Once upon a Mon, Feb 23 2004, Pete Bessman hit keys in the following order: > > I don't even know what GUS is, but I can help you with > the decent samples problem. Check out: Shame on you, it's the reason i still have a 486 running :) It's the Gravis Ultrasound! I think Gravis was the first open source minded soundcard manufacturer offering all the specs for free download. Alsa was originated from a GUS driver for linux (the Linux Ultra Sound Project). It was also the first affordable wavetable soundcard for the PC and has always sounded better then a $ound Blaster imho. It's a very characteristic chip, the GF1, and it's still a shame that AMD turned it into the most buggy soundcard ever, with their new and improved Interwave chip... that was the last GUS ever made... such a shame :'( martijn.
