#define quoting(Roel de Wit) // From: roel@slash.xs4all.nl (Roel de Wit) // Date: 11 Oct 97 19:28:28 +0100 // Subject: Please read this.. // To: gus-general@earth.GAIANET.NET // Hello All, // // Since it seems that Gravis has discontinued it's line of soundcards I would // like try to set up a programming/beta-testers team which I planning offer // Gravis so that they may have enough fate in us to give us the driver(s) // sources.. And this is where I/we need your help... // // For the programmers among you I have the following questions: // // - Do you have a GUS (of course you guys do)? Which one(s) ? // - Do you have some "REAL" C++/Assembly/driver programming experience ? If so // please give some details (things you made in the past, etc..) // - Would you be willing to do some coding on potential new GUS Classic/MAX/PnP // drivers for free ? // - Would you be willing to work as a member of a group (probably via a small // mailinglist) on this, just to be sure things won't run out of hand. // // Additionally I would also like to have some "skilled" beta-testers.. For this I // have the following line of questions about your hardware : // // - Type of GUS(ses) you posses // - Type of PC (CPU, Motherboard, RAM installed, cards installed) // - Operation System(s) you use. // - Additional hardware (such as MIDI keyboards etc) // // If you can answer the above questions positively please send me an EMAIL with // at least one of the above groups fully answered and perhaps equally important, // your motivation. // // The current goals are: // - Directsound drivers for GUS MAX cards (should not be too hard) // - Better digital audio streaming support in the GF1 drivers // - NT drivers for GUS MAX and probably also for the GUS Classic // - Fixing the MIDI-in bug in the GUS PnP's drivers // - A patchmaker for the GUS PnP line of cards // - 64+ Kb .fff file support // - Support for .XM and .IT modules via the Digital Music driver or an external // program that uses the drivers. // - Support for multiple layers in the GF1 drivers, possible through .fff/+.dat // support (the Linux driver allready has this) // - ??? Future Win98/NT5.0 drivers ??? // - Make GUS survive the coming years... // // When having anything to add to the above please do... // // P.S. I'll report back to you all in a week or two in the GUS Digest. // // Grtzzzzzzzzzz Roel // // Utopia Sound Division - http://sdc.wtm.tudelft.nl/utopia // << CHECK OUR WWW SITE FOR INFO ON OUR GUS PnP "Utopia" SOUNDBANK !! >> // mb164@hi.fontys.nl (school) | roel@slash.xs4all.nl (home) // // ...
