Maybe you want a 14" job. As far as I know the 21" is the largest

Subj: Critical path hlep neede Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
MN>How good is Critical Path? What's the concept?
Critical Path has been called an "interruptible movie" and represents
a kind of game that could only exist on CD-ROM. The player's job
is to guide a downed chopper pilot named Kat through the military
complex of a deranged dictator.
The gameplay involves watching a quick time movie from a "control
room" where you can alter some of the traps in the compound,
determining how to help KAT in her current situation, selecting the
right codes in the control room, then watching the outcome. If you
choose the right option, then KAT survives and moves into the next
scene. If you did not, than KAT looses one of her 9 lives and you
repeat the scene.
While interactivity is much less in this movie-game than many others
out there, the 186MB worth of 16bit (65K colors) QuickTime movies are
of a higher quality than just about any other CD game I've seen. Live
actors, anamation, and rendered backgrounds are all mixed seamlessly.
I got my game for $24.95 from Surplus Software (1-800-753-7877).
Although I've usually seen it for about $49.00, I don't think
it's worth much more than 25-30 for one major reason: almost no replay
value. Same options (mostly). Same movies.
Hope this helps some,
Jeremy in Chicago. NRN.

RK>I'm somewhat disappointed with my first experience with this product.
Ron,
After looking a Disc 2 I got a subscription to CD-ROM Today. I reciverd
disc 3 about a week ago.
I think both the mag and the discs are great.
I did have a problem running the Raymond Feist interview, but once I
installed the new Video for Windows driver on the disk it ran fine.
Corridor ran with any mods to my system setup.
The copy of Leonardo on disc 3 ran very slow, but the version on
the second disc ran fine.
In fact everything on the discs seem to work great.
RK>First, Corridor 7 promised to be the most exciting, and wouldn't work.
RK>I'm not the only one with this problem. I used a "Clean boot" disk, to
RK>eliminate the possibility of any conflicts. I use this same disk to run
RK>"Doom" on a regular basis.
RK>We have some bad files on this disk. Now, it's time to waste time and
RK>money in an effort to fix the problem. If you buy something, the
RK>purchase price should guarantee you get the product, or they should
RK>reimburse you for long distance phone calls, stamps, etc., when you try
RK>to get your money's worth!

I like the fact that they are going monthly. Hoplefully they will
continue to have lots of interesting demos and shareware. Why can't your

just checked the magazine.
ER>Magazine CD's will likely get a lot more

That is my feeling too. So I haven't had any problems with any of the
four CDs (the last issue came with two). Some of the multimedia stuff
might be 'choppy' but that's because of MY system.

I was at a computer shop recently and saw Star Trek VI running full screen on a
computer. While I have seen this before running on a demo MPEG
compression/decompression board, this one was different. The disc in the CD
drive was a CDi disk, and the movie was playing as a CDi device in the Windows
Media Player. I am wondering: does this require a special CDi capable CDROM
drive? Or is the CDi format readable by DOS and simply requires a proper Media
Player MCI driver?
Thanks for your replies.
Dave...

Thankyou for your help. I sent the Mitsumi Drive back to the company and bought
a Raveal (Panasonic) 2x CDrom. The new one cost a few dollars more but it was
worth it. It came with somthing that was missing from the Mitsumi; it came with
detailed instructions. The setup seemed to be prettymuch the same as the
Mitsumi. The REAL difference was though that it WORKS very well. I learned a
valuable lesson; it's always better to buy hardware locally than buying it
mail-order because there is SERVICE.
Thankyou very much for your advice and help

Actually, from what a saw, it's a 90's version of Pole Position. Ever notice
how the screen never shifts and only your car does? Brings back memories of
Pole Position.. Execpt more impressive. I guess it's just a game with Full
Motion Video. Well, the one I've seen was on the 3D0 and I would have to say
the graphics engine on a 3DO has to be better than most IBMs.

I was wondering if anyone out there owns a Mitsumi 2x drive. I am not sure of
the model number but I think they only make 1 kind? Oh well, anyways, I was
wondering if any of you happen to have any problems with the drive, or has
heard or read somewhere that the drive has some problems. I was told this by
someone and now I am holding back before I go and get disappointed with an
unreliable drive. I was considering either Mitsumi or Panasonic.. Yes, the
cheapest ones with it's own interface.. Anyways, what are the benefits of
Triple Speed? Thanks. I am new to this so don't mind me if I don't know
ANYTHING about drives.

Sam and Max runs fine on a 486/33 with 8 meg RAM, QEMM and a very old SB
Pro sound card with default settings and old single speed CD drive,
though the dialogue sound isn't as good as the music. Have you tried
making a boot up disk described in the readme file for games on the
CD-ROM? What sound card are you using?
QEMM book page 62. On the command line, try DMA=64
Our regular salesman at the computer store bought the CD-ROM Today
magazine for his home computer. It will give him an idea of the
equipment and setup customers need beyond the basic purchase of a CD-ROM
unit.

Well, from what I see his reference to MSCDEX and yours are essentially
the same, except for your drivers and the "v" switch (which is optional)
LH /L:1,36224 C:\dos\mscdex /d:TSLCD /m:10
He has a 3x speed CD-ROM and I THINK it has a SCSI 2 interface.
(At least that is what I recommended to him before he bought the
system and he does have a directory which is called "TSCSI") Would
that have any bearing on this?
I'll just have to see what I can find out once I get there next week
(California). It will be a lot easier to find the problem when the
system is in front of me. This guessing before I get there adds too much
to the problem. Once I get his new software re-installed, then I will
work on straightening out the CD-ROM drive problem.
Will let you know what I find out.
Thanks for your help.

OK. If we do any deals in the future, I'll send it registered again. It is

Has it been shipped to me yet? I preordered awhile ago. If not (or even if
so), please also send Night Owl 13 and bill me. Hopefully, we've done enough
business together that this shouldn't be a problem? If it is, please let me

My father is interested in attempting to trace our family origins, and
would like to know about Geneology Software.
We would be interested in both Shareware and Commercial titles, and
recommendations concerning the features or advantages of each.
We have access to a CD rom, in addition to disk formats. My father
will be doing most of the work, and probably can't run Windows (386SX
with 2MEG ram.).
We have one advantage, a book someone commissioned titled :
Knights Across America.
This lists the names and addresses of all* people with our last name
at the time the book was printed. Our name is somewhat unusual, with
only about 400 in the entire US. (Of course, this list didn't include
my name, since it was probably taken from telephone books. I
traditionally have unlisted phone numbers.)

I think CD magazines should follow the same rules as for "regular
software" in a box:
Post a clear notice concerning the requirements for operating the
included software.
A clear example: at least one game informed me I needed a 256color
video card. It wasn't smart enough to know I already had one, but the
configuration was goofy.
This type of problem was encountered when I got all my "free" software
with my multi-media upgrade kit.
That warning should have been posted *clearly* on the outside of the
box. I might have purchased another company's package.
As it was, this *free* software cost me another $200 for a better
video card. Most of it turned out to be junk after all!!!

1. cd-i, the whole name is compact disc interactive, that means CD-I can
play interactive games, movie etc. so cd-i is not only sound and resolution.
The sound and resolution is depend on the game/movie design.
2. SONY CDU-33A is cd-rom XA that can read cd-i/photo cd, it can also
connect to Reel Magic to play mpeg-1 format movie cd-rom disc, the Reel Magic
card is about $26xx without sound card, if with sound card(SB16) is about
$3xxx. Is the new cd-rom drive is Panasonic 506? It is a SCSI cd-rom drive and
I don't know it can read cd-i, but the only thing is mpeg-1 cd-rom can only
read by two cd-rom drive, one is sony CDU-33A, the other is Wearbers CDD-110.
Bye!

You needs Reelmagic card but not Sony CDU-33A drive, just a normal cd-rom drive
can do that. The Sony only needs when playing CD-I movies.

CD-I format is based on Sony and Philips CD-ROM first.
Now, Plextor 4Plex quatra speed can also support CD-I.

Nick....if you find someone selling you a 24 inch monitor in
working condition for under $200, heck, even $300.....I'll take
one, also!
Realistically - I believe you probably meant a 14 inch? New,
they go for around $250, depending on the brand and
features....used, you might be able to find one for that
price. COMPUSALE and FOR-SALE might be better echoes to try
this question in, though.

If you are using MS-DOS 6.2, Joe - all this is spelled out in
the README file that comes with DOOM. DOOM prefers to operate
in EXTENDED MEMORY....not expanded memory.
So, don't load the expanded memory manager - EMM386. To do
this, you have several options - probably the easiest to me, is
to re-boot the computer, press F8 after the initial BIOS Screen
- this will tell DOS that you wish to choose which lines of the
config.sys and autoexec.bat files you want to load.
Go through each one, and DO NOT LOAD the line that looks like:
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE
This program creates expanded memory - with only 4 megs total
on your machine, you can't afford to give ANY memory to
expanded memory!
If you haven't read through that README file.....please do so
asap....it might save you grief later on!
... When all else fails, read the instructions...

