Hello all... I just got back from Comdex, and WOW!!!, so many computers, so
much to see, and all the great presentations... definitely something you must
experience at least once...

Anyway, about the Ultrasound and new drivers w/Strike Commander, etc...

  - The guy demoing Strike Commander was next to the Gravis booth, and was with
	Origin. He said he had to use a 'patch on a patch' to get the Ultra-
	sound going with the new drivers, but to me, it looked like it was
	working flawlessly... i.e., no lockups/slowdown... then again, it was
	a 486/66 he was using too...

  - I talked to one of the Gravis reps, and he said the reason for the delay
	with the MIDI connector is faulty wires from the supplier in Taiwan. 
	They've gotten several different shipments of wires, and each time, it
	set them back a few weeks.

  - About the 16-bit daughtercard... he didn't know when that would be done,
	but said they were still working at it. Same for 3D stuff, although
	he did say it would be at least 2 months or so before we saw anything
	to do with 3D.

  - The new drivers that will be used first with Strike Commander, etc.., will
	be available soon, so expect to see a lot more support for the Ultra-
	sound.


I think that's about it. The thing I'm anticipating most is the stupid MIDI
cable. At least now I know it wasn't Gravis' fault for that, but it would be
nice to see my keyboard put to some real use with some cool 16-bit patches. :-)
