>Hope you can get it working, you're missing out..when do the lockups happen?

I have tried everything to get this program to play right.. If I select '
Gravis Ultrasound Max' (I have a MAX) for the Digital FX, and *NO* music
card, the game runs FLAWLESSLY (but with *NO* music.). When I select
'Gravis Ultrasound' (No 'Max' for music options!? eh??) for music, the game 
will run fine for about 5 mins then just randomly lock up on me. Ive tried
different base ports, DMA's, IRQ's, etc.. NOTHING stops the lock ups on
my MAX when I select 'Gravis Ultrasound' for the music.

Im assuming its a bug in the program itself for Max owners and the music
device you have to select. Every other program works just fine
out there. 

I can live without music, but its DAMN good music from what ive heard of
it so far. <cry>


Again, Gravis with Sound FX and NO music = OK
       Gravis with Sound FX and    music = Random Hangups

I still dunno why it doesnt say 'Gravis Ultrasound Max' for a music 
selection, while the Digital FX does have it.. HMMN. 

Any further hacks or helps would be appreciated!
