- 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.
