The 7th guest has lots of meaningless puzzles.  The graphics are about
the same as Myst.  Myst is all around a better "Adventure inteeractive"
game that 7th guest.

First I would like to thank all the people who responded to my request for a
hint even though I did manage to solve where I was temporarily stuck by myself
and I am now well into Day 5.  As I mentioned originally this game is buggy
and on the opening auto sequence for Day 5 I got into a locked position and it
mattered not if I was running in extended, expanded or conventional and the
only work around was to hit the spacebar and skip the auto sequence. Other
lockups and strange happenings such as slow down in a binocular sequence have
occurred and also have found must reboot if I have been running Windows. My
base setup is a vanilla 486DX33 with 8 meg of ram and a Zoltrix
Plus 2 S/B compatible sound card.

 KB> Yes, you saw correctly.  An IDE cd rom drive labelled double
 KB> speed with just a thirty ms accesss speed and HUGE throughput,

   MPC Wizard 2.0 rates my low end SCSI double speed CD-ROM at 56 ms, so its
not all that much faster... ;-)
   Most likely the benchmark programs are being fooled by some feature of the
drive, probably a large cache.  I wouldn't get too excited about those numbers
until more supporting evidence is available.

Um, I heard that Doom 1.5 was a hacked version...or maybe it's come out of beta
testing.  The latest version that I know of is 1.4, but that's only the
shareware one.  My Registered DOOM is 1.2...
I'm up for a Doom game, if you're local to Hayward...

California, that is.

AB>   What is Creme x.x??

 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.

    I have found by accident a secret level in Myst.  When you give the
last green page to the father, go back the the fortres/Island world and
turn on the electric cage.  It will then rise up and reveal a ladder going
down to another book.  This book will take you to a space like level that's
not mentioned in the library.  It really has no purpose but to look at.  I
think it will be part of Myst 2.


    Never mind, It was just a joke.  That's what happens in the
internet when no one talks to me!!!!  Now you know how I feel. :(

Can anybody out there give me some suggestions on how to get sound with
QuickTime for Windows?  I can get the MOV files to play the video
alright but can't get any sound.  I have checked all the INI files I
could think of and can't see anything obvious that might be wrong.  Is
there anybody else out there having the same problem?  I am using a
486DX/40 w/8MEG, SB16 ASP, DOS 6, Windows 3.1 and Quicktime 1.11.  Any
suggestions.....?

=> 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:
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....

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.-=-

Rick Curtis called things that are not as though they were!
 RC> IBM has a 240ms and 300kb transfer double speed CD drive with a good
 RC> price. Will this unit do full motion video without it being jerky?
 RC> Inquiring mind wants to know.<G>

Those two pieces of information say almost nothing about a drive.  The only
way to really know is to try it.  Otherwise, it could have a 190ms access
time and have a 2Mb cache on it and still play video slow.
(I've seen it happen!)

I was wondering, i know you sell single speed CD-ROMs, but do you ,or know
of anyone who does, sell writable CD-ROMs.  I thought that with a writable
CD-ROM i would not need to buy more hard drive space and could put
programs on CDs. I would appreciate some light on this matter, THANKS!!

You probally heard right.  I have Turbo 4000  and f or the price its a
great tutor.  Usually you find OEM versions of these for $15.00 os so.
I paid $16.99 for mine.  Consider BattleChess Enhanced CD rom for the
best fun chess game.  This also has a tutor but not nearly as good as
chess 4000.

Good Luck,  Gregg

I've heard similar stories to yours, but the topper is that their sister
company, Multimedia Distributing, filed bankruptcy and stiffed several
CD publishers for over $100,000.  The "out of stock" scenario is/was a
common practice with both Free Spirit and Multimedia Distributing.

This sounds like a classic case of IRQ conflict.  Use the latest version of
MSD you have (DOd 6.2 is latest, but the Win 3.1 ver will be fine) and find
out what IRQ's are being used.  I believe the SB16 comes with a utility to
check for free IRQ's, you might want to check the manual.  The SB16 comes set
at port 220, IRQ 5, DMA 5, H-DMA 1.  Try adjusting the IRQ to 7.  Move the
jumper on the card and reconfigure the software.  You won't be able to print
and use the SB at the same time though.

I have the same problem. If i want to hear the sound from audio CDs i have
to plug in headphones into the CD-ROM itself in the front. Or you have to
unplug the speakers from the back and plug them into the headphone jack in
the front. I think the problem is that the sound card is not designed for
a CD-ROM (that is the problem with mine anyway). Some one else might have
a way to fix it but, that what i have to do. Hope that help.

P.S. If you find a way to fix it, it would be great if you could let me
know.
BYE!

The problem is that the Mitsumi audio-out connector is exactly reversed from
the SB16 audio-in ...

Re-pin the wire from the CD-drive, and try again...

Are you using the SB card that is compatable with the Mistumi?  Also keep in
mind that the audio cable from the Mitsumi drive has the pins in incorrect
order.  So you would have to either reverse the cable and file off the
little tab for it to fit properly.  Or pop out the pins and reverse their
order. My 2 cents worth....

Do you have the Hitachi 3600 for sale and if so, what's the price?

Thanks

Bill

Hello Brice!

 BF>  I have your acceptance and cashing of the refund check.

Yes In fact I did just cash the refund check, I am NOT complaining about that,
What I was complaining about is why did you take 3 months to do it?  Brice Be
straight, I know you got out of the service and am trying to make some money
for yourself and I have nothing against that.  In fact I think it's great.
However When I talked with you on the Phone the night of April 14th, I placed
my order with you and as you said you did not take credit cards to please send
check.  I put that in the mail the next day.  Now on 2 May you cashed that
check.  Why didn't you send the CD's out that day right after cashing the
check?

I believe Mike Shannon was commented on MY message where I was complaining
about your Non Servive.

 BF> NUMBER, this whole mess would have been settled a LOT sooner.

If you check your Telephone Recorder log you will see that on 22 June 94 at
Japan time 22:12:36 I made a call to your Voice number and you were not there,
I left a message on the recorder telling you again of the long problem and ask
you to return a call immediately to me.  I left my Voice Number.  You did not
respond. I have proof of my call here from the Japanese Phone Bill to number
317-541-1634.

I then sent via 2  day Express Mail a long letter with all the info again,
Address, Phone Numbers, E-mail address.  Yet no return call from you.

Brice if you plan to see CD's to your customers, please treat them like humans.
Humans who send money in want something in return.

If I had been in your shoes I would have at least written all concerned with
others and explain whats going on with their orders.

As I have my REFUND now I consider this case closed.  I would advise you to
please don't forget how your customers should be treated.

I will never in the future myself order from you again because of this one time
that you failed me.  I am sure you have other satified customers.

Bill

I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere!

Nope, that was the puzzle from the telescope. The one in the microscope is

next to the other color it takes over the other space. That way you've got to
get more spaces then the computer and then you've won...

I don't wish to criticize you in any way.

However, I can speak in two different capacities:

1.) Cashier for a major computer store.
2.) Manager at a small retail establishment.

In both capacities, I see that we would have missed some major
purchases without credit cards.

In the case of Computer City, we lost many sales because the store
chain held out to negotiate a better deal with American Express. We
honored other credit cards, but not every business wanted to use them.

I worked for a time as manager of a small tourist-oriented gift shop.
If we didn't take credit cards, we would have lost considerable
business. Here, we started with Visa and Mastercard, and eventually
added Discover.

It was worth it to provide this coverage.

It's not that you picked up the wrong lamp, it's that you need the old lamp
to use as a makeshift teapot.  The salt water is from a babies tear.  Give
the baby lettuce a bottle and the rest will cry.  There's an island on your
map that you can barely see. That's the isle of myst.  You need the make rain
potion before you take the passage to the right.  To get to the isle of the
dead, you need the charm beast spell(got to the top of the mountain and use
it on nightmare, the horse).  These clues are all jumbled up,  so you'll
still have some pride in solving the puzzles.  Also, don't forget the to play
the flute in the land of the dead when you give the skeleton your ticket.
He'll drop a key that you need later.

I have been told countless times that the microscope puzzle doesn't have to
be solved.  I tried using the clue book to solve only this puzzle, and I was
finally allowed to continue with the game.  I've also heard that if you use
the clue book to solve any other puzzle, you didn't get the complete ending.
Well, I tried using the clue book for other puzzles, just to see. Guess what?
Same ending!  Is this the full ending, or is there more?

I have a SB16 SCSI-2 and I get no clicking sound from Megarace.  I
purchased it the day it was released and havn't had a problem yet.

When exactly does it click, is is like CLICK CLICK or click click, etc..
and how is the sound for you during the other parts of the game ?  Just
curious as maybe it's there and I just don't notice.

There are 4 different CDU33A Sony drives. CDU33A-01, CDU33A-02,
CDU33A-03, and the CDU33A/N (Sony technical support doesn't even know
the specs on this drive, I didn't bother calling their engineering
department!). The max space a disk can hold is 680mb (That's what the
Panasonic OMNI CD can read up to anyway). The problem with the Sony
drives is, the dealers don't know half the time what they are selling.
They just say CDU33A. Well, which CDU33A is it?!? You DEFINITELY DO NOT
want the CDU33A-01 model. If the drive has a 320ms access time,
300kb/sec transfer rate, and a 64kb buffer, it is most likely an 02 or
03. I have NO IDEA what the specs are on the CDU33A/N drive (it
s packaged with the desktop library). I ended up buying a Wearnes
Technology double speed drive (you can get it with Compton's
Encyclopedia for $180 (w/ interface card) from CD-Rom Warehouse). The
only problem with this drive is, it has a 380ms access time (230ms seek
time, that REALLY fooled me). Also, the manual says it can only read up
to 645mb of data on a disk. Few disks use all the space, but there are a
few. I'm hoping I don't run into problems. If I do, the drive was cheap,
I'll just buy another. Needless to say, I was severely pissed about the
Sony drives. No matter WHERE I went, it was always the same. "What do
you mean? It's just a CDU33A". It's the mystery of the Sony CD Rom
drives.

Welp, you could try reading the manual. That doesn't help much tho. The
game still remains VERY complex and confusing. I bought the game
thinking it'd be like Populous or Civilization. What I found was a
boring, slow game, dressed up in pretty animations that wasn't fun at
all. I was very disappointed. Good luck trying to figure out the game.

The only possible ways that I know of is to buy a CD-ROM cable that
is used to connect your sound card with your CD-ROM, and that goes
directly from the back of your CD-ROM to the sound card.  The other way
is to connect ear phones or a plug that goes into your stereo into the
front panel ear phone jack.

Did you dig more than 1 superficial level? Take a mine close to your colony and
make a way of cleaned terrain from your colony to the mine. That will do (
Don't forget to build towers for your robots otherwise you will loose them ).

The lamp part is not a concern, it will give you another ending at the end
if you picked the right one.  You will still be able to pass the game
though.  I will only tell you one clue to keep the game interesting.  The
salt water should come from tears when someone cry.  Hope you know my

+-[FM=>All]

Try increasing the number of sector buffers on your MSCDEX command line.
I've got a few CDs (all night owl's) around here that will do that
occasionally.  A CD cache may help also (like smartdrv w/dos 6.x).

Here's an mscdex command line:

c:\dos\mscdex.exe /d:mvcd001 /m:5 /v

Try stepping the /M: up to about 20 or so and see if that makes a difference.
You might also want to try another GIF viewer.

Hope this helps...

 I don't know about "all time great" but you may already have
 cd caching capability.  DOS 6.2 and later comes with a version
 (I think the version number is 5 or something like that) of
 SmartDrive that will cache CD drives.  All you have to do is
 load MSCDEX before SmartDrive gets loaded.

