The PAS-16 Sound card has a phillips interface for LMSI CD Drives models
CM205, and CM206. The package is usually found as MediaVision Fusion LX
Multimedia upgrade kit.
I was very dissatisfied with the CD interface on the sound card. There is
however, a proprietary interface card for the CD drive alone though. I sold
my interface card and the CD drive as well. I now use the PAS16 as a regular
sound card and disble its CD drivers from system files and use a seperate CD
and its drivers successfully. (A Mitsumi set.)
Hop this helps you out!

This is a VERY simple fix. There is a CD audio hookup on the back of
the drive that must be plugged into the SBPRO. Without it, the sound
can't get to the card. If the CD came with one, just look for the plugs
on the drive and SBPRO. If not, you can buy one almost anyware, they
run under $10.

Thanks for your reply.
I guess I will have to find my Adaptec manual now.

I actually have a 1542B but I dont think there is likley THAT much of a
difference.
Since My HD is an IDE drive at this time I guess I dont have to worry much
about the two working at the same time although I also have a viper 150s tape
backup.
On My amiga with a GVP card I can put the quantom 105 meg drive, my viper 150s
and the cd rom player (The CDR-MV2) all on the same buss..
I guess I better plan on using this cdrom with my amiga and getting another for
my 486 clone?

It depends of the model of each one (Panasonic/Mitsumi)... But,
usualy, you should give preference to Panasonic's CD-ROM drives, cause
they're more compatible with sound cards, including the Sound Blaster,
that is made by the own Panasonic!

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
SR> I'm having a tough time on the puzzel you make with the tiles and the

You need to make a sentence from the tiles. It will give you a recipe
for later. Start with water then work in circles to get the rest of the
sentence. Water Unseen At Falls Mix With Bat Dropping Yield Potion
For... the last tile will then appear.
SR> Alsohow do you get the bowman to leave,
You need to cure his blindness. Try the cow first...
SR> and the cow to eat the carrots?
Don't worry about the carrots with the cow. You need the milk.
You need to put the milk in something to keep it warm...
If you have cold hands the cow will boot you... warm them... but don't
burn the barn down...
SR> Also what is the purpose of the incinerator,
You need something that you can only get after its burned...
Save your game and burn the lot... look in the draw after each to see if
you get anything... get all your things back (restore the save game)
then just burn the one that gave results.... Watch for the BOOBY trap.

Hi there Josh
Have you got those drivers yet?.
Well anyway, the drivers will depend
on the SCSI controller you are
using. ie if you have an Adaptec
card you will need the ASPICD.SYS
to run it in DOS/Windows.
If you have an adaptec card, and you
don't still have it, give us another

SUBJECT: CDI QUESTION
AO> Stubbs:
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?
AO> OR... Actually I know this a CDi rep
AO> told me (work for an electronic
AO> superstore), that the CDi titles/movies
AO> are of a standard format for MPEG
AO> compatible machines. So the CDi movies
AO> can be played on an IBM and soon on the
AO> Jaguar and 3DO, once they get their
AO> MPEG carts out...
AO> Of course if I'm not exactly write,
AO> but I'm pretty sure I am...
JF> Hi Andy,
Just letting you know that most likely
that Star Trek was playing on a Reelmagic
MPEG card designed by Sigma Designs. Now
these things have a chip which play the
MPEG v1.0 spec. But to play the CD-i
movies it would of required the CD-Drive
to have been a Sony CDU-33A. That is
because Sigma with Sony & Phillips have
created drivers that support playing CD-i
on that CD. Sigma is currently working on
drivers to work with Panasonic drives's
( argubably the most common CD-ROM on
the market ). If you don't have the Sony
CDROM then bad luck, you can't play it
yet! But there is a specification called
VideoCD which uses MPEG. Now this is more
portable and will run with any CD. More
and more movies are coming out for
VideoCD as well.
PS : Heaps of huge games are coming out
for the ReelMagic. Games on the RM will
support 32,768 colours in 320x224 to
1024x768 res at 25->30 frames per sec.
Check out that computer shop and ask
about it. If they have it, ask them if
they have a demo disk with the RM card.
You'll really be impressed. If you think
the games will be too linear, no way you
can get interactivity with something that
plays movies. Well kind've true but news
indicates that Doom is being converted for
the Reelmagic. YES. Impossible. Maybe not!
If you think about it, MPEG is really just
a compression algorithm. Now if you could
use the compression on objects instead
of whole frames then, presto. Anyway who
better to invent these programming tricks
than ID themselves!!
Anyway, check out 11th Hour and Under a
Killing Moon on RM. It'll blow your mind!
SEE YA..

Buy the Panasonic, it has 307kb/sec transfer speed, it has 300ms access time
and well I've seen both running and the Panasonic wins hands down over the
Mitsumi and also the Sony drives. It handles scratched CD's very well too, so
if you ever get a CD that is scratched then you won't have much in the way
of problems.
That is my opinion but others may say diferent, but from my point of view,
and this isn't bias (I don't own one myself) but the Panasonic is by far the

Has anyone else had problems getting this thing to run?
Mine is doing this to me :
1) If I run INSTALL.EXE, I get the Tsunami logo and a mouse pointer and
then I get a complete PC lockup, cold boot required.
2) If I run RING.EXE, I get a little dialogue box stating that the game
can be run from CD, but should be installed to hard disk. Options are to
Continue or exit to DOS. The mouse pointer is there and is working.
Exiting to DOS works ok, but Continue gives me another PC lockup, cold
boot required.
This is happenning under either QEMM or EMM386 with more than the
required free memory available (590,000 bytes). I even tried copying the
files (42Mb) to my hard disk and running without the CD drivers. Same
result.
There is another file, DEMOBLUE.EXE on the disk - I don't know if this
can be run from DOS, but it just gives another lock-up anyway.
My hardware is not extremely exotic, and I am fairly sure that I have no
hardware conflicts. (I had to eliminate some very odd conflicts to get
everything working as it is.)
Other CD-ROM games and software give very few problems - I can run Space
Quest 4, Mother Goose, Grandma & Me, Kings Quest 5 and Willy Beamish all
from CD.
I have :
486dx/33 8Mb RAM
200Mb IDE HD
Adaptec AHA-1542b SCSI host adaptor
300Mb SCSI HD
3Com 3503c Ethernet Network card
Sound Blaster 16ASP
Panasonic 562 CD-ROM
DOS 6.2, no DoubleSpace
I am NOT looking forward to pulling out hardware and software just to
isolate this problem!
Can anyone help?

