I went through your list of stuff and didn't see anything that
interested me. Also called Egghead Software 1-800-EGGHEAD and the
guy there said that they did not carry the PhoneDisc USA Residential
CD SET, he said they had another CD that was named 70 MILLION
RESIDENTIAL PHONE NUMBERS for $30.00 but said they DON'T carry the
PhoneDisc USA Residential 2 CD Set. But anyway I sold it yesterday.
But I still have the Shareware CD's forsale, if you want any of them
just let me know. My number is 205-332-4162.

Hello to everyone. I hope someone is able to help me with the problem I
am encountering. I have an expansion board for an IBM AT which I need to
program to. The board contains address decoding as well as a coder/decoder and
some RAM. I need to be able to interface to it. The problem is I don't know
how to go about doing this. I am presently trying to learn assembler language
in an attempt to do it. I have some knowledge of C as well.
There seems to be no info in any books on how to go about interfacing
expansion cards.
Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks in advance.

To all you who have Panasonic 562's and sound blaster pro 2.0's (esp. model
CT1600), I would GREATLY appreciate any feedback on installation. I have
installed lots of creative CD's on sbp2's (and I think the creative CD-rom is a
panasonic with a sticker on it) but I didn't get a hardware driver with MY
cd-rom like I did for those. I am ALMOST 100% sure the internal connections are
right (can you get them wrong? I doubt it) but I am beginning to wonder as I
have tried countless drivers and none seem to work. Perhaps someone out there
has the same combination of hardware (and perhaps had the same problem) and has
some suggestions, perhaps even the driver I am after. I would appreciate any
suggestions and/or drivers [I'm going to try them all until it works].
I'm gonna post this everywhere (well, twice at least) until
I get the stupid thing working. Dunc

was telling me he had refunded my money AFTER I told him what I was
going to do. I spent a good sum of money calling his Voice number only
to find a recorder which i left a message on, He did not reply. I sent
an EXPRESS letter to him at a cost of $10.00, he did not respond to
that, So I think you perhaps seen the ONE msg that he did send me

Again I would like to warn buyers of CD's that you should be very
careful in dealing with BriceFleckenstein especially with Checks or
Money orders.
I discussed his case this morning with my Credit Card Company and they
said anytime you send a Check based on yr Credit Card, thats one where
the Credit card companies send you several checks and the amount is
charged to your credit card, They said that is the same as handing
someone cash and is NOT covered if someone tries to cheat you out of the
Product such as Brice did me. He may not been trying to cheat me but he
sure did not send the CD's I personally ordered from him over the phone
neither did he answer any of my letters/phone to him, till I started
taking it to the Magazines and to FTC, he finally issued me a refund
after over 60 days.
The Credit card Company said beware of Dealers who DO NOT take credit
cards, but wants cash/Checks.
Just some helpful info to hopefully stop someone spending so much extra
like I did.

Hi,
First of all, when you load your colony ship make sure you pack as
much food and life support units as possible. (The life support allows
you to keep the colonists on the space ship longer, thus giving you more
time to clear land with the RoboDozer.)
When you land and have picked a general landing area, you should place
your seed factory as close to a mine as possible; preferably, it should
be within a reasonable distance of more than one mine. Also, try to
pick an area with smooth land around it, as you will be unable to
bulldoze some of the rockier terrain types.
As soon as the seed factory is landed, put the RoboMiner on the mine,
set the RoboDigger to dig down to the next level, and get the RoboDozer
to clear land near your mine. (Which brings up another point; one of
the four corners of the initial complex is a smelter. It might be a
good idea to arrange it so that it is near the mine itself. I still
haven't really figured out how the smelters work, because the stupid
manual keeps saying that you need to build roads or monorails to them.
Ha!)
Once the RoboDigger has opened up underground level 1 for you, set it
to digging out that level. (You do this by setting the digger on one of
the squares next to the elevator shaft; the computer will give you a
menu to choose what direction you want it to dig.)
Building priorities: Agricultural Domes are a biggy, or everyone will
die of starvation, and morale will plummet.
Near the mine, you need to build a storage tank and a warehouse. That
way, the smelter and the factory included in your four initial
buildings can begin working, and you will be able to get more robots
to help you build... but you also need to build a Robot Command to get
the new robots to work!
If you don't know already, by clicking on the lower part of each
building, the computer will tell you what each building is and will
bring up whatever option menus are needed for that kind of building.
Oh, and one other thing... if you want to stop the (rapid) morale drop
of the first several turns, you have to build residences for the
colonists... Each residence houses 25 people (?) and the lower your "%
occupied" is, the better.

Hi there....
Not that I can shed any new light on your question but I would
like to add a query of my own to the original one. The 562 B is supposed
to have a 64k cache. Is there a flag that I should be adding to my
driver to activate that cache or does it trake care of it on it's own (
pretty unlikely since finding the darned driver was painstaking in the
first place).

the access time is 195 ms and the transfer rate is 635 bps, the best part
besides being one of the fastest drives out is it has a 1MEG buffer. every

This much is true. I got the 1,000 images. BTW, "irregardless" ain't a word.
<g> The fact that it has the claimed 1,000 images doesn't make me feel any
better about the disk, though. For BBS usage, it's a horrible waste of space.
I could've easily gotten 3 times as much for the same price.
JM> BZ>2. Next, I loaded Xtree Gold to have a good look. What I found next
JM> BZ>made me madder than just about anything I've ever seen on CDs:

Not painful to try to understand. You have this problem with things I express
as my own beliefs/feelings, as if I'm trying to say *everybody* should feel
this way. Have never said anything of the sort. Why does my not liking a
disk make me a shallow, stupid, insensitive person? I'm not.
For what it's worth, I'd consider this disk even *more* useless, though, if I
had a one-drive system. If you're looking at the percent space wasted, it's
minimal when averaged out over 24 disks. If I'd spent $269 or whatever on a
*single* drive, I'd sure want as close to 680 meg as I could get for the
money. I think people should know that there is only 400 meg on this disk,
especially before buying it for a *single* CD system. Of course, this applies
more to SysOps than anyone else. We're usually quite broke from feeding our
systems, and need all the bang for the buck we can possibly get.
JM> BZ>that at least 90% of the non-adult files on this disk are duped
JM> BZ>somewhere among the other 23 CDs I have on-line.
JM> Hardly true, at that time. So now you're up to 23 on line?
I really don't understand the confrontational nature of your message. Yes,
I've got 24 CDs on-line. Do you have a problem with that for some reason?
I've had a 6-disk for about a year and just got the 18. As originally stated,
BB2 was one of the disks I bought to populate the 18. The 6, being old, was
already populated. Jeez!!!
I'm not in here bragging about anything. In case you didn't know, 24 CDs
hardly makes mine a unique system. 80th percentile, at best. To borrow from
some of your earlier verbiage, there are a *lot* of systems with more than 24
CDs on-line. Heck, of the 200 systems in KC, there are at least 5 with more
storage than I have, and about 20 with more phone lines. I tell you this
because I want you to understand I've got nothing to brag about, so I've no
motivation for bragging....

Oh. It's so painfully obvious to me now! Added Bonus 200MB Shareware means
there's only 200 meg of adult files, too, rather than the 480 most people
would've suspected. How could I make such an asinine mistake?!?
JM> That made it possible to help out the little systems with a
JM> lot of recent (at that time) shareware, some of it not
JM> available anywhere else. There was also room for the

I, for one, would rather buy 680M of shareware or 680M of adult for the same
price as a 400M mixture. I've been there. Used to have a single CD drive for
the board and that made the decision as to which CD to buy quite important.
I'm not saying all SysOps would feel that way. I'd suspect most would,
though, since shareware is readily available and most of us have hard drives
on which to store it.

Re-read what I wrote. Each directory having a FILES.BBS is one of the things
I *liked* about it. Not saying to get rid of it. I *love* disks with
FILES.BBS. It takes me about 15 minutes of manual effort to adopt such a disk
to the system. It can take HOURS for one with no FILES.BBS or with them all
bunched in a separate directory. I had one disk take over 4 hours...

Mike, I agree, but I don't require a contract! It's common sense, IF either of

else know.. And if it cost more (which it did) to send the package, I would
expect to get the extra ($1.99 in our case) money..
I know now (for in the future) what it really costs to send to you, so a better
estimate should be easy.. I never thought it'd be $6.99 to ship.. I have no
problem with the contract, but I don't feel it's needed..

NO, They don't ship to Bermuda.. I doubt.. I'll ask though.. They have good

mscdex.exe now comes with DOS 6.2 and the help file tells you everything

also if mscdex is loaded before smartdrive, then smartdrive will cache the

If you run 64 lines on a BBS, and you have a VERY popular disc, even with a

drive reduces delays on your BBS.
If you run a small line count BBS, then a quad spin is overkill....

Make that "propriatary" instead of "IDE" and you'll be more correct - though
I've seen an SCSI double-spin at $155 at shows lately (I think it was a
Phillips
model).
NEC CD-ROM drives have ALWAYS carried a premium, even over the OTHER SCSI
drives with comparable specs on the market, and are NOT a fair basis of
comparison unless there ARE no other comparable SCSI drives around yet.

Mitsumi has never made a caddy-based drive - one reason I LIKE them!

Decent low-cost units, tend to last reasonably well, don't push the

Also, Net Mail is a LOT more expensive than Echo Mail for such usage, thus

The Allways IN-7000 will handle 2 IDE and 7 SCSI drives on a single VLB
controller.
The PSI Hyperstore 1600 will do so for ISA (via 2 daughter boards - I think
that controller supports up to 4 daughterboards).
The IN-7000 will also handle up to 3 controllers (or was it 4?) per

DL>SCSI has got nothing 2 do with sound.
Hi Daniel. The easiest way to do what you are asking is
1) Does the interface card you bought for the CD drive
have RCA outputs on it? If it does, you can buy a cable
at any store that goes from two RCA jacks (Left and right)
to a stereo mini plug. Your sound card will have a line
input. Just plug it in and play CD's all you want.
2) The other option is more complicated. I work for a
computer store and we do this fairly often. There are
special cables made that will adapt just about any cd
drive sound output to just about any sound card. You have
to be careful though and make sure it is wired correctly.
To do this, you will have to know how the plug on the
sound card is wired, then know how the plug on the CD
drive is wired. We rewire the plugs on the cord all the
time. It is pretty simple once you know what pin does
what. The cables usually run about $10.00. If it isn't
worth all that, use option 1.
Good luck
Cheers

No dupes with previous versions although there are files from Feb,
March and April on both 3 and 4... there is a time overlap
because it is not possible to catch many of the newer released
programs.

It is the next in the series... and of course it is better,
bigger, greater, new and improved! <g>
RV> Is CoC 2 still available from you?
Yes... and I'm still offering it as a promotion to the Cream of
the Crop series for only $8.95 + $1.05 for shipping. Cream 2 is
still an excellent disc because of the large amount of programming
code. 14 megs of Pascal, 13 megs of C, and 13 megs of general
programming utilities/tutorials.
RV> What about CoC 1?
CoC 1 has been sold out for about a year... you may be able to
pick up this collector's edition from someone second hand.
RV> Sorry to be so full of questions ... I'm just puzzled.
No problem... don't be puzzled... just place your order today
and get Cream 4 direct from the press... all pre-orders
received before noon August 8 will be shipped the same day when
I pick them up from the press latter that week. Send $20 for
Cream 4 to: Terry Blount, Box 36, BLB, Al. 36509
...and include $10 for Cream 2... and/or $15 for Cream 3.
Thanks for your inquiry.

