: Can any tell me about the features about GUS?
:   1.  The full name of this sound card.  

Gravis UltraSound.

:   2.  The price of this card

Not sure.. was hearing things about US$130 not too long ago, I think.

:   3.  The manufacturer  

Advanced Gravis
(don't know the address or phone number.  anyone?)

:   4.  The characteristics (eg. sampling rate, no. of bits...etc) 

44.1 ksamples/sec, 16-bit, wavetable synthesis music generation.

:   5.  Compatibility  (SB compatibility or SB pro compatibility)

All SB compatibility is done through a software driver, and thus has problems
with some programs that need SB compatibility.  Most programs work, however,
and programs written specifically for the GUS can produce far better output
than the SB ever could.

:   6.  Quality 

Basically a high-end card for a low-end price.  The one drawback is its SB
emulation.  The one major plus is its wavetable synthesis.  If all you ever do
is play games, you probably don't want it, but if you're interested in anything
more sophisticated, it's quite nice.

: Thanks for anyone who try to answer my question

Note:  I don't yet have one myself.. this is all based on what I've read in
this conference.