Hi, Korene. I have a question and I though you might be able to help me.
In April this year, I purchase a modem from a guy in Minnepolis. The modem
is supposed to be in a shrink-wrapped factory-sealed package. When I
received the package by Priority Mail, the modem package was shrink-wrapped.
But, when I opened it, there was no modem inside. I later purchased a same
modem from a local retailer and compared their contents. Three things were
missing in the package I received through mail:
1. The modem.
2. Phone cable.
3. Utility diskette.
I tried to get my money back to no avail. The outer mailing package,
which he used to ship the modem to me, has postal red-ink stamp, bar code and
some numbers on it. Can I use these numbers to find out how much the shipping
weight was? Did post-office keep shipping records for Priority Mail? What
I'm trying to do is to establish evidence that the package he sent out was
below normal weight (the modem is about 7 ounces). If there information is
not available, do I have enough evidence to nail him? Your opinion is greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

Does this CLMODE program have anything to do with the CD-ROM? Because
in the first one, you are telling DOS which directory to look for CLMODE
in,
but in the second one you are not, and it won't load(unless its in the root

Hello All,
I just recently purchased a Mitsumi FX-001D internal CD-Rom and am having
problems installing it into a Packard Bell Legend 2270 Tower. I had no problems
mounting it nor installing the software. I get the same problem every time I
reboot. At the very end of the Autoexec.bat I will get the message that:
Device Driver not found: 'MSCD001'.
No valid CD-ROM device drivers selected
In my config.sys I have the following:
Device=c:\Dev\MTMCDAE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:300 /A:0 /M:20 /T:5 /I:10
In my Autoexec.bat I have the following:
c:\Bin\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:10 /L:F
I have checked all connections as well as settings and jumpers on the board and
everything seems fine. Anybody have any clues as too what I might be doing
wrong?
Well..... Hope for a reply soon ;)

Well as a new subscriber myself. Which took 7 weeks to see my
first issue and at the time I was promised Disk #1 and #2 would
be included with my subscription. But now am told that there are
no more back issues of the disks. Getting the magazine with a
poorly packaged disk really got me mad!! I understand that $7.95
is cheap for what I am getting. If I could buy the magazine in
a book store which in our area are none. (L.A. area) I would feel
better to pay newsstand price and knowing our mail system won't
destroy the disks trying to jam them in a mail box or leaving it
exposed to the weather. The only reason I first signed up was
after a friend loaned me the disk #1 and the magazine I was
hooked. Disk #3 is a dissappointing issue. I know the company
has recently moved and poorly staffed. Voice mail box is always
full. They never return your calls. I still wondering when the
issue is going to be monthly like earlier promised.

Two things could be the cause and just about covers everything.......
1) CD-rom went bad(maybe, but probably #2)
2) Sound card or i/f card is bad
There always the chance the laser aperture is dirty. Get a can of compressed
air for computers and try it. If your under some warranty, use it. If you can
try the components in another system. -----Bill

Appreciate the info. How about some a number for Insight? And does that drive
use a caddy? I've seen a few ads for it but they don't say one way or the

Maybe you could give me a pointer on beating the 8th track. Can't
remember the name of it but it's the first one which you race against
all the fastest cars and you'd really need lots of speed... The best
(after play over 50 times) I get to is just see the gang leader as a dot
when I come to the end of 3 laps.... :(
Does the car selection matter in this game? If so what are important?

Well, my reasoning was it was $59 for all three.. Normally, a bundle
like that is discounted off the original price.. So, It'd be about
$20-25 a cd.. However, pay no attention to the fool in the corner with

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I have had a Mitsumi FX001D cd drive for some months now and it works just
fine. I comes with it's own interface although it is not a sound card other
than it will play sound CD's. A couple of caveats though. If you hook it up to
most of the after market sound cards the audio cable is reversed from what most
sound cards have. the number one pin is where the number 4 should be. Just have
to pull the little plugs out and reverse them. A little small but it can be
done. Some electronic stores and computor places sell replacement cables that
reverse the wiring on the cable. No biggy. Some earlier sound cards do not
support the newer double speed Mitsumi's. Just the older single speeds so make
sure the sound card you may buy does support the newer Mitsumi. The drive tests
out here to about 307 throughput and a little less than 250 access time. I like
it. Don W7SB

Jim,
I was the one who originally wrote the top part about release 6 for
$25.. Well, I don't know how it was thought, but I was saying that there
IS a Software Toolworks Encylopedia and a Grolier's Enclyopedia..
However, one's the Illustrated and Grolier's Multimedia.. They maybe the
same company, but there are two different ones.. I was just making a
point that Grolier's has one, and STW has another... May have the same
words, but the Grolier's Multimedia has a whole lot more in terms of
information I think cause of the animations and video clips...

Subj: "the wrong Bill English..." Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
On 08-11-94 23:16, Bill English said to Laurie Batt:
BE>Sorry, but I think that you have the wrong Bill English...
Actually, Bill, he _doesn't_ have the wrong Bill English. The real
"wrong" Bill English is the "real wrong" Bill English, a person who has
abused this and the CDROM SALES echos with a series of (seemingly unending)
mindless vituperative attacks on a CD dealer, Brice Fleckenstein.
If you still do not understand this diatribe, let me very briefly say:
Brice mishandled the "real wrong" Bill English's order. He made attempts
to rectify his mistake, including responses to the "flames"; the "real
wrong" Bill English claims he never received any of those messages. In
fact, he claims that respected individuals in these echos who report they
have seen the messages are wrong - that they saw the messages after the
fact, so to speak. While he has received a complete refund, he continues
to spew his message when he perceives opportunities.
As to your concern, posted in one of three messages in which you
responded to what you thought were attacks on you, let me assure you that
while at first glance you might be mistaken for the "real wrong" Bill
English, there are significant differences! The "real wrong" Bill English
is sysop of BillBoard BBS, in Sagamihara, Japan. You are sysop and CEO of
UFINET News and Information Services, located in Cloudcroft, New Mexico
(1:308/220.0).
Now, Bill, you have caused me a terrible dilemma! In self-defense, I
put the "real wrong" Bill English in all of my Twit files (From, To,
Subject, and MessageBody). At the time I did that, I posted a public
apology to all the Bill Englishes whom I would "cut off" without their ever
having done anything to justify such drastic action. Obviously, you did
not check the echo then, so were not aware of being "cut off". Bill, I
will not remove the "real wrong" Bill English from my twit lists; this
means I will miss _all_ messages having to do with you (unless the same
kind of unlikely accident occurs such as the one which brought one of your
messages to my attention). I sincerely regret this, because you seem to be
exactly the kind of reasonable, courteous person whose contributions in
these echos I seek out and enjoy. You (and any other "right" Bill English)
can only get through these filters by directing echo messages directly to
me, or sending netmail to me.
Bill, did you intend to access either the CDROM or CDROM SALES echo? I
hope you intended to offer for sale either CDs or a Toshiba 1401 CD drive;
these are the items which have my interest right now.
Good Day!

MS>RD>there are an what are the version numbers?
MS>To date, there have been four incarnations of Busty Babes:

Mike, in regards to BB vol 1, how does one tell which version a CD is?
I'm looking at one that displays _no_ version info, just the volume number
(and, of course, LDI and it's address and phones) with no release/version
number or date. All the discussion about the "value" of a particular
version makes me wonder they are identified.

I found and decided to use a walk through, but I believe there is an error in

I have 207/255 points, but I need the arrows. I know you are supposed to pick
them up after the BOWMAN leaves, but on this screen is where it screws up. In
the DROPPED ITEMS box, EVERYTHING appears. But not all the time. Somethimes
it's just a few things, sometimes even my map shows up in there. My Inventory
shows everything is still there, and I have the bow, but I've gotten to the
point where I need the arrows. If I fool around enough on this screen, It
exits to dos very quickly. ( the screen in the woods.)
If anyone knows a way to get arrows, by a fix, cheat, or otherwise, please tell
me. If anyone knows any way to get past the HAND that you are supposed to
shoot with the arrows, PLEASE TELL ME!!!. I wish to end this game, so I can
sell it, I already have a buyer. I just want to see the end.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Why install the MTMCDAE.sys, this does not use a DMA channel and the

Also what version of MTMCDAE do you have, Mine is 1.13, and was

Hi BILL ENGLISH! How are you?
I was lurking in the CD ROM ECHO area, when I stumbled
across your words of wisdom about "Beware of Brice"
in your msg to ALL, on the 08/15/94...
******************************************************
BE> The Credit card Company said beware of Dealers who DO NOT take cr
BE> cards, but wants cash/Checks.
While the rest of your post may be fair enough I feel the above
statement by the credit card company is self-serving in the extreme -
remember they are selling a product many many people find life
destroying eventually.
I am a computer reseller. I design and assemble desktops and
networks, programme, in a good month sell 20 computers, and
advertise on regional TV. I am a member of several industry
organisations. (I'm not bragging or advertising - just trying to
place myself in the scale of the market for you.)
I have been able to significantly reduce overheads by dealing with
the majority of my suppliers (C)ash (B)efore (D)elivery. They give
me a lower price for the reduced risk as well.
I take most client's payments in advance - that way the supplier
never faces risk and neither do I. Risk is minimised and borne by
the client - otherwise a supplier is required to have cash reserves
equal to his outstanding billing terms to survive - or sell the
liability at a discount to a financial services company - and again
make less, or carry bad debt insurance - once again at a cost that
must be borne by the hapless customer. We all pay for the bad eggs.
In order to pass on profits of only 10-15% and remain competitive with
the super stores I do NOT take credit cards as they charge 3.5% to 5%
on turnover! Many other dealers I know do the same thing. I did know
a dealer a year ago who even paid for his stock with a credit card -
a year later he is out of business - I am thriving.
The credit company, to say what it did and therefore promote it's
product while constructing false towers of legitimacy, was INSULTING
to the many members of the computer industry like myself who conduct
their businesses honestly, and value knowledge of product and service
to the customer!
And remember - this is also a business where more often than not it is
the customer, not the dealer, who validates the cliche "buyers are
liars!"
Ok, I feel better now, get back to what you were doing... :-)