If you get Cream 2 and use the Mx_cream automatic installation
program there are 2 problems that you will have to manually
correct in you Filearea.ctl. The area for the Text Editing
files should be Editor and not Edit... so just add "or" to the
path to the files in that area. Second the Business descriptions
will get appended to the BBS listings. You need to create a new
file area to set up the Business listings and cut the
description file that contains the BBS listings... saving the
last part for the Business listings....or simply copy the
files.bbs from the business directory to the name you specified
in Filearea.ctl for the business files.
Sorry for those bugs... but I think I finally got it right for Cream 4.

There are no known dupes between any of the Cream of the Crop
cd's. Cream 4 does cover 3 months of the same time period as
Cream 3 but that is only because it is not possible to gather
these new programs immediately after they are released. As you
know many programmers (and many of them are the best) do not put
a lot of effort and expense into distributing their work and
their upgrades. Most of the utilities I have written are never

There are probably many marketing things I need to do to build
consumer confidence but I hope everyone will be happy with my
"satisfaction guaranteed or your money back" policy. The only 2
returned disc I have had out of the thousands sold from all
versions were 2 Cream 3's which did not work on someone's
Mitsumi drives.... and they would have never given them up if
they could have used them. I suspect those two drives needed
some alignments.
I have made the file listings and their descriptions available
for file request... but remember that I supply multi-line
descriptions for every archive and that makes the master list
219k. Just freq Cream4.zip from 3625/441 ...I run a Zoom 28.8

Francois,
First, I wish to tell you that I am not an expert at the legality
of renting software in Canada but I can tell you what I have learned
from the computer stores in my area of Canada.
Before NAFTA, it was legal to rent disks and CDs. When NAFTA was
signed, only CDs can be rented in Canada. So I guess that
if you need more info on this issue that you read what is written in

Not to pick on any particular CD title, but is not a minor
complaint to most CD buyers! You buy a CD with 425MB on it and
good chunk of it is nothing but hundreds (or thousands) of
copyright notices.
If you bought a book and every single page and every picture in it
would have a prominent copyright notice, I am sure it would not be
a minor complaint. By the standards of some CD publishers, every
page and every graphics picture of every printed book, magazine
and newspaper should have a prominent copyright notice, so people
would be reminded that it is copyrighted.

-> Title: Busty Babes 2
Hi Bob!
I beg to differ - the shareware is actually a plus. The idea comes from the
fact that there are lots of BBS sysops with only a single CD-player, but there
are few discs that cater to both the shareware-loving and adult-file-loving
crowds. Someone without a 18 disc changer is usually stuck
with either the one kind of CD-ROM or the other. This is an ideal disc for
a BBS sysop who has users looking for both adult and shareware files.

The Sound blaster compatibility has nothing to do with it, it's just the

that clicking sound. (I'm running SB16 MCD and AWE 32's) The same thing

Spiders on the Star:
OBJECTIVE: Cover all the purple circles around the edge of the star
with spiders. NOTE: The puzzle is won when all but one
circles have been covered with a spider. The spiders
will move alone one of the lines from the starting
circle to the ending circle.
SOLUTION:

P7 P6
OR
1.) Click any purple circle to start.
2.) Click on either purple circle connected via the lines to the
one from step 1 to have the spider move to there.
3.) Pick a purple circle so that after the spider moves he will
be on the circle from step #1 above.
4.) Click on the circle from step #1 above to have the spider move
to it.
5.) Pick a purple circle so that after the spider moves he will
be on the circle from step #3 above.
4.) Click on the circle from step #3 above to have the spider move
to it.
Continue this way around the star, picking a spot so that the spider
can move to the place you CREATED the last spider on.
Bishop's needing a change:
OBJECTIVE: Swap the bishop's out, white to black.
NOTES: You DO not have to move White/Black/White/Black etc.
You can start with Black or White AND can move multiple
Black or White Bishop's in a row.
SOLUTION: By numbering the board as show follow the moves in the
numerical order under the #'s columns.

Get an audio cable (the thin small one) and plug it into the CD and the
sound card. You can also plug it into the controller card, and then get
an audio cable for the audio out on the controller to the audio in on
the sound card.

It is most likely a Panasonic 562. Getting video smooth under most any

a 2X drive is being pushed hard for smooth video.

MSDOS 6.2 requires that you run MSCDEX _before_ you run SmartDRIVE, if

Try removing Iron Helix and see if you still have the problem. If you still
have the prob. it's time to call tech support. Otherwise, don't keep them

Read: [N/A] Private: No
-=> Quoting Carl Benson to Eric Jan <=-
CB> Is Outpost a good purchase?
Ecch. No, not in its present form. It looks pretty, and seems to have a
lot of potential, but it has some MAJOR problems.
1) The documentation is EXTREMELY lousy, and the "official guide" you can
get in book stores isn't much better. You need some of the charts and
tables, but it isn't very helpful when it comes to how to actually play.
For example, neither book says that most structures must be connected
by air tubes, and cannot be connected directly.
2) There are a few features described in the docs which haven't been
implemented, stuff that would be really helpful. Like roads and
monorails.
3) The user interface is clunky at best. Although Outpost runs under
windows, it uses its own screwy system for windows and menus, plays
wierd games with your system colors, can't be resized, etc. Also,
there is too much info that you really have to dig too hard for.
Sierra plans to release an "expansion" in a few months that will be sent
out free to registered users, and I assume included in future releases.
It will probably implement roads, plagues, etc., might include better docs,
and probably NOT do anything about the interface. I'd suggest wait until
Sierra releases the expansion/fix, and then ask around to see if it's worth
the trouble.

JM> "Expect" in one hand, "expectorate" in the other. Which

That doesn't make the least bit of sense. If I wanted to wet my hand, of
course I'd spit into it rather than just hope it got wet. In this case, I
wanted a decent BBS-ready disk; not a wet hand.
JM> they are, they cost a LOT more, and you'd hardly have
JM> looked at them, no doubt.
Quite the contrary. Though I've become accustomed to getting quality disks
for the same price as BB2, I wouldn't mind at all paying more for better
quality. One would think you'd have understood that since you know of certain
components of my system (and their cost, no doubt) that amount to a tiny
fraction of the money that gets spent on the system. Another $50 for a higher
quality disk is too inconsequential to worry about.
JM> After you get through with your outburst, have a real adult
JM> read the back of the package to you.
Outburst? If you thought that was an outburst, you obviously don't know thing
one about me. As for your "real adult" comment, that's completely
uncalled-for.
JM> BZ>If you're a SysOp, don't even think of using this disk.
JM> A number of single-CD sysops have already voiced their

According to you, a number have also voiced their *disapproval*. Apparently
enough of them to make the publisher take note.

That explains a lot. Jumping all over a SysOp talking about the quality of
the disk for SysOp use. Of course it's not a big deal for a *user*. You can
easily swap in another disk whenever you like, and put BB2 in whenever you
want it.

Sure wish you would've skipped past my message, since it was FAR from being an
outburst.
JM> just reached out and begged for rebuttal. Take it in the

Yeah, right. That last sentence doesn't even belong in this message.
Apparently, you think you can sweep away hundreds of words of such things as
accusing me of bragging, changing facts ("up to 23 disks now?"), being stupid,
not being a "real adult", and having an "outburst", to name but a few, by
throwing in the word "helpful" in your last sentence.
My message was intended to be helpful by letting other SysOps know the opinion
of one SysOp who has already spent the money on the disk. I haven't seen a
single thing in your message that could possibly be construed as having a
helpful intent.
I'll be posting more opinions (semi-reviews) on other disks and covering their
merits and shortcomings from a SysOp's point of view. For example, I've
gotten hold of some FANTASTIC non-adult disks, as well as a some that stoop to
duplicating entire directories, then bragging about having 650 meg of files.
If you've got a major problem with me posting them in here, that's what
NETMAIL is for.
Let the Moderators (if you're one, cut my feed right NOW!!!) handle problem
users.
For now, let's get off our respective soapboxes and skip the discussions of
maturity, etc, and get back to the topic at hand: CD ROMS.

Eric was told incorrectly. The February/March Hobbes OS/2
does have the OS/2 2.1 -> 2.11 service pack. I have it on

Depending on the NEC model the two drives you describe will not work on
the PAS since they are not SCSI. If you want an econimical drive then
we recoment the Panasonic 562. These drives though they use a
proprietary card have some better features than the Mitsumi. $159

Although this is not CDROM related, I will just post this one reply. Be
very careful trying to make a computer go faster than it should. Reason, you
can sometimes push the speed faster than the ram chips or the cpu can work
accurately. Common item would be you start to get right errors on files
written to your hard drive. Just keep in mind that as files are written to you
hd so is the FAT and partition info. If you speed your cpu up too much, you
could blow the FAT. I have seen this happen before!

A very good point, and one I hadn't considered. Still, I would've liked to
have seen it filled to capacity, but having a mixture is a good idea for those

Hi David. For anyone in this echo to try to give adequite help you
should post more info (ie autoexec.bat and config.sys info) I use a
SBPro 2 and a panasonic drive (I'm not sure the model number) and it
works great. I will include some of my info in the hope that it may
help you. Your message said that you have installed lots of these, so,
my help may be insultingly simple. If so, just ignore it.
Config.sys
DEVICEHIGH /L:1,13856 =C:\SBPRO\DRV\SBPCD.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:220
Autoexec.bat
LH /L:1,57216 C:\WINDOWS\MSCDEX.EXE /S /D:MSCD001 /M:20
The driver I am using is called SBPCD.SYS and I downloaded it from
the Creative Labs BBS. Creative Labs has moved to Oklahoma since my
books were printed. Here are the latest phone numbers I have for them
CL 405-742-6622
BBS 405-742-6660
The file name was SBPCD-XA.EXE. I think the descriptions state the
model numbers that the driver will work with.
One other thing you might want to try. Remove all other non-essential
cards from the computer (Modem, etc) to see if you have a conflict.
Sometimes the numbers may say that there is no conflict, but, somehow
one exists anyway.
Good luck

Others may disagree, but, I have found that good full motion video is
more a function of a smokin video card than cd-rom transfer rates. I
have seen good full motion video on a single spin with a good video card
and fast processor. Like I said, just an opinion.

The Mitsumi drive is supposed to be a little bit faster than the Panasonic
drive. I chose the panasonic drive for two reasons. 1- I have a
SoundBlaster Pro that will only take a panasonic drive, (I could have used
the interface card with the Mitsumi drive but didn't want to take up the
slot for it) 2-The Mitsumi has an annoying sound to it. You hear the
servo motor positioning the laser over the disk. It's kind of a little
zipping sound when it moves. My machine at work has a mitsumi in it and
it drives me crazy listening to it all day. The Panasonic is quiet! and
plenty fast. Don't get me wrong. The mitsumi is a good drive if you don't
mind the points I mentioned.