 Switching things around would be haphazard. The thing to do
 would be to remove other cards to see if you could eliminate
 the conflict (If there is one!)  I do that all the time when
 I install a new drive that seems to have a mystery conflict.
 If you have any further questions, I would be happy to try
 to answer them.  Good luck.

GW>  Joe, I just got my Mitsumi CDrom and now you've gotten me
GW>to thinking; did I make a wise choice? The main reasons
GW>that I chose the Mitsumi drive were price and
GW>compatability. Now I have to find someone to help install
GW>it, can you give me any advice?

 If you would explain what went wrong and what isn't working right
 I may be able to give you some pointers.  It is very important
 that you de-conflict the drive.  You must use an unused IRQ ( I
 think they normally use the one for LPT2 since most people don't
 use two printers)  and an unused DMA channel ( Think 1 is the
 normal choice.)  As I just advised another person, you can
 remove other cards that may be conflicting with the interface
 card to help narrow down the problem.  The last one I installed
 was on a Packard Bell that somehow had a problem with the modem
 conflicting with the CD drive.  All the jumpers said the conflict
 didn't exist, but, the machine said otherwise.
 Good luck

 I think you will find that the fidonet doesn't know Chris Carr
 form the Elk River BBS from Chris Carr from Backwater Arkansas.
 There is probably another Chris Carr out there that is looking
 for a new CD drive and you both get the mail.
 Just an idea.

??? Uhhh...some how or other I think that perhaps I amy be confused with
another Bill English. I am Sysop and CEO of UFINET News and Information
Services, located in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. Because we are a commercial
service I don't often get over into the Fidonet areas respecting Fidonet's
rules and codes for commercial systems. This is the first time that I have had
a chance to drop in and look around..

I haven't got the foggiest idea of what is being discussed concerning CD-Roms,
and it was kind of a shock to receive so many messages concerning them. Some of
them seemed to be extremely hostile and that does not make for good relations.

If it is at all possible could some one please look into this matter and see to
it that the confusion is brought to an end. I have enough controversy in my own
life without adding to it...<G>

  Make sure you do not have anything else running that requires sound.
I had the same problem running Plug in 2.0 for Windows as it holds on to
your sound card unless you specify for it to release the card to quicktime.
hope this helps.

 That's what happened alright!  I was SO happy to see the old
 lamp seller again (after he had disappeared for such a long
 time) that I traded the lamp immediately.  Naturally, I hadn't
 gotten the scene where Alexander talks to Jollo (in the bookshop)
 about the lamp and suicide.  However, after I do this, the lamp
 seller isn't there.  I presume he WILL show up again?

There's a CD-ROM out there with almost 1000 red and blue 3-D pictures on it.
It comes with a set of glasses to look at all the images.  The question is:
what is the name of this disk, and who makes it?  I'd like to order it, but I
need this information.  Thank you!

I got the CD-Rom Version of Dungeon Hack, and it completely installs the game
to my Hard Drive, not even requiring the CD-Rom to play it.  The game takes up
about 12-megs!  What a disappointment!  I should have bought it on floppy; it
wouldn't have made much difference.  Are all of SSI's games like this?  And
Dungeon Hack on CD still asks for copy protection.  There's no way to play it
off the CD, because all the files need to be uncompressed to a hard drive.  I
don't understand some of these game makers.

Hi Roger,

RK>SF>                They really need to get it straight huh?

RK>Both worked fine for me. Maybe you got a bad disk? Later,

Just got a call from a friend with a 486/25 with 4MB RAM.  Will be
interesting to find out how the magazine CDs run for him.

Everything we have tried so far on the CDs worked.  Part of the demo for
Q/Media presentation package does not match the information in the
magazine but I called Vancouver to order the full CD demo disc with
tutorial.

Did you try the Pinball Fantasies? I'm not usually a game player but
will be watching for CD-ROM version because the sample DOS version was
so much fun.

 1. You can ask him/her to fax you a copy of the front side of the CD-ROM and
    registration card with serial # if it is not registered and still
    available.
 2. If it has been registered, check with the CD-ROM publisher for the
    ownership.
 3. Backup your old mail packets, they are useful to check for someone's

i am sure you can make by the very first part in level one where you are in the
vein and blood cells and other things are coming at you.  after that part a
circular machine blocks your passage.  there is a small circular object moving
back and forth inside this machine.  keep shooting that circular object untill
the whole machine blows up. after that the first level is over and you will
come to a pod bay.

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
RK>often pay attention to any ads here, and want to surely avoid this
RK>company.

Free Spirit sells CD-ROM software, jewel boxes, drives, etc. I think they
handle CD stuff only but am not 100% sure. I heve not seen any ads by them
here but they advertise in Computer Shopper and PC Magazine.

They keep sending me their newspaper-like ad flyers but I will never,
ever, order from them again.

|There are some severe inaccuracies in this book!! (The official
|guide.)

Thank you for writing, Ron.
As I thumbed through the semi-extensive tomb at a local Barnes & Noble
(tucked away between an InterNet Guide for the Hopelessly Brain-Dead and
a 21-Day Crash Course In C++), I noted some confusing areas...

|The bishop puzzle, and others were apparently written "bass akwards,"
|or upside down.

Indeed. What was the thinking behind publishing a "short" and "long"
solution? The point was to solve the puzzle, wasn't it, not dwell on it
like an amateur playing his first successful checkmate, right?

|I puzzled over this for quite some time, and just turned the solution
|upside down. It worked just fine.

I could understand that kind of approach in The Bishop's Puzzle. Maybe
the author was springing a final touche upon those who "invested" in
such a book, thinking the solution(s) would be dropped right in their
laps (yeah right).

|Remember, I'm totally incompetent at chess, and followed these moves
|one by one. I was able to find major mistakes in at least two puzzles.
|Think what a chess player can find for errors.

Turn the chess player loose in the upstair's bathroom (the knight swap).
He'll probably be downstairs eating the cake before you discover how to
crawl down through the sinktrap.

... Wise men say even a dead fish can swim... albeit downstream, mind you.

|You probally heard right.  I have Turbo 4000  and f or the price its a

|I paid $16.99 for mine.  Consider BattleChess Enhanced CD rom for the
|best fun chess game.  This also has a tutor but not nearly as good as
|chess 4000.

I've toy'd with ChessMaster 2100, just to bounce around the question of
whether or not I should "dive into" playing chess. I favor a computer-
ized opponent who has a fair amount of compassion and doesn't play at
the speed a Pentium-powered interstate semi, yaknowhatimean? (as though
it's got better things to do than to sit around waiting for me to make
my move).

B'Chess, the first installment, was, in my opinion, the best at raising
a once scholary game ("<Shhhhhhhh!> Either be quiet, young man, or leave
the room!") into something that could be played by one who never got
beyond checkers. There was no feeling of, "I'm going to wipe the board
with you, sucker!"  The idea was a friendly game that said, "Wow, is
that black queen ever built <hubba-hubba>!"  All the changes the game
has gone through have been just so much more icing. If the characters on
the box say anything about the game in progress, I'll pass.

... At 24 hrs/day, with 24 beers/case, we should--ah rats... I lost count!

Well, after I've loaded everything, I have 617K free of memory (of course, this
is using EMM386 - I couldn't even load my CD and still have enough mem to play
anything without it!) But Goblins 3 (CD) works well except for the stupid sound
effects. Could there be anything wrong with my CD player. Again, I can play
musical CD's no problem. Maybe the CD is defective.

P.S - Thanks for replying to my question.

Does anyone know much about the D-TIME10 CD-ROM ACCELERATOR ? Is this
hardware that goes in a slot or just software ? Will it speed up a
single spin cd drive so one can play cd games which require a double
speed cd ? Thanks in advance for any info on this .

    The SB 16 and a Panasonic 562/563 would be a great combo (and economical).
We have the drive for $145. Iwould not even consider a single speed for
doing anything but looking at data.

Duc,
        I recently traded a CD for the first time. I put a message on
        this conference that I had 7th Guest for trade or sale. A guy in
        South Carolina (I am from Ill.) wrote me back with his phone
        number. Said he wanted to trade with the new Police Quest Game.
        I called him at his number and we agreed to each mail at our
        expence the next day. Well 3 days later my package arrived.

        I too had worrys about getting ripped off, but went with my gut
        feel after talking with S.C.. There probably are those who will
        rip you off but there are also honest ones out there.

Greg from Ottawa Illinois

Doom v1.5 is not hacked! It is a direct release from ID...however, don't get
rid of your old v1.2's....since 1.3, you are not allowed to use exterior WAD
files on the SHAREWARE release; this does not affect registered versions
however.

Try installing Video for Windows drivers from the ground up, and see if sound
works with .avi files. Microsoft's new FTP site is ftp.microsoft.com      If
that doesn't work, send me your .ini files to look at. IA

It is one part adventure game, one part interactive cartoon. I have found the
puzzles to be both entertaing and challenging.
The graphics and sound are quite good and I do not have any problem with my
386/33 DX with eight megs. There is no written script (unless you want it) just
spoken dialogue.

Stewart,

There are about five or six CD shareware titles to consider if you want
the absolute latest file dates:  Software Vault Emerald, Pier 5, Night
Owl 13, Monster Media 94, Shareware Studio 5, and Current Shareware 94
vol 2 all have 100% 1994 file dates.  Pier 5 has 100% dated between
March and August 1994!  The most current Windows shareware CD is Winbox 2,
with 100% 1993/1994 file dates.  All these are first-rate discs, with good
attention to quality and detail.

Judging from customer response, our most popular encyclopedia packages
have been  1) Encarta   2) Grolier's 6.0   3) Compton's Interactive.  All]
are excellent, with varying degrees of coverage and ease of use.  For a
price/performance leader, I like the Compton's Interactive at $36.90.

Give me a call any time and we can discuss more!

        ALL,

        I have an external Phillips CM225 Single speed cd-rom. I've been
having problems lately because DOS won't let me dir the cd's. It
recongizes that there IS a cd (I'm using Toolworks Reference Library),
but when I type f: (drive to cd-rom), and type 'dir' and accesses the
drive, turns on my 'red' light, accesses, etc. about 4 times and then
says It's not the correct format or some error message (I forget). Could
you tell me what the 'ell is going on here?!? If you need more info, I
can give it to ya.. Thanks!!

   CF> I have over a dozen shareware CD-ROMs.  Is there a program
   CF> available that will search my entire library by filename (I
   CF> know I have QQQQQ.ZIP but which disc is it on?) or for a text
   CF> string within a FILES.BBS description?

Yes.  SEARCH.EXE (shareware).

The way it works:  You set up a directory on your hard drive to store
a copy of each ALLFILES.LST (most CD's have one, only a few will have
to be created for the purpose).  SEARCH finds every occurence of your
specified text string(s) in any of the lists (whether in the filename
or the description) contained in this directory.

SEARCH can work from ASCII files (SEARCH.STR and SEARCH.FIL) which you
can create with any word processor, or it can be run directly from the
command line.  It can display the results to the screen, or print them
to a report file.

Example 1 (COMMAND LINE):

     SEARCH PSD VAULT1.LST /S

would display every occurence of "psd" in "VAULT1.LST" to the screen.


Example 2 (ASCII FILES):

     SEARCH /F

will read the text strings and file names from prepared lists, and print

 Tim,
    Here's the name, #, & price, and a tip.
     1-800-827-6767  Damark  $79+shipping
            -BUT-
    get the Wearnes 2X speed for $119 from
     1-800-237-6623  CD-ROM Warehouse
    it's faster so graphics are -much- bettter and
    it'll outlast 10 of the Mitsumi specials according
    to a repair tech friend of mine.

