You shouldn't need one. The Mitsumi FX-400 (the quad speed one) is E-IDE, which means it'll plug in as it if were a second hard disk. If you have an IDE HDD controller, it'll work, but if you have an EIDE controller, it won't slow down your HD when you use your CD (and it's faster and no more expensive). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the velvet blackness of an African night |*RAD HOST(Lion King) - at the hour before dawn when the land is full of dreams -|*FDC Nobody a lone voice heralds the new day |*X-Phile & GUS user | As the red disc of the sun rises, |*Ask me anything the one voice becomes many | Lion King related. until the Pride Lands echo with song. | __The Art of The Lion King___________________________Matt@machine.demon.co.uk___ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Apr 95 20:03:43 -0400 From: "Barrie Rody" Subject: Re: GUS Daily Digest V21 #15 On Sat Apr 15 09:37:06 PDT 1995, GUS Server wrote: >Date: Sat, 15 Apr 1995 12:00:34 +0200 >From: Piet van Oostrum >Subject: Wacky wheels under DOS/OS/2 > >Does anybody know how to get sound out of WW in a DOS session under >OS/2?

Or, get the pmode program to replace dos4gw. Mitsumi 4x and GUS: No daughtercard is required since the Mitsmumi 4x is an ATADPI IDE drive. Thus, it connects to your IDE or EIDE controller. You can connect the audio cable to your GUS. I have mine hooked up to my GUS Max and it works great! Harry <:-{} hpulley@uoguelph.ca | This message released to the PUBLIC DOMAIN \ Harry C.

There is a slight problem with the audio connector, but fear not. It does not fit, but merely use your male force and push it into the 3 left connectors with your amplifyer on at low sound until you hear it. No big use for audio-through anyway, but it's cool to have the system working as it should anyways... ;) Good luck... (btw: the fx400 mitsumi sucks, getting a fx400b day after tomorrow, but I guess it's just as crappy. Get a pioneer IDE-4x-cdrom..) -- \//// |. .| ( - ) Broderdue ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Apr 95 12:40:08 EDT From: bbaskin@mail.utexas.edu (Bryan K. Baskin) Subject: Quad Mitsumi, ROTT and stuff Hey Sinclair, The Mitsumi Quad CD-ROM is an EIDE drive, so all you need is an IDE controller. I don't know if it needs to be EIDE or not. If so a separate EIDE card would be cheaper and more useful than trakking down some daughtercard for the GUS. Does anyone know if/why this drive was discontinued? I can't get it from my supplier anymore. He said Mitsumi was cancelling all of their CD-ROMs. Will there be a replacement? To guy and ROTT 1.2a, Don't know if Apogee has their head out of their arses yet, so make sure the GUS is set to IRQ's less than 7. Worked on older versions. To guy who sent in the ENTIRE DIGEST yesterday, BE CAREFUL!!!!! DON'T DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!! I'm glad Origin seems to like the GUS internally. Lets see some support then... Also, i'd like to perhaps see CODE OPTIMISATION... Gee Origin games are huge... :) Later.
