Subject: did Gravis exit the soundcard business?
Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk


I noticed that Computability dropped the Advance Gravis Pnp (Pro) from
their December Computer Shopper ad. I went to www.gravis.com and
most of the listed "online" suppliers do not list the sound card (they sell
Gravis joysticks, etc).

I noticed that in the Gravis product list, they only list their game
peripherials, but not their sound card. The only reference to the GUS PnP was
an entry for dowloading the device driver.

Is Gravis getting out of the soundcard business?

I feel like asking the common Simpson question, "Dr. Monroe, in your
expert opinion, is it time to panic yet?".
