1) Where is Gravis located, ie how do I get one of those great cards?  
(Sorry, I don't have the FAQ)

2) How much memory (RAM/ROM) does the GUS have on it?  Is it possible
to use the memory in the PC for an audio synthesizer, such as a very
nice 8 MB or so digital piano?

3) Does the GUS card have a SCSI interface on it?

That's all.  Thanks in advance...

Advanced Gravis is located in Barnsby (sp?) near Vancouver, Canada. Their 
phone number is 604-431-5020. You probably won't get any boards from them, 
though, as they do not (normally) sell to end users or retailers. Try some 
mail order store, like ComputAbility or Telemart. You'd probably get a 
better deal there, too.

It has 256KB RAM (standard 44C256-10) standard, but can be expanded to 1MB.

Not with the included software. The board itself cannot address (as far as I 
know) outside the 1MB on the board, but I guess that it would be possible 
with some "dirty" programming or something.

>3) Does the GUS card have a SCSI interface on it?

The GUS supports CD-ROM controller daughterboards, currently the LMSI 
version is available. SCSI will be in the near future, so will generic NEC 
and Mitsumi.