Hi Paul,
        your cd rom player should be able to play music cd's
with your Mitsumi and soundblaster combination,
check your interupt settings, should be set at int5  address 220
  The cd has a seperate audio out for music and there should
be an audio cable from it to the sound card.
   Hope this helps.
 If you need any more help send your setting details and connections.

 Regards David.

Hi all, Im in need of help, I have a panasonic 563B cd rom player
which I have used with a sound blaster 16 card , but I am trying to
use it with a sound vision AISP 16 sound card (better sound etc)
but it takes ages to boot when the sys file is looking for the drive.
I believe that there is an undocumented switch in the rom.sys which
allows the use of a 563B as a 562 drive.
  any sugesstions other than getting a 562 cd drive. *8}

        Thanks David.

Tolerance, I read this echo for info on CD-ROM.  Not bloody Pornography, we
have our redlight districts for that.  You make it accessible for Kids.  Plus
offeneding others.  If you are so warped and desperate that you resort to that
crap, go buy a blow-up women, if you haven't already and go use the FIDO_DEVO
echo.  And leave us alone.  The sooner the governemts come down on disturbed

    Hello, I am just wondering why all the CD-ROM advertisements aren't
    in the other echo which is dedicated to cd-rom sales?  I'm not trying
    to play moderator, just curious.

Marc, in the numbers in the USA are 800-242-4775 or 713-524-6394. I

Just bought a Gravis Max 512k and upgraded it to 1mb. What a card ! I've now
owned the PAS16, SBPRO, SB16ASP, ROLAND MT-32, ULTRASOUND and now the Max and
I'll tell you take a look at this thing and see what your missing and for only
$249.95+tax I can't find anything to compare. The SCSI option was only another
$35.00+tax. I am one happy camper....

Can anyone explain to me the Texel/Plextor line of CD drives.  Recently
I purchased a Texel DM-3024 with updated Firmware chips.  Where does
this drive fit in with their current line.  What other drives does
Texel/Plextor make.  Any help pointing out the differences between the
drives made by this company would be appreciated.  Thanks, later...

Anyone played the cdrom game Jutland?  Is it worth buying?  Does it play
directly from the disk, or does it load onto the hard drive?  What are
the graphics, animation, sound, etc., all like?

Also...  Is there anyone out here selling this game?

I'll back you up on that.  We knew it was a losing battle to try
negotiating with Amex, so we took the plunge long ago, and signed up with
them.  Since that time, it has become obvious to me that we have taken on
an entire new group of purchasers who simply don't want to use any charge
card OTHER than American Express.  Their discount rate is higher, but
we'd lose 10% of our overall sales if we didn't offer it.

Now, if VISA approached us and offered big bucks to nix Amex, like they
do for their commercials, with those restaurants and other businesses that
"don't take American Express", then I might have to re-think my position.

Stewart,

There are about five or six CD shareware titles to consider if you want
the absolute latest file dates:  Software Vault Emerald, Pier 5, Night
Owl 13, Monster Media 94, Shareware Studio 5, and Current Shareware 94
vol 2 all have 100% 1994 file dates.  Pier 5 has 100% dated between
March and August 1994!  The most current Windows shareware CD is Winbox 2,
with 100% 1993/1994 file dates.  All these are first-rate discs, with good
attention to quality and detail.

Judging from customer response, our most popular encyclopedia packages
have been  1) Encarta   2) Grolier's 6.0   3) Compton's Interactive.  All]
are excellent, with varying degrees of coverage and ease of use.  For a
price/performance leader, I like the Compton's Interactive at $36.90.

Give me a call any time and we can discuss more!

When Iron Helix edits the win & system.ini, it {should} leave a backup of the
files.  Look for some files named win and system.bak, b~k, or any other
extention.  if the are older win and system.ini files, (check the date)
rename them and try to get the other prog working.  If you found the backup,
you can create a batch file to replace the win and system.ini files before
you run one game or another.

I've found that almost everyone here is trustworthy as I have had about
half a dozen deals with people from deleware, arizona, bermuda, and even
canada. The most important thing is to be sure exactly which product
you're trading for. There have been several arguments over which cd were
to be traded for what, but I've heard of that only happening
twicepersonally once to me, but it was quickly straightened out and
blamed on miscommunication. You've got to trust some people in this
world, you may sometimes get stung, but overall I still think the
quality of people is high.

also have megadoor? The description that i have of it says it has megasearch
for dos, but doesnt say anything about megadoor...

Great! I just got Return To Zork and I'm still working on finishing 7th
Guest. If I don't get any deals between now and when you're finished, it's
a deal. Count me in.

Tell me what you think of it. When you get to the end, is it a
disappointment? Are you sure it's version 1.01. Version 1.00 supposedly
doesn't work on Mitsumi CD drives.

I have been trying to get myst to run on my Packard Bell 486sx33 double speed
cd rom, but for some reason the screen splits in half (the top part of the
game is on the bottom, and the bottom is on the top).  The msic comes through
find, and the game works fine, but I would like to get the game to work
correctly.  This disk is fine because it works on other peoples comps.  If
anyone knows what is wrong with my computer, please let me know here or call
me a t hom [phone].  Thanks in advance.

Terry....

I just got Cream II & III in the mail.... I tried to set
up Cream III without having Cream II setup.... When I ran
the MX_CREAM program I got a run-time error....Do I have to
have Cream II installed to setup Cream III? I only have 2 cdrom
drives right now and don't want to remove the disk I have in
one of them. I rather have Cream III running than II ( but I did
setup II anyway )....

  I'll let you know. Not sure on the version #. It doesn't say on it or the

Hello All!


One of these came by my brother's way... Does anyone out here know of:

A) A file like the various Hard Drive files that lists CD-Rom?  If so where
can I get it from?

B) This drive did not come with any drivers or controller card.  Any info as
to what type of drive this is.  What drivers and card are needed would be
much appreciated.


I have only had expierence with Panasonic CR-562B's... I'm lost...

Don't wait.  Because they will NOT be in the same price range as
CD-ROM...  (actually, CD-ROM reader/writer has been available for a long
time... you don't have to wait for it.. if you wish, you can get it
now...  if you have the cash to spend)

First, you need to have a copy of SmartDrv 5.0 or later..  then, load up
your CD-ROM driver and MSCDEX.EXE first.. then load up SmartDrv.  That's
it..

If you are using SmartDrv 4.0 or 4.1..etc..  It does not support CD-ROM
caching..  so you need to upgrade your software <g>

Agree.  But I would not buy a MPEG decompression card (like ReelMagic)

I read about it..  it seems to be a very good drive.  SCSI-II, 240ms
access time (not the fastest, but in CD-ROM, transfer rate is much more

not 128K, not 256K.. but 1MB.. gee..)  The list price is $549 for
internal version.. but you can probably pay $400+ on street price..

You mean, the buffer number for the CD-ROM, right?  It is on your

"/m:number" is for the buffers.  But it uses some of your memory.  See

Hmm...  a compressed drive should NOT be slower than a CD-ROM..  a
CD-ROM's transfer rate is only 300K/s to 350K/s for a double-speed
CD-ROM..  a hard drive is usually much faster than that even if it is
compressed.  Besides, the access time on a CD-ROM is much slower.
(180ms, the fastest I have seen on a CD-ROM, compare to 8.5ms, the
fastest I have seen on a hard drive.. even a very slow hard drive will
have an access time of 20ms or so..  )

What kind of CPU do you have?  It might slow it down a bit if you have a
slower CPU.. since it takes some CPU power to decompress..

Can't you just use the correct cable, connect the sound output from the

(also, the really tiny adapter, probably 4-pins..  NOT the SCSI adapter

the small one..

brought his tower Pentium system with 17-inch monitor to school... very
good for games... <G>)

Did anyone see the new catalog from Tiger Direct?  $49 dolllar for a
brand new single speed drive with interface.  Not that I will get one,
but I just think it is pretty cheap and want to tell everybody..  (I
think that would be good for a BBS..)

Do you have an little audio cable installed??  For music CDs, you need
to connect an audio cable between the CD-ROM drive and the sound card.
(Usually, it is a 4-pin cable.)

Where can I get the best price on an NEC 3Xi drive?

That's a triple speed, internal drive that uses a caddy.
Made by NEC obviously....

I will be willing to consider other models.  However, it must be triple speed
(or quad), mount internally, and use caddies.


thanks

        Thanks for taking the time to reply. I was afraid all the experts had
left this echo. I'm using smartdrv (positioned after mscdex) and I've tried at
least a half dozen viewers, some that use xms and very simple ones. Nothing
worked, but your suggestion to increase the buffers sounds very promising.

luck. The program was recognized but my computer did NOT see the CD drive. I'm

Don't forget to get off /U parameter from smartdrv command line. I think, that
during installation DOS 6.2 give this parameter by default. I have bought my
CDdrive a few weeks ago, and I spent a lot of time to catch this "bug" :)).
/U parameter tells samrtdrive: "don't load CD caching module".

I think teh problem is slow video card..  Try to run your AVI videos in full
screen mode instead of running windowed.

Other kind of problem may be ram shortage. I have seen this effect on
MacIntosh, when I had 8 megs, there was a lot of noises while playing
animations. Now I have 16 megs, and no problems.

  1. You don't need to finish the microscope puzzle you can just turn left
in that room and go out the other door and then exit the library. I finally
gave up trying to solve that puzzle.

 2. The colored stones...you don't need to get rid of them all to finish
it...and ever 3rd step must be a purple stone and the exit stone must be a
third step.

hope that helps

Its a great game! But i ran it on my old 386/40 with 512k vid ram and it runs
really slow.. and i'd say a 2x cd-rom is highly recomned too. It has
14levels/tracks. And novic and hardend.. its a great show off game too.

Encyclopidia called Toolswork Multimidia for any thing you want.  It's not

 LB> Laurie

  You are wrong...there's no such thing as a CD-ROM drive that will write to
a CD..that's false...a CD masterer is required to write to a CD.  A cd is a
CD not a CDROM...doesn't matter what it was written on with, it's still a
CD. You can't call a CD written to by a CD recorder a CDROM, CDROM is only
given to that CD when it's compatible with CDROM drives. If calling it a
CDROM is correct then all your music CDs would be classified as CDROMS.

Yes ,I purchased Mega A/V 1 a couple of years ago and it does have MegaDoor
and terminal for BBS. I think Profit Press has it on sale for less than $10.
I recently got Forbidden Subjects also but I was rather disappointed with the
files being kind of old ('91,'92 mostly), was hoping for something more
recent.

Hmmm. I was looking for something a bit more up to date.

Anyway, I ended up ordering Software Vault Emerald for AUS$43. I know it's not
supposed to be a "best of" but there didn't actually seem to be a CD like what
I was looking for. Maybe there's a market for such a beast?

 Hi-ho

 How about trading Mega Race for The Journey Man Project? Are you interested
 in Rebel Assult? Would you like a swap or sell/buy.

 Hope to hear from you soon.

Hey there,

JU>I am looking for a Residential Phone Book CD.

JU>I have heard a few opinions on which is best but all
JU>have been by folks who don't actually have the CD-ROMs.

JU>I would like to hear opinions from someone who actually has
JU>used one (or more) of these CD's. Are you satisfied with the
JU>completeness, searching ability, user interface, DOS of
JU>Windows hooks, etc.?