use the transit with the bull's head statue. Align the crosshairs on the left
horn of the "tall horns", then click on the picture. If you've sited
correctly, Indy will say "I see the left horn" and a dotted line will extend
past the horn. {If not, keep trying, making minute adjustments left or right].
Once the dotted line appears, pick up the transit and use it on the bull's
tail statue and repeat the process, this time siting on the right horn. When
you've got it, an X will mark the spot where the survey lines triangulate.
Walk to that spot and use the ship's ribe (from the underground dig site in
Algeria) on the spot. you'll recover the moonstone.

Yes, I know it can be tough to get SmartDrive to load high, so it's nice
to load it as early as possible. Unfortunately, you must load MSCDEX
first or else SmartDrive won't "know" you have a CD-ROM, and won't cache

You are right, I wound up with it on IRQ 3 and it works fine. IRQ 6 either
didn't bring up the CD, or if I got the "Floppy Drive Controller Failure"
message, the CD came up. I suppose, if I took the floppy out of the BIOS set -
up, and disabled FD support on the controller, it might work in IRQ 6. I could
get away with it on a BBS, as I can lap link it to my other PC. But it sounded
like more trouble than it was worth. :)

Read: [N/A] Private: No
A few items you may or may not know..
MSCDEX produces several of it's own error codes which, depending on the
software using the CDROM, may show up as messages or 1nn return codes. These
include:
CDR100 - an unknown error has occured
CDR101 - CDROM drive not ready
CDR102 - EMS memory has failed
CDR103 - not ISO9660 format media
CDR104 - CDROM drive door open
MSCDEX 2.22 and above can be loaded high (above 640K), older versions
can not!!
You can use the option /E to place MSCDEX buffers in EMS memory, each
buffer is 2KB and the default number of buffers is 10 (/M:10).
The drive letter used is one above the highest hard drive on your system
unless a specific letter is set with the /L:x option, make shure you specify
a LASTDRIVE=y statement in your config.sys which indicates a drive letter (y)
that is above the letter used by MSCDEX for the cdrom (x).
Specifying a /V option on MSCDEX command line will cause a "verbose" listing
of information about memory usage.

Recently, we purchased a Pinnacle RCD-200/202 and successfully have recorded a
CD-ROM on TDK blanks. Of course, I should add that we did have problems when
we used it at first but that was a normal course of events.
Much of the problems was the correct configuration of the overall system and
which format to use(ie.) CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA...single session OR multi-session.
The current version of the Pinnacle software is v2.11 which works flawlessly.

them does make me "suspicious" of whether they are legitimate or not. They say
that the money goes to pay for their administrative and production costs of the
CD, ... but IMHO it is their responsibility to pay for all of this themselves,
since they reap ALL of the profits from the eventual sale of the CD. Did I
mention that you have to send them a cheque or money order FIRST BEFORE they
send you anything... Legitimate or not, it's up to you the public to decide...

Bobby... I just received your package today. Cool, new games. The four in
one cd didn't pose me any problems, but with Gabriel Knights I get the visual
fine, but I have a hard time getting any sound or effects. I tried running
all knind of combinations between Soundblaster Pro and the other sound boards,
but I could only get faint sounds. Could you please tell me what setup you
used, or could you tell me what lines you have in your autoexec.bat.
Thanks... By the way, how do you get past the guard in Goblins Quest?

Already got it done, I was at sears yesterday and they have this CD about the

the CD's can hold 74 minutes of space that is the same amout a full 5 1/4

Hello Mike, thanks for replying...I will look for cdspeed.xxx Now about that
DOS 6.2 CD-ROM cache, are you saying it is compatible with qemm? The whole
reason why I want to get a cd cache program is because some real high tech
get choppy. Like if there is a video displaying with sound it gets coppy...It
usually wasn't this bad but since I started using Qemm it got worse, and I am
not going to delete Qemm because it freed up 75k of XMS. Well I'll take a
look. Thanks for replying!

Before attempting to turn on lights have you cranked the generator

3DO is a platform all by itself. You could call it a Nintendo deluxe
squared. At present, there is no way you can use a 3DO disk with a computer.
I heard that there is a project for additional hardware for an IBM clone to
be able to use 3DO, but I don't know anything concrete.
Here in Japan, 3DO is already rather active.

The magazine running the review is PC MAGAZINE, SEPTEMBER 1994, Coverpage
says "The Top 100 CD-ROMS". This magazine basically rates them as follows:
1- Grolier Multimedia - Most accurate and comprehensive.
2- Comptons Interactive - Best for kids.
3- Microsoft Encarta - Best Multimedia Encyclopedia.
These brief comments however do not do them justice, I recommend that you
check out the PC MAGAZINE for further details.
P.S. - Just got an issue of a new magazine called COMPUTER LIFE, Oct 1994
What is important about this is it has an ad which may be a new generation
of Encylopedia CD.
Details
INFOPEDIA - The Ultimate Multimedia Reference Tool
Contains: Funk & Wagnalls Encylopedia, Rogets 21st Century Thesaurus,
Hammond Atlas of the World, The 1994 World Almanac & Fact Book,