I have one of these drives and it works just fine in my 386-40 clone. I don't
see a thing wrong with your two statements in your config and autoexec files.
Other than, you have the /L:F in the Autoexec. This indicates the drives
letter you want to assign to the cd. This should be one drives higher than any
other drive letter in the computer including ram drives. In other words in
order to have the cd set to "F" you would need a "C D E" hard drives and than
the cd would be "F". If you had a ramdrive you would have "C D" hard drives
and the ramdrive would be "E" and then the cd would be "F". If this is not the
case you must set the /L: statement to the aformentioned one drive letter
higher than the last one in your system. If you have this all ok you may have a
Lastdrive statement in you Config.sys that is set lower than you need. Set the
Lastrdrive statement to one more than you actualy have or at least the same. If
you have it set less than the CD dos won't look for it and the MSCDEX will
probably fail. Make sure the two drivers MTMCDAE.sys and MSCDEX.exe are in the
subdirectories mentioned. Luck. Don W7SB

Hello All,
Is there any kind of documentation on the files.bbs format. By looking at the
various BBS ready cd's available I see that there is not one set standard for
this text file. Actually they take on a few different forms. For instance you
have one disc that will have a 1 line description like this;
1234.zip This is a zip file.
and then you have this.
1234.zip 100,000 01-01-94 This is a zip file.
and then you have this
1234.zip [0] this is a zip file.
While does this file take on so many formats. Is this something that should be
standard accross the board. In my last example you will see this '[0]'. Exactly
what does this mean? It is included in all of the descriptions but what purpose
does it serve.
I just wish that all the people putting these cd's together could adapt to one
standard and if the standard is improved then every one moves forward rather
than just a few. If such documentation exists can you pass along a freq name so
I can pick it up from you.

Thanks that helps alot, I have a 486/25 with a 1 meg local video bus, and a
mother board thats expandable to 32 meg. I was hoping that this system would
just be able to add something like the gameblaster CD-ROM add on.

Help with Indiana Jones. I am at the digsite and I can go down the ladder. I
can turn on the generator. I found the mural by scrapping off the dirt and I
found the bead in the jar. I can't figure out what to do next. If I try to
climb back up the ladder I get shot at.
When I am with the girl on the different path, I gave food to the begger and he

I've heard mixed views on the Mitsumi 2X CD drive, so you may be better off
getting the Panasonic. As for triple speed drives, there really isn't much of
a benefit (at least not from a gaming perspective), since most software isn't
written to take advantage of the additional speed -- also another thing to
consider is that many of the top companies are bypassing the 3X drives and
manufacturing 4X drives (at present time: Philips, Plextor, Panasonic, and
Pioneer).

Marshall,
This information is incorrect. The MTMCDAE.sys driver is for
DMA or interrupt driven use, the MTMCDAS.sys driver is for software
polling only. The DMA or interrupt driver works best, but requires an
available interrupt and/or DMA channel to work. Mitsumi does not sell
any external CD-ROM drives, and in any case, external drives look like
internal drives but use a different cabling arrangement to move power
and signals around.

Everything works except QuickTime. I can get sounds to play with every

can use programs which play all manner of sound files like VOC, WAV,

must be the only person in the world with this problem because I
haven't heard from anybody else who can't get it to work.
The MCI driver loaded properly in the SYSTEM.ini file and everything

I have an internal Mitsumi FX-001D (2x) drive. I haven't had _any_ problems
with the drive, either under OS/2 (with the drivers available from MITFX.ZIP,
found on many OS/2 BBSes) or DOS (using both DOS drivers).

The VGA driver that comes with Windows will run windows in only 640x480 @ 16.
The only way you can Run windows at 640x480 @ 256 is to have 512k od video
memory, and a driver from your video card manuf. first, run a prog like MSD
(Comes with dos and Windows, run the latest version you have) and choose to
display video info. It should tell you chipset, brand, model, and video
memory. if it says you have 512k or more as appposed to 256k, you are able
to run at the higher mode. Next, contact the company for a driver update for
your model.

first, in the second set of instructions you forgot to add the loacation of
CLMODE. If it's a CD driver, it might be a problem. Change it to
C:\CLUTIL\CLMODE m7. also, try loading the MSCDEX driver high. Make sure
himem.sys is in your config.sys. if not, make the first line after anything
like @echo off: DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
Then add the line DOS=HIGH
Now, edit the line to load the MSCDEX in your autoexec.bat to read
LH c:\dos\mscdex /d: TSLCD /m: 10
Now, make sure that this driver is the first one loaded in the autoexec.bat.
and make sure Smartdrive comes after it. Now, besides the computer working
right, you should get much more conventional memory. Smartdrv and themscdex
driver will be loaded high leaving room for other apps.

When leaving either of sirrus or Acnar's rooms, on the way out, you'll se a

Remember the degrres of the item you saw in the telescope. well, this is a

light will turn on outside liting up all the caverns. If you press the wrong
one, you short out the power and must recrank the generator. by the way,
incase you didn't realize, you need to brink those red and blue papers back

You will probably not be able to get it from Panasonic. They seem to market
their CD products through other vendors.
There is a line of inexpensive computer peripheral products by a company
called "Reveal". They sell the controller for the Panasonic CR-563-B as their
model # CDC50, "Interface Card for Internal CD-ROM Drive". The interface card
costs about $45, if I recall correctly.
You should be able to find it many home electronics or computer stores, or
order it if they carry the Reveal line. I've seen the line in Circuit City,
Silo, Sears, and AAFES retail outlets. Reveal's sales phone is (800)326-2222.
Also, you could connect the Panasonic drive to just about any Creative Labs
SoundBlaster sound board that has a CD interface, and is not specifically
SCSI.
The Panasonic drive uses a proprietary IDE interface.

I'm not sure why Panasonic specs the drive at 540M.
Al> Can it read CDRoms that have 640MB, 680MB of data?
Yes. The New Grolier's Multimedia Encyclopedia has 671,446,166 bytes in 419
files, and the Panasonic CR-563-B can read it fine.

G'day Neal Sidhwaney, In a message on <Aug 08>, you said :
NS> Hello, I am just wondering why all the CD-ROM
NS> advertisements aren't in the other echo which is dedicated
NS> to cd-rom sales? I'm not trying to play moderator, just
Perhaps its because they are permitted !!! Thats why.
Why is it that many newcomers to this area keep asking that same question.
The CDROM sale echo was created to ease up the sales on this echo but as there
many who cannot get the other echo sales are still permitted on here with some
restrictions.

Thanks Martin for the reply, much appreciated.
Could you please tell me what type of system you are running Conan on, as I
suspect that it may be my Sound Blaster Pro causing the trouble with the game
on account that Conan only supports the AdLib and Roland sound cards.
Cheers,
Trevor.

A cdrom recorder records cdroms WHICH ARE IDENTICAL TO A "MASTERED"
CDROM AS FAR AS A CDROM READER DRIVE IS CONCERNED! Sure the mechanical

This is a FACT, and I have recorded a disk on a Philips recorder and

think I am the type to forsake everything and bury myself in books for my
exams.I learnt my lessons during the 'O' levels.That time, I charge from Aug
straight through the prelims and when the big one comes (the 'O' levels), I
felt a bit 'XIAN'.I almost didn't study but I persevered .However,the results
was not satisfactory.So,regarding your stewed bae.I think if you are going for
her simply for the sake of having a go,then I think you better not.If you got

JC> Nice to meet you...Would you tell me what different between

Why there are many people talking about CD-I.
NEC CD-ROM cannot read CD-I format. This is the true.
CD-I format will be replaced by coming technology instead. CD-I will be
phase out later.
They are both in 680 capacity.
NEC 510 is NEC's original brand name CD-ROM 3Xi but cannot read some copy
CD disk. Tripe Speed is very near Double speed. Therefore, I recommend
you not buy or buy NEC CDR-210 (Tray-load) instead.
If you want to buy higher speed. Please buy TEXEL's Plextor 4PLEX.
Speed = 150ms.
Cache = 1MB buffer
If copy CD-ROM from 2Xi's AT-BUS CD-ROM to HDD, takes 4 hours.
(680MB) 2Xi's CDR210 CD-ROM to HDD, takes 2 hours.
3Xi's CDR510 CD-ROM to HDD, takes 1.5 hours.
4Xi's NEC4X Pro to HDD, takes 1 hours.
4Plex 1MB CD-ROM to HDD, takes 20 minutes.
NEC 4X Pro just 512K buffers but 4Plex has 1MB buffers.
See you....

Dear Elf,
Don't buy Sony CD-ROM because it is too slow. Buy NEC SCSI CD-ROM
instead. You can think about NEC-CDR-210.

