

RIGHT NOW, THIS SECOND, THERE IS NO TOMORROW:  SBPro.  The SB16 seems to
stink (haven't heard it, just heard about it), AdLib dropped the ball long
ago and I don't think the AdLib Gold 1000 will make any impact, the GUS
isn't supported significantly in it's native mode (that'll change, I'm
sure) and the PAS, MultiSound, etc are too expensive for what you get.
I personally upgraded by AdLib to a GUS recently, and I'm very pleased.
The GUS also costs less than the SBPro.

All this is my opinion, and there's sure to be dissenting opinions out there...

For what it's worth,

I'm not Martin he never uses this account.  Anyways, nope, don't
personally know of any FTP sites with 669 files other than epas
which were all uploaded by me.  Believe me there's not many more
669 files than the ones already up there.  I'd say less than ten.
 
We'll be seeing more as time goes on though.

Later er er er er er!

You've simply run out of memory on the GUS.  Upgrading to 1Meg (at a cost
of ~$30) will solve your problem.