You asked, so, here's my opinion. Any of the sound cards will certainly
do a good job. If memory serves, the SB16 will only take a Panasonic CD
drive. There is a multi-cd version that will take either a Panasonic, a
Mitsumi, or a Sony. One thing you may want to consider is a wavetable
upgrade option. The SB wave upgrade is expensive and only available on
certain models. I don't think the PAS16 has a wavetable upgrade. I think
the Logitech has one, but I'm not sure. What is wavetable? I'm glad you
asked. Most sound cards have a FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesizer
built onto them. From a fm synth you get cheesy thin sounds-especially
the drum sounds. Wavetable is a digitally sampled waveform that
faithfully reproduces the actual sound of the instrument instead of a
cheesy simulation of it. While it may not seem important now, it is always
best to keep your options as open as you can. The 2X cd drive is a great
value right now. They are great performers and at a good price now. There
are differences between the drives, but, they boil down to personal
preference mostly. There are slight performance diferences, but, in my
opinion they are basically equals. Hope this helped.

Yes your post are going out. I have a similar setup to yours. I have a 486
DX2 with 8Megs and a PAS 16 sound card as well as the NEC triple speed. I
cannot recommend this setup; one the PAS will not transfer data that fast, it
does only 240 to 280 KBS, not fast enough for MPC II level.
I have installed both Encarta and 93 Bookshelve and they both tell me the same
thing the CD-ROM drive is not fast enough. I have install for a friend a
Chinon 535, nice drive comes with a SCSI card (the NEC does not),it is faster
than my setup.
You might check the BBS for the PAS card, the last time I looked there were
lots of comlaint from NEC triple speed owners, and they were not being
answered.
So if you want to use the PAS 16, I would check out their BBS to see what
drives work well with it. If you are not going to use the PAS 16 to run the
CD-ROM, well you out of my area of experience (I am not an expert). Have fun,

Actually, it is in the Registered Letter I sent. That's why it's
registered. I was waiting for your reply to my letter that said I had the
cheque. So, when I received the letter, I just put the extra $2 in it and
sent it by registered mail. As you know, it's a bit slower but is
guaranteed to get there. I haven't heard anything yet but we had a two-day
holiday at the end of last week. That would slow things down a bit. Don't
worry, I will let you know when it arrives!
You seem to have more experience with CD-ROMs than I do. What other ones
would you recommend? I'm looking for Myst without much luck. If that store
has it, you can call me collect to say it's there. Please let me know which
ones have great graphics and content.
Now, Jim, it's already quite late. I will be talking to you soon. Hope that
the letter doesn't take too long to get to you. Thanks again for trusting
me to deal fairly from this far away.

It seams to me that these slow games all use quicktime video (a product
from the ugly world of Macintosh). In those games they get slower and
slower wuth each quick time video shown. It's like they go into memory
or something. Especially in Myst going through the underground tunnel
after the mechanical age. Every time you move there is a quicktime
sequence, after a while I could only hear the sounds movement and not
the video. Then there was a system error telling me I was out of memory
so I should quit the program, there wasn't even enough memory to access
the scrollbar at the top of the screen! Well, 32-bit should help a lot.

Here are a few of the CD-ROM's that I know of as being widely popular:
-The Seventh Guest- great 3d movement, puzzle game. It starts out
as a mystery. You solve each puzzle and then see a video
sequence that creates a great story. THE BEST CD-ROM EVER
-King's Quest 6- classic Sierra game, in my opinion the best of the
Sierra-Quest (police, king's, space) games. Uses hours of
recorded voice so you don't have to read.
-Outpoust- Simulation game where you set up mankinds future in
space. 3d graphics, and lots of control options.
-Gabriel Knight- another Sierra game, uses actors (Mark Hammel, and
the guy who play's Worf on Star Trek) Chilling horror plot.
-Return to Zork- RPG game, great graphics, a classic CD-ROM
-Myst- sometimes slow, but the graphics are worth it. Fairly new
but already on the all-time best list, right up there with the
Secenth Guest.
-Iron Helix- don't buy this, stupid, expensive, and easy.
-Megarace- cool fast graphical racing game. You race for your life
in this game. Great if you wan't a game that you can play over
and over.
That's all I could think of for now, if your new to CD-ROM and you like
a challenge get The Seventh Guest and Myst. Be looking for the Eleventh
Hour (T7G sequal) and Under a Killing Moon to be coming out in the next
couple of months.

day. PowerUp! sells a scaled-down version, complete with parchment-ish
paper (Laser & pin-fed).
All these programs do is access info from a sizable database for a date
you supply (with a one day "close enough" margin on either side). Folks
who receive these "What Happened On..." sheets as gifts are generally
surprised at how accurate they are ("That happened on that very day. It
really happened!").

JP> ! Origin: Infinities Edge Amiga/IBM/Mac (1:141/510)
Here's some help Jeff:
This is a bare bones walk through of the Channelwood Age of MYST. Although
not all details are covered, the main points needed to solve the puzzles, find
the pages, and return to the Library, are covered. This walk through begins in
the Channelwood Age. If you need help getting to the Myst book that brings you
to this age, see the walk through for Myst Island which contains information to
help you find each Myst book on the island. You begin facing a tree on a series
of wooden walkways. Find your way along these walkways until you have found an
elevator, a circular stairway you can't enter, a pump like device with a handle
and the wind mill building. In the wind mill building, turn on the faucet at
the bottom of the large tank. The pipes along the walkway have switches that
direct the water flow to different routes. Set these switches so that water
flows to the pump by the elevator. Enter the elevator and close the door by
clicking on it. Pull the handle and ride up to the lower tree level. Find you
way to the circular stairway and go down it. You can open the door from the
inside and it will stay open. Reset the pipe switches so that water flows to
the pump device at the bottom of the circular stairway. Go back up the stairs
to the elevator next to the stairs and ride it to the upper tree level.
There is a red page, a blue page, and the right half of a note to be found here
along with various clues to the behavior of the former occupants. When you are
ready to leave, make your way to the wooden walkways and reset the switch so
that water flows to the pump device at the end of the deadend walkway. Pull th
handle on the pump and the bridge to the other section of walkway will appear.
Follow it to another elevator. Follow the wooden walkway (not the one you came
here on) until you find a crank. Turning this will extend the pipe across the
gap. Go back to the pipe switches and direct the flow of water to the path tha
leads to the temporary pipe across the gap, which leads to the last elevator.
Take this elevator up to a small room where the Myst book that transports you
back to the Library can be found. Put the page in the same colored book and
read it to get more of the story. Return via the Myst book in the Large Tree t
get the other page. Don't forget to copy down the right half of the note so yo
can match it up with the left half when you find it.

BE>Again I would like to warn buyers of CD's that you should be very
BE>careful in dealing with BriceFleckenstein especially with Checks or

Similar to your experience with Brice, I had a long run of bad luck with
Free Spirit Software. They took the money (credit card) and sent only part
of the order after assuring it was all in stock. It did not come when
promised (over a week late), was shipped land when they charged for air,
and one of the disks that did come in the first package had a lot of
errors on it and I had to really argue to get them to replace it.
They "forgot" about the replacement even though I expressed the bad disk
back to them, dribbled out the rest of the order over the next month (2
disks), and then shipped the replacement *after* (two weeks) I had sent
them a written notice to cancel that part of the order and requested a
refund. Luckily I had not yet purchased a duplicate elsewhere though they
charged (without approval) my credit card *again* for the replacement.
All in all, they charged twice for the defective disk, sent the order land
when they charged for air, charged (air) shipping on all packages that
they shipped out to fill an incomplete order that they assured me was all
in stock when I placed the order, and were slow to correct anything. I
had also been told (later) that the rest of the order would be shipped at
their expense since they didn't ship the full order. Yeah, right. It took
written letters to the credit card company and threatening letters to Free
Spirit Software to get the whole thing resolved - almost 3 months from
start to finish.
I did finally get all unauthorized charges refunded but ended up keeping
the replacement disc - even though it also had read errors. I wasn't about
to go through it all again.
I was posting the running scenario on the Internet CDRom conference and I
hope it cut into their business. Had I been here, I would have posted it
here as well.
Some companies are better avoided altogether. Not everyone is out to make
an honest buck.

What you want isn't possible. MSCDEX always assigns the next available
drive letter AFTER all other drives, include RAM drives. I understand
this messes up your *.bat programs, which depend upon the CD-ROM always
having the same drive letter, whether or not there's a RAM drive ahead
of it.
As a work-around, use MS-DOS's multiboot options for CONFIG.SYS to
create different SIZE ramdisks -- a normal one when you need a RAM and a
tiny one when you don't need a ramdisk. That way you'll alway have the
CD-ROM assigned the same drive letter, and not waste too much memory
when the RAM disk isn't needed.

I don't know where your getting your prices at, but we currently sell
the 602X for $749, the 604X at $995 and the 1804X at $1895. That's a
far cry from $2500. or even $2100.
So, if you take $139. x 6 you wind up with $825. that's a savings of
$76. on a 602x. If you compair the 1804X and take 18 x $139. that
would give you $2502. and we currently sell it for $1895., that's a
savings of $607. Now you also have to take into concideration the cost
of shipping 6 or 18 drives at one time verses the cost of shipping one
Pioneer unit. The other point, which you seem to have over looked is
the prices you quoted above are for propritary units and not scsi's.
These unit will mack's out to only 4 per controller and not 6. Now,
change the figures to a scsi double spin and the savings are even
greater with the 6 pack's verse the single unit systems.
Even though Pioneer has proven to be a very reliable unit, I will agree,
if it breaks you loss the system. But for the most part, most sysops
upgrade thier systems before that does happen.
As for thier out look toward the sysop's, the Pioneer system wasn't
designed strickly for them. The systems are designed for business
rather than the BBS sysops and they needed to upgrade the changers to
the current market requirments. If thier prime business was sysops, they'd
still have the 600's available, but they don't. So, looking from that
end, they are the cheapest and only game in town that can offer a high
quality product at a resonable price.
It's like everything else in this world, when an employee wants more
money, they tack it on to the cost of the product and this maybe the
reason for the increase, I don't know ! But in any event, no matter
how you stack it, even with the increase around the corner, Pioneer will
still offers the end user the lowest investment cost with the least amount
of effort.
Hope this clears things up a bit.....Have A Nice Day !!

Hi,

So I'll ask away again and hope someone can help....
I am experiencing video problems when playing the game. When the video is
playing and I first move the mouse, a small area of the video is displayed at
the lower left side of the screen and
periodically updates tto the current display when the mouse is moved.
The tech.wri says to modify the qtw.ini [video]optimize=hardware to
optimize=device. This doesn't make any difference. It also says that critical
path is known to conflict with IRON HELIX which I also have. It fails to
mention what to do so if anyone knows please let me know.

On 13 July David Lott asked about the sunken boat in the birdbath and wondered
whether it had something to do with the constellations.
Little did he think that a reply would come from Australia.
It does have something to do with the constellations which are the symbols on
the poles which make a haunting noise as you cursor over them. Notice that
they change from red to green. To find out which ones are which colour
(Australian English spelling) you have to do some research in the library and
then go to the planetarium (which worried me at first as it reminded me of a
dentist's chair). A planetarium is not much use in the daytime so turn the
lights out. Use your research to observe the stars at the right time. Then
back to the poles.
Let me know how you get on!
Best wishes,
Peter.