I have Phone Disc which is quite good. It will search for a number if you
input the name, or it will find the name if you input a number. Unlike
Telecom's own program which allows you to input an address, and it will
come up with the number, name, etc. Telecom sells theirs for around $1000
for a single state, or $2000 for Australia wide. I've seen the latest Phone
Disc (brown) selling for $89.

Hi there.
There is a walk through available, but being on the other side
of the world, it would be a bid hard to get it to you.
Try your local BBS's for a copy of the walk through.

NL> SC> Just a short note about a CD Magazine called CD ROM Today.
I bought some copies of this magazine in the UK on a trip recently.  I
presume it's the same as the US version?  Anyhow, that copy had a very
sturdy plastic "jewel box" case, and the Cd rom itself is very good -
the July version, for instance, contains TuneLand, Sam and Max Hit the
Road, Auto Route Plus and Myst demos for PC - all excellent.  Magazine
costs 4.95 sterling, and we also get it here in Namibia - N$52.00.  By
the way, can someone tell me why this conference only seems to cover
USA, Australia and South Africa?  Never any messages from UK for
instance?  Greetings from Namibia.

  Scott,

      Just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for your
      excellent service regarding my order.

      (FAO/FAO Gold, Forbidden Subjects)

      I called Sunday, recieved them Tuesday.  I must admit with the
      "BEWARE" messages running around in this echo, I was a little
      skeptical, but my concerns were unfounded.

      You might want to post the hours your phones are open for orders,
      (unless you are restricted by the 10 lines), it has been a
      pleasure getting my CD-ROMS from you, and I await my catalog.

      Thanks again for the excellent service.  :)

They work great for a BBS. I'm using one and have ordered a second one. You can

You're perhaps unaware of the discs out there which have bootlegged the title
"Busty Babes."  One of these is a *very* inferior title that requires Windows.
The four you mention came from Florida Lion's Den or Lions Den Int'l; the
bootlegs come from someplace else.  I had one of them here once, and disposed
of it as worthless junk.  A total waste of good plastic.  The good ones are
those you mentioned, and the first of them is the expensive classic.  None of
the good ones requires Windows, but that isn't necessarily the reason why they
are so good.  It'll do.

I've heard of similar problems with another sound card. The solution

Hi Pam, the reason why so many of us think the ending is so terrible is because
throughout the game, solving the puzzles have been soooo rewarding!  Its one
of the best graphical games you can see, good mind thinking puzzles.

Although there is not a lot of interaction with other characters or a narrator,
the game is worth getting if you like to challenge you mind.  Many MYST player
will agree.  My recommendation:  BUY IT.

Hope this helps, Rich

Sorry, you are both wrong. Grolier does the encyclopedia, STW
does the marketing, including OEM. There are different editions
of both, perhaps that is where you are seeing the difference.

I've been reviewing them (professionally) for years and did a
word-for-word comparison years back that was -- well, word for
word.

You take a look at the copyright notice near the opening screen.
That should settle your interest. Cheers!

 I have a pretty good idea about who you're talking about...
 I've been to the castle, upstairs and heard Cassima crying in a
 room off the hallway.  But, I have a dilemma.  I can't get into
 the room because I don't have a key.  I can't make a hole in the
 castle wall because I don't have River Styx water.  So, I've
 reached an impasse.  I don't seem to be able to proceed because
 nothing new is happening.

Hello Elizabeth,

ER>Just got a call from a friend with a 486/25 with 4MB RAM.  Will be
ER>interesting to find out how the magazine CDs run for him.

That's similar to what I've got, upgraded to 8MB awhile back.

ER>Everything we have tried so far on the CDs worked.  Part of the demo
ER>for
ER>Q/Media presentation package does not match the information in the
ER>magazine but I called Vancouver to order the full CD demo disc with
ER>tutorial.

I haven't tried Q/Media, yet. But I have found similar mistakes with
other programs. To me it looks like they use the reviews in the back of
the magazine for the source of info. But I think it's understandable,
given the amount info to keep track of on the CD, plus it's only the
third issue with the CD. Hopefully they'll learn by their mistakes. I
really think they are doing a great job so far.

ER>Did you try the Pinball Fantasies? I'm not usually a game player but
ER>will be watching for CD-ROM version because the sample DOS versionwas
ER>so much fun.

No, another one I didn't try. I downloaded a pinball game awhile back
from my local BBS (Epic Pinball??) and this looked similar. I did waste
a lot of time playing with Wired for Sound demo though. The only real
problem I have is Hard Drive space. Right now it is FULL! Later,

Roger

Yes.. you could just by a normal read only cd-rom drive know.. and if
you want to upgrade to a read/write cd-rom, just sell your read only..
i'm sure there will be people who would by it.. and then you'll end up
with some money for your read/write cd-rom...

And yes, you can be certain read/write cd-rom drives are going to be a
bundle of money...

Definitly buy MYST... i had it... it was excellent...

The only problem is to play the game at a decent speed, etc.. you
really shouldn't play it on anything less than the speed of a 386dx
40mhz or a 486sx...

My friend has even had troubles while playing it on a 486dx 33mhz.

But forget those... its a great game with really sweet rendered
graphics.. great sound too..

Give it a try..

PB>    I've been reading some posts on here about the terrible
PB> ending Myst
PB>    has and was just wondering if it's worth buying?

The ending was terrible.  But besides that, the game isn't as "incredible"
as all the hypes made it to be.  The graphics is very good but you cannot
compare it to "The 7th Guest" which has true 3-D rendered graphics.  Also
unlike the "The 7th Guest", moving around scenes still follows the traditional
method of disjoint transition.  The complexity of the puzzles is only average.
I was able to solve most of the problems quite easily.  If you like better
adventure/puzzle game, try "Return to Zork".

The other beef I have about Myst is that they made it a Windows game.  Windows
is not most stable operating environment in the world, so you may run into
performance and hardware problems.  For me, I'm using WFW 3.11 and Myst
freezes quite often.  Fortunately, I was able the break out from it most of
the times by CRTL-ALT-DEL followed by a ESC, but it was a nuisance.

-> Can a CR-563 run off a standard plain panasonic interface card rather
-> SBcard? If so, what changes need to be made to the Config statements?
Andrew, YES, I have a 563 CD drive (Creative Labs Omni), it comes with
a 'plain' interface card for use without a SB card.. Do you need one??

5-1/4" half-height plays both cd-rom computer software and music CDs.
Stereo sound available through headphone connector, and adjustable
with volume control knob.  Requires no special audio control
utility, so you can listen to music cd's while your computer
is running other programs.  This unit has 553 MB storage capacity,
375 ms average access time, 153 to 176 data transfer rate and 32 KB
buffer.  Front tray loading requires no caddy.  Included are

adult files available on cd-rom, how well would this work?
What about viewing .gif files directly off a cd rom player?  Is
it slow as heck or what?

|     I agree with you I also played the game and only used the book
|     twice. Now I'm playing police quest 4 and having a hard time.

After I "inadvertently" stumbled into the maze, downstairs, I had a hard
time running it and keeping a mental image of the rug in the room up-
stairs. I finally took grid paper in hand and sketched the rug. The
maze's policy of "Run To The Next Intersection" threw me off at first,
but I soon found out where I was.

Did you play "the game" against a clock (ala DOOM, et al), or approach
it as if you were really inside that old house?  By this I mean there
are those who'll toss in the CD (from across the room as they're sit-
ting down at the system) and remark, "Yeah... OK... <sniff> Ok, we've
seen the opening segment. First thing anyone does is solve this...the
answer is..." They run the game like the CD has to be returned by 4:00
that afternoon. It seems extraneous effects and general artwork mean
nada.zip.zilch to these people (the ones who could quote you all of
DOOM's id-codes from memory). The fact that you're "walked" up the
stairs from the lobby/foyer is a [+] for the designers.

... Are these ["send money"] subliminal taglines ["send money"] effective?

Yes, I was being flippant - probably because I'm a little nervous about opening
up the "box."  However, juggling with lines in the autoexec and config. has
taught me a lot about DOS, but with lots more to learn.  The next step is
getting acquainted to the insides.  I plan to remove the drive this weekend and
see if I can exchange it at a computer fair in Oakland.  Yes, that sounds
haphazard too, but the person I got it from.....(long story).

If you have it available in DOS/IBM compatible diskette form,
would appreciate that.  I am blind and it's difficult to find a
way to read a print catalog.  However, if you can only provide
a printed version, I would still appreciate a catalog.

Well, got a parcel that was FedEx'd thru the APO.. after it was in the
mail app 4 months... looked like it went thru hell too. Just had a local
(Germany) order WildCat 4.0 from Mustang on Tuesday of this week.
Mustang sent it FedEx from Ca. and it was delivered Friday about 14:00
Pretty good eh? So where did the APO go so sour? :-)

Do you possibly sell these Panasonic drives? I have seen you mention

4 of them to add to my bbs. If you do sell them please send me the
price. Just seen the 562-B's for $129 in the Computer Shopper. Can you

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.

        Thanks for taking the time to reply. I was afraid all the experts had
left this echo. I'm using smartdrv (positioned after mscdex) and I've tried at
least a half dozen viewers, some that use xms and very simple ones. Nothing
worked, but your suggestion to increase the buffers sounds very promising.
        I'll give it a shot..... wish me luck, and again my thanks.

Well, you can't trade with them, but you can still get the ruby of truth, just
take it by force.  Find the chieftan and attack him, when you kill him you'll
get everything you would have gotten if you traded... (except the shops won't

Concerning Busty babes cds, JERRY MURPHY offered these words of wisdom...

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
JM>MS>To date, there have been four incarnations of Busty Babes:

JM>MS>volume 1 release 1
JM>MS>volume 1 release 2
JM>MS>volume 1 release 3
JM>MS>volume 2 release 1

JM>You're perhaps unaware of the discs out there which have bootlegged the
JM>title "Busty Babes."  One of these is a *very* inferior title that requires
JM>Windows.  The four you mention came from Florida Lion's Den or Lions Den
JM>Int'l; the bootlegs come from someplace else.  I had one of them here once,
JM>and disposed of it as worthless junk.  A total waste of good plastic.  The
JM>good ones are those you mentioned, and the first of them is the expensive
JM>classic.  None of the good ones requires Windows, but that isn't
JM>necessarily the reason why they are so good.  It'll do.

═════════════════════════════════════════════ VεctorQuotε 1.o ═════════════

Yes, I talked to Lee Noga on the phone yesterday, and she made me aware
of the ripoff discs.  Seems some folks are trying to profit from her
good name.

Stewart,

My opinion, based on what sells, and what our customers tell us, is that
the Pier CDs are the best overall.  Pier 5 is now in stock, and is the
most current shareware CD available, with all 640mb of its files dated
between March and August 1994.  Following close behind, I would put
Cream of the Crop 4, Night Owl 13, Software Vault Emerald, and Shareware
Studio 5.

We stock all the major shareware CDs, if you would like to call and talk
about them more!

(Actually, *I* traded an extra encylopedia for AITD).. And I sent mine
first, but it was the wrong address (I wrote it down wrong...), and I
had to send it again.. He got his after I got mine.. It was supposed to

Sorry... I don't have a distributor in that area but if you send me $25 US

spent a couple months about 2 years ago.  I have some good friends there who
are computer experts.  I really enjoyed that visit and hope to go again.  I
wish I had known of a Fidonet bbs to call while I was there.

Hummm...  try the Mx_cream program on vol. 2   ....put it in your path under a
different name and then log onto the root
directory of the Cream 3 disc and execute it.  Let me know how that works.

Don't bother waiting - CD-R drives are about $5000.- and MO
drives which are read/write/erase are $2500.- for 600MB. MO
drives are NOT compatible with CD-ROM.
You could wait for years, a good double speed CD-ROM drive is only
$US 200.-
SO BUY ONE and enjoy the wait for the ultimate optical drive!!