Q: What is CD-i?
CD-i is an entertainment and information system that plays digital data
stored on a compact disc. The CD-i player connects to a television set
or to a color monitor. You may also connect a CD-i player to your stereo
system for higher quality audio. CD-i discs are used in the home, in
education, and in business.
CD-i is the first multimedia technology aimed at a mass audience. CD-i
allows the multimedia designer to blend different media in the form of
visual, audio, graphic, and computer data into a single experience for
the user. CD-i allows the user to interact with the information on the
disc and to guide the presentation in a meaningful way. CD-i lends
itself to informational titles, games, encyclopedias, educational material, and
many business applications. With the addition of a special hardware module,
CD-i players can now play feature films and other video material.
Besides CD-i discs,CD-i player can play Compact Disc-Digital Audio (CD-DA),
CD+Graphics (CD+G), Photo CD, and, with a Digital Video cartridge, Karaoke
CD and Video CD discs. A CD-i player is a self-contained computer system w/
specific video, audio and control hardware and software,and an optical disc
drive.
CD-i technology was developed jointly by N.V.Philips of the Netherlands and
Sony Corporation in Japan. The primary goal of the two companies was to
develop a worldwide standard so that CD-i CD would run on all CD-i players
anywhere in the world. To that end, they published the CD-i Full Functional
Specification, which is more commonly known as the Green Book. Any changes
or extensions to the CD-i standard must be approved by both Philips & Sony
before they become as official part of the specification.
Since the CD-i system includes it's own computer hardware, CD-i software is not
compatible with PCs or Macs (it's a bit like expecting a Mac CD-ROM to play on
a PC). However CD-i bridge formats like Photo CD or Video CD will
be cross platform compatible, with PCs and Macs with appropriate hardware &
software. In the professional CD-i market, there are already PC and Mac
cards which have CD-i hardware, allowing CD-i discs to be played, so this can
be expected to appear in the consumer market as well.
Thank you for all your attention.
Best regards.

Hello, Clifford,
CD-I is a great idea as you say. As I know, Philips has promoted such
technology more than three years. What a pity, it is still not going to be
popular. I wonder whether it will be overtaken by Video-CD (a subset of CD-I)
if both Philips and Sony still don't willing to release the technology to other
hardware manufacturer. So far, I just found a CD-I player from Philips in Hong
Kong. But there are several manufacturers released their Video-CD players in
Hong Kong. Let us see who is winner. Cheers

If it is really $100, I will take it at once :)
For $150, I may have to get more information before making the decision....:)

Can you think of a reasonable explanation or is there something I've
missed? The bottleneck of a 2x CD transfer is the 300K/s.
How can a SCSI be faster than an IDE by 2 fold? I can believe
a 10-20% difference but 100%, I don't know.

You are wearing color glasses.
As many people know I am no supporter of pirated discs, and I endeavour to
import original ones from USA to counteract those 'cheap' discs. But I can buy
WCII less than $310, that's what i mean. Don't suppose i sell/buy pirated
discs, I never mention or imply that!!

I have a Mitsumi double-speed plugged into a SB16 MultiCD card.
Sometimes I can't play some audio CDs, I get a message from Quick CD (my
audio CD player) that there isn't an audio CD in the drive. This seems
like a hardware problem, and I'm about to take the drive in for repairs.
Has anyone had this problem? Separate question: is there a utility
which measures actual CD-ROM drive performance?

I don't see anything wrong with the board you have.. Just get a
couple more meg of ram, and, if you don't have 'em already, a sound card
and cd-rom (I've seen sound cards for >$60, and cd-roms for $49), and
you've got yourself a multi-media computer! Heck, you video is a lot

Must be something else, what I can't figure out at this time. But you can
at least direct your efforts elsewhere, as this isn't the problem...try
checking the config.sys files too...also, try just leaving out the command
@echo off, it's not a big deal...if it works, what the heck!

conflicting info from both this echo, TigerSoft, and Phillips... I'd really
like to know since I went out and bought two higher priced drives after
someone on this echo told me it's one I/F card per CD... :(
Oh well, now my callers have 2 new CD drives when they could have had 4...

soc.culture.hongkong is not an email-adress. It's the name of a UseNet

As this has nothing to do with CD-ROM, I suggest we end this thread.

All orders for Cream 4 have been shipped. I didn't say they
would be shipped on the 8th... I said I was leaving on a trip to
Florida to pick them up and all orders I had received before
the 8th would be shipped directly from the factory. They were
scheduled for pickup on the 12th but the factory did not have
them ready until the 16th. Sorry for the confusion.

RV> Anyone know what is going

This is a common status error that occurs with CD-ROM drives. It occurs usually
due to 2 different possibilities:
(1) The CD-ROM loaded is NOT DATA READY! (In otherwords you've loaded a MUSIC
only CD.
(2) The disk you have loaded is not quite ready to read. When prompted with the
ABORT, RETRY or FAIL options just press "R" to RETRY the disc read. You
sometimes may be required to do this a number of times. Just keep pressing
"R" until you get the desired result... Or the drive error comes up as a
different one.
This should help you out, Good luck

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi Ron,
Yep, I know that the drivers that came with OS/2 doesn't really support the
CD's, and that you have to get a driver for your cd. From what I understand of
the driver that comes with OS/2 is that it just sets it up, you've still got to
get a driver to actually activate the cd.
I did get a driver for the Mitsumi, and it still wouldn't work! I could see
the drive, but couldn't access anything on it. At any rate, now I've got
another cd in there and it's got the 16bit SB card on it as well. The CD
itself is a Tandy, and I can access it in True Dos, but can't access it in
OS/2.
What is it about the mscdex driver, in OS/2 you can set it up to report any
version required up to 5.0 to your software, but no matter what, mscdex still
comes back with incorrect dos version! BTW, the Mdm???.sys works great! When
it is installed, the light flashes!
Is there a os/2 version of mscdex around anywhere?
Thanx Loads
Leon

Thanx Loads!
I'll give it a try! Got a tandy now I'm trying to get working! It really
amazes me that I can call various boards and some of them are running in os/2
and they have cd's online! Maybe the problem is that I'm running my bbs in
os/2 itself? Nah.... I believe the only problem is in locating the right
driver to do the job

Sorry if this is the wrong base for this question but its the only CD-ROM FIDO
echo that i carry.
I have a single speed Tandy-1000 cd-rom (mainly for my bbs) and have never
had a problem with it. Have played music cd's on it as well as other cd games.
I recently got Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective on cd and can not get it
to run. I keep getting and error that says there is a conflict with my SB card
and another card on my system and that the conflict is either IRQ or DMA (it
doesnt know which one for sure). So i have done everything i can think of to
fix it, changing jumpers, loading the non-DMA driver for the CD, change
everything on the cd interface as well as my SB, took out my modem (just to
see) and none of this works. The docs say that with the Tandy, there will be
hardware problems and some changes may be necessary. Well, i see they are
necessary. I have tried everything i can think of. Has anyone else ran into
this problem? Any ideas would be appreicated.

PVE> I did so about a month ago.. Haven't seen anything yet.
PVE> Will try another netmail now..
Peter,
We are trying very hard to keep on top of all our catalog requests,
but find that our growth is getting the best of us. The last
production of our NEW catalog was gone in 2 days... We are now in the
process of developing our catalog for distribution on a CD-ROM, which
will allow photos of the products we sell, greater in-depth
descriptions, our complete FTP site review collection, International
TOLL-FREE Modem Ordering, and much more. A working model of our
catalog is available via internet FTP.wariat.org in the directory of
pub/cdroms and also WWW (World Wide Web). This project has proved much
more work than was first thought and we expect another 30 days before
we go to press our NEW CATALOG-ON-A-DISC. We will be pressing a 1.4mb
CATALOG-ON-A-DISK should we not meet our 30 day deadline for the
CD-ROM CATALOG.
We are proud to announce that this new CATALOG-ON-A-DISC will also
feature other than computer industry mail order businesses.
Very sorry for the delays involved, and until a catalog arrives please
feel free to ask for any quotes.
PVE> I'm beginning to think no one wishes to do business with people from
PVE> Holland. Are we blacklisted or something?
No absolutely NOT! We have a very large list of International
references. Our International sales have also exceeded our domestic
for over twenty weeks in a row, so much so, Federal Express even
installed their international computer system to compliment their
domestic Powership/2. We have also made donations to educational
institutions to many countries outside of America. We love and value
our international clients as much as we do our domestic;-)
Please bear with us during our conversion from a printed catalog to an
electronic format. You will be impressed that not only will our NEW
CATALOG-ON-A-DISC be helping to save the environment, but will be much
more informative and offer more products.
Best Network Regards,
Joe Rinehart

I run Myst under WFW. I've had no problems whatsoever.
All I can advise is make sure you have the memory either in real or virtual
and make sure you have the latest video, soundcard, and Quicktime drivers.
I had to update my Soundblaster 16 drivers with the newer ones on the CD,
even though I thought I already had the latest downloaded from the CLabs
BBS.
Maybe If this doesn't work, a little more info might help us figure it
out.

MN> How good is Critical Path? What's the concept?
It's no good at all.
Takes about 3 hours to solve and there's not much of variety in it.
Ok, it's fun to have interactive movies, but the story is a straight line and
there are no different ways to solve it.
Save your money for something else.

Otherwise, I agree with him that the graphics are great and the sound is

Hi,
A friend of mine lend me his Trans-Ameritech Linux CD since he has
upgraded to a newer version of Linux. He bought a double CD set which
contained the latest release of Linux for $18.99 CDN (Here in Ottawa).
This double CD set is very common here and I would suspect that you
would not have any problems finding in Toronto.
I am not an expert at Linux but he is and he loves this double CD.
Unfortunatly, I don't remember the name but I can ask him.