FS>Stopping graffiti on walls and public places is censorship and I'm for

Erm, what if you want to paint graffiti onto your own wall, and sell it?
Would you ban that? Stopping graffiti on public property (or other peoples
private property is NOT censorship.
40% huh? So what? Assuming that to be a true statistic (lies, damned lies,
and all that) then what? Is this meant to mean that therefore pornography
CAUSES rapists? Maybe 75% of all rapists are into snooker (they probably
like the balls) - eek - let's ban snooker!
What RIGHT has anyone got to tell anyone else (who is capable of making an
informed decision) what they may or may not do/read in the privacy of
their own homes with consenting adults?

FS>society or society will fall. I'm for (X)(X) of some objects. Fred..
Sure, there must be rules. Don't steal off someone! I think the huge
majority agree this is a good rule. Don't accept gifts from someone?
Crappy rule. Both involve the taking of property from another, one with,
the other without consent.
'Pornography' (by which I mean to be pictures still, or moving, of
generally naked people doing what most people do when they are naked) if
it is photographed by consenting people, of consenting people and viewed
by consenting people should not be banned. OK it might make me a sick
pervy who stalks and rapes women (I'm not, by the way) but 1) I very much
doubt it, 2) maybe I would anyway, 3) If we all weren't so shielded from
it in our childhood, I reckon the world would be a lot looser place, and
far more fun to be in!
Whew! I've had my say for the year!

SM> Kings Quest Anthology $119
Hi there Steve.
Just wondering what the Kings Quest Anthology is ????
Would it include KQ5 and or KQ6 or is it a NEW story all together.
I am interested in getting KQ5-6 at some time.
Also have you heard of this CD at all, if so what would it cost.
THE MUSIC MONSTER
The "Music Monster" is a HUGE collection of MIDI and MOD music
files. In fact by far the LARGEST collection you will find anywhere.
This new collection has 2,300+ MIDI files and over 2,500 MOD music files!
All types of music from classical to country to rock to jazz.
A user friendly interface allows the user to easily select and
play any music file directly from the CD-ROM disc. Although
a sound card is recommended
NO SOUND CARD IS REQUIRED
to play the MOD music files contained on the disc! The interface
is completely auto configuring, requires NO installation, has
online help, is menu driven, allows the user to play individual
music files, tag files for continuous play, turn repeat on and
off, and many other features too numerous to list. As an added
bonus an additional directory of music playing and editing
programs are also included! BBS index listings are included.
This is the most unique music file disc ever to hit the market.
No other CD-ROM contains this much music and NO other disc is as
easy-to-use as the Music Monster. Over 500 WAV files for Windows
are also included! Purchase this disc today and YOU will have
the largest collection of MIDI and MOD music files at your
fingertips! 4 color process packaging and a 5 color picture disc
are included.
Any luck there Steve, it was taken from the CD rom Echo, search for
Monster and you will find it.
Also my or your cd rom catalogue is getting a bit old May 94.
Is there a new one out yet.
Nice Chatting Steve Chapman

I have noticed recently a rating of many of the latest games, as determined by

regarding this rating scheme:
1. It's effect on direct importation of games from the US and other countries.
- What happens to the shipment when customs inspect it?
- Does it get seized, reviewed and forwarded on?
- Is there any charge for this?
- What is the delay be in classifying your particular shipment?
2. Does this apply to shareware titles?
Any help would be appreciated.

Can someone please help me with a problem I am having with Conan - The
Cimmerian CD Rom. The problem I am having is that every time I get up to the
stage where I meet the large iron warrior (I think it is the quest after the
one where you find the keys in the Temple/Palace) the game locks up when the
iron warrior (or the warrior I call by using the horn) crosses halfway across
the screen. I have tried a number of different config and autoexec files
(including the config and autoexec files the instructions recommend, as well as
using a boot disk) but the game still locks up at that point.
I have a 486 DX2 -66Mhz;
Sound Blaster Pro;
4 Megs of Ram;
MSDOS 6.2 (and I am not using any file compression utilities);
Double Spin Sound Blaster CD ROM drive;
Has anyone else had a similar problem with Conan - The Cimmerian, or does
anyone have any suggestions concerning this problem, as I want to try to solve
this problem one more time before taking the CD back to the shop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

there is a trick to it but I can't explain it. there is a pattern to it,
move mostly the corners, get all the corners the same and the remaining
pieces (in the shape of a cross) then click on the center until it macthes.

Out of desperation I called Mitsumi and found out the latest
drivers were on their BBS under the filename FX116.exe - dated
6/24/94. The CD is now functioning, and that makes me a happy
camper. Thank you for your time and effort.

Hello ALL,
I'm having a serious problem with my CD-ROM Philips CM 205 and
OS/2. On MS DOS 6.2, the CD-ROM works fine. When I'm under OS/2 2.99
(the beta), the CD-ROM doesn't function. The OS/2 drivers that come
with the OS/2 didn't recognize my CD-ROM unit correctly :-( The CD-ROM
light remains blinking all the time ... pplease HELP! :-)
Thanx,

I don't think the microscope puzzle needs to be solved to get to the
end. I couldn't do Stauf's face or the house puzzle so I went to the
book enough times to automatically solve them. The kitchen door never
opened for me. I did find a door in the kitchen that took me to the
basement for a puzzle and a maze....

Hi Jim, I just recently picked up the 70 Million Households Phone book on CD..
from American Business Information.. It's pretty good.. Includes Eastern US on
one CD, and the West on the other CD.. It's the 94 edition.. I've been digging
up old friends from 20-25 years ago.. Pretty interesting.. I MAY sell it soon..
<g>.. There was also the PhoneDisc (93 edition) for sale on here not too long
ago.. I haven't used it, but maybe someone can give you a review..
PS. Your package is on it's way to the post office right after I get off here..
Thanks!

I'm not sure where you're at, but here's how I've cheated out of
tough spots in Critical path. Open the Windows Media Player or the
Apple Quick Time player and open any of the early QTW movies off
your CD. You should recognize if you've seen that scene. Now find
the movie where you're getting killed. The NEXT movie shows what
happens in order to keep KAT from getting killed. Look at that movie
and you should be able to figure out what to do.
Best of luck,

Yes there is and it's called "Best Of Monster 93". It contains
over 600+ megs of some of the best shareware produced during 1993.
It has been dup check, virus checked and support several bbs systems.
One thing I will point out though and that is the fact that the author
conciders the contents of the disk to offer the best of 1993 and that
is his feeling, it may not be yours !
Hope this helps...

You have to find a switch that is located in one hut facing the stairs.
I can't remember the path but it is on a post in a doorway facing the
stairs. When you find it flip it and you will see a gate to the stairs
open.

A little silly to sell it and not make any money on it, at least
from a vendors point of view. In your above example 4 * $150 + $125 for
a specialised case, + controller + cable.
I think you are confusing this with the ads for old technology, or
single speed drives, ar refurbed drives or all of the above.

No, the cable that you have to modify (the itty-bitty (or in BBS speak --
EDBD) audio cable) only transmits Audio CD audio. All other information,
including the audio contained on games, Windows videos, etc. Is carried on
the digital connection, (the big ribbon cable connecting the CD-ROM to the
sound blaster), which you will not be touching and which (I assume) was
working.

Here's something better. When the Title Screen appears, use the joystick:
UP fire, DOWN fire, LEFT fire, RIGHT fire.
You'll hear a voice say Lucas Arts. For now on, press + and you'll get back

I have found the PC-SIG 13th edition shareware CD to be one of the best.
PC-SIG is the main authority on shareware and has been around 10+ years.
They actually test and virus scan ALL their programs to make sure
they actually work and are as bug free as possible. Is's not one of
those fly by night CD makers, that just pop the newest program on CD's
and start selling it.
You can call the "original" shareware dealers PC-SIG at 1800-245-6717.

It's likely that BOTH of you are correct! The Hobbes CD you (and I) have,
Kevin, has the SP for the 2.1 GA version. I'm guessing, but I think the
earlier conversation you quoted from is about the 2.1 SE version, that being
OS/2 For Windows. The timing seems about right. The two versions are NOT
interchangeable, nor are the Service Packs. Much care has to be taken to
prevent mix-ups.

I may have been misled but I had assumed that not many people
were interested in cd's that were copied from existing discs
with a high percentage of the same files. Probably 1 out of 3
people who have ordered my disc asked if it had a lot of the
same files that were on another leading disc. What selling
points are important to you... please list them all.

I suppose I don't understand how anyone could know that a

see how you could already have the files that are on Cream 4 to
check them.
BN> You don't think you could have illegal files on it,
If I were to bet I would bet that there were some programs on it
that shouldn't be. No matter how much effort that is invested
there could easily have been mistakes made. A programmer could
incorporate a Disney image that did not show until you reached
level 50 of his game and I may never reach level 3. There comes
a point of diminishing return because I could inspect the disc
for 3 years and when it was finally released no one would want
it.
BN> less than 80 days old? If that's what you believe, then I'd
BN> like to show you how wrong you could be?
Please don't ! I'm sure there are mistakes on all my discs.
My point is that I don't know how anyone could find them until
after they had the files. If someone already had all these
files then they should be pressing the disc and sharing them
with the rest of us. Finding mistakes after the disc is pressed
is like locking the barn after the mule got out.

Hmmm.. I'm not sure what you mean by 3-in-1 but the interface card I'm
using to chain that two 562B is capable of hooking up with a Sony, Mitsumi or
Panasonic cdrom drives, so it has three different set of pins on the card
itself.

Hi Chris, I have the above cdrom. Its been installed for a little over a

jacklegged an ext amp to get the sound I want, but still looking for a

Thanks for the hints Jimmy. Got past the rotten tomato part and
got the cup of swamp ooze. Also brought the slave girl (Beauty)
to the beast and got her clothes and the beast's mirror.
I suppose what I'm suppose to do now is make some magic potions.
However, I don't have all the necessary ingredients to complete
even a single one. I'm missing River Styx water (wherever THAT
is) for the paint. Also, salt water (not from the sea) AND the
so-called teapot for the rain potion (which, I'm pretty sure I
need in order to get back onto the Isle of Mist without getting
fried). And, last but not least, hot oak embers (which are
probably on the Isle of Mist, right?) and the sulphur for the
potion to charm the Creature of the Night.
I presume that, as things develop, the Isle of Death will appear
on my map at some point? I don't have it yet. I've "stolen"
some pretty good hints (from other messages) about what to do
when I get there, but.... I have to GET there first! :)
I see the old lamp trader finally showed up again but I'm
completely in the dark as to which "new" lamp to choose. But,
that's OK..... half the fun is making mistakes and restoring....
Yeah, right! [g]
You mentioned a walkthru. I have a walkthru on the CD but it
ends right at the beginning (before Alexander even leaves the
Isle of the Crown for the first time). Is there another one
on the CD that I don't know about?