Hi Charlie.

     You mentioned earlier in a post about your faxback option to get your
     catalog.  How does this work?  I have a good fax modem which I have
     sent many faxes with.  But I have never used faxback.  Thanks for the

         William,

    Okay. I don't know the EXACT message, but it's not recongizing the
drive as a valid drive.. However, it happens to ALL computer cd's..
However, fear no longer. I just ordered a new double-speed for $99!

        Ben,

        It might be hell paying shipping to Germany, but you can get a
$99 External IBM 2x speed cd-rom from MicroWarehouse.. I just ordered
one myself. (However, Limit one per customer from MicroWarehouse..
HOWEVER, MicoSYSTEMSWarehouse (BIG Difference! :) doesn't say any limit
on same drive..) Number's 800-367-7080 (MicroWarehouse) or 800-660-3222
(SystemsWarehous).. Again, It's probably hell for shipping, but it's a
decent price, 'eh? :)

 UL>  drive if you want to play CD-I movies.                  Ubbe.

 BK> I have such a CD-ROM player (Sony CDU33A rev 1.0 d).
 BK> It has an extra feature connector on it besides the one to the

 BK> interface.
 BK> Please tell me more! Where can i get such an CD-I interface?

 Well, I don't know about the feature connector, but rev BC or higher
 can read the special CD-I coded data on the disc. Otherwise you will
 get "read error" or something when you try to read the disc with a
 "standard" cd-drive.

 I know there will be several cards later this year, that can be used
 to read CD-I data. The only one I know exists now is the ReelMagic
 that retails for something like $300-$400 without the SCSI and Sound-
 Blaster options.                                            Ubbe.

I've played a bunch of sub/boat simulators and I woul

I have it and would trade it..its got great graphics/sound/background
music. I think the playability is poor..I even wrote a 2 page letter to
the software company. It runs off the cdrom..it puts some stuff on the
hard drive, but not muc
h I can't tell what anyone else in my squadron
are doing (as far as damage). Its petty hard to tell if I'm hitting the

I just picked up a used Tandy CDR-1000 with no manual.

the IRQ settings on the card are labeled, but the other set of jumpers and the
DIP switches aren't.

any help you could offer for this drive and card would be appreciated.

This file will help you get the answers to the puzzles on Myst island and
all the different ages that you can go to in Myst version 1.0

Written by : Andrew Blayer

You may freely distribute this file at your convenience

The first section will explain a little about what you need to do on Myst
island, how to use the map in the library, and how to get to the tower. The
second section explains how to get to each of the different ages. The third
section tells how to get through each age. The fourth and final section will
tell how to finish the game.

Myst Island - To start off, as you go up the path towards the library, you
will find a note laying on the ground. It says, "Catherine, I've left you a
message of utmost importance in our fore-chamber beside the dock. Enter the
number of Marker Switches on this island to retrieve the message. Yours,
Atrius" I'll give this one away. After you start and are on the dock, turn
left. You should see an outline in the metal. Click on it to open the door.
Now go all the way down to the bottom of the stairs to the pool of water.
(By the way, the water is just a holographic image) Turn right twice and go
up to the piece of paper on the wall. You should see something that looks
like a button above the upper left-hand corner of the paper. Click on it.
When it opens, change the left number to 0 and the right number to 8. Now
press the red button and wait until it closes the panel. Go back to the
imager, the thing with the water in it, and push the button in the front of
it. Now you got the message and it's time to hit some switches. Hit the one
on the dock and up the stairs by the gears. Walk around for a while and you
should be able to hit 5 more for now. Now go into the library. It's the big
building with pillars on the outside of it and an open door. Enter and turn
around a few times. You will see a red and blue book. Go up to either of
them, take the page beside it, and click it on that book. (Blue pages only
work with the blue book and red pages only work with the red book. Clicking
it on a book with a different color will have no effect) Now click on the
book to open it and you find a person trapped in each of them begging for
you to release them (The static makes it hard to understand them). You can't
do anything for them yet. Check the bookshelf in the front of the library to
find 4 books that have not been destroyed. In each one, you will find out
about each age you must visit. In the book with the blue cover and leaves on
the front, you will find constellations. Write down the patterns. You will
need them later. In the blue book with the sun on it, you will see piano
keys and numbers below them. Copy this down with the numbers and also the
highlighted keys they are pointing to. Finally, go to the map near the door.
To see if you've hit enough switches, hold the mouse button on the tower
(flashing circles). The white line turning around should pause for a second
and turn red on 4 different places. To gain access to the tower, you must be
in the library. Go to the picture to the left of the bookshelf. Click on it.
It should spin around and the bookshelf should go down forming stairs. When
you go back there you will find an elevator. This will take you to the tower.
When you are in the tower, you can go up the ladder in front of you where
the tower is facing. You will just see rock if it is not facing a direction
that is important. Now, if you go to the left or the right side of the
elevator and move forward, you will see a ladder with a key on the wall.
This is what is important. If you have the tower pointed in the right place,
and go up the ladder, you will see a hint of what you need to do to gain
access to the book located there that will take you to a certain age. To get
out of the library (opening the bookshelf will close the library door),
simply click on the picture to the right of the bookshelf and make it spin
around.

How to get to the different ages

The Gears - Go to the map in the library, turn on the tower, and it stop on
the picture of the gears. Go to the tower and look at the plaque on the wall
above the ladder with the key. It will give you a time and 3 numbers. Write
them down. Get out of there and go to the clock tower that is out in the
water. Just keep going straight when you leave the library. Look at the
clock and note what time it is. Now look down at the wheels. The large wheel
will move the minute hand 5 minutes ahead. The small wheel moves the hour
hand 1 hour ahead. Turn the wheels until the time on the clock matches the
time you got from the tower. Push the red button. Gears should come out of
the water making a bridge. Cross it and hit the switch. Now go into the
clock. You have to figure out how to get the 3 little gears to go in the
same sequence as the numbers in the tower that were below the time it gave
you. If the weight goes down all the way, you have to reset it. To do this,
just pull the lever with the black handle. When the numbers are right, the
weight will go all the way down, and the gear in the front of the table
will turn up like it was cut in half. Now you can go to the large gears in
the beginning near the dock and they will be open. Go up to it, open the
book inside it, and click on the moving picture.

The Spaceship - This one isn't easy. Rotate the tower so it is facing the

Well, lots of people have suggested that, but I still couldn't make it work. In
the end someone from Finland emailed me a driver disk with CDMKE.SYS which
works just fine. Thanks for the suggestion anyway...

Cheers, Duncan.

 Yes... I have a few left and the price is $89.   Shipping  is  $5
 and c.o.d. is $5. I'll be on vacation Aug 8 to Aug 13 so you  may

Also...  Is there anyone out here selling this game?

It is one part adventure game, one part interactive cartoon. I have found the
puzzles to be both entertaing and challenging.
The graphics and sound are quite good and I do not have any problem with my
386/33 DX with eight megs. There is no written script (unless you want it) just
spoken dialogue.

   CF> I have over a dozen shareware CD-ROMs.  Is there a program
   CF> available that will search my entire library by filename (I
   CF> know I have QQQQQ.ZIP but which disc is it on?) or for a text
   CF> string within a FILES.BBS description?

Yes.  SEARCH.EXE (shareware).

The way it works:  You set up a directory on your hard drive to store
a copy of each ALLFILES.LST (most CD's have one, only a few will have
to be created for the purpose).  SEARCH finds every occurence of your
specified text string(s) in any of the lists (whether in the filename
or the description) contained in this directory.

SEARCH can work from ASCII files (SEARCH.STR and SEARCH.FIL) which you
can create with any word processor, or it can be run directly from the
command line.  It can display the results to the screen, or print them
to a report file.

Example 1 (COMMAND LINE):

     SEARCH PSD VAULT1.LST /S

would display every occurence of "psd" in "VAULT1.LST" to the screen.


Example 2 (ASCII FILES):

     SEARCH /F

will read the text strings and file names from prepared lists, and print
the results to a report file (SEARCH.RPT)


In either case, SEARCH.ZIP is available for f'req or download from:

Hi Paul,
        your cd rom player should be able to play music cd's
with your Mitsumi and soundblaster combination,
check your interupt settings, should be set at int5  address 220
  The cd has a seperate audio out for music and there should
be an audio cable from it to the sound card.
   Hope this helps.
 If you need any more help send your setting details and connections.

 Regards David.

Hi all, Im in need of help, I have a panasonic 563B cd rom player
which I have used with a sound blaster 16 card , but I am trying to
use it with a sound vision AISP 16 sound card (better sound etc)
but it takes ages to boot when the sys file is looking for the drive.
I believe that there is an undocumented switch in the rom.sys which
allows the use of a 563B as a 562 drive.
  any sugesstions other than getting a 562 cd drive. *8}

Tolerance, I read this echo for info on CD-ROM.  Not bloody Pornography, we
have our redlight districts for that.  You make it accessible for Kids.  Plus
offeneding others.  If you are so warped and desperate that you resort to that
crap, go buy a blow-up women, if you haven't already and go use the FIDO_DEVO
echo.  And leave us alone.  The sooner the governemts come down on disturbed
"wankers" like you, the better this network will be for all of us.

Great! I just got Return To Zork and I'm still working on finishing 7th
Guest. If I don't get any deals between now and when you're finished, it's
a deal. Count me in.

Tell me what you think of it. When you get to the end, is it a
disappointment? Are you sure it's version 1.01. Version 1.00 supposedly
doesn't work on Mitsumi CD drives.

Terry....

I just got Cream II & III in the mail.... I tried to set
up Cream III without having Cream II setup.... When I ran
the MX_CREAM program I got a run-time error....Do I have to
have Cream II installed to setup Cream III? I only have 2 cdrom
drives right now and don't want to remove the disk I have in
one of them. I rather have Cream III running than II ( but I did
setup II anyway )....

  I'll let you know. Not sure on the version #. It doesn't say on it or the
packaging. I'll see if it says when I load it in.

Hello All!


One of these came by my brother's way... Does anyone out here know of:

A) A file like the various Hard Drive files that lists CD-Rom?  If so where
can I get it from?

B) This drive did not come with any drivers or controller card.  Any info as
to what type of drive this is.  What drivers and card are needed would be
much appreciated.


I have only had expierence with Panasonic CR-562B's... I'm lost...

Hello All!

The are numberous text files out there on the multitude of Hard Drives out on
the market.... Are there any such files for CD-Rom's?  If so does anyone know
where I could FReq one from?

Thanks in advance for any help....

Agree.  But I would not buy a MPEG decompression card (like ReelMagic)
now.. it is too expensive.  The price is expected to drop a lot by next
year..  besides, now there are not much titles available.

I read about it..  it seems to be a very good drive.  SCSI-II, 240ms
access time (not the fastest, but in CD-ROM, transfer rate is much more
important..)  600K/s transfer rate..  1MB buffer (yeah, 1MB.. not 64K,
not 128K, not 256K.. but 1MB.. gee..)  The list price is $549 for
internal version.. but you can probably pay $400+ on street price..

You mean, the buffer number for the CD-ROM, right?  It is on your
autoexec.bat file.. when you load up the line "mscdex.exe"  the
"/m:number" is for the buffers.  But it uses some of your memory.  See
your DOS help for more detail..