GPAppreciate the info. How about some a number for Insight? And does that
GPuse a caddy? I've seen a few ads for it but they don't say one way or t
GPother..
Yup,
it uses caddies, is an internal, (there should be an external available by
now) is XA, CD-I, Photo CD muti session and Video CD(MPEG) compatible. The
Insight number is 800-488-0004. So far I have orderd a WangDat 4mm
backup and the 4 Plex drive from Insight and I am impressed with the quick
delivery (3 days to my door in Canada is Awesome)and low pricing on both
items. They also offer good tech support (as does Plextor), and the sales
people were helpful (I talked to Eric). One thing to note is that you will
need an audio cable from Plextor to hook up to your sound card for playing
music CD's. The way this is handled is once you have your 4 Plex you call
the plextor 800 number, tell them what sort of Sound card and CDRom model
you have and they send the correct cable. You should recieve the cable
inside a week and they will include a bill for $7.95 for it. Then you send
them a cheque.
Happy Shopping,
Paul.

Ya, I just got it too. I played it for about 3 hours tonight, it's pretty
good. It starts off a little slow but once you start finding some things it
gets much better. I'm stuck at a point after I looked at the book in the ship.
I'm in a room off some tunnel in the rock and there's some kind of thing on

Well, it would help if you knew for sure about the motherboard.
I'd say you have a perfectly resepectable system, once you add the

I noticed you typing in the COMPLETE names of the countries while playing

useful to know that it is NOT NECESSARY to type the complete names. In fact,
SPACES and PERIODS are totally ignored by the program.
All you have to type in is enough of the name of the country to distinguish
from any other possible country.
For instance, for "E. Africa" ... all of the following would be valid:
e.af
e. af
eaf (remember - all PERIODS and SPACES are ignored anyway)
For "Afghanistan" ... all of the follwoing would be valid:
afghan

Go behind the shack and pick up the key. Pull the wood from the water wheel.
Get boos drunk again. After the 3rd toast, but before the 4th, ask for his
keys. Go to the gift shop. Get the coins, tickets, and battery. Go down the
trap door in boos place. Use the keys he gave you to open up the door.

You can pick up cheap single speed drives for under $100. I have an ad from

Tha CD-ROM can be connected to a SBPRO or SB16 as well as an adapter card.
Most cards support the sony stanard. As for drivers, the MSCDEX driver that
came with DOS is fine, but that's not the only driver you need. My CD-ROM
needs MSCDEX as well as a file called SBCD.sys. So your CD-ROM most likely
needs a seperate driver to br recognised also. Plus, you need other drivers
to use it in windows. Call up sony, they should give you a free driver disk,

there are 2 possibilities. I know they have an adapter that lets your PC read
CD-I titles, but it hasn't been released yet. maybe stores get demonstration
models seperatly. Or, maybe they had a CD-I with the MPEG cartrage hooked up
to a PCTV board.

I can't agree with you on this,I myself also have a Mitsumi FX001D internal
CD-Drive and using the mtmcdae.sys driver boosts up the performance because it
uses DMA transfer which mtmcdas.sys doesn't.
I also had some troubles installing the Mitsumi drive but is was more a matter
of inserting the interface card in a firm way(I'm not kidding).
When I use for example an Autodesk animation it runs smoothly with mtmcdae.sys
while I get jerky animation with mtmcdas.sys.
Another difference is that for some games you can only use mtmcdae.sys because
otherwise the game will run slow and you won't get sound (I had this problem
with Rebel Assault).

Having alltime nasty problems with DOS memory here is my private solution for
all you users and retailers.

Use QUEMM 7.1 or newer Version. You want believe this. Using MEMMAKER from the
idiotic programmers of the shitty DOS6.2 i had 530Kb Free. After using
Optimize from QUEMM i had 639Kb DOS Space
free. Right 639Kb. All programms expect some games like "Comanche"
CD work fine. Even F15 CD-ROM version runs now. We have a lot of drivers
installed. CD-ROM, 24BIT Scanner, SCSI Controller and....

Hello, well I'm no expert. CD-ROM Today is the only thing I've bought.
It's not a magazine on a CD-ROM like some others, it's a magazine with a
CD-ROM. I sent for a free issue of NautilusCD, but it arrived in pieces
and I never bothered to call and see if I could get another. (Busy
moving at that time) So I can't give you any comparisons. I would think
it depends on what you're looking for. Personally I wouldn't care to
read articles on my CRT. But if they were narrated with good quality
speech I would be more interested. I'm mainly interested in the demos
and shareware. Some of the files can be found on BBSs, but that's
usually just the shareware. One of the pluses of having articles in
electronic format is being able to search for key words though. I know
CD-ROM Today has had text files on the internet in all three CDs so far
and that has came in handy for finding info. Later,

You can't. The game is never the same. The dna is randomly placed. So are

That shouldn't be happening. he should drop the container, bow, arrows, etc.
your map and other possesions should not appear in there. are you using the
CD or disk? Either way, copy out your saved game files, then re-install RTZ.
You also might want to use a saved game file of before you met the bowman, as
that one gamefile might be corrupt.

307? That's quite good and 250 is better than most average DS drives. Even
some SCSI ones that rate at like 300ms. Cause I read the August computer
shopper and it didn't seem to say anything bad about it. Didn't much good
about it either, but it seemed to care more about the SCSI drives than this
one. By looking at the stats table in that mag though, seemed that the Mitsumi
beat everyone else in most categories. Like it beat the rest 26 times while a
Toshiba SCSI beat everyone around 10 times. OH well, know anything about the
Panasonic 562(b)?

Aren't all drives about the same in MM? I've read everywhere that Triples,

Yeah, but it seems that the Mit churns up better performance than a Panasonic.

I read that too. 3x offers something like 13% improvement instead of 50%. All
I need is games though. PhotoCD is TOO expensive and other stuff are boring.
Maybe I'll just have to wait till the quads come down in price.. But then
again, they'll probably have super-duper quadzing 0ms 10gb/sec drives out by
then :^P

Hi Rae,
RB>Have you gotten the Simcity demo to run. After installing vesa driver I

Yes, it worked fine following directions on page 12. I didn't figure
out how to do much other than operate the bulldozer. Should be required
training for people who want to run for city council and spend all the
budget on sports.
There was extra setup required to get our CD-ROM to run CD's from DOS
even after the Windows ones were working. Conflict with the sound card.
3 stores within walking distance of us sold 26 copies (5 + 11+ 10) of
the magazine and the distributor didn't have any extras left. There are
so many different computer magazines, that CD-ROM Today is not available
at other several other locations in the area.
Sam & Max is well done. I liked it much better than Corridor 7. On
page 13, where it says "install x" we had to type install and then
enter the drive letter when prompted by the screen (for Cor. 7) game.
Also tried Oslo & Wiggins programs for kids. Wouldn't buy stories or
games (no kids here) but it is interesting to see the graphics.

We have not had a problem with damaged magazines very often but the
postal delivery lady folds them all. Must ask her to watch for the
CD-ROM magazine from CompuServe and NOT fold it. Her son has a new
CD-ROM player but didn't get a magazine with CD yet.
There are so many computer magazines that I would hesitate to subscribe
to one in particular. Usually buy about 2 per month according to the
articles that catch my attention. I've chosen more 1994 copies of
Multimedia World than any other magazine.

Thanks Tom for your help!
I should have been clearer with my question. Actually I'm trying
to get specifically this Panas. proprietary controller card, not a
regular AT interface or a sound card with AT interface. I think only
with this controller that you can daisy chain 4 563b drives.
Can anybody help or sell me one?

I beleive this if erroneous. If I understand it correctly, (and it's how I run
my double speed Mitsumi) The MTMCDAE is when you are using DMA and/or IRQ's.
You only use the MTMCDAS when you are "not" using DMA or IRQ's. I.E. Software
polling. I have tried it both ways and the MTMCDAE is very slightly faster than
the MTMCDAS. But it is caused by the use of DMA and or IRQ transfers, not by
the driver itself. You can't use the MTMCDAS with DMA and/or IRQ's. It has
nothing to do with internal or external. Luck Don W7SB

No the MTMCDAE.SYS file is for the internal drive and utilizies the IRQ

would not work on my system since I am running 6.2 also.

Jerry, what brand Cd-Rom are you using? If you are using either a Mitsumi or
Phillips brand you need to call Broderbund and have them ship you out version
1.01 of Myst.

Subj: Zork Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
To get past Boos in Return to Zork you need to get him drunk and then ask for
his keys. When he gives you a glass-full, pour it in the plant and then make
a toast. After toasting, drink the empty glass and he will drink his. Do
this three times and then ask for the keys before you drink again. After you
get the keys, drink one more time and he will be so drunk he will pass out.
p.s. I couldn't figure out this part either. I had to download the hints.

Yes... pretty much the same... I believe that the only
difference in the structure is that a FAQ (Frequently asked
questions) and a Crafts directory were added.

AL--> the telephone number for Tiger Software is 800-888-4437
Part Number: D15-1234 price $49.95. We ordered one of the
single speed Philips drives on 08/12 and got it via FEDEX on
08/16. Everything you need is in the box. I will install it
this weekend and learn more about it. At first glance the
controller does havcontroller has jumpers so it appears that one
can at least set the address and IRQ so although the drive is
being labeled "proprietary" it may be the top-of-te-line!
bargain everybody sez it is!
This drive, although it's a single speed is perfect for
persons who are vision impaired and who want to use it for
reading text-oriented CD's and, if the drive is built adequately
for continuous use, it is okay for use on a BBS as well.