Assuming you've Memmaker which comes with Dos your best option would be

Your extended memory is probably now Expanded memory. But Qemm will release it
as needed to Extended memory. Don't worry about it Qemm will give it to whoever
needs it at the time. Load your CD Rom buffers in Expanded memory with the /X
switch in your MSCDEX. It will give you more conventional that way. Luck

Ed,
Good Question! OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer". Now what
that means in "Users terms" is that OEM goods are designed to be sold
by dealers who intend to package or bundle the software with their new
computer or CD-ROM drive sales. This allows the opportunity for
software manufactures to expose their software to those that otherwise
may not run out to purchase it.
OEM is packaged without boxes or documentation usually or that what
documentation is available may be on the disc.
Hope this offers a better explanation of what OEM means.
Best Net Regards,
Joe Rinehart

What type of setup do you run? I'm curious because I may soon go to more CD
drives than drive letteres. Are you on a network? Multinode? etc. Currently I
run a single node RA/Pro, FD212+ system with the pioneer 1804x changer. I'm
using rombrain for the cd's. I used to use RA's FDB, but it just got to be too
much for the callers to wade through. Anyway, I was curious as to your BBS
setup.

By far and away the best Mac CD-ROM for use on a PC Based BBS is the AMUG BBS-
In-A-Box ISO version. This comes complete with Files.BBS descriptions which can
be imported into most DOS BBS systems, and the files are reasonably up-to-date.
Everything else is either in Mac format, is uncompressed, or is just plain
old/crummy.

Yah right. Upgrade my ass. I heard NEC has one of the worst customer

they overcharge for average products. Like their 4xPro compared
to the Plextor Quad-Plex or the new Toshiba 4x. Well, I seem to

The units carry the full warranty, which is 1 year. As to a replacment
I don't think so as the only thing I could think that would replace the
602X would be the 604X, which is a quad spin and that's been on the market
for a while now.
Hope this helps!! If there's anything else we can do, give us a call or

I got a 6 disk changer from Tessier about 6 months age and it was only

Terri, my name is Edward Wagner of Oklahoma and i am going to tell you what is
good to buy. If you have a double speed or faster than the good games would be
(Outpost- if you like hards games, Rebel Assualt, X-com, 7th guest, and new
high graphic games). If you have a single speed forget it, because not many
games run on single speed. Here are some suggestions.

GM>Can you give me more information on the Pier series. Such as, how

Gary, the Pier series are full discs, and compare very favourably to
Night Owl in quality, and content. The competition keeps them
both on their toes, so to speak, to produce a good product.
However, given that, there is a fairly high duplication rate between
them in that they each contain many of the popular files. Because
of that you might wish select one series or the other ot start and
keep collecting, unless you want both <smile>.
Would you like a copy?

3DO is primarily an entertainment CD game machine (like Sega CD) but it is
debatably 'better' and much more expensive. I think Panasonic and the designers
of 3DO (some people in Silicon Valley) are coming out with a card or software
or something that allows 3DO stuff to be played on a PC (but I'm not sure).
Anyways, it probably won't come out for a while so if you want to buy a 3DO,
go to a toy store or something and ask em about it.

MediaVision (in Fremont, CA) is bankrupt in case you didn't know but I think
the BBS is still online. Call 510-770-0968 before it goes out....
I don't know NEC's BBS number (do they have one?) but you could try looking

For Mitsumi CDROM, It is cost $129 without controller and $139 with
controller. It would cost $40 for shipping via US Postal Airmail and It
take about a week to get to Belgium. I also ship freight collect via UPS
or Federal Express. Freight collect mean, you just pay for the parts and
for the shipping, you will pay with the freight company when it arrived
I also can get order most of CD titles which you may needed.

SA** HB> We're the Canadian Distributor for Morse Linux Slackware 2.0
SA**I'm looking for ANY flavor of PC-Unix, Linux, etc. on CD. Have you
SA**any other, or is Morse the full scope?
SA**Of course, if you haven't any others, I'd appreciate a point in the
SA**right direction!
Yes, we have others, including Yggdrasil Plug & Play, and InfoMagic.
However, I have found that Morse seems to have a better and easier
installation, particularly on their quarterly.
The Slackware distribution mentioned above has been very successful.
Out of all the packages we've sold (and we're talking plenty!), not one
has been returned! And, Morse comes with a 30 day money-back guarantee.
So, needless to say, we're very keen on "suggesting" Morse over the
others -- fewer problems, easier installation, 90 day free tech support,
and lots more! But then, what do I know?? :)
If you'd like to see the contents, dial up our BBS and download
LINSLACK.ZIP. At the same time, why not download our latest Fall CD

I have the "Space Shuttle" CD. It requires Windows. It has
information about the first 53 space shuttle missions, diagrams on the
shuttle, brief histories of each vessel as well as some other
information. Quite a bit of video animation as well as good sound. If
you are interested in this disk, let me know and we can work something
out.
It is not a BBS ready disk as there is nothing you can dload from it.
However, I thought you may be interested for general interest sake since
it does deal with the topics you mentioned. TTYL.

A CD-ROM REPORT REVIEW
******************************************************
Product: Space and Astronomy CD-ROM
Manufacturer: Walnut Creek CD-ROM
Phone #: 1-800-786-9907
Price: $39.95
If you are an astronomy or space buff, you'll like what you find on
Walnut Creek's Space and Astronomy CD-ROM. It contains 12,161 files
in 219 directories or 516MB of data. There are close to 1100 image
files of the planets and moon, assorted Messier objects (galaxies,
clusters and nebulae), shuttle pictures, Hubble images and more.
Most of these are in Compuserve's popular GIF format, although there
is a directory of Targa (TGA) images of the earth as well. There are
GIF viewers for Amiga, Atari ST, DEC, Mac, MS-DOS, MS Windows, Next,
OS/2, Silicon Graphics, Sparc and X11 so you should have no problem
finding a viewer for your platform on this disc.
Also on this disc are 5,000 text files including astronaut data, Nasa
Daily News, JPL Press Releases, JPL Universe, Space Digest, FAQs and
shuttle info. All text files are provided in zipped and unzipped
form.
Walnut Creek's VIEW program is also included for MS-DOS users and it
makes navigating the disc and viewing files a breeze, though I wished
it had a way to tag multiple files for extraction.
BBS owners will appreciate Walnut Creek's commitment to provide
support for the most popular BBS software on their discs.
This is a must have disc for all astronomy, space and shuttle
enthusiasts.