To have the girl follow you, give her another white rose from the

There should be a switch at one of the tree huts on the same level

a door lifting up, I think that is the door next to the stairs. Hope I

>Heavy music needs. I can get a PAS 16 for 99.00 Sound Blaster 16 for

>If so which is better. Will one hook up to a CD Rom better than

>purposes. I can get one for 147.00. How much of an improvement
I ended up buying a kit (Media Vision MV1000) with both soundcard and cdrom
included. What's nice about the kits is that all cables are included.
Depending on the number of games that are included, you can pay as low as
(US)$247 (probably lower via mail order) to as high as your pocket can
afford.
Keep in mind that Media Vision declared Bankruptcy under Chapter 11
(reorganization) this last week. OTOH, even tho I knew they were having
financial problems, I bought their MV1000 kit. It included their PAS16
soundcard and a Sanyo doublespeed, caddyless, CDRom, a couple of poor
speakers, and one game, the 7th Guest. The installation was easy and I was
up and running in no time. The speakers are worthless, so I bought a pair
of nicer speakers to go with the kit.

Your right about the puzzle, i was talking about the telescope. I
found that their is no definite way to solve the microscope puzzle.
You have to go back to the Library three different times to find hints,
then the puzzle solves itself. There is a book pf hints in the Library.
To get to the Library from the Laboratory you have to go through a
secret passage because the lab door is locked- the barred gate to the
left of the microscope. Wierd huh? Gregg

I have a Panasonic 562 on an older SB Pro card with no problems, there is a
minor electronic difference in the Creative 563 drive the intrenal ROM
identifies the drive and some of the later SB drivers are designed only to work
with the Creative CDROM.
You need an earlier version of the SB driver or the Panasonic CDMKE41 (or other

Hi all,
Two main things I need some help on.
Firstly, I have 2 Double Speed and 2 Single Speed CDrom drives running on my
BBS, however they always seem to jam - I am using a Data Technology Corporation
SCSI controller card, running under Qemm/Desqview.
Could it be an incompatibility problem, and also I am having memory problems
(only getting 433K in DV window). Could MSCDEX be insufficient to handle this
number of drives?
The second thing is I was looking at purchasing a multi-cd player (the ones
where you put 6 CDs into the drive, and the CD is played as needed). Any
ideas/tips for this type of drive?
Thanks and Regards
Chris

I'm not an expert on this. But have you loaded mscdex.exe or the sbcd.sys
drivers into memory?
Not sure about sbcd.sys as my cd-rom is a creative Matsushita.
Right if that's okay you might be running you cd-rom player at double-speed
only.
Can you change this to automatically detect?
Or change it so that your cd-rom player uses single speed only.
On Mine I've chosen to automatically detect, it's a lot easier.
Let me know how you get on.

Hmmmm...not seeing your config.sys or autoexec.bat I will take a guess.
Does your mscdex.exe statement show a path to it in another directory
besides DOS? IOW does the statement look something like this in your
autoexec.bat.... LOAD C:\BIN\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000 /E /M:32 . If so then
change the \BIN to \DOS and see if that helps. Usually that message comes
up with an mscdex.exe, which the drive manufacturers stick on their install
disk, that is older than that in the DOS directory.

The sound card is made by Media Vision. To get the drivers for

Great! A couple of questions: 1) Is the size that you can view the
video directly proportional to the processor speed? (i.e. can I watch
it full-screen on a 386?) 2) Is a sound card required to hear the
audio portion? 3) Did you get my address? If not, here it is:

I'm having some extremely frustrating problems with the sound from my CD-ROM. I
have a 2X Panasonic CD-ROM and SB16. When I play a musical CD through windows,
it plays nicely with no problems. The problems come in when I play games:
(1) With one game I have (Goblins 3), the sound keeps cutting off at
critical moments. The character will be saying something important
but you can only hear the first few words, then it cuts off. What the
heck could it be? I don't thing there are any hardware conflicts. I have
a great deal of memory. The box says that a Sound card with DAC is
required. It also says that certain cards might experience DAC sound
cut-off. But I figured SB16 should be compatible with everything. Is
there a solution?
(2) Another game, (King's Quest V), constantly locks up. I've tried
everything, but I can't seem to find a remedy. King's Quest VI,
however, works perfectly. I seems to have most of my problems with
Sierra games. Anyone else find any problems too?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

In my opinion, I think if your friend wants to add a CD ROM, then he should
also consider upgrading his computer. Your friend may find that most graphic
intensive CDs will run slowly on a 386SX 16 MHz machine. I used to have a 386DX
40MHz with a CD ROM drive and it (the 386DX) was pretty slow when it came to
running CDs (especially games, such as Rebel Assault).

For SuperFonts, replace it with Night Owl 12 ($44)
For Illustrated Bible, I still want a bible with pictures in it, i.e.
like KID'S BOOKS, a picture on every page, as this will be for my kids
to have them interested. If you can find an alternative, I'd appreciate
it.
For Timetable of History $49, I've seen LASERBAUD selling "The adventure

I'm using the Sony CDU31A-03 (Double Spin) which is the functional equivalent
of the current CDU33A-01, and have been since OS/2 2.0. The drivers are fine
and I have had absolutely no problems with it under OS/2 or dos. It is of
course fully accessible by DOS WIN-OS/2 and OS/2 sessions under OS/2.
Panasonic, Mitsumi etc also have drivers and I beleive that they work well.
If you could stretch it I would recommend going for something like the Toshiba
3401 or the new 4101 (??) which is a great buy for a SCSI device of its
pedigree.
Anyway stay away from things like the Wearnes and other unknown oem'ed cheapies
as drivers will be non-existent.

7th guest is a serious challenging game that will keep you busy for hours! On a
single speed IS a little choppy at single-speed (I know the difference because
I recently upgraded to doub-speed a little while ago while I still had 7th
Guest). I would encourage you to go for it, It'll be fine, it's not SO slow
that it will take a year to play or anything just choppy.

It is a good drive, but an older one. I'm sure later drives from Mitsumi
having 320ms and 64k would better handle video/Kokak, etc. but overall it works
well. It will get dusty and cause read errors after time because of the cd
door, buy a can of air for later use. You may want to check out Chinon 535
model, it is the best for price and perforance. -----Bill

Are you suing the cd's driver s/w, too? MSCDEX from ms/dos is now 2.23, but
2.21 should have worked. Also, to help you better set it up try the F8 function
key after seeing "Starting MS/DOS" to better see any errors. good luck

Charlie, maybe I don't understand, but isn't the speed set by the reader
and not the writer? If you record in Quad speed, don't you just save time
while if I read at Double speed things may just go a little slower? By the
same token, shouldn't a single speed drive be able to read a disc recorded
at any other speed? I didn't know record speed mattered.

Hi there..if your Myst is ver 1.01, I'd like to get it..
Ver 1.0 won't run on a Mitsumi cd drive, so they released ver 1.01 for the
Mitsumi and the Phillips drives..I think if you open the help menu, there is a
menu item that will tell you the ver #..
Would you take $30.00 (including shipping)) ??

The Sound blaster compatibility has nothing to do with it, it's just the
game, I work in a software store and EVERY single copy of Megarace has had
that clicking sound. (I'm running SB16 MCD and AWE 32's) The same thing
happens with UFO, Enemy unknown. UFO has a bugfix but I dont know of one for
Megarace.

Try removing Iron Helix and see if you still have the problem. If you still

Read: [N/A] Private: No
-=> Quoting Carl Benson to Eric Jan <=-
CB> Is Outpost a good purchase?
Ecch. No, not in its present form. It looks pretty, and seems to have a
lot of potential, but it has some MAJOR problems.
1) The documentation is EXTREMELY lousy, and the "official guide" you can
get in book stores isn't much better. You need some of the charts and
tables, but it isn't very helpful when it comes to how to actually play.
For example, neither book says that most structures must be connected
by air tubes, and cannot be connected directly.
2) There are a few features described in the docs which haven't been
implemented, stuff that would be really helpful. Like roads and
monorails.
3) The user interface is clunky at best. Although Outpost runs under
windows, it uses its own screwy system for windows and menus, plays
wierd games with your system colors, can't be resized, etc. Also,
there is too much info that you really have to dig too hard for.
Sierra plans to release an "expansion" in a few months that will be sent
out free to registered users, and I assume included in future releases.
It will probably implement roads, plagues, etc., might include better docs,
and probably NOT do anything about the interface. I'd suggest wait until
Sierra releases the expansion/fix, and then ask around to see if it's worth
the trouble.

No dupes with previous versions although there are files from Feb,

Yes... and I'm still offering it as a promotion to the Cream of

If you get Cream 2 and use the Mx_cream automatic installation
program there are 2 problems that you will have to manually
correct in you Filearea.ctl. The area for the Text Editing
files should be Editor and not Edit... so just add "or" to the
path to the files in that area. Second the Business descriptions
will get appended to the BBS listings. You need to create a new
file area to set up the Business listings and cut the
description file that contains the BBS listings... saving the
last part for the Business listings....or simply copy the
files.bbs from the business directory to the name you specified
in Filearea.ctl for the business files.
Sorry for those bugs... but I think I finally got it right for Cream 4.

There are no known dupes between any of the Cream of the Crop
cd's. Cream 4 does cover 3 months of the same time period as
Cream 3 but that is only because it is not possible to gather
these new programs immediately after they are released. As you

a lot of effort and expense into distributing their work and
their upgrades. Most of the utilities I have written are never

There are probably many marketing things I need to do to build
consumer confidence but I hope everyone will be happy with my
"satisfaction guaranteed or your money back" policy. The only 2
returned disc I have had out of the thousands sold from all
versions were 2 Cream 3's which did not work on someone's
Mitsumi drives.... and they would have never given them up if
they could have used them. I suspect those two drives needed
some alignments.
I have made the file listings and their descriptions available
for file request... but remember that I supply multi-line
descriptions for every archive and that makes the master list
219k. Just freq Cream4.zip from 3625/441 ...I run a Zoom 28.8

Francois,
First, I wish to tell you that I am not an expert at the legality
of renting software in Canada but I can tell you what I have learned
from the computer stores in my area of Canada.
Before NAFTA, it was legal to rent disks and CDs. When NAFTA was

Hi Bob!
I beg to differ - the shareware is actually a plus. The idea comes from
the
fact that there are lots of BBS sysops with only a single CD-player, but there
are few discs that cater to both the shareware-loving and adult-file-loving

Although this is not CDROM related, I will just post this one reply. Be
very careful trying to make a computer go faster than it should. Reason, you
can sometimes push the speed faster than the ram chips or the cpu can work
accurately. Common item would be you start to get right errors on files
written to your hard drive. Just keep in mind that as files are written to
you hd so is the FAT and partition info. If you speed your cpu up too much,
you could blow the FAT. I have seen this happen before!

