: experiencing total system lockups while using a GUS soundcard??

Both myself and a friend of mine, with similar setups (Intel Plato p5-90
motherboard) and GUS's have no problems.  Runs GREAT, the sound is as good
as Doom.  I don't know about his setup, but here's mine.. Base 240 (his is
220, I think), DMAs 5 and 5, IRQ 7, Midi IRQ 5.  I have revision 3.4 of the
card, and software version 3.57.  I have 1 meg of ram on it.  For memory, I
sometimes use EMM386 (dos 6.2), sometimes QEMM v7.04.  Seems to work fine
with either.  Oh yeah, I almost always use Norton's NCACHE2 (from version 7
of the Norton Utils, I think).

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