CD-ROM Review: DeLorme Mapping Street Atlas USA 2.0 (tm)
by John P. Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
DeLorme Mapping has something here. It's not absolutely perfect but
it's not far off. I managed to find the little central Ohio crossroads
village where I spent many a week climbing the tailings piles of the
abandoned coal mines with my cousins and the street (?) they lived on.
I found all the back roads around my High School days stomping
grounds, even a few of the really tiny dead-ends where we late teens
used to park the old Edsel and discuss the meaning of Life. (uh, yeah,
right)
That adds up to a pretty good map book in my book. Since you get the
whole USA in a single package, it adds up even better. If there's a
PCMCIA CD-ROM interface this would be a salesman's or truck driver's
dream.
The program worked for me right out of the box, installed easily and
didn't argue with anything else that clutters my Program Manager and
sometimes gives Windows nervous jitters. Once you learn the buttons'
functions and get used to using the magnification function, (Took me
about 20 minutes without RTFM) Street Atlas found everything I looked
for, without exception.
You can search by Place Name (City, State) ZIP Code, and Phone Number.
(Area Code+Exchange) Once you get that close, Streets Find can
identify the street down to the address block. At that level, the
Status Bar at the bottom of the screen even tells which addresses are
on which side of the street. If you're just browsing through, you can
center the cross-hair on a city or locale, click the left mouse button
to center the map on that spot, and just zoom in until you find the
street you want. Or you can zoom to the 13 level and then use Streets
Find to go the rest of the way home.
Now I tried both methods in New York City, Baltimore MD, Los Angeles,
Hilo HI, Anchorage and Fairbanks AK, And a slew of small and
medium-sized cities and towns. So far it hasn't failed me. Some of the
real out-back rural roads I looked at just for curiosity aren't marked
often enough for my taste and I'd like county identification for those
places where a street name changes at the county line or just for a
little more general information. Some of those roads, of course only
have local names. They appear on official maps only as being there,
unnamed, if they aren't dedicated to a political subdivision.
A particularly nice feature is the Overview Map. Nestled in the right
lower corner of the screen, it provides a quick move capability for
those times you find yourself in high magnification but a little way
to one side of the suburb you're really seeking.
I must say, though that Street Atlas USA doesn't quite cover
everything. We old Hillbillies (tm) have a way of referencing some
addresses like this, "Waal, it's jist over the county line on the
Godawful Mountain side. You know, the north slope of the hill ol'
Jerry Bob ran his truck off of Spring before last. Where they covered
up the ol' strip mine."
Try as I might, I couldn't get the Search by Place Name function to
locate that address block. Can't have everything, I guess, but you get
just about everything else.

Hello Everyone:
I'm planing to buy a cd-rom drive and since i have a gateway computer
i gave them a call and they sell a 2X drive made by NEC (so they
said) for $ 169.95. They told me i didn't need the controller card ,
because, i could use the one on the motherboard (IDE) for the second
hard diks ( which i don't have ).
Anyone out there with such a drive ?.. Is it good/bad/other comments ?
Thanks in advance for any input on the subject.

*** PANARRAY INFORMATION ***
The Panarray CD-ROM sever is now one of, if not THE most,
economical solution for multiple double speed CD drive access for your
computer. Based on the Panasonic 562/563 drives manufactured by
Matsushita, the Panarray offers both performance and economy for
business, education, and BBS's.
Drive Specifications:
The CD-ROM drives themselves are a double speed caddyless unit
with a motorized tray which is also software ejectable. Data transfer
rate is 300kb, and average access time is 300ms. The drives also have
a 64k hardware buffer, and comply to MPC II and Kodak photo CD
specifications. Drive identification is set via jumpers on the drives
which are then chained with a ribbon cable to the inside of the DB-25
port on the case.
Enclosure Specifications:
The Panarray case is a compact 15.5L X 6.75W X 10.25H, with a 200W
power supply and 2 extra cooling fans (for a total of 3) giving the
case more than ample cooling. The back of the case has a standard
female DB-25 port for data transfer, and uses a standard male-male DB-
25 cable, as well as power switch, and standard RCA audio plugs. The
face of the case has a green LED for power on indication.
General Info:
The Panarray uses a proprietary controller card, which is jumper
selectable for IO addresses from 300 to 370. Multiple Panarrays may be
used with a controller for each by setting a different IO address on
each card and in the software driver.
Audio is available also from drive 1, and can either be supplied
from the RCA jacks or through a sound card with an audio cable from the
controller to the sound card. Simultaneous audio operation of drive 1
and data retrieval from drives 2-4 is possible.
The Panarray has been run under DOS, Windows, and OS/2 (separate
driver required for OS/2). As well as network environments such as
Netware Lite, and Personal Netware. For networks the Panarray would be
used on a client machine and the drivers are allowed to select the next
available drives on that machine. Then the drives can be re-mapped on
the network.
Since the Panarray is not a jukebox type of changer, all drives
are accessible individually reducing the wait time on jukeboxes for
disk changing.
The Panarray is now shipping, and offers most of the same
functionality of SCSI CD-ROM mini towers at almost half the cost. This
gives offices, schools, businesses, and BBS's an economical solution
for the online storage of 2.6 gigabytes of data per unit. Contact us
for ordering information.
All this for the low, low price of $769.00 +$5.00 S/H

combinations on my sound card. Someone mentioned that changing the IRQ on the

Piffle. There are only two files infected on the disk; otherwise,
it's a fine investment. For sysops, it's VERY easy not to include
those files in the filebase, leaving end users at no risk
whatsoever.
In the end, there is no reason not to buy it, especially since
v10.1 was released minus the virus-infected files. Really now.