Hmm...  a compressed drive should NOT be slower than a CD-ROM..  a
CD-ROM's transfer rate is only 300K/s to 350K/s for a double-speed
CD-ROM..  a hard drive is usually much faster than that even if it is
compressed.  Besides, the access time on a CD-ROM is much slower.
(180ms, the fastest I have seen on a CD-ROM, compare to 8.5ms, the
fastest I have seen on a hard drive.. even a very slow hard drive will
have an access time of 20ms or so..  )

What kind of CPU do you have?  It might slow it down a bit if you have a
slower CPU.. since it takes some CPU power to decompress..

DX4/100??  You might need to change a motherboard for that since the

Can't you just use the correct cable, connect the sound output from the
CD-ROM drive (not the big cable for data.. the small one that you
mentioned..)  And connect that to the sound card's CD sound input..
(also, the really tiny adapter, probably 4-pins..  NOT the SCSI adapter
on it..)  It should work OK..   Don't mind the big data cable, just use
the small one..

Do you have an little audio cable installed??  For music CDs, you need
to connect an audio cable between the CD-ROM drive and the sound card.
(Usually, it is a 4-pin cable.)

IDE CD-ROM has been around for a while.  Gateway 2000 and ZEOS both ship

Are you sure it will work with "any" IDE interface???  I think they will
only work with the new Enhanced IDE standard.

Call the Sierra BBS at 1-209-683-4463, open a capture file, go to
the hints section, select KQ series, select KQ6, then scan all
the hints. Even if you don't use them all, it will save you having

as you can get!

Also: see if your SYSOP can get the FIDO games conference.
It's got KQ hints all the time.

When Iron Helix edits the win & system.ini, it {should} leave a backup of the
files.  Look for some files named win and system.bak, b~k, or any other
extention.  if the are older win and system.ini files, (check the date) rename
them and try to get the other prog working.  If you found the backup, you can
create a batch file to replace the win and system.ini files before you run one
game or another.

Its a great game! But i ran it on my old 386/40 with 512k vid ram and it runs
really slow.. and i'd say a 2x cd-rom is highly recomned too. It has
14levels/tracks. And novic and hardend.. its a great show off game too.

They work great for a BBS. I'm using one and have ordered a second one. You can
also play Music CDs on them without a sound card. (headphone jack on front of
unit).

After reading some of the messages here, I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but
I'll give this a try regardless...
I'm using a SoundBlaster 1.5 and an IBM 2x IDE CD-ROM. The IDE controller card
supplied with the unit does _not_ have one of those 4-pin output jacks. So I've
got a RCA - mini DIN cable currently running from the CD's RCA jacks to the
SB's MIC.
Surprise - It's not working! Is there a way to get music to play through the SB
with this configuration, or should I take a look around and try to find an
interface card _with_ the 4-pinner? _Everything_ else about the unit works,
including the headphone jack when playing music. MSCDEX recognizes it, as does
the Windows MCI driver.
(Parenthetically, I also notice that the volume control on the Windows CD
Player (CD Wizzard - a fine shareware product) also does not function.
Related?)

Thanks for your help,
Bill

Be VERY careful in trying to make a machine run faster than it is designed to.
You start running into RAM problems that can't keep up and will eventually
write an incorrect partition and fat table.  Then you've lost everything.  If
you are going to do it anyway, use a program like Norton or Pctools that will
run mutilple checks on your ram to see at what speed the ram starts to fail.
Then  pick a level just under that for an altered higher speed, but still no
gurantees that you won't lose data and at the worst, the fat table.  I have
seen this happen and was able to duplicate it on some machines...

Good luck!

Sorry to butt in John,

ENJOY!!

This is a bare bones walk through of the start of Myst, and includes informatio
on the Library and Tower.  Not all details are covered, but the main points
required for discovering the clues to the Myst books on the island are included

You arrive on the island at the dock.  Follow the dock to the end by the switch
go up the stairs and turn left.  Follow the path to the stairs at the end.
Turn right and go up the stairs.  You will find a note on the grass in front of
the round granite building.  The note tells you about a chamber near the dock
and what to do there.  You need to know how many marker switches are on the
island.  The switch at the end of the dock was a marker switch and they all loo
the same.  Explore the island and count the switches, turning them "on" as you
go.  You should be able to turn on all but one of the switches.  One is located
in a place you cannot get to yet, but you can see it.

Return to the dock and look for a small door near where you first entered Myst.
Clicking on the door will open it.  Follow the corridor to a chamber.  In the
chamber is a large round device with a button on it. Turn until you are facing
back toward the stairs and notice the small panel to the left of the stairway.
Click on it to move closer.  There is a list of settings on the panel, and a
small button in the top left corner.  Pressing the button causes the panel to
open, revealing two numbers in windows and two sets of small up and down arrow
buttons.  Clicking on the arrow buttons allows you to set the two digit number
in the windows. Set the two digit number to the number of marker switches on th
island, then press the button in the lower right hand corner to close the panel
Go to the large round device and press the button on it.  The message will then
play, giving you part of the story.

Exit the chamber the way you entered and make your way to the Library, the
square, granite building next to the round granite building in front of which
you found the note.  Inside the library you will find a red book and red page,
blue book and blue page, three paintings, a bookcase and a fireplace. Take the
red page and put it on the red book.  Reading the book will give you part of th
story.  Do the same with the blue book and blue page. Examine the painting of
the island.  There is an outline of the major structures and features of the
island on the painting (if you turned on the marker switches) and a flashing
circle.  Click and hold on the flashing circle and a line will begin to rotate
around the circle.  The line will turn red and pause at these points:  the larg
gears on top of the hill near the dock, the sunken boat's crow's nest, the larg
tree, and the rocket ship.  Stop the red line on the large gears.  You will hea
the sound of the tower rotating.  Go to the painting that shows stairs leading
to a corridor and click on it.  The painting will swirl and the bookcase will
open to reveal a secret passage.  Follow the secret passage to an elevator and
take the elevator to the tower.  In the tower you will find two ladders.  One
leads to a narrow window that shows you what you have aimed at.  The other,
located behind the elevator, leads to a clue, bolted to the wall, that is neede
to access the Myst book at the location the tower is aimed at.

Return to the library, rotate the tower to the next spot where the line goes re
and pauses, return to the tower through the secret passage, and get the clue fo
this Myst book location.  Repeat this process until you have all four clues.
Once you have all the clues and are back in the library, click on the painting
that shows an open doorway.  This closes the secret passage and reopens the
library exit.  Before leaving, examine all the books in the bookshelf.  While
most are burned, some are not.  The ones which can be read contain valuable
clues and some actual maps which you will need during the various Ages.  One
book contains hundreds of drawings of squares in patterns.  Leave this book
alone for the moment.  The last item in the library, the fireplace, comes into
play later during the endgame.

 Help!
        Here goes my story about how I broke my Cd-Rom...

        I was playing a new CD that I recived in the mail on my CD-ROM
(computer) and everthing sounded great and that was that.  I exited out of the
program (CD-ROm player for dos) and turn off the computer.
        The next day I turn on the computer and when it booted up, where it
loads the Cd-Rom it just read and read the Cd-Rom and finally it finshed wiht
the rest of the boot.
        Now I thought that was kinda wired...  I desided that I wan't to play a
game.  Go I poped out the new CD in the CD-ROM and put in a GAME CD.  When I
put it in it just kept on trying to read it, it would read it, then stop then
read it, then stop...  Then finaly it would stop and "work".  I when over and
tryed to run the CD-ROM Game, and when I did, it read it, then stoped, read it
then stoped, read it then stop.... ect.  Then it said, please put in Game Cd
and take out the CD CD.  The game CD was already in there?  Soemthing was
wrong.

 Now when I put in ANY cd, it does the same thing, it still thinks i have a CD
CD in there, BUT when I do put in a CD CD it doesn't work, it can't play it or
anything...

 The CD-ROM is a SONY 2x.  It has no help # or any # at that I can call...

The computer seems to be thinking a couple of steps ahead and picks the next
moves that do the most damage.

Notice the worst shapes to form are: Circle, and a L shape, they capture the
most pieces.

I have the demo version of Myst that came with _CD ROM Today_ mag and
can't seem to get it to run. When I load it it tell me that I need to
have 256 colours or more. I am running a Packard Bell Legend 750 and
Myst is under Windows 3.1. The driver I have selected is VGA. When I try
to load any of the other video drivers the screen goes blank. Any ideas
on this?

Cheers,

Steve

I have a friend who bought a new computer with a CR-ROM drive. Each time
he installs any new software, the newly installed software will often
modify his AUTOEXEC.BAT and after doing so, he usually looses access to
his CD.

It appears to me ( correct me if I am wrong ) that if the first two lines
in the autoexec.bat are moved below the @ECHO OFF, then the CD will not
work, as in the below partial samples. The top will work and the bottom
will not.

Why is this so?

He has called me on at least 3 occasions with this problem and each time
I give him the same solution, which always seems to work. However, my
solution does not include the newly installed software and I intend to
get it all running when I go out to visit him in 2 weeks.

Any help or information is appreciated.

Jerry,

All will let you to compile a list and then print labels, except the
American Business Phonebook.  As for search criteria, here are some better
descriptions that hopefully will help.....

 SELECTPHONE * The new 1994 release from the ProPhone people, now has
 millions of updated and brand new listings, making it one of the most
 current directories available.  Every white page directory in the U.S.
 is included!  REVERSE search lets you select listings by name, area code,
 zip code, phone number, address, city, state, business heading, or SIC
 code.  Over 80-million residential and business listings with complete
 addresses that can also be downloaded for bulk mailings.  Includes FREE
 upgrade to next version!  4 CD's

 DIRECTPHONE * 1994 release.  Similar to SelectPhone, except searches can
 be done by name or partial name only, and then "narrowed" to specific
 streets, cities, area codes, zip codes, or states.  All other functions
 are the same.  Includes FREE upgrade to next version!

 FREEPHONE * 1994 release.  Save money on telephone charges by using AT&T's
 toll-free directory on CD.  It gives you instant look-ups of all AT&T's
 toll-free 800 numbers nationwide.  How many times have you called a
 company long-distance only to find out later they had an 800 number?  End
 your frustrations with this directory.  Search by name, address, phone
 number, business headings, or SIC codes.  Includes FREE upgrade to next
 version!  1 CD

 PROPHONE BUSINESS * 1993 release.  Inexpensive business directory on CD
 allows multiple-field searches, and full download features.  Complete
 business names, addresses and phone numbers included.

 AMERICAN BUSINESS PHONEBOOK * 1993/94 release.  A telephone directory for
 virtually every business in the U.S. and Canada.  Complete data from 5000
 yellow-page directories!  Search by company name or phone number, across
 the U.S. and Canada, or in a city, state, or zip code.

 PHONEDISC USA RESIDENTIAL * 1994 release.  The nation's white pages on
 CD-ROM!  Over 81-million total listings, with millions of updates from the
 previous version.  Not sure of the spelling of a name?  Phonedisc's built-
 in cross-reference suggest alternate spellings.  Save listings to disk or
 printer.  Unlimited lookups.  Built-in autodialer.  Searches can be
 narrowed to states, cities, streets, or area codes.

 PHONEDISC USA BUSINESS * 1994 release.  All the powerful features of the
 residential version, with the ability to search businesses through SIC
 codes and/or business types.  Complete addresses with downloading features
 for mailing lists too.

Hope that info heps ya. <g>  Give a shout anytime.

Mike,        Below is a message from the Authors of Selectphone I got it
from the CIS network:



#: 83391 S2/Titles & New Prods  [CDROM]
    26-May-94  13:55:57
Sb: #83043-Select Phone
Fm: Jim Bryant / Pro CD, Inc 71754,3026
To: Jerry Thomson 75530,1417

There are no limits to the number of listings you can export to a printer or
file with Select Phone.