Have you heard of WORMS (Write Once, Reace Many Times) players.
They can record DATA and Data CDs and Photo CDs. They run

SS>-Steve [TEAM OS/2]
Steve,
You are the second person in this echo who is mistaken about the
nature of the drivers for the Mitsumi FX drives.
The mtmcdae.sys driver is for DMA or interrupt driven drive access, the
mtmcdas.sys driver is for software polling. If you have an available
DMA channel and interrupt or just an available interrupt, the
mtmcdae.sys driver should offer the best performance. Mitsumi
_does_not_ manufacture any external CD-ROM drives and therefore would
not make a driver for a non-existant drive. Also, electrically, an
external drive and an internal drive are the same, the external has a
separate case and power supply, that's all.
Not sure what the qualifications are for TEAM OS/2, but perhaps you
should stick to answering questions concerning OS/2 instead of going out
on a limb with a CD-ROM question.

I have two CD's from Broderbund; Just Grandma & Me and

'disappearing mouse.'
As I click around on the various spots, suddenly the mouse
pointer refuses to come back. The routine, or event, that I click
on does happen, but after completion the mouse pointer is gone.
The game isn't 'locked out' as by turning the page to the next
scene, the mouse is back.
It seems to be fairly consistent on certain routines -- one
being the sand pail at the beach on "Grandma."
Athur is even worse; almost every page has one object that
will make the mouse vanish.
Anyone else out there have this problem with these two? Or
even more important, has anyone had the problem and SOLVED it.
(As a further comment; the same symptoms occur on my son's
machine. His is a 486DX66, mine is a 386DX40.)

you mentioned. Some of them seem nearly impossible for me... but
I have worked on the colors... got an update for the library I
used that has resolved the page up and page down problem...
written routines to make it possible to create a directory on
the fly... and I have started the plans for implementing the F1
key for help... with a list of many of the options that are
already available but not mentioned in the docs (readme.1st).
Anyway... I wanted to let you know that I appreciate your input.
I have been working on an automatic setup utility for TAG bbs...
based on the Fboards.dat structure you sent... thanks.... I want
to evaluate the results of TAGcream but I can't set up TAG bbs
with the files I have located. I believe if I could get a copy
of the file named "Status.dat" I could use the stand alone
program TAGFAM to evaluate my code. Also... there are a few
questions I need to deal with...
1. How are the extended multi-line descriptions stored with TAG?
Most bbs's use a single line (up to 255) characters and break it
up on the fly when the users are browsing the file names...
however Pcboard, RBBS, and probably others... require the
extended descriptions to be written on successive lines with a
control character in a specific column. If you can shoot me an
example of the way the extended descriptions are stored it would
help a lot... which brings up the next question...
2. What is the typical name for the "Files.bbs" type program
that TAG uses to store the file descriptions? When these
description files are stored on the hard drive in one directory
they must be incremented... are they Files.1, Files.2, Files.3,
etc or dir1 dir2 dir3 etc.??? or what?
3. Finally... is the security level access stored in numbers or
alphabetically or some kind of flags? Is this what the DSL uses?
Download Security Level? And is there a flag that can turn off
this password option? I think if I can get a sample Status.dat
and a sample Fboards.dat I can figure out this last question...
If you have time to help and you will evaluate TAGcream then
shoot me those two files and your mailing address and I send you
a complimentary copy of Cream 4 so you can test it for real!
Later.

Hey Kevin,
KM> Is there any kind of documentation on the files.bbs format.
Not that I am aware of. What type of BBS are you using?
Or are you putting together your own CDROM?
KM> By looking at the various BBS ready cd's available I see
KM> that there is not one set standard for this text file.
That is correct. It depends on the BBS and what the preferences are of the
SysOp.
KM> Actually they take on a few different forms. For instance
KM> you have one disc that will have a 1 line description like
KM> this;
KM> 1234.zip This is a zip file.
This is a Maximus BBS standard, 'out of the box format' if you will. Maximus
reads the file date/times and displays them. This is nice for shops/places
that update the same files. Callers can see the date and know if it has been
updated.
KM> and then you have this.
KM> 1234.zip 100,000 01-01-94 This is a zip file.
Some people with slower CDROMS like to turn the date/time feature off and read
the list in and show it to callers as is. In this case the BBS just displays
the above file without the need of scanning the directory each time.
KM> and then you have this
KM> 1234.zip [0] this is a zip file.
I haven't seen this on a ROM but it is a good idea.
Some people use download counters which require it as 0 to start out and every
time the file is downloaded, it is incremented 1.
Naturally these would have to be copied to a drive that can read/write.
An additional note. In order for all FILES.BBS to coexist in the same directory
some BBS's require it as FILES001.BBS FILES002.BBS where others require
FILES.001 FILES.002.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Jim,
I was running Myst on a 486DX-33 with Windows 3.11; no problem. I then
upgraded to a 90MHz Pentium with WFW 3.11 and Myst wouldn't run. After
checking out the Broderbund BBS and automated telephone support; no luck. I
finally called for voice tech support and after waiting forever and telling
them everything I tried, they relented and sent me an updated revision
CDROM Version 1.0.1. That solved all my problems and it has run for
hours. In fact I've finished the game with no hints, loved it, and can't
wait for the sequel.
Hope this helps,
Dean

I have been told that there were a few versions of the Sony driver for that
drive and I think 2 of them were not so hot!
See if you can get an updated driver...
I assume you're using the SLCD.SYS-type driver yes?
It could also be something to do with the sound card not being able to
interface properly because of the driver.
Also, has the problem JUST started or has it happened all along?
See if you can get hold of the latest driver...Don't Sony have a support BBS or
something like that ?
Talk to you later,

G'day Chris,
I saw a post written in late July. I am a little behind in this area.
I run 6 CD Roms on my BBS running OS/2. I have a controller card that runs 4 X
CD roms, and have 2 of these cards. I run 2 X single spin Panasonics and 4 X
double spin Panasonics. The Panasonic 562B Drives have a drive select pin on
the back.
You CAN ONLY run one single spin on each controller, and this drive must be
drive 0 on the system. The doubles can be drive 1, 2 and 3.
The OS/2 Drivers work fine and I am having no trouble with the 6 drives. I did
not go the 6 platter multi CD way because I intend putting multiple lines into
my BBS. I do not know how these platters will work with 2 or more requests for
the same CD at once. My understanding is that they shuffle the wanted drive
into a single loading bay for access.
Regards,
Roger

Tell your mate to check whether or not the internal fan in his Power Supply

caused the whole inside of the computer to cook.
Of course, the only way I noticed this was when my CD Caddies were coming

Anyway, should I actually buy one with package like SB Discovery 16
etc... or should I get a "genuine" pure CD ROM drive? Does the later
one run faster? transfer rate higher? or are they around the same?
Please tell me if you have any other comments.

Dear Malcom,
During the summer break, I unfortunately renovated and cleared most of
my games and miscelaneous other programs in order to make space for a new
batch of software I am planning to get sooner or later. However, I thank you
for the offer, and would like to hear of new games I have missed out on during
the summer that are worth the download time.
Sincerely,

Yes, PS/2 is a microchannel based computer, which make it a little bit
harder to get stuffs for it..
Does your PS/2 use SCSI hard drive? If yes, then you can simply get a
SCSI CD-ROM, and daisy-chain it with the hard drive that you already
have. (You don't even need to get a new adapter or anything.. and
internal or external will be fine..) But if it does not use SCSI
adapter, then you will need to get one, and then get a SCSI CD-ROM.

Is it a SCSI drive? Sorry, I don't own that drive, so I don't know. If
it is a SCSI drive, then it is pretty easy. Get a SCSI adapter, and it
will work. If not, you will need the special adapter for that drive.
(or similar drive..) Ask people who own the same kind of drive, see how
they connect the CD-ROM..
DOS device drive? DOS does not provide any driver for your CD-ROM..
maybe you are talking about the MSCDEX.EXE, the CD-ROM extention? Yes,
it will work with your drive..

Computer Shopper shows that a 3X CD-ROM is only about 20% faster in real

CD-ROM available today are not designed to be read by a 3X or 4X

But of course, if you got the money.. (and by the time you buy it.. it
will be much cheaper).. sure, go for a really fast unit..

Well, that was sure taken right out from the thin air?
Where did you get such ideas?
The MTMCDAE is used for a Non soft-polling operation (makes a doublespin go
150kB/sec) and the
MTMCDAS is the softpolling driver, which uses DMA-transfer, and makes the
Mitsumi go 305kB/sec ...

I can imagine that, considering the prices vendors over here ask for some
disks. I've seen disks (grolier's disk f.e.) that are sold for nearly twice
the dollar amount as advertised by you. That's must be the difference between
GetRichQuick and MakingMoney. From my point of view, I prefer the latter. :)

Electronic will do just fine. Now if only that catalog programme could produce
an ASCII file. That would be wonderful, in that case one could make some easy

I know the games had some problems (hanging when a fight should
be started), but those problems were on a 286-system without a
soundcard and not too much memory.
On my 486DLC-33 with SB ProII-compatible soundcard, it run fine.
(got a 486DX2-66 now, but don't have the game anymore).

Thank you so much! That was the only thing standing in my way! After
that I explored Mechanical Age in 2 hours!
How was I supposed to find that passage? I was in "zip" mode and flew
by it every time! Should I turn it off for future ages? Thats really
stupid to put it there in the middle of a zip passage! I thought
zipping meant "ok, you went through here once, no need to bore you

I installed a CM205MS this past weekend. Please refer to
the manual with respect to installing the drive with DOS6.0 or
higher. You must use the driver supplied by DOS 6.0 or higher
and not the one supplied on the Setup diskette. Also, you may
need to change the Base address as well as the IRQ setting.
When I installed it, the drive came up just fine as Drive
E: but I've lost access to floppy drive B: which means that I
probably have an IRQ conflict which I haven't had enough time to
resolve yet.
Good luck! So far it seems to be a nice drive for the
money and yeah! music CD's play top-of-the-line! too! except you
can't track backwards...