Subj: Adaptec + CDROM under DOS Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I am experiencing problems trying to attach a Toshiba TX-3401 external CD-ROM
drive to an Adaptec AHA-1522 under Microsoft MS-DOS with Adaptec supplied
drivers. The operating system is installed on a SCSI-2 hard disk from Fujitsu,
model M2266S-512. The same setup works perfectly on the same machine running
under IBM's OS/2 2.1GA but under MS-DOS although the ASPI driver installs it
does not initialise the CD-ROM and MSCDEX.EXE fails to locate the unit. This
is
with Initialise Synchronous Negotiation" set on. With said jumper removed the
CD-ROM appears to initialise but the hard disk fails and the machine crashes,
under MS-DOS or OS/2.
The Adaptec has a BIOS AHA-1520 from 1990 and the board is v1.4.
Two drivers have been tried, the originals supplied with the board which are
the
"ASPI DOS MANAGER ASW-1210 v2.1" and an update sent by Adaptec "EZ-SCSI FOR
DOS/WINDOWS v2.0 p/n 562100 revision A" and both fail with the same error.
QEMM v6.0 is installed but the drivers have been tried with a standard
configuration and also with a stripped config.sys and autoexec.bat, ruling out
this type of possible clash. I repeat that the same setup works perfectly
under
OS/2 so it is fairly sure to rule out IRQ/DMA/Memory clashes.
Thankyou in advance for your attention and I eagerly await your reply.
Yours Faithfully.
Una Salutacio,
Bye Good;-)

Neither do I. But I guess it has got something to do with the graphics. No

Well, 25 turns take about 1-2 minutes, but the worst is the scrolling, even if
you do press the shift-key to scroll 5 tiles at a time.
Does Sierra have an internet-adress?
Maybe we could enquire what the hell the game is taking so much time.

I had the same problem, here's what you do, as soon as you hear the

tower. If it doesn't work, once your in the room start pressing the right

My joystick ran fine with it until about a month ago. Now, no joysticks
will work. When plugged in, the music slows down, and will not recognize
the joystick. If i move the cursor with the keys, it resists like I'm
holding onto the joystick and pushing it in the other direction. If I'm
in a typing box (i.e., entering a saved game name) the music resumes
back to normal. As soon as I'm done it goes back all wacked...

If you are Under DOS or Windows and Want to listen to AUDIO CDs
without using the external JACK for headphones or speakers then you will
need to connect an AUDIO CABLE from The BACK of the CD-ROM Unit to the
SOUND CARD. You may want to check your local computer stores(COMP USA,
etc) for this cable. All else fails contact the Sound Card manufacture
and give them the Model CD-Rom Player and type of sound card combo you
have and they should provide you with a AUDIO Connection CABLE.
I have a Media Vision Pro Audio Studio connected to a SONY 33UA, so I
called Media Vision and got an AUDIO CABLE, so Now ALL AUDIO CDs are
heard through my sound card without using the EXTERNAL JACK. NOTE :
some sound cards do not SUPPORT CD-ROM Audio connections, and others
do NOT have the proper Connection for a specific CD-ROM UNIT. Good
Luck - OH and don't pay more than $10-$12 +$2 for shipping.

I don't know what kind of mail you want be this is a cdrom / games

Hints for Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
Problem:
The Final Confrontation
Hint:
When @Tetelo comes to sacrifice Grace, use the Talisman on Tetelo. Toss the
the
Talisman to Mosely. Once Tetelo grabs Gabriel, use the "Pick Up" icon on the
"Stone Idol". The stone idol will appear under the ceremonial table. At this
point you have two options to end the game. First, betray Malia and use the
knife on her. Then you can either do nothing, or use the "Pick Up" icon on
Malia while she is hanging in the pit. Either choice will lead you to The End.
Notes: I got this directly off of The Sierra BBS, and although I edited out
the prompts and stuff, it's exactly what was up there (unless I accidentally
deleted something). Anyhow, great game, hope you enjoy it.

Everyone,
I am now selling the hit MPC CD-ROM game MYST. This game pits
you in a surrealistic world filled with mind boggling puzzles you need
to solve to find out what happened to this world's inhabitants. This
game was very challenging for me, an experienced game player, I was
even forced to buy the hint book in order to finish. This game is for
Windows and requires a 386dx/33 with 4 megs of RAM, SVGA(640*480*256),
and a sound card to hear and experience it all. Included on the disk is
a 15 minute Quicktime for windows movie on how the game was produced.
In all major publications and stores this game is still selling for
upwards of $50. I am selling the game and the hint book for a total of
$45. That's a savings of over $20 combined. Get on this oppurtunity
fast as I am first come first serve since I only have one.
Allan K. Eyre
p.s. I also have the NON-CD-ROM version of Sam & Max hit the road for
$20 along with Pivateer for $30 and Police quest 3 for #15. Trades for
these will be accepted and only games of equal value for MYST.

Hey, no thanking me! I have no idea where a MV FTP is. I just got me
some internet access and I can't seem to find anything. I had to call
MediaVision BBS to get the latest drivers. Oh well, got them, trashed
them and got a new CDROM drive.