When ordering be sure to specify the 1994 2Q Release, scheduled to ship in 2
weeks. This new edition will include a map link feature that will allow you
also display an unlmited number of slected records on a map of the US. You can
for example visualize a list of all of the Jerry Thomson's on a US map or
better yet a list of all of your customers.

The 2nd Quarter edition will also include over 27 million new business and
residential listings, resulting in the best release we will have shipped to
date. We have also added Zip +4 to all of the records with valid addresses and
provided the ability to search or sort by Zip+4. There is also a filter that
allows you to export selected ranges of listings that contain zip +4 addresses
(this will increase the delivery rate of any mailings you might do with the
listings as all of the Zip + 4 listings have deliverable addresses.) The new
Windows edition 2.0 contains alot of other new features that will enable you
to better use directory listings.

For more info, feel free to contact our customer service line 800-99CD-ROM

That's it Mike...  Just thought I post this for the rest of the folks
deciding on which Phone Directory to purchase.  Since you took the time to
prepare that older message above for me, I told you would buy from you and
I keep my word.  I'd post my work number for you to call me as i get so
darn busy, but don't want it all over the echos.

Long post, but very detailed info...

The graphics are good and the game itself is pretty good too.  The animation
and speech are excellent.

You get to choose from 3 different hi-tech cars in the beginning and after you
complete a mission you win the bosses car in the end of the round.  There are
numerous bonus stages also.  The scenery is excellent.

Myst is all logic,  You can not die, there is no hit points or stats.  If you
like great graphics and want to just use your head to figure things out (all
logically, no give the monkey wrench to the bear with tennis shoes) its a great
game. the ending leaves little to be desired, but hey you got to leave room for
a sequal.

First of all what do you have for your lastdrive statement in your

if the ram drive is e: you could make the cdrom f:
In your autoexec.bat file for MSCDEX on the command line put /L:F
which will make the cdrom as drive F:
If you are using Msdos 6.22 make sure you use that mscdex and not the
on that comes with the drive and point to that drive on your command
lin in your autoexec.bat such as:
C:\DOS\MSCEDEXE /MSCD001 /M:16 /L:F /V  (/E)IF YOU WHAT THE BUFFERS IN

Mine only came backed with a thick piece of paper.  I guess they used the
jewel case for shipping overseas.  And this month's is the same way, but
hard to find in stores.  Anyone know of a Nat'l chain that has lots of these?

Yes, I was being flippant - probably because I'm a little nervous about opening
up the "box."  However, juggling with lines in the autoexec and config. has
taught me a lot about DOS, but with lots more to learn.  The next step is
getting acquainted to the insides.  I plan to remove the drive this weekend and
see if I can exchange it at a computer fair in Oakland.  Yes, that sounds
haphazard too, but the person I got it from.....(long story).

So, by Monday, I may be taking you up on your kind offer.  Thanks.

Terry...

I got Cream II setup and running under Maximus no problem
But when I try to setup Cream III and run the MX_CREAM
program after I answered all the questions I get a
run time error 104 at 000:0264... I've tried severale
times and each time I checked all paths and directories
to make sure they were right but I still get the
run time error....

How about Smartdrv that comes with the latest DOS versions? =) It works

Sorry, you are both wrong. Grolier does the encyclopedia, STW
does the marketing, including OEM. There are different editions
of both, perhaps that is where you are seeing the difference.

I've been reviewing them (professionally) for years and did a
word-for-word comparison years back that was -- well, word for
word.

You take a look at the copyright notice near the opening screen.
That should settle your interest. Cheers!

Well, got a parcel that was FedEx'd thru the APO.. after it was in the
mail app 4 months... looked like it went thru hell too. Just had a local
(Germany) order WildCat 4.0 from Mustang on Tuesday of this week.
Mustang sent it FedEx from Ca. and it was delivered Friday about 14:00
Pretty good eh? So where did the APO go so sour? :-)

Do you possibly sell these Panasonic drives? I have seen you mention
them on several occasions. Reason I'm asling is because I'm looking for
4 of them to add to my bbs. If you do sell them please send me the
price. Just seen the 562-B's for $129 in the Computer Shopper. Can you
beat that?

Hey Brice... did you know that 99.9% of all rapist are male :-))) Geezzz
what point was the 40% guy trying to make here? Does that mean 40% of
the people that watch violence on television will become murderers?

Regarding: Mega Race?
Request Reply: Yes «- Please Reply To -» JOCKO

The games O.K. I got it a couple of months ago. I don't think it's worth what
I paid for it though(about $40).  The graphics are really good and really
smooth considering that the CD-ROM is consently reading the CD.  The sound is
where the game falls short.  The speech on my computer is really choppy and
the sound effects, though good, aren't anything to right home about.  It's an
extremely original game, though.  The main problem I had with the game is
that the CD case was one of those cheap cardboard sleeves(as are most
Software Toolworks games).  If you like Out Run and Spy Hunter, get the game.
If you like battle chess better, and have a fairly fast computer with
Windows, I'd get Star Wars Chess instead(which is also by Software Toolworks).

with is the staircase.  I have been on it for a week and can't
open it. I have figured out the water system and the elevators.
I don't want the answer but if you have a hint on how to open
it, it would be appreciated.

You are right... this is one of the best games I've ever played.

Good question Neal.  It appears Fido was gone comercial.  Course that's the

turning this echo off anyway because of commercialism.. If I wanted to read

It has the doc file under \CDROM\VIEWERS and the zip under \CDROM.
I haven't used it but the CDROM itself is pretty decent.

Stuart,

I would like to get the file list from you. (With descriptions)
I have been collecting the lists and I also make them available for
free downloads to first time callers. (Everyone)

I am cautious with purchasing Shareware & Graphic CDROMS.
I would be spending more money  if I had listings
for all. (Becuase I would know what I was purchasing)

As far as your question is concerned, I have the CREAM OF THE CROP II
CD and I would reccomend it. I have the file listing for
CREAM OF THE CROP III on my BBS but not the ROM.

The nice thing about the CREAM series is that they fill the
CDROM and it has quality stuff that people can use.

Best regards,
           M.J.J.

I might have already replied to you, but I'm not sure.  You have to look
at thebook in the library for the age.  It shows a map with a dotted
line going to the staircase.  Go to the other end of the line and pull a
switch.  It should open a door.

Joe: Im having trouble with my CM 205MS that i ordered from Tiger. It will
only work 1/2 of the time, and it seems like the disc has to be in when the
drive inits when i reboot or when i type dir for the drive it will just sit
there and spin.  Im getting Abort, Retry, Fail on my commands to that drive.
Like i said, it works sometimes..but more of the time it will not work. Im not
sure what is wrong. Thanks!

Hi,
I live in Devonport, NW tasmania, and trading is the only way I can easily get
software. Some people seem to like a COD type situation, or to send packages
via registered post but I have found the best way is to rely on the basic
honesty of people out there, ie agree on the exchange and trust the other party
to follow through.
I hope this works for you!
Regards from Rose

G'day Robert Craddock, In a message on <Aug 07>, you said :

 >> Both CD writers and Worm drives have been for some years.

 RC> So the CD Writer is not a WORM, but a drive that does the
 RC> same thing, that is write's cd'd???

Almost.
They both write to DISKS, but the disks for the Worm drive are not the same as
the CDROM so is not compatable. I believe they are different size and different
recording method.

Hmm....yeah but your pannaray is dbl-spin, whereas the Pioneer is quad-spin.
Also I can't see the use of accessing 4 CD's simultaniously. Even if say a
Pioneer unit was on a network and say 4 nodes wanted files of 4 CD's, it would
process each one in order that it got to the server, and then pump the stuff
down the net. With Remote Access, the files requested from CD-ROM are copied
onto a hard disk anyway.

DR>     like the Pioneer units. They come with controller card and

Is the card interface proprietry? <sp?>

Is the DRM602 a nine or six disc unit?, the reason I ask is the `9 CD's of

(Like if I wanted to connect it to an existing SCSI card)

scsi cd-rom T4101B (low cost toshiba ...), adaptec controller + quantum

MC> By the way corridor7 has to go on your harddrive to work,Try that.
MC>
MC>

I followed the instructions, and told the install routine to install
to my "E:/" drive, which holds all my "shared software."

I got some error message stating the ".exe" file was corrupt.

I used the install command, without telling it what drive to install
to, and the routine asked for that information. The process went
further before finally giving me an error message.

There is definately something wrong with this disk.

In addition, at least one game wouldn't recognize my ProAudio Spectrum
16 card. I think it was SimCity, since SimCity 2000 had the same
problem, and would never run on my computer!!!

I have a Diamond Stealth 24 VLB, ProAudio Spectrum 16 sound card, and
the CD Rom drive that came with that package.

I use OS/2, and that apparently has problems with Microsoft Video for
Windows. I went directly into my "real" Windows, and attempted to
install the CD Rom disk.

I was told I didn't have 256 colors. Wrong!!! Of course, that video
mode was installed through OS/2.

(I use OS/2 for Windows, which works with "the real Windows.")

Very disappointing.

I'm somewhat disappointed with my first experience with this product.

First, Corridor 7 promised to be the most exciting, and wouldn't work.
I'm not the only one with this problem. I used a "Clean boot" disk, to
eliminate the possibility of any conflicts. I use this same disk to run
"Doom" on a regular basis.

Sam and Max wouldn't work. I don't remember the details.

SimCity had problems with my sound card, I believe. I think I finally
got it to run, but it was too blessed slow. I'd hit and hit on an icon,
and wait for it to respond sluggishly.

(Too bad, because this looks exciting to me. I'd like to buy it!)

I don't care about baseball, but played out of frustration.

I don't like playing any game with the keyboard. Scratch pinball. How
the do you quit that game? I had to let the time expire!!!

I had problems installing the "main CD," since Video for Windows is
flaky with OS/2's treatment of windows. I went to the "real Windows,"
but that doesn't know I have a Diamond Stealth 24 VLB video card. It
tells me I can't do 256colors.

We have some bad files on this disk. Now, it's time to waste time and
money in an effort to fix the problem. If you buy something, the
purchase price should guarantee you get the product, or they should
reimburse you for long distance phone calls, stamps, etc., when you try
to get your money's worth!

I just wanted to let you know that I received your check on 8-9-94
and I deposited it the same day. I am waiting for the bank to let
me know when it clears and I will send you the CD-rom on that day.
I think at the latest it should go out on August 17, 1994. Thanks.

I think I seee a couple problems with the setup. The normal location for the
@Echo off statement is at the top of the Autoexec.bat    This causes a lot of
the garbage to not show on the screen as the Autoexec.bat is executing. You
will still see the Status messages when each program has loaded but not the
statement that actualy tells the program to run. Just leave the @Echo off at
the top. Next he has set the Temp variable to C:\Dos\Temp      I doubt very
much if this directory even exists. In the original Autoexec.bat the Temp
variable was set to C:\Dos    Even this is not a good idea.  Redo this line to
read Set Temp=C:\Temp     This will allow programs that use temporary files to
put these temporary files in the C:\Temp subdirectory and not in the C:\Dos
subdirectory. C:\Dos is just that, all your MS Dos files. You wouln't want a
bunch of temporary files cluttering up the Dos subdirectory and sometimes when
a program crashes it doesn't delete these temporary files as it is supposed to
and pretty soon you have a bunch of them in your C:\dos directory. Better if
they are in a TEMP directory where you can see them all by themselves and
delete them occasionaly. Of course if you don't already have a C:\Temp
subdirectory you should create one.  Next   you have a statement CLMODE m7
This by itself means nothing to the computer. The statement should be
C:\CLUTIL\CLMODE m7       The subdirectory where this clmode is located was
left off of the Autoexec.bat that doesn't work. I think this should get it
working if the first Autoexec you showed did. Good luck  Don Austin W7SB

        Nope. I don't have a windows card, and I can run Multimedia
"Required" software.. I have a VGA 640x480 monitor, but a SVGA 1meg
1024x728 card, a single speed cd-rom (in a couple of days it'll be a
2x..), an 8-bit sound card, and a dx2-66.. I never had to have a windows

 That would be great, Nick!  I've read about a walkthru here
 before but the only walkthru I can find on the CD is a very
 short one - it only walks you through a little bit of the Isle
 of Wonder and ends before you even leave the island.  If you
 have something a bit more comprehensive, it would REALLY be
 appreciated!  Many thanks, in advance....

