As someone else said, it's documented that you shouldn't do this (mach32
INSTALL.EXE doesn't like QEMM).  Other than this, though, the ATI GUP works
fine with QEMM 6.02.

I don't have this problem at all.  Maybe you should try the latest driver,
version 3.11.  If this doesn't help, at ftp.uwp.edu in /pub/incoming/proaudio
there's a file named PAS15UT.ARJ or something like that which has an
executable that obviates the need for MVSOUND.SYS if you're only running
Windows.