Well, as I told you in a previous message, I trashed the SCSI drive in
favor of a proprietary Panasonic drive. Works fine, if not better. I
least I don't have to pull out the GUS everytime I want to use it. That
was a real pain. Well, are you running the Toshiba (if it's SCSI) on
the MV sound board? That's what I was doing and it didn't seem to work
with the GUS inside. Oh well, guess you'll just have to call MV BBS to
obtain the newest drivers. But if yours work fine, chances are you really
don't need new ones. I've heard that NEC 3x actually work better with
an older version of TLSCDR. It might go the same for your drive too. Oh
well.

problem during the intro sequence. The sound pops and breaks up. I tried
everything I know of and asked a lot of questions. I changed my SBCD setup
files M:20 to 25, 30,50,100 etc. I'm at the end of my rope. Sound is very
important to me and I've encountered this problem on dozens of programs since
the 7th Guest. If there's ANYONE out there good at troubleshooting CDROMS,

SR>how to get the boat to start
You need Rats to get the "squeaky wheel moving." You get them from the
General Store. (see reply to incinerator question.)
SR>the bowman to leave
He's blind, we needs milk, too.
SR>the purpose of the illuminite rocks
I haven't gotten that far yet.
SR>the purpose of the incenerator
Pugney says the Bra Box is only good for rubbish, which often goes in an
incinerator, right? When it's burned, it leaves a wire which is good
for picking the lock at the General Store.
SR>the Whispering Woods, what is in there?
I'm still trying to figure that out.
I'm stuck at the tunnel near the skeleton now. I can't figure out how
to get past the guard. I'm going to try eatting carrots to improve
my eyesight even more (Rebecca said carrots are good for eyesight.)
Any advice out there?

If they are internal, I would guess about 3 or 4 depending on how many

Just to jump in here, APO/FPO is mainly for U.S. military overseas. But
it also for certian government employees and contracters. APO is for
Europe, Middle East and that part of the world and FPO is for the pacific
rim area. If you are interested where each APO/FPO is it is available at
the post office in their zip code reference. The cost is the same if you
were send ing mail to New York for the APO and to California to the FPO.

P.S. I get all my mail through the APO.

abspielen, die Controller Karte besitzt auch entsprechende
Ausgaenge, warum wird also kein Ton an den Audio-Ausgaengen
abgegeben oder ist grundsaetzlich immer auch eine Soundkarte

Doom Companion only has graphics add-ons, cheats, editors, etc. + the
shareware version of Doom 1. We should have Doom 2 on CD shortly, but
it looks like it's going to be kind of spendy, at least to start. For
Doom 1 enthusiasts, Doom Mania is currently our hottest seller, with
500+ additional levels, plus a lot of new level editors/creators, and
other utils. Price is $17.80 in case you're interested.

Why just guess? The documentation that comes with most CD-ROM drives
tells how much current they draw at both 5v and 12v. As long as all
those add up to significantly less than your power supply provides
(allowing for the other boards, memory etc.) (usually indicated on a
label on the supply), you should be okay.

Chestnut's "Too Many Typefonts" CD-ROM contains pretty good assortment
of freeware and shareware fonts. I counted 391 ATM and 512 Truetype
fonts. Most seem be developed in Fontographer or ports from
Fontmonger or Alltype which makes me question the original source of
some of the fonts in question.
Also on the disc are numerous utilities, printer drivers, text files
and programs. Some of them appear to be ancient. For example, a
*very* early version of Ghostscript/DOS is included. There are some
gems as well, such as Typeview, a freeware Postscript type viewer with
print capabilities that runs under Windows.
The file management system on the disc is one of the best I've seen.
A *real* version of LIST is also included which makes it easy to view,
run and manipulate files.
I found the disc to be well worth the $19 I paid.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Howdy all!
I've seen a few messages about the Pioneer 6 CD changer. I've just
ordered one (couldn't beat the price!) so I'm in need of INFO!
Is a disk changer a bad idea for a 5 line BBS with 2000 users (all file
hunters)?
The reason I ask is the 5 sec disk spin on the change..... is it going
to be a problem when users try to fight over the CD? It'll be on one of
2 file servers on a Lan 6.0 10MIP network...
Also how do the disks set up as devices (drives) am I looking at 1
device with a spin command or is it going to setup as drive E: F: G: H:
I: & J: with the drive access sparking up the change?
ANY help or info would be great! As far as a SCSSI 2 card goes is it
worth it for me to buy a 512 - 16meg cashing VLB card or is an ISA
noncash going to cutt the mustard?
Thanks in advance

Trane!
A local sysop found two files infected on the Night Owl #10 -- I
didn't ask him what they were. There is also an archive with 4
infected PKLITEd files. As I mentioned previously, these files
from the archive can only be directly detected by SDSCAN 28.02
from Novell DOS v7.0.
F-Prot v2.13, Integrity Master v2.11a (registered) and TBAV v6.22
all require that these files get unpacked before they will also
detect the virus in these files. I used UNP v3.15 (Ben
Castricum) to do the unpacking.
Until the makers of F-Prot update their utility to beat the
peculiar PKLITE format of these files, I rather not mention the
name of this archive. There are people on the Virus Echo who are
much more comfortable than I in discussing this archive.
I had provided Shirley with the methods to detect all the viruses
on Night Owl #10. If she *really* need the names of these
infected files, Shirley can always NetMail me.

Wrong. There are at least 2 files and an archive with 4
compressed files infected on the disk. See above.
A fine investment? You MUST be talking about Night Owl #10.1.
Yes, it is easy for sysops not to include those files in their
filebases, leaving users at no risk. However, if someone knows
the name of the files, they can still download those files on
some BBS. For example, I can do that on BBS running a Maximus
setup.
This is an easy access for wannabe virus troublemakers and/or
collectors.
TF> In the end, there is no reason not to buy it, especially since
TF> v10.1 was released minus the virus-infected files. Really now.
Who said anything about version 10.1 of Night Owl? I was talking
about version 10. Please try not to put words into my mouth.
(chomp, chomp) Really now. (evil grin)
As *I* said previously to Shirley, I can only comment on Night
Owl #10.

No, he's right, sony have come out with a 2 1/2 inch or so CD that you put
into a walkman type CD drive, the disks hold 74 minutes and you can get either
the reader only or the read/writer. The disks are incased in something that

11th Hour has been delayed for almost a year now... and counting. It was

then to September '94, and the latest news is February '95. I wouldn't hold
your breath though, the way its going, you might expect it by the end of summer
'95. Jeesh! I really do lose a lot of respect for companies that announce
tentative release dates and then end up pushing them back and back and back...

