Introduction
------------

	Gravis would like to thank ALL of its UltraSound Plug & Play customers
        in their patience and understanding awaiting these new drivers.  We
        are confident that you will be very satisfied with these drivers and
        their installation.  Although we are confident on the functionality
        of these drivers, they are still BETA, and therefore may contain
        remaining bugs / problems.  We must remind you that they are provided
        *AS IS* and are NOT supported by our TECH SUPPORT Department.


Installation / Setup
--------------------

	Below are the steps to follow for PROPERLY installing and setting up
        the DOS/Windows 3.x drivers / Software.

1.      Unzip PB1DISK2.ZIP onto a floppy disk and label that disk
        "Public BETA 1.0 DOS/Win 3.x Disk".

2.      Unzip PB1DISK3.ZIP onto a floppy disk and label that disk
        "Public BETA 1.0 Preparation Disk".

3.      If you also want to have a Windows 95 setup disk, unzip PB1DISK1.ZIP
        onto a floppy disk and label that disk
        "Public Beta 1.0 Win 3.x Disk".

4.      Exit Windows. You can not perform any of the installation from
        within Windows.

** If you have other Plug & Play devices in your machine, we recommend you **
** turn off your machine and remove them now.  After you remove the cards, **
** reboot machine once again and continue below.                           **

** If your Plug & Play system is working correctly (e.g. there are no IRQ  **
** or DMA conflicts with other devices) you may not wish to upgrade the    **
** ROM on your UltraSound. If so, skip to step 10.                         **

5.      At the Command Prompt, insert the 'Public BETA Preparation Disk'.

6. 	Type A:  <Enter>  to go to your A drive.

7. 	Type   PNPMAP /f GRAVIS.ROM   <Enter>

8.      When prompted, hit Y <enter> to confirm re-writing your EEPROM on the
        UltraSound Plug & Play Card.

9.      When there is a message stating that the writing of the eeprom is
        complete, remove the floppy disk and reboot your machine.

10.     When you are back at the Command Prompt, insert the
        "Public BETA 1.0 DOS/Win 3.x Disk".

11. 	Type A:  <Enter>  to go to your A drive.

12. 	Type   INSTALL   <Enter>

13.     The INSTALL program will guide you through the rest of the
        installation process.


Bug Reporting
-------------

        We have setup a special email account to handle ALL comments,
        questions, and bugs regarding the PUBLIC BETA 1.0 Version 2.0
        drivers.  Please email everything to   pnpv2@gravis.com.  Due to the
        anticipated 'swamp', please be patient for a response and check our
        web site often for updates and info regarding the PUBLIC BETA.  We
        thank you in advance for all you assistance and support.


Known Bugs / Issues
-------------------

	We have tried to make this BETA release as stable as possible but we
        know of only a few minor bug still to be fixed.

1.      To minimize 'false' bugs, please follow the 'Installation'
        instructions above COMPLETELY.

2.      If you have a sequencer program setup for using the MIDI IN PORT and
        you have NOTHING plugged in, they will crash.  If you are
        experiencing this problem, just plug in a joystick / gamepad  / MIDI
        keyboard and the problem will go away.  We recommend NOT configuring
        the program to use the MIDI IN PORT unless you have one plugged in.

3.      We have had a few testers having problems with motherboards with the
        'MR.BIOS' brand BIOS installed.  We are investigating this but have
        no solution at this time.

future.