Hi Adam, here's the first age. Just let me know if you want the others: Later
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.

Problem..........
Cannot get the Soundblaster 16 recognized in the system. Have
gone to three different stores and my system will not recognize the
sound board.
I also have a second parallel port card -- LPT2 -- using IRQ5
that I have removed so I thought there would not be any problem, but
the system still will not recognize the sound board.
Any assistance would be appreciated...thnx in advance....

I got an AZTECH 2x about 3 months ago. It was the cheapest available at

100% ever since. I am perfectly satisfied with it.
It is Kodak multiple sessions compatable and it says it is Video on CD
ready [whatever that means]. It has a quick play button on the front
and together with the earphone outlet and vol. control you are ready to
listen to audio CDs when doing other computing.

This is a common status error that occurs with CD-ROM drives. It occurs usually
due to 2 different possibilities: (1) The CD-ROM loaded is NOT DATA READY! (In
otherwords you've loaded a MUSIC only CD. (2) The disk you have loaded is not
quite ready to read. When prompted with the
ABORT, RETRY or FAIL options just press "R" to RETRY the disc read. You
sometimes may be required to do this a number of times. Just keep pressing
"R" until you get the desired result... Or the drive error comes up as a
different one.
This should help you out, Good luck

SS>-Steve [TEAM OS/2]
Steve,
You are the second person in this echo who is mistaken about the nature of the
drivers for the Mitsumi FX drives.
The mtmcdae.sys driver is for DMA or interrupt driven drive access, the
mtmcdas.sys driver is for software polling. If you have an available DMA
channel and interrupt or just an available interrupt, the mtmcdae.sys driver
should offer the best performance. Mitsumi _does_not_ manufacture any external
CD-ROM drives and therefore would not make a driver for a non-existant drive.
Also, electrically, an external drive and an internal drive are the same, the
external has a separate case and power supply, that's all.
Not sure what the qualifications are for TEAM OS/2, but perhaps you should
stick to answering questions concerning OS/2 instead of going out on a limb
with a CD-ROM question.

I installed a CM205MS this past weekend. Please refer to the manual with
respect to installing the drive with DOS6.0 or higher. You must use the driver
supplied by DOS 6.0 or higher and not the one supplied on the Setup diskette.
Also, you may need to change the Base address as well as the IRQ setting.
When I installed it, the drive came up just fine as Drive E: but I've lost
access to floppy drive B: which means that I probably have an IRQ conflict
which I haven't had enough time to resolve yet.
Good luck! So far it seems to be a nice drive for the money and yeah!
music CD's play top-of-the-line! too! except you can't track backwards...

Okay,
The double speed is fast enough for me.. I mean, for the money you
can get it today ($99) compared to about $300 for a triple, it's
probably your best bet.. The one I've got is external, with it's own
card, and everything else.. Best thing is, it doesn't take an IRQ (I had
trouble with my singles speed, cause it only took IRQ 5 or 7 or 2 (all
but 5 were kinda used..), and DOOM didn't support IRQ 10 (where I had to
put my sound card..).. I think this cd rom's worth it..

You would use the MTMCDAE if you are using DMA and IRQ. You would only use the
MTMCDAS if you are "NOT" using irq or dma. I.E. software polling which is the
slowest transfer. Although not by very much. If you are using DMA and/or IRQ
use the MTMCDAE. Only use the MTMCDAS if you are not using either of these.

I have used a shareware program called CDTA.exe I got 306 to 307 througput
and 246 for access using the MTMCDAE.sys with DMA 5 and IRQ 11. I have found
some differences with different disks though. Where did you get the Microsoft
program? Is it on their BBS? I'd like to try it. I found the CDTA program on
one of the local bbs's. I'm sure it's available elsewhere. Luck. Don W7SB

I beleive this if erroneous. If I understand it correctly, (and it's how I run
my double speed Mitsumi) The MTMCDAE is when you are using DMA and/or IRQ's.
You only use the MTMCDAS when you are "not" using DMA or IRQ's. I.E. Software
polling. I have tried it both ways and the MTMCDAE is very slightly faster than
the MTMCDAS. But it is caused by the use of DMA and or IRQ transfers, not by
the driver itself. You can't use the MTMCDAS with DMA and/or IRQ's. It has
nothing to do with internal or external. Luck Don W7SB

Might want to use DOSES mscdex if you have the recent version. Might not
matter. Also do you have a soundcard in your computer, if so take it out and
then see if your cd-rom will work. I have a older PB and when I tried to

You can't. The game is never the same. The dna is randomly placed. So are the

That shouldn't be happening. he should drop the container, bow, arrows, etc.
your map and other possesions should not appear in there. are you using the CD
or disk? Either way, copy out your saved game files, then re-install RTZ. You
also might want to use a saved game file of before you met the bowman, as that
one gamefile might be corrupt.--- TBBS v2.1/NM

Hi Dan.
HINT...
You need to follow the toasting etiquette in the file.
Walkthrough...
When you enter the old Mill, offer Boos a toast, Don't drink your grog
pour it into the plant, then drink the empty glass. Repeat the process
3 times. Oh by the way you should ask Boos for his keys between the
third and fourth parts of the toasting ritual. You will need them next.
Drop me a note if you need any other help. Let me know how much of a
clue you want or the walk through to the problem.
Phil ;-)

Hi all.
A friend has just installed a New Cirrus Lodgic ISA graphics
Accel card and is having problems loading 7th Guest.
It will not recognise the card.
He has attempted to load the VESA drivers that came with it,
also the ones that were with 7th Guest but no go.
All his other programs are working fine, WFWG, MSGOLF etc.
I have another friend who is running the game with a slightly
older version of the same card and he has no problems.
The newer card appears to have a slightly different chip set and
driver. I suspect the problem is here?
The Card is a CLD5422 with the driver AVGA 3B.
Has anyone had similar probs and found a fix or knows of the
problem?
Any help would be appreciated.

Subj: Drivers for multiple drives Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
G'day, people...
I've just acquired a stack of CD-ROM drives (four to be precise), which
I'm hoping to add to the file arsenal of my BBS. My dilemma here stems from the
fact that I've never seen any documentation on running more than one CD-ROM
from the same controller card.
The controller card's a MediaVision Pro Audio Spectrum Plus, connected
to a stack of Sony CDU535-01 single-speed drives. The fact that there are ID
jumpers along with a terminator selector on the back of the drives leads me to
believe that the interface is some sort of mutilated SCSI variant (although it
only uses 40-way cable).
Now, the trick is, how do I get the low-level CD-ROM driver along with
MSCDEX to recognise all four drives? The standard lines are:
CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=SONY_PFM.SYS /D:MVCD001 /I:15 /S:32 /R /P:3
AUTOEXEC.BAT:
MSCDEX /D:MVCD001 /M:10 /V
But what do I need to change to get all four drives recognised as
separate entities (for example, as drives D:, E:, F:, & G:)?
I would ***GREATLY*** appreciate any and all help or advice offered on
this subject, and I'm certain the users of my BBS would be willing to bend over
backwards in appreciation of being able to access another 4 cd's :)
Have fun!
- Bob.

I have been trying to play DUNE CD on my DX2-66 with MITSUMI FX001D CDROM (Twin

fast with words running into each other, some are even skipped. The game
installation reports that my CDROM is rated at 311KB/sec way past the minimum
requirement and 100% reliability. Why then do I get this problem?. Other CD
games with speech like Loom have no probs. Is this a Dune thing or are my
drivers at fault. Any light anyone can shed on this for me would be great. Joe.

Hi Joseph if you are running smartdrv this will in certain cases cause
this problem (had same prob with rebel assault) try removing
this line from your config.sys if problem go's away then lower your
memory amount ie if your smartdrv is set at say 1024k then drop it
to about 256k or 512k and see if that works
hope this helps

Oscar,
Chances are that you will NOT get it sold at that price. I just bought the
same from Jim Keho for $27 with shipping to Bermuda. So, chances are that
you will not get more that $25 for it with shipping to someone nearby.

═════════════════════════════════════════════ VεctorQuotε 1.o ═════════════
Replied to you over a week ago. Here it is again: I checked the CD in
my drive, ran the installation, rebooted as per instructions, and it ran
perfectly. You must do 3 things with these: 1. Make sure you have
enough base RAM. 5.0 won't run on my system with less than approx 584k
available. If you don't have that much BASE memory, then you'll have to
remove some TSR's from either your Autoexec.bat or Config.sys files.
2. It's picky with mouse drivers. It doesn't run at all when I use my
Agiler mouse driver, but when I switch to another, it runs fine. You
might change yours if nothing else works. 3. Be sure to answer all
questions on the installation routine ACCURATELY. Then you must reboot
to use the newly-installed sound driver that was placed in your config.sys
file during installation.
Like I said, it ran OK here, so the CD isn't defective. Let me know if
you'd like me to send it back, or issue a store credit.

I know it shouldn't be happening. I would hate to have to go back to my last
save, that was about the begining. I am using a cheat, so it should be easy,
but it would chew up a couple of hours that I just don't have. If you locate a
cheat or something that would edit my savegame, PLEASE TELL ME!!!. Thanks.