I have a Gateway computer with the NEC 2X drive hooked up to an IDE
controller. So far, no problems and the drive is definitely faster than the
1X drive I have in the other computer (Mitsumi). The NEC does not require
a disk cady and opens and closes the door/slide mechanism at the touch of
a button. The drive also has a socket for headphones and a volume control.
One thing you might ask Gateway is, do they have a utility that will allow
you to use the CD as an audio CD player. The Mitsumi came with a small
program, PLAY.EXE, that would do this and it does work with the NEC drive.

| recommendations on drives or ones I may be overlooking?
I have the SB16 SCSI-2 (without ASP) and the Toshiba 3401. I've been
very pleased with it so far. I looked at the Chinon too, but decided on
the Toshiba because its access time and transfer rates were a bit better
and the cost was roughly the same.
I've discovered only one negative point about the drive. It has a
little flip-down door which you must open and then close manually when
you load a disc. It doesn't really bother me, but it might bother some
folks. I believe the Chinon has a VCR-style flip-up door.
CR| Also what additional items would I need if I bought a bare drive
| thru mailorder?
You'll need a SCSI cable if you don't have one, plus an audio cable if
you want to play audio CDs through the sound card.

Koen, is your CD-ROM interfaced with a proprietary interface card or a sound
card? If it's the proprietary interface card some CD-ROMs will only play
audio CDs through the headphone jack on the front of the drive. What
manufacture is the drive? Really need more info.

I'm afraid you haven't given me enough info. When does the sound cut out?
There are a couple of possible problems. If your playing a game and the soun
cuts out when no disk is being read your game could be looking for your sound
card at a differant IRQ than you have it set at. Or if your sound cuts out
when reading a disk you have a bottle neck in speed somewhere. I just upgraded
to a overdrive chip and found some of my programs gave me better sound. The
sound didn't cut on and off anymore. This happened when the computer was
trying to output sound and video at the same time. If you can give me more
info I might be able to help.
From what I have read the CD interface on the sound blaster isn't that great.
You might want to try an interface card, they only cost about 20 bucks. As for
changing the IRQ on the drive itself, I couldnt say but have never heard of it
before. I hope I have(can) help you, even tho I have been using computers for
10 years I'm still new to CD drives myself.

RB> Is a disk changer a bad idea for a 5 line BBS with 2000 users (all file
RB>hunters)?
As long as your BBS supports changers, it won't be any problem at all.
There are two special requirements. First, the BBS should copy the
files from CDROM to your hard drive before starting the download. That
means the only time the CDROM is being used is when a download starts.
Second, it should use some sort of drive locking scheme while copying
the files. Otherwise, if two people start downloads from two different
disks at the same time, it goes back and forth. That's very slow.
WildCat 4.0 supports both these requirements, so judging by your
tagline, you should be safe.

Don't bother. Even the quad speed changer is a relatively slow device.
Remember that a hard disk can transfer several meg per second, compared
to 600 k/sec for the quad speed changer. Even an 8 bit card is fine.
The cache won't help either. That is primarily useful when you will be
re-reading the same information in the near future. Most of the time,
your users will be accessing completely different files.

the CD-ROM was 1.2. I finally (but reluctantly) downloaded v1.5. In the
readme file I noticed in the bug fixes that there was a PS2 mouse bug in 1.2.
Anyway I think Doom is awesome!!! And it's Shareware!!!
Unbelievable. Close to the best game I've ever played. I appreciate the tip
about using the keyboard. It works good to. What I usually do is go forward
or reverse with the keyboard and I steer with the rat.
I appreciate your reply, I was beginning to wonder If anybody would even
respond.

I've had a Pioneer DRM-600 for about a year or so now with no problems (Future
Domain Controller). I've recently added a DRM-602X as a second SCSI device.
I opened the cover on the DRM-600 and pulled off the Terminator Packs and
flipped the switch on the back of the 602 to turn on termination on the new
drive. When I dir of a Cd on the new drive, It's all corrupted. If I remove
the 600 from the chain and just have the 602 as a single drive, it works fine.
I've been playing with the switches thinking it's a termination problem but
I'm stumped. I've also changed around the Device ID's...
Any clues?

^^^\..In response to../^^^
Very good drive and it does install easily provided you follow the instructions
and you have the cable to allow a 2nd IDE device. Spell and space correctly the
config.sys line statement and try it out. Since you probaly have DOS 6.x you
can hit the F8 key upon booting to see any errors also make sure you copy your
orginal autoexec and config just in case it burps upon your install. Plus
Gateway can phone talk you thru the install if still under warranty. I WAS a
Gateway authorized service person under HP contract, they provide on-site
support if Gateway can't help you over the phone. -----Bill

Did you find a letter and read it? It gives a good clue on where to

You need the latest drivers. If you lose voices, go into the mixer and
set the gain level higher. I had a problem with Seventh Guest. Heard
music but could barely hear voices. Hope this helps...I'm not an expert
on sound and I have had the SB16 for only two months.

When I plug the audio out plug (small white) into the Sound Blaster CD-IN

- the cd sound comes out of the headphones OK only when the audio plug
is not connected.
- sound card works fine in test mode (games, computer music ...)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Has anyone had a similar situation?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Yes I think you do because without the driver the cd won't be
recognized as a drive so smartdrv will ignore the E+ because it can't find
drive E. Also you don't need the + because that enables read and write
caching but cd's are all write protected.

I have a Panasonic Dual Speed Drive connected to a SCSI/2 controller card.
It appears that whenever I now enter Windows, Windows will freak out (since
when does it not?:) if I don't have disc in the drive.
Also, the drive will not acknowledge a disc being in the drive when one
has been in it for a prolonged period of time (and the machine has been
on as well:).
Any help welcomed...
Peace,
Justin...