Joey, I'm not sure about loading to the hard drive since I never
opened the shrink wrap! But, if it plays the same as EOBIII, it loads on
and it only accesses the cd on rare occasions. So, ya wanna do it?
I'll get the disk in the mail tomorrow. My address:
D. Weiss, 818 E. 8th Pl., Mesa, Az. 85203. Thanks...btw, I do have the
World of Xeen, but it's all on disks. Great program.

Wait til' ol' 'Dickie' has to put up with all the chatter that will surround
the 'XXX' release of 'Busty Babes III' due out 9/94--

..and to think the computer mags allow the words 'Busty Babes', so how bad
could those words be if they are not even being censored in print ? I enjoyed

The walhthrough that I have is only a text file, it tells you what to
do.  I beat the game without it but had to call the Sierra BBS to get
hints. The number is in the instruction manual (in the Jewel Case).
It's LD to California.  You can just E-Mail me here if you want more
hints.  To get saltwater you need the hunters lamp, and a milk bottle
from the milkweed bush.  Give the milk bottle to a baby cabbage in the
garden and collect the tears with the hunters lamp, or the teacup.  The
coal is on the isle of mist.  You first have to give one to the queens
in checkerboard land.  They will give you an egg, it acts as the sulfur.
Did you make it through the Catacombs and past the Minitaur?, thats how
you get to the island of Mist.  I can't remember the rest of your
message, I'll read it again and send you more E-Mail.

Hi, me again. The river Styx water is in the Dead place.  To get there
you have to use the Charm a Creature of The Night spell on the black
horse on the Logic Cliffs.

The hunters lamp acts as the teapot.  I think you need to get past the
Minataur.  Have you done that?  Well I hope I gave you 1 hint.

It's not that you don't get the same ending, it's just that you don't
get to see all of the video clips because you never really solve all of
the puzzles.  You basically don't get to see the story.

Hi,

A short request for titles.  Does anyone know of a good CD-ROM title that I
can get that has lots of business style clips, both serious and comical, of p
eople doing things in the office like answering phones, typing on computers,
holding meeting, and the like.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Paul Merrill

      I called Lee at Queen Of Hearts BBS in Florida and this is a quote
    from her answer to me.

BB Vol I has 'Graphic Software' on the disc, that was release 1.0, release
2.0 had same cover without those words on it, release 3.0 has fire flames in
the front cover fonts.

    Hope this helps...

Well, I'm obviously not from Canada. However, I was surprised to find
Cd Rom today at the local grocery store. They have more computer
magazines than I've seen at other "non-computer" stores!!!

I was glad because our little town of Tarpon Springs is one of those
little tourist towns, and the nearest "significant" dealer is maybe 20
miles away in Tampa!

I don't bother remembering model numbers, and can't find the proper
documentation to look it up. Is this the CD rom drive that comes with
Mediavision's Fusion Double Cd-16 and the ProAudio Spectrum card?!

If it is, you can probably download the drivers from a decent local
bbs, or from Mediavision.

Come to think of it, the drivers should have come with the CD Rom
drive!!! It's only the OS/2 drivers that don't come in the box!!!

Hi Charles!

I'm new here, but just recently acquired a Mitsumi CD-rom and am having lots of
problems accessing it in OS/2!  The Mscex drivers works fine as far as running
it in true dos, but in the Dos windows under os/2, it keeps coming up with
"incorrect" dos version.  I've got the OS/2 CD drivers installed, but still
cannot access the cd.  I would like to eventually add the CD as a resource to
my board, (I run Maximus under OS/2) and so need something that will allow
access in OS/2.  Do you know where I can obtain such a driver?

Thanx Loads!
Leon

Have you tried removing other drivers one by one from you config.sys
and/or autoexec.bat. Also you might try loading the driver for the
cd-rom without the devicehigh command if you are doing that, I saw a
similar problem with Mitsumi Drive.
Also I had my sound card setup as IRQ 7, which is the same as LPT1 and
it caused the same problem you are seeing with Dracual Unleashed.
So you might verify you are not using the same IRQ and DMA channels on
another card in your system.

No, it is not a must, I have a Trident 8900 16 bit card and have not
had a problem with running anything for over a year. It will depend on
the speed of you system though. If you have a 486-33 then no problem,
but if you have a 386-16 then the video will be choppy. I did run it on
a 386-40 and the video was very very slightly choppy, but not enough to
effect it.

  Thank You very much Michael; but, a few days ago I took care of the problem.
I returned the Mitsumi drive. I had to mail it back I'll NEVER buy any
hardware again through the mail. II got a Reveal Double speed CDrom with
everything at a local Computer store for just a bit more than the other one. I
think that I got an even better deal because I've now got the support just a
local phone call away and all.
             Sincerely,

  Thankyou everyone, you've each offered some really great advice on helping
me with my Mitsumi drive. I took care of the problem by returning the Mitsumi
drive (I had to mail it back because that's how I got it). I bought a Reveal
Double speed CD with a much better card Locally for just slightly higher than
I paid for the Mitsumi drive through the mail. The Reveal even came with a
Video that was of great help; it's all inatalled!!! Yippee! I was going crazy
until I read some of your advice wich helped a LOT
                              Thank you VEERY much,

He probably bought the game because he wanted to challange his mind. And becaus
of that, I'm sure he can decide for himself if he want to read it, take a few
hints from it, or solve it.  The first age can be confusing until you solve a
few puzzles (for most people).

GW>my computer did NOT see the CD drive. I'm going crazy! We

GW>one of them though. Could there be a conflict? I tried
GW>eliminating my bus mouse just to see if it was causing the
GW>conflict. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated.

 In order to help you I need more information.  If you would
 give me your config.sys and autoexec.bat I may be able to
 help.  Usually, the CD tries to use DMA 1, IRQ 7 or 5, and
 then some base address.  When you removed your bus mouse,
 did you just not plug it in or did you rem out the driver
 as well?  Does this computer have a sound card?  If so, what
 type and what are the setting for it?  I need more info!

I just bought one for the BBS.  It's great!  I paid $50 for the drive, cables
and SCSI interface.  Amazing!  It's a Phillip's single spin and is plenty fast
enough for a BBS.

Tiger's number is 1-800-238-4437.   I'm seriously considering putting a second
one online.

Hi Roger,

RK>other programs. To me it looks like they use the reviews in the back of
RK>the magazine for the source of info. But I think it's understandable,
RK>given the amount info to keep track of on the CD, plus it's only the
RK>third issue with the CD.

I'll be watching for the next issue of the magazine for sure.  Our
friend with the 486/25 needs to buy more memory chips - hasn't got the
magazine CD's to load as yet.  Magazine CD's will likely get a lot more
criticism than they deserve from people who need to make changes in
their computer equipment or setup.

There are more new CD magazines mentioned in CD-ROM World (printed) with
a quote from Blender "everyone is entitled to his 15 megabytes of fame."
On another page, Arizona State University launched the first accredited
college course contained entirely on CD - Instructional Media Design.

Ok, I will probably be in this week.  I went out to shoot it today.  It
worked pretty good.  I used both clips, and you were rightabout the new
one.  I had it firing about 6-8 shots at a time for a while.  I only
fired about 200 rounds, so it needs to be broken in a little more.
Anyways, you have to ask the sysop here about raising your security to
the OTBC.  If you want to get special privilidges.

I recently got one from Trans-Ameritech, 408-727-3883 phone, -3882 fax.  I
don't remember how much it cost ($35-$45 maybe?  If I remember right, you get a
discount if you saw their ad on the internet).  It's the 1.0 kernel Slackware
release; the CD says "Release 3 April 1994" [If you hold out maybe another
release is forthcoming?  I don't know].

I had a bit of trouble getting a kernel to boot off my hard drive, but they
were happy to help me via internet email (though the problem isn't quite
resolved yet, it's not their fault in particular, it's just my hardware and
Linux itself not getting along.  But they're trying! :-)).  It's got a lot of
the goodies though and a live filesystem you can mount off the CD-ROM.  So far
I'm happy with it.

There are a lot of vendors who sell Linux on CD-ROM; there is a list being
maintained in a FAQ file in one of the comp.os.linux newsgroups (sorry I don't
have it with me right now otherwise I'd post the relevant parts here).  Also
look in this month's Nuts & Volts, there is an article in it about Linux with a
list of vendors and phone #s.

Good luck,
Peter

 Haven't seen a file like that but may be able to help with the NEC
 CDrom (55jd).  Pretty much every CDrom out of NEC is SCSI.  So
 coming up with a SB with an SCSI port or a PAS16 with a SCSI
 port or any of a number of SCSI controllers would be the way
 to go and the drivers should come with the card.

So what is on the DOOM COMPANION CD? Can someone give me some real info?
 Are there Pwads? If so how many(megs). are there editors, graphics,
what? If all of the above, how much space is actually utilized on the

 I was trying to avoid calling the Sierra BBS... but I have the

 Yep... got through the catacombs and did my thing on the Isle of
 Mist - got the coal and scythe.  However, I THINK I'm supposed
 to go back there but every time I land on the Isle, two cloaked
 figures grab me and I'm toast!  Maybe if I return with the rain
 making potion, I will be accepted?

 Thanks for the hints, JJ - they're invaluable...

 It DOES look remarkably like a teapot!  Well...  looks like I'll

Jerry, Multimedia mainly consists of a sound card, (16 bit) are better, and a
CD-Rom, The Windows Card, I take it you are talking about a accelerator card,
right, not required but is nice, seeing the more you add to windows,
escpecially true type fonts, the slower it gets, but the accellerator card
does make a BIG difference. You may need to upgrade your video memory, to at
least 1 to 2 megs, some of the newer programs coming out require that as a
minimum, this is usually on the accelrator card too. Prices for the accel card
range from I think 80.00 on up. Hope this will help you out, talk to ya later,
CJ

I have noticed that a lot of people has had trouble installing their  Mitsumi
CD-ROM drive.  Here is a tip that may help.

When you use the disk to install the drive you do not want to install the
MTMCDAE.SYS if you have the internal drive.  The MTMCDAE is for the external
drive.

If you have the internal drive you want to install the
MTMCDAS.SYS file.

Hello!

I have a small problem with my HItachi CD-ROM on a PS/2 model 80. (Using and
adaptec 1640 scsi adaptor).

I took me over a week to figure a way to access that cd and now I can access
it but whatever i do, it goes back to the root directory. I can change
directory, but as soon as I do DIR command, it will go back to root directory.
Any suggestions? Anyone as seen that before?

Hi All , How are you?
        I understand that because the IBM PS/2 model 70 is a microchannel
        type compter, but I was wondering if there is anyway one can install
        a CD-ROM drive, I think external.  If I were to install one, would
        I have to purchase a special card or have something specially made?