Hi Daniel. The easiest way to do what you are asking is
1) Does the interface card you bought for the CD drive
have RCA outputs on it? If it does, you can buy a cable
at any store that goes from two RCA jacks (Left and right)
to a stereo mini plug. Your sound card will have a line
input. Just plug it in and play CD's all you want.
2) The other option is more complicated. I work for a
computer store and we do this fairly often. There are
special cables made that will adapt just about any cd
drive sound output to just about any sound card. You have
to be careful though and make sure it is wired correctly.
To do this, you will have to know how the plug on the
sound card is wired, then know how the plug on the CD
drive is wired. We rewire the plugs on the cord all the
time. It is pretty simple once you know what pin does
what. The cables usually run about $10.00. If it isn't
worth all that, use option 1.
Good luck
Cheers

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Here are a few of the CD-ROM's that I know of as being widely popular:
-The Seventh Guest- great 3d movement, puzzle game. It starts out
as a mystery. You solve each puzzle and then see a video
sequence that creates a great story. THE BEST CD-ROM EVER
-King's Quest 6- classic Sierra game, in my opinion the best of the
Sierra-Quest (police, king's, space) games. Uses hours of
recorded voice so you don't have to read.
-Outpoust- Simulation game where you set up mankinds future in
space. 3d graphics, and lots of control options.
-Gabriel Knight- another Sierra game, uses actors (Mark Hammel, and
the guy who play's Worf on Star Trek) Chilling horror plot.
-Return to Zork- RPG game, great graphics, a classic CD-ROM
-Myst- sometimes slow, but the graphics are worth it. Fairly new
but already on the all-time best list, right up there with the
Secenth Guest.
-Iron Helix- don't buy this, stupid, expensive, and easy.
-Megarace- cool fast graphical racing game. You race for your life
in this game. Great if you wan't a game that you can play over
and over.
That's all I could think of for now, if your new to CD-ROM and you like
a challenge get The Seventh Guest and Myst. Be looking for the Eleventh
Hour (T7G sequal) and Under a Killing Moon to be coming out in the next
couple of months.

Others may disagree, but, I have found that good full motion video is

The Mitsumi drive is supposed to be a little bit faster than the Panasonic
drive. I chose the panasonic drive for two reasons. 1- I have a
SoundBlaster Pro that will only take a panasonic drive, (I could have used
the interface card with the Mitsumi drive but didn't want to take up the
slot for it) 2-The Mitsumi has an annoying sound to it. You hear the
servo motor positioning the laser over the disk. It's kind of a little
zipping sound when it moves. My machine at work has a mitsumi in it and
it drives me crazy listening to it all day. The Panasonic is quiet! and
plenty fast. Don't get me wrong. The mitsumi is a good drive if you don't
mind the points I mentioned.

I'm not sure what version I have, but it came with Dos 6.2. Have you
used the MSCDEX that came with your dos version? Also, make sure that
the driver for the cd is loading in the config.sys successfully. You
should see the information on the screen then the drive light should
light up while the driver accesses the drive to make sure it's there.

You asked, so, here's my opinion. Any of the sound cards will certainly
do a good job. If memory serves, the SB16 will only take a Panasonic CD
drive. There is a multi-cd version that will take either a Panasonic, a
Mitsumi, or a Sony. One thing you may want to consider is a wavetable
upgrade option. The SB wave upgrade is expensive and only available on
certain models. I don't think the PAS16 has a wavetable upgrade. I think
the Logitech has one, but I'm not sure. What is wavetable? I'm glad you
asked. Most sound cards have a FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesizer
built onto them. From a fm synth you get cheesy thin sounds-especially
the drum sounds. Wavetable is a digitally sampled waveform that
faithfully reproduces the actual sound of the instrument instead of a
cheesy simulation of it. While it may not seem important now, it is always
best to keep your options as open as you can. The 2X cd drive is a great
value right now. They are great performers and at a good price now. There
are differences between the drives, but, they boil down to personal
preference mostly. There are slight performance diferences, but, in my
opinion they are basically equals. Hope this helped.

Actually, it is in the Registered Letter I sent. That's why it's
registered. I was waiting for your reply to my letter that said I had the
cheque. So, when I received the letter, I just put the extra $2 in it and
sent it by registered mail. As you know, it's a bit slower but is
guaranteed to get there. I haven't heard anything yet but we had a two-day
holiday at the end of last week. That would slow things down a bit. Don't
worry, I will let you know when it arrives!
You seem to have more experience with CD-ROMs than I do. What other ones
would you recommend? I'm looking for Myst without much luck. If that store
has it, you can call me collect to say it's there. Please let me know which
ones have great graphics and content.
Now, Jim, it's already quite late. I will be talking to you soon. Hope that
the letter doesn't take too long to get to you. Thanks again for trusting
me to deal fairly from this far away.

I don't know where your getting your prices at, but we currently sell
the 602X for $749, the 604X at $995 and the 1804X at $1895. That's a
far cry from $2500. or even $2100.
So, if you take $139. x 6 you wind up with $825. that's a savings of
$76. on a 602x. If you compair the 1804X and take 18 x $139. that
would give you $2502. and we currently sell it for $1895., that's a
savings of $607. Now you also have to take into concideration the cost
of shipping 6 or 18 drives at one time verses the cost of shipping one
Pioneer unit. The other point, which you seem to have over looked is
the prices you quoted above are for propritary units and not scsi's.
These unit will mack's out to only 4 per controller and not 6. Now,
change the figures to a scsi double spin and the savings are even
greater with the 6 pack's verse the single unit systems.
Even though Pioneer has proven to be a very reliable unit, I will agree,
if it breaks you loss the system. But for the most part, most sysops
upgrade thier systems before that does happen.
As for thier out look toward the sysop's, the Pioneer system wasn't
designed strickly for them. The systems are designed for business
rather than the BBS sysops and they needed to upgrade the changers to
the current market requirments. If thier prime business was sysops, they'd
still have the 600's available, but they don't. So, looking from that
end, they are the cheapest and only game in town that can offer a high
quality product at a resonable price.
It's like everything else in this world, when an employee wants more
money, they tack it on to the cost of the product and this maybe the
reason for the increase, I don't know ! But in any event, no matter
how you stack it, even with the increase around the corner, Pioneer will
still offers the end user the lowest investment cost with the least amount
of effort.
Hope this clears things up a bit.....Have A Nice Day !!

Hi All.
I have been playing the CD game Dracula Unleashed and am stumped on day
two and keep dying. It appears there are two or three main things you
need to do on each of the days. Well on day two I must be missing at
least one of these.
If anyone has completed the game or past this point in it, could you
drop me a note on the main steps for day two. (and times)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Phil ;-)

Hi,
a while ago I asked for help with Critical Path and since then the BBS I am
using lost all it's message base so if anyone replied, I have lost your reply.
So I'll ask away again and hope someone can help....
I am experiencing video problems when playing the game. When the video is
playing and I first move the mouse, a small area of the video is displayed at
the lower left side of the screen and
periodically updates tto the current display when the mouse is moved.
The tech.wri says to modify the qtw.ini [video]optimize=hardware to
optimize=device. This doesn't make any difference. It also says that critical
path is known to conflict with IRON HELIX which I also have. It fails to
mention what to do so if anyone knows please let me know.
Thanks

On 13 July David Lott asked about the sunken boat in the birdbath and wondered
whether it had something to do with the constellations.
Little did he think that a reply would come from Australia.
It does have something to do with the constellations which are the symbols on
the poles which make a haunting noise as you cursor over them. Notice that
they change from red to green. To find out which ones are which colour
(Australian English spelling) you have to do some research in the library and
then go to the planetarium (which worried me at first as it reminded me of a
dentist's chair). A planetarium is not much use in the daytime so turn the
lights out. Use your research to observe the stars at the right time. Then
back to the poles.
Let me know how you get on!
Best wishes,
Peter.

there is a trick to it but I can't explain it. there is a pattern to it,

A little silly to sell it and not make any money on it, at least
from a vendors point of view. In your above example 4 * $150 + $125 for
a specialised case, + controller + cable.
I think you are confusing this with the ads for old technology, or

I'm not sure where you're at, but here's how I've cheated out of
tough spots in Critical path. Open the Windows Media Player or the
Apple Quick Time player and open any of the early QTW movies off
your CD. You should recognize if you've seen that scene. Now find
the movie where you're getting killed. The NEXT movie shows what
happens in order to keep KAT from getting killed. Look at that movie
and you should be able to figure out what to do.
Best of luck,

Yes there is and it's called "Best Of Monster 93". It contains
over 600+ megs of some of the best shareware produced during 1993.
It has been dup check, virus checked and support several bbs systems.
One thing I will point out though and that is the fact that the author
conciders the contents of the disk to offer the best of 1993 and that
is his feeling, it may not be yours !
Hope this helps...

You have to find a switch that is located in one hut facing the stairs.
I can't remember the path but it is on a post in a doorway facing the
stairs. When you find it flip it and you will see a gate to the stairs
open.

Well, yes, I am getting the information on the screen - Device driver for

I'm going to try another MSCDEX just in case, but I think I have reached the

conflict. The next step may be to open up the beast and see what happens when
I switch things around. Sounds haphazard, but with lots of reading and nice

Fourth, when using the UG Lab, what are the best items to study?
Should computer science be studied asap to build hot labs? Also,
what do the hot labs do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Subj: Custom CD for You! Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Sharron,
Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you on a custom cd.
We make custom cd's for personal and business use. Our disc's once burned,
can be used right away or can be used to make the MASTERING disc for mass
duplication were it goes through a pressing process. We simply take your raw
data, prepare it for placement on a cd and then burn the cd for you. It get's
burned on a "Write Once" cd but, the CD can have multiple sessions burned on
it till it is filled to capacity. For example, say you only have 250megs of
data right now. We can burn that to a cd and then in the future when you have
another 250 meg's or so, we can burn that to the same cd and so on.
The only requirement is that you MUST have a multi session cd which is
usually the case nowaday's.
Alot of our customers are bbs users and sysops who have gained alot of
software and simply want it put onto a cd instead of filling up their hard
drive or using a tape backup to hold the information. As you know, tape
drives loose the data with time and take awhile to backup and restore.
Depending on which CD rom drive you have, we can burn it at single speed,
double speed or 4x(Quadruple) speed. Simply let us know what your drive
supports.
At the moment we are having a summer cd special for $42.50 + shipping. Offer
is good till Aug 15th or while supplies last.
If you need anymore information, please feel free to contact me via fido at
114/61, or call 602-842-9240.
Thanks
Charlie

In most cases, the software manufacture allows you to make a backup copy. Check
your manual to see if this is the case. Also I will need a copy of your
registration or reciept.

If you have a multi session cd I can write to it more than once.
Also let me know if your CD Drive is single speed, double speed or 4x
(quadruple) speed and I will burn it accordingly.

$20.00 plus shipping.

That will work just fine.

Re: Re: Writable cd rom
Actually there ARE CD-ROM drives that WRITE, yes they still call them ROM's
because the idea of the disk being a permanent NON-changeable media is meant
for the OTHER guy, but the truth is you can re-write them many times... Many
companies offer these drives for about $3000-4000 and most include some form
of software, however the REAL good mastering soft. will set you back another
1000... Now I am NOT talking about MO drives, this is a CD-ROM that writes
Data/ Audio and Mutimedia disks, once or many times... They have 4X drives
available as well but the BLANKS are a little more expensive since they are
higher quality...

Yes, there are some "Best Of..." CDs, but there are a couple other
ideas for you as well. Any of the Association of Shareware Professionals
CDs have at least decent quality programs on them. Even though i am not
an ASP member, i have conversed with them and have received info from
them. They have certain criteria which programs must meet. Some of those
criteria i personally disagree with, but they are a good organization

Another company worth noting is Wayzata. They are generally more geared
towards business, education, and science based software. Of all the CD
manufacturers/distributors i send my program to, they are the only one
who has sent me an inquiry asking if i have a new version out. That tells
me they are truely interested in the latest software.