You were quite clear with your question, and I with my response. I understood
exactly what you said and what you meant, and I answered your questions
precisely.
Again, you will probably not be able to get the controller card you are
looking for directly from Panasonic. They will refer you to Creative Labs or
some other outfit that markets their CD products (they seem to be aware of
Creative Labs only).
Again I'm telling you, the Reveal model CDC50 CD-ROM Interface Card is exactly
what you are looking for. Creative Labs also has one, but I believe they only
sell it bundled with a drive - a Panasonic CR-563-B, by the way (OmniCD is the
name of the package).
Perhaps you were confused by my mentioning that the interface for that series
of Panasonic CD-ROM drives is proprietary IDE. Well it is IDE. That does not
mean that the card I'm recommending is a standard IDE (what you called
"regular AT interface"). Again, it is proprietary, and works specifically
with the Panasonic drive you mentioned. Why else would I have taken the time
to tell you about all this?
Again, most Creative Labs sounds cards that have CD-ROM interfaces will also
work with the drive, just like the controller I mentioned above. Listen,
please - I am not telling that you need or want a sound card. All I'm saying
is that the proprietary Panasonic IDE interface that you are looking for is
also found on some SoundBlaster sound boards (and some Reveal sound boards).
So, if you need sound and CD in one machine, you could do it with one of the
sound board.
AT> Can anybody help or sell me one?
You've already been helped, and any local retail store that sells the Reveal
line or Creative Labs products will be happy to sell you the interface card or
sound card. If you like, you can send me the money. I'll go down to the
store, buy it for you and sent it to you. Be sure to add enough money for
the packaging, shipping, my time and my trouble. I get $25/hour minimum
(cheap!), and these two messages took at least a half hour each. Add another
hour and a half for the wrapping, and a trip to the store and post office.
Again, the drives are not limited to the 563 megabytes you mention. I know
that's what the manual says, but in reality they will read full-size 600+
megabyte disks. I gave you an example of that in the previous message.
Do you feel helped yet?
BTW, you will probably not be able to get this information from Panasonic,
Reveal, nor Creative Labs (unless they've become better informed about their
own products since I called them about this a few months ago). They all had
no idea whether it would work, and had no idea how to do it even if it would.
For weeks Panasonic bounced me from support office to support office (all toll
calls) all around the country, and eventually had me fax them a copy of their
own manual because they had never heard of it (the cover and the page that
shows the daisy chain). After they researched it for a couple more weeks,
they called back and referred me to Creative Labs who also had no idea.

I found that out! :) I thought maybe it was going to suddenly

there and, I THINK I did everything I was supposed to do. Now,
I appear to be stuck trying to stop the wedding. I gave Jollo
the lamp, gave the incriminating letter to the head guard dog
and entered the room where the wedding was taking place. Found
out that it wasn't really Casima in that wedding gown, the
"ghostly" king and queen appear and all hell breaks loose.
Everything happens so fast and I don't know what to do. I die

I haven't seen a walk-through, but if you or a friend can access America
on Line, there is help in sight. Download Universal Hint System (UHS)
and the UHS file for Mist. Both are shareware. You can use just the
hints you need or go thru all the hints for something that is pretty
close to a walk-through.

Hi Jerry,
I'm running Myst with WFWG just fine. I think you might need to
increase the smartdrive windows portion of the cache to at least
512, when you install WFWG and switch on 32bit file access, vcache
kicks in and reduces the amount of cache available to your floppy
drives and CD Rom to about 126. Look at your autoexec file and see
what you've got. You didn't mention your system stats, but there
is help for this problem. You need to give us more info if the
above doesn't help.
Regards,
Joan

Subj: MAP-N-GO is Crippleware!
I would appreciate someone passing this tale of woe along to the
INTERNET and any other place that it will WARN unsuspecting buyers.
------------------------------------------------------------------
About 3 weeks ago I received a flyer from DELORME Mapping about
their new CDROM called "Map'n'Go."
For those that don't know these folks, they're the makers of a VERY
GOOD CDROM called "STREET ATLAS USA." This is a very powerful atlas
program that has (probably) 99% of ALL the streets in the USA. It's
GREAT, easy to use, and prints beautiful COLOR maps on most any
printer that does color. (or excelent B&W)
SO . . . their flyer for their NEW Program "Map'n'Go" says:
"This Windows compatible program will let you:
1. Plan routes from more than 1 million miles of roads.
2. Choose accomodations from more than 26,000 hotels,inns,
and campgrounds.
3. Identify points of interest along the way.
4. Locate some the continents' finest restaurants. (it's good for Mexico
and Cannada as well)
5. Add hotels and sights along the way to your itinerary.
6 Calculate your driving time and distances automatically."
AND. . . " P R I N T customized (COLOR) maps of your trip to take
along." [Sorta like AAA Auto Clubs "Trip-Tiks.] The flyer showed
some pictures of the high quality maps you'd be able to print.
AND ALL for JUST $29 (plus tax and shipping) Came to $39 for me.
* * * SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, HUH? * * * *
Well . . . I have their "STREET ATLAS USA,," but it cost about $100
wholesale. (before taxes and shipping) >>>-----> But WORKS GREAT!
So . . I jumped on buying this new "Map'n'Go" and order it imediately.
And it shows up in about 10 days.
It loads easy into Windows, sets up it's own window and even comes
with a very nice nice talking tutorial. (plus Demo's for two more of
their programs) So far so good! ! I run the program and it's
beautiful . . . works just like STREET ATLAS. Easy, menu driven, and
does everything that the flyer claims it will do and then some . . .
* * * U N T I L * * * You go to print ! ! ! NOW HERE"S THE RUB!
I have a year and halfold HP DeskJet 550C Color printer and it works
JUST perfectly with their OTHER program.("Street Atlas USA.") BUT,
every time I tell THIS "Map'n'Go" to print out a routing . . . the
Program ** C R A S H E S ! **
Up pops a window saying," ERROR!!! Saying,"EITHER Ignore or Close!"
Now I check the Manual and SURE ENOUGH . . . IT DOESN"T WORK WITH
(and these are direct quotes, right out of their manual)
" HP 4's
HP 2's
HP 1200C's
HP 500 series
HP 3's
other Lasers
some InkJet or Dotmatrix
or Export to Paintbrush "
So I give them a call and GUESS WHAT?? Their TECHNICAL SUPPORT says,
"Dahhhh . . . yup, yup, yup, dahhhhh . . . It Ain't OUR Fault!
It's Hewlett Packard fault! They (HP) changed their "banding" on their
new models!"
I then say, "But I don't have a New HP, I have the same one that
works so well with your other program."
Now they mumble and stutter, and finally say, "Yeah . . . well if you
want to make it work . . YOU CAN BUY a fix for about $25 from "Vista"
software."
I reply . . ."Why would I want to pay someone else $25 to make YOUR
$29 software work?" I got NO ANSWER for that question!
It's my opinion that their money hungry management team jumped the
gun and decided to go ahead and market the OBVIOUSLY FLAWED program and
figured that nobody would complian since they let it go cheap!
SO BUYER BEWARE ! ! ! "MAP'N'GO" doesn't work with HP Printers and
several "Other" printers. If you just want to look at pretty maps on
the screen . . . Go for it. But, if you want to PRINT ANY MAPS,
(Especially in color) you'd better be prepared to spend a lot more
money!
THANX
Dan Andrews

As far as I know, it's a specially-designed joystick made just for this

Should have them around the first week or so in September.

Ryan:
I ordered one of Tiger's "bargain" $49 drives and despite trying every
combination of IRQs, drivers, autoexec.bat and config.sys configurations
and slot combinations, could not get it to run.
Discussions with Tiger and Philips tech staff, who were all very
helpful, nonetheless did not solve the problem either. Philips admitted
that they had recently developed driver problems that they couldn't
track down.
I even tried loading the driver on my uncompressed host drive, thinking
that that might be the problem. A second drive did not solve the
problem, so they're both going back this weekend.
So if your up for a challenge, keep trying! Otherwise, you may end up
calling Tiger for an RA as I did. Too bad, they seemed like a really
good deal!
Good luck!

whenever i have problems with sound cards the best thing to do
is strip it down. with hd,ram videocard and montor and boot.
then put the sound card in..then one by one start putting in the other
cards to see which one is causeing the conflict.
my main thing would probably be is that one of the cards is checking 2
irq points..so just proccess of elimination

MY point EXACTLY! If they knew about the BUG far enough ahead of
time to write it up in their manual, then they knew about it in time to
FIX IT before releasing it on an unsupecting public. Are these guys
crooks, or do they just think we're so stupid that we'll sit back and
take it?
The only way to fight this is for everyone that bought the junk to
demand their money back. AND to tell everyone you know about DeLORME's
"Map'n'Go" scam! They're trying to make a fast buck by selling
"Crippled Software" cheap figuring that people with pay someone else to
fix Their BUG! Let's not let them get away with it.
It's a real shame too, it could have been a great software.

No, you have to buy a SCSI interface (control card). They usually come with
SCSI drives, check. Hope this helps !

It's 2,2,1 . And if you hold a lever for longer than 1 spin, only one gear
spins <so it does have a trick>. Then a small gear will open on the bottom,
well............figure the rest out yourself <<it's not that hard>>, ya'
know I wouldn't want to spoil the fun. <grin>

Sorry to interrupt, but it's Crash and Burn. And I am the ultimate PC
advocate opposed to 3DO's and another thing is that 3DO's were made for game
they don't even have to deal with an OS.

Go, to Software Etc. and buy the Corel Gallery Clip Art CD, it's actually a
book, with a CD attached. The book shows samples of all the 10,000 pictures
<clip art> most of them are color. CorelGallery provides many export filters
