Great find! To me, the GUS was a good fit for the 486. I don't know much about the Max, but I have a Classic in a 486DX2-50 build and an Ace in a SS7 build.

Epic games like Jazz, Epic Pinball, One Must Fall supported wavetable MIDI only via the GUS, if I'm not mistaken. Zone 66 too, I think.

OMF was MOD based music. A GUS would be a great fit.

There were already a few threads about this here, however for games the glist helps: http://www.gravisultrasound.com/files/documen … ation/GLIST.TXT

Platform I would say 386 to SS7. The speed gain of a GUS is of course most noticeable on a 386 system.

I am tempted to put it inside a 386DX or 486 box just by looking at GUS release date.

486DX2 66 MHz fits better to times of GUS.

It's funny, I actually prefer the Sound Blaster version of the Zone66 soundtrack, which is amazing by the way - I still get chills when I hear the music from the opening sequence.

Thank you all! Especially elianda. I'm looking forward to download gravisultrasound.com completely just in case.

Considering the rig, it's either going to be a 386-DX40 with cache, or an Intel 486DX2 system on SIS 471 VLB chip set, I don't know yet.

Maybe this is also helpful: I have here a rather complete, ready to use Ultrasound directory
ftp://78.46.141.148/driver/Gravis/UltraSound/ULT/

If you put this in c:\ult you can use the following lines for init:
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\ULT
SET ULTRADIR=C:\ULT
SET ULTRASND=240,7,7,7,7
ULTRINIT

elianda, thank you! That is very helpful.

Just finished installing GUS on a 5x86. Didn't have much time past few days and the card is a little stubborn 😀

First of all, I'm very excited to know the card is in good working condition. And the sound output quality is spectacular! Small wonder this stuff is so pricey.