Thanks, Duc. You're right about the stick - it doesn't get
picked up. It's just there to argue with his brother (the bump
on the log) so he'll throw the swamp ooze where you can reach
it. I've gotten past both those parts - now, I've reached a
dead-end again. I don't know if I've reached the point where I
have to start making some magic potions or not. I'm still
missing some stuff namely River Styx water for the paint, the
teapot and salt water for the rain and the hot oak embers and
sulphur for the Creature of the Night. I've also been reading
some messages about the Isle of Death but it has yet to appear
on my map. Now, I just keep wandering around from isle to isle
hoping that something new will show up, but...... nothing's been
happening. I keep thinking maybe I picked the wrong lamp from
the lamp seller and that's why nothing is happening. Is that
possible? Any little hints you can provide will be greatly
appreciated.

I have a single spin Sony CDU31A on a 396-40mhz with 5 megs of ram
interfaced by SB 16. It performs well in all respects except when reading
large GIFs 500k to 700k.
At the beginning of such a session, it reads the gifs slowly, pausing
frequently. At some point, usually within the first five minutes, it
freezes and displays the following message "FILE READ/WRITE ERROR- DRIVE
MAY BE OPEN OR DISK UNFORMATTED".
The computer is not locked, as it can quit the application and resume
any other task including reading other CD roms. But if I return to the
original gif disk, the reader refuses to function.
Can anyone offer a solution..... other than buy a faster reader.

If you have the water started from the windmill, divert the water to the

you flick the lever (UP? or DOWN? - try both).

I'm using a VESA local-bus SCSI controller in my file-server. If memory
serves, its a BusLogic 545S. This was my first SCSI card ever, so I can't
tell you if it *seems* faster than an ISA-type. The combo though (it's
running a 1.2 gig Micropolis) HAULS!!!! Apparently, it supports a 10Mbps
throughput rate, but since it's running as a Netware server, I really can't
run any DOS stuff on it to compare it to the IDEs I use with ISA cards. Would
be fun to down the server sometime and try it, though. "Seat of the pants"
measurements place it at around 2 or 3 times as fast as the IDEs, though, if
that helps.
There are probably others around running the same combo in DOS boxes, so they
can hopefully provide black and white throughput comparisons. I, for one,
would love to see how fast the combo really is...
As for SCSI-2, I'm afraid I'm even LESS helpful on it, if that's possible. <g>
The BusLogic 545S is a SCSI-2 card. One thing this entails is the external
port is not the typical SCSI Centronics (which looks like the printer end of a
printer cable), but is much smaller and the cable is much more expensive.
Also, SCSI2 is a superset of SCSI, but I don't know just which things are
different in the specification.......

Definitely impressive drives! Was seriously looking at them recently as an
alternative to the Pioneer DRM1804x, which has the same seek time and transfer
rate, but no buffer. I went with the Pioneer because of the very attractive
platter/dollar ratio and the Optisys software, which makes the whole jukebox
appear as a single drive letter. A huge advantage with a bunch of Plextors,
though, would be contention would become a non-issue. Even with the tricks
the Optisys software pulls, contention is a major pain here. Though the
Pioneer can hold 18 disks, it can only read them *one at a time*, which makes
for some very long waits when 5 users want to download files from 5 different
disks at the same time....

RK>Thanks for the tip. (Sorry about your misfortunes.)
To their credit, I finally was able to get a complete refund for the
overcharges, mis-charges, and duplicate charges. It did come after
considerable telephone expense and a number of letters though. They may
have made it all straight eventually, but after 3 months I was
getting very tired of their excuses. It took letters to the magazines they
advertise in, to the credit card company, and to them telling them about
what I was doing, to get them to straighten it out in the three month time
frame. I can't say if others have had the same problems or if they were
not influenced by my actions and would have wrapped it up in that time
frame anyway. I do know that had I not been willing to put up a fight, I
would have been out about $75 or so in charges. The first person I talked
with tried to tell me that there were absolutely no returns of any
merchandise (including defective). This was before the other packages
arrived with the inflated shipping charges, etc.
These people need to realize that part of what they sell is service. To
totally louse up an order, overcharge, neglect to ship, etc., until a
customer has to scream bloody murder is a quick way to loose business -
especially in these days of intercontinental ballistic messages. To them
we are just an order number, but to us, that order is eagerly anticipated
and important. To feel ripped off is a real bummer. I'll always pay a
higher price if I am sure that I will be treated fairly and my order
shipped with care and promptly - with service after the sale if need be
(i.e. replacing defective items).
RK>Could you tell me what types of products this company sells? I don't

Free Spirit sells CD-ROM software, jewel boxes, drives, etc. I think they

They keep sending me their newspaper-like ad flyers but I will never,

I saw it in an ad in the August issue of Computer Shopper. I didn't recognize
the company off hand (I read the Shopper a lot so thats not reassuring) If you
are looking to buy, you may want to check out Insight. They have it for $475.
I've done business with quite a few companies (I make a point of it) and I can
honestly say that they are the best I have come across. The extra $6 dollars
not only buys you great service and piece of mind, it also gets you 1-800 tech
support for installing the product. I bought my double speed from them a while
back and when there was driver conflict (the PAS had an old mscdex), they
helped my out quickly and courtesiously over their 1-800 at 4 AM!! There aren't
too many other peripherials companies that you can say that about!

Conan The Cimmerian seems to be a little critical on the systems
it's being used on. I don't know what the critical part is, so
I can't give you any hints. On my own systems it runs fine, so
I didn't need to solve any problems.
Bye,
Martin.

Jack,
I have had Myst for a while now and I still have no intentions of
getting rid of it. In my opinion it is AMAZING. What it's like is a game
based entirely on moving around different worlds solving puzzles. The puzzles
themselves are technical wonders. You will see stuff you have never seen
before. Once you get into the game, you feel as if you are actually there, as
the graphics and sound act together perfectly to give an amazing atmosphere.
Myst, though, has no action whatsoever.
I find that Myst is the only game of it's kind that I have seen. I give It a
10 out of 10!
Dan.

Now there's an idea. And to have access to it, you would have to prove to the
sysop that you are 18 or older. A really good idea. Now, how does one go about
starting up another fido net echo??? Maybe if we write to the Moderator, he
could direct us to someone with athority. As far as I'm concerned, those
messages just fill up precious, expensive phone time. Even when I use my fast
modem.
Sorry, I didn't respond over Internet, don't know if my sysop's internet sender
is up and running. Oh well, I hope net mail is OK.
See Ya.

I bought this same issue, and the wrapping was questionable, a thin cardboard
shrinkwrapped. But it worked fine. Bought mine at Shopko. But then again,
when I got my Mega Demo2 free from Mr. Huffman, it was only in an envelope,
then in the larger envelpoe which the stamp was on. That worked fine too.
Oh well.

No magic in that. I called Mitsumi and told them my system config.
I am using a SCSI 3 (wide /fast) control card for my HD. The tech
mention that there may be a address conflict. So I gave it a try
and changed to 360.
I am using MTMCDAS.SYS in my CONFIG.SYS. The command line looks
like:
DEVICE=C:\DEV\MTMCDAS.SYS /P:360 /A:0
The /P:360 is the address and the /A:0 is for stereo.
This command line eliminates needing IRQ, and DMA address. So far
it seems to be working 100%.

NAFTA stands for the North American Free Trade Agreement. Also, some CD's
can be installed (all files) onto your hard drive such as Maddog McCree.
Of course, if you've got 100+ megs of space! Titles such as Compton's
Interactive Encycl. would take over 600+ megs of space. Large titles on
CD's would make sense because I don't know of very many people who have
that much space on their hard drive to copy the latest CD's.

JR> What cd rom drives are the best to buy right now? Is it an NEC dri
Sorry, John. Guess we all expected someone else to pipe up.
Best for what? Personal use? Get a 2x or faster. While I like the
NECs _a_lot_, I _hate_ caddys, so won't consider any that require caddys.
I also am committed to SCSI, which really limits selection. A _lot_ of 3x
drives (specially NEC) are being sold now, but sales of 4x drives is
increasing. I'd suggest waiting, if you can, for that area to "shake out"
and prices to come down.
On the other hand, if you intend to bring up a BBS, then go with a
single speed drive. It will easily be able to access and transfer the data
fast enough to keep most (even the new V-Fast) modems chuggin' along.
_Lots_ of sysops are going with the Pioneer multi-disc players for their
BBSes so that the discs are on-line.
JR>Sony? Pioneer? The price range I am looking at is about $300-$400. I
Sonys are excellent. As are Pioneers. So are Plextors Especially
attractive are Pioneer's 6- and 18-disc players. However, access time is a
serious factor. How patient are you? How willing are you to pay extra
money just to have a second, third, etc. disc available within about 10
seconds?
JR>486 DX2/66 with a Pro Audio Spectrum 16 sound card, 7 8 megs of ram. S
JR>please help me!!! And please if you are a cdrom salesman, state so and
JR>be impartial. Thanx.....
Not familiar with all the drives this board will run, but I believe you
get the best of both worlds; some IDE drives, or SCSI. If you've gotta
have a CD drive now, consider what your primary use will be. If 2x will
suffice, the prices are now about where the inexpensive single-spins were
just about six months ago! Before Christmas, and late next winter the
prices of many of the 3x and 4x drives should drop considerably.
Whatever you go with, enjoy!
Good Day!

I am not trying to play devil's advocate, nor degrade your warning about
unsruplous ?dealers?. But the above quoted comment really bumped me funny
bone. Just what would you expect the credit-card company to say? <G>
I have been in cumputer systems business for over 10 years, and I dropped
credit card ?support? after only one year. For two reasons - 1) the ?sevice?
provided isn't worth the cost to me (and it has tripled since). 2) I
consider the intersest charge to the consumer to be inordinately high. I do
most of my trade locally and enjoy local bank financing for our clients at
much more reasonable rates.
Just a couple cents dropped in here...

Hello Lucas, The system requirments as printed on the box are:
386SX IBM Compatible, One 16 Bit slot, VGA card with feuture connector, DOS 3.1
or higher, Windows 3.1 or higher. As far as the audio is concerned the answer
is no, you don't need a sound card to listen to the stereo TV or Video sound.
The card has a standard mini-plug that you can connect to an amplifier or
speakers or headphones etc. I send you the catalog allready. If you didn't get
it yet it must have been lost in the mail :-( I'll send you another one today.
Hope this information helps. Take care....

They do exist...but they cost in the realm of $20,000-25,000..that's the main
reason you don't see them being sold everywhere; the second is, that they are
not as reliable as you would want them to be..big business won't buy an

Thanks Bill, I'll give your suggestion a try. However, If I do this, how
does MSCDEX get a different designator for each drive? The DOS 6.2 help
file tells me the parameters for MSCDEX and 2 CD-ROM drives, but I need
to get the 2 designators from 1 incarnation of CDMKE.sys don't I?

Right, I've followed your instructions. I have set n:2 in CDMKE.sys and

are set at 0 and 1 on the 562b's. MSCDEX assigns D: and E: to the two

Hi All , How are you today
I have a small problem that I hope someone can help with.
I have a Philips Cd rom Player model CM50 which is an external unit.
I have also a sound blaster delux installed in my 386sx.
The rom drive has a earphone jack which I have (for now) connected to a pair
of amplified shielded stereo speakers.
The problem I am havinfg is that when I run Comptons Encyclopedia and call
up Mozart for example and click on the sound track flag,all I get is some guy
rattling of a set of words instead of it playing an actual piece from Mozart.
What confuses me is that the rom drive plays audio cds fine!
Has anyone got one of these drives or can someone suggest a possible cause
for this problem?
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to find the teapot in the garden on the Isle of Wonder (it
appears after completing certain tasks). Make sure you get the lump of coal
from the Isle of Mists (don't crash the ceremony, though!) and the scythe too.
Oak embers and sulphur will show up later.

There's a scene where you'll see the genie talking to the Vizier. This is
after he thinks you've committed suicide. If you haven't seen this, you got
the lamp too early. Anyway, this scene will show you the genie's real
lamp...you'll need to get one that looks just like it.

Those two pieces of information say almost nothing about a drive. The only

If it's the one I think it is (could be wrong), the SCSI
part of that card is Trantor. For just a CDrom SCSI
driver you can get it from Media Vision's BBS
1-510-770-0968 or 1-510-770-0527. If you really want
to run more devices off that card I wouldn't recommend
using it for anything other than CDrom drives because
it really can't handle the throughput. If you do
want multiple devices, there's a program called
SCSI Works that has the drivers for that card. Your
friend should have got a flier for that with his
kit if it's anything like the earlier kits.

There's only been one service pack for OS/2 2.1 GA to raise it to
OS/2 2.11 GA. However there has also been one Service pack to
raise OS/2 2.1 SE for Windows. The one for the GA version is

So I sez:
Jerry,
Are you running Goblins Quest 3 through Windows? I have the game and found
that it runs fine in DOS, but in Windows I had problems. I setup EMM386.SYS
device driver in CONFIG.SYS to use 2 meg as Expanded memory. Some of my DOS
programs want this setup. There is a Readme file on the GQ3 disk, have you
looked at it? I don't have a SoundBlaster 16 card, I have a MediaVision, SB16
clone, but I did have problems in the beginning with the setup of the card.
You might check out the setup of your sound card (I redid this in DOS and some
from Windows, I redid the drivers and some other settings there.). These are
my boot files:
----------------------------------

DEVICE=C:\JAZZ\DD260.SYS /D:SONY001 /F:1
DEVICEHIGH /L:3,5088 =C:\JAZZ\JAZZ.SYS P220 I5 D1 E5
----------------------------------
I used MEMMAKER to free up all the conventional memory I could... and it just
makes it. The program requires 583k to run. I wish they would fix this in CD
programs. You have to juggle a lot to make it work. It took me the better
part of a day to get the program to function correctly. I also wish they
would make it run in Windows easily. I couldn't use SMARTDRV because I would
loose to much convention memory. Of course your CD and sound card setup will
be different than mine.
Hope this helps ya...

That puzzle is a confusing one. I don't think I can realy type the

turn a swith somewhere on the 2nd level to open the door next to the stair
way. I also remember using the water pipes to make a machine work but you

That's true. But be ready to eat up some serious hard drive space with
the program. If you want all the bells and whistles from the program,
it will take over 30 megs of space on your hard drive. I have the Plan-

it still took up a great amount of space (I'll go and look to see the
exact amount if you need).

I'm sorry, but running around the house and into the library to consult
"The Book" is a little on the lame side. If it had audio attached to it,
the book, after three consultations, would probably say, "Who is it?
What...you again? Aw, for crying out loud--here, I'll GIVE you the &^#@
solution! Now get outta here before I ..."
There's no time limit imposed on the game (is there?), and who's looking
over your shoulder saying, "Come on, will ya? Move that bishop there and
that one there!" If I ever run into a "back-seat player" I exit the game
and go watch People's Court.
What's wrong with a little healthy head-scratching once in a while (if
I've paid a small fortune for this CD-ROM--and the equip to play it on--
you can bet I'm going to pour me a glass of White Zinfandel, put on some
Zubin Mehta, and sit down and figure some of these puzzles out).

Sorry to drop in, but I had to put my 2 cents. Myst can challange the mind.
It also has some of the best graphics (if not the best) out right now. I ran
the game right out of the box for my computer.
I have a 486SX-33, 4 meg; no config needed. Also, 4 Meg ran very good. Myst
has a "quick feature" that allows you to skip ahead a few frames if you have
been there before. This makes it even faster on 4 meg. I have to admit though
when I purchased a windows accellorator (sorry for spelling) it really zoomed.
I strongly disagree if anyone needs 8 Meg. If they do, the problem is with
their system resources in Windows and not the great game of Myst.
For what it's worth,
Richard

Cream of the Crop is a shareware cd rom disc series. We are up
to volume 4 now. The files that make it on the disc are
carefully selected and all attempts to maintain high quality are
made. The file selection is very up to date. The average file
date of Cream 4 is May 10, 1994. There are programs for
automatic and instant BBS installation for Maximus, Proboard,
Spitfire, RA, Quick BBS, and a partial setup for Pcboard. There
is a utility that will format the file descriptions in ANY
format you can imagine so any BBS software can be compatible.
The front end program for file view and retrieval is simple and
runs totally on the disc... and since it loads the listings into
memory the features are nearly instant.

and not a 3-D effect like The 7th Guest or Doom. Beside that, its one of the
best CD games you can buy. It also has a great resale value. You really can't
go wrong!

Hope this helps:
This is a bare bones walk through of the Channelwood Age of MYST. Although not
all details are covered, the main points needed to solve the puzzles, find the
pages, and return to the Library, are covered. This walk through begins in the
Channelwood Age. If you need help getting to the Myst book that brings you to
this age, see the walk through for Myst Island which contains information to
help you find each Myst book on the island.
You begin facing a tree on a series of wooden walkways. Find your way along
these walkways until you have found an elevator, a circular stairway you can't
enter, a pump like device with a handle, and the wind mill building. In the
wind mill building, turn on the faucet at the bottom of the large tank. The
pipes along the walkway have switches that direct the water flow to different
routes. Set these switches so that water flows to the pump by the elevator.
Enter the elevator and close the door by clicking on it. Pull the handle and
ride up to the lower tree level. Find you way to the circular stairway and go
down it. You can open the door from the inside and it will stay open. Reset
the pipe switches so that water flows to the pump device at the bottom of the
circular stairway. Go back up the stairs to the elevator next to the stairs an
ride it to the upper tree level. There is a red page, a blue page, and the
right half of a note to be found here, along with various clues to the behavior
of the former occupants.
When you are ready to leave, make your way to the wooden walkways and reset the
switch so that water flows to the pump device at the end of the deadend walkway
Pull the handle on the pump and the bridge to the other section of walkway will
appear. Follow it to another elevator. Follow the wooden walkway (not the one
you came here on) until you find a crank. Turning this will extend the pipe
across the gap. Go back to the pipe switches and direct the flow of water to
the path that leads to the temporary pipe across the gap, which leads to the
last elevator. Take this elevator up to a small room where the Myst book that
transports you back to the Library can be found. Put the page in the same
colored book and read it to get more of the story. Return via the Myst book in
the Large Tree to get the other page. Don't forget to copy down the right half
of the note so you can match it up with the left half when you find it.

I really don't care for it. I liked 7th Guest better. In 7G you go
around solving difficult puzzles, but you know where they are! In
Myst, you just go around clicking on things hoping something happens!
Occasionally you'll get some clues and say "Oh, ok, I have to... next".
Otherwise nothing. You don't get stuck on a puzzle, you get stuck on
what else to click! You click everywhere! And maybe get lucky. I hate
Luck puzzles!
I also liked the little videos in 7G, none in Myst. I was really
disappointed.

Isn't the CM50 an ancient drive, probably not MMPC compatable? A single speed

SC>Drive won't read a bent disk.
SC>Cheers Steve Chapman
Not a bad cd for a freebie.
Had the same problem but with a bit of lateral thinking I overcame the problem
THE FIX.---
1. Drop the disk into a large flat baking tray of boiling water
and leave it for a few minutes.
2. Carefully remove it and pat it dry with a soft cloth.
3. Place it between the pages of a large book to cool.
4. Hey presto 1 flat CD. Well it worked for me.
NO RESPONSIBILITY TAKEN FOR ANY DAMAGE TO CD IF YOUR NOT VERY CAREFUL

SC>When you open the CD Rom you find that the CD is buckled
SC>because of the thin cardboard backing and the shrink wrap
SC>that buckles the CD and the cardboard when packed.
SC>I don't know about the Mag wither is is good or not, just you

SC>I took it back to the shop and all the rest of the CD's where
SC>all the same. Buckled.
SC>What i seen of the mag looks ok, at $12.00 Australian it's a
SC>little bit expensive, it contains Demos new levels of Spear
SC>of Destiny plus other things i have forgotten about.
SC>So if you buy this Mag, what out for the buckled CD, you CD Rom

SC>Cheers Steve Chapman
Hi Steve,I have bought this Mag and my cd was ok.Looks like your mag has
had a rough journey.I like the mag and the cd's are very good in content.I
have also bought the English version of CDRom Today and it is not a patch
on the USA version even though the cd comes in a proper jewel case

Hi Michael,If you change the clock speed on your motherboard to 40 Mhz the
dx2/66 would indeed run at 80mhz internally.Though whether it is
recommended is another matter.The dx2/66 already run hotter than the dx33
and with the increased speed a proper heatsink and fan would be more
critical.I am thinking of going to a dx2/66 and I am debating whether to
overclock it or not.

Map the tree level, make sure you go to every room. In one room,
if you look a particular way, you can see the stairway. There is a
lever in that room. Pull it.

I accidently found the green page before I ever left the main

After you turned off all the marker switches - what did you do
next? The green page is in the marker switch at the doc. Maybe
you forgot a marker switch.

DH{ How do you trade CD-Rom games with someone that you don't know who
DH{is far away? How do you trust that person to send you back what you asked
DH{for. Please tell me if you have experience on this. I would like to trade
DH{my Myst CD-Rom game and Return to Zork for something else.
DH{-Duc Huynh
Duc,
Yep. That's how it's done.. I personally have traded or bought
twice. I traded an extra enclyopedia for Alone in the Dark (everything
went fine), bought two cd's - Reference Library & World Atlas
(everything went swimmingly), and I'm about to trade my Alone in the
Dark for Might and Magic: World of Xeen. It's a very useful process..
However, their are people out there that try to con you and stuff, but
it's like a leap of faith.. You have to trust them to get it done...
Joey
PS - It's vice versa to them.. They don't know if they can trust you..

I don't need the files to check them. I check them from the CD. I know
what to look for! Besides, though this probably doesn't happen that
often, it's very easy to change the dates of files.
I never said any hacked or cracked files I might find, would be ones
I've seen before. They may be totally new to me, but I've been doing
this for three years, and I know many ways to tell. That's what my
newsletter is about.

That scenario is NOT one of my concerns. It's the easily visible ones
that I look for.

That's why several publishers hire me to go thru a disk BEFORE it's
pressed.

Sorry, I don't have a source for this cd. My previous source for it was
selling an illegal OEM version (unbundled), but he also went out of
business (no correlation).
If I find a new source, I'll probably add it to my price list, so keep
looking each month for it in there.