I had that exact configuration hooked up here two days ago and it worked
like a charm.
Just for grins, re-enable the termination on the 600A and disable
termination on the 602X. Then run the cables from the SCSI board
to the 602X and from the 602X to the 600A.
Also, use the driver that came with the 602X for both drives. You
only need to load the driver once for both drives. Refer to the
Device Driver Software manual that came with the 602X for a specific
example.
Finally, make sure you try this with a bare system. Don't put any
drivers in the config.sys except the one for the cdrom. Don't put
anything in your autoexec.bat except for the MSCDEX. If that works,
then start adding back other drivers, EMM386/QEMM, etc.
Good luck!

select 4 irq's My system uses all of thos 4 IRQ's so right now I disabled the
mouse so I can use the drive. Any ideas on how to get the mouse and the cd to
work or how to cange an irq to a higher number say 9 and above? If I take it
to a shop they want 35.00 to start. If I did that it would negate the saving
on the cheap drive. What do you thinl?

(*groan*) I had previously suggested that you repost to the
Virus Echo. Please consider waiting a month before connecting to
this echo. Recently, the Virus Echo appeared to be compromised.
Some moron(s) from 1:107/411 had posted at least 200 message
packets of obscene comments. I'll spare you the quotes.
I would like to believe that this was an accidental cross-linking
of the Virus Echo and an adult chat echo. Unfortunately, the use
of the name of well known Virus Echo callers as the "origin" of
these messages proves otherwise.
The moderator should have the problem cleaned up soon, but the
chatter from irritated people will continue for a while. You
shouldn't have to wade through that junk.
I thought I should warn you by Netmail rather than by public
mail. No need to flood the Virus Echo with curiousity seekers.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Thanks for answering. You have made some very good points. Let me try to give
more information. Certain game CDs work fine, and one in particular does not
(Goblins 3). Here's exactly what happens. First of all, the opening cartoon
segment: The cartoon begins and so does the sound. But after a few short
seconds, the sound instantly cuts off. You mentioned 2 scenarios. Well, in this
case, my CD-ROM drive light is flickering. Maybe its because of the bottleneck
you described. When the cartoon is finished, the game comes to a small segment
where the logo of the game is displayed. At this point, the music comes back.
When the game begins, the sound effects and music start up, but after a short
delay. After this, everything works fine for a while. But when you move the
main character to a new location, the screen does a blow up of his face, and he
attempts to speak. This is what I hear: "I must leave this ship by
the.......(cuts off right here). When you complete the first mission, there is
another cartoon with more digitized speech. Again, after a few words, the sound
cuts off completely - no music, no sound effects. Believe my Mike, its driving
me crazy, its really frustrating. But when I play, lets say King's Quest VI
where the whole game is digitized speech, I have no problem.
I also heard the interface on SB16 is not that great. People I know have also
complained. However, I lent the game to someone who has SB16 (but a slightly
better model - i.e SCSI or something) and he said it worked fine. Strange! (O.K
- this is getting really long) Do you think it could have anything to do with
my microprocessor? Its not Intel, but a Cyrix chip. Hope you can give me some
more advice!

You probably need to unplug the speakers from the back, and plug them into the
front headphone jack......or (*like I did at work*) getting a cable made to
connect the sound card to the audio on the CD-ROM.....

Have you tried calling them? I had a similar problem with something I
received......I called UPS (*since it came via them*) and had them inspect the
package...there was no visible signs of damage to the outside box, so they said
it was not their problem. Called the manufacturer and they sent me
replacement, after they gave me a Return Goods Authorization Number and I
returned the damaged CD back to them. Took a little time, but only cost me the
postage!!
Good luck.....

To quote Shirley Mitchel "Which files on Nite Owl #10 are infected?" It seems

chance. If someone out there knows which files are infected in the above CD,
then it would be most appreciated if they would post it. I would think that

At this moment your CD drive doesn't exist yet as far as your computer

Now your computer discovers the CD, but since smartdrive's already

Guess my point is: you need to load MSCDEX before Smartdrive, and than

Why don't you log onto the appropriate forum on their BBS? You will
find that the drive is incompatible with 32 bit file access, but it
seems to work effectively otherwise. You can order on-line, too.
They also have a nice CD-ROM disk bundle for $100.
Be careful, when you see a 540 Meg HDD for $270 you may just fill up
your vacant hard drive potential. This is no problem if you have a
recent Gateway, as they accept four HDDs without the need for
another controller.
I have to dial a pay number (from Japan), but there may be an 800
number that you can try, if not the BBS is on:

While I am planning to get a following compatible sound card/drive combo, I
need help with actually dealing with the following options?
I really don't _need_ or can't really afford a fully blown system (i.e. over
$250.00).
I already have a reliable single-speed external SCSI NEC CDR-25BJ [had been
sold by Media Vision]. I would like to use with a genuine Creative Labs Sound
Blaster 16 card.
Questions:
a) Has anyone used this combination successfully? If so, what is involved to
hook it (the CDR-25) to the card externally (how much is the external cable
setup and where do you get it -- it is not listed in the brochures I have
received from Creative Labs). I am not interested in any answers other
than first hand "yes, it works and this is what I did" or "no, it won't
because I found..." I have already spent $20 in gas after purchasing
Adaptec's AVA-1505 (just for CD-ROM, no sound) because my under-2-yr-old
drive was not supported by this card. I need first hand facts, not
assumptions.
b) I also have an extra IDE connection on a multi I/O card I use with my
EPSON flat-bed scanner. Will this new Sony drive work with most/all
IDE connections? What is the street price for this drive?
I know that I can solve all possibilities by buying a completely outfitted
setup but after already surpassing my budget by $100 on other purchases, I need
to try to economize, if possible or wait until early next year, at the
earliest......

VGA SPECTRUM
Reviewed by
Tony Thomas
____________________________________________________________
Trying out new CD-ROMs is always a treat. I find it interesting how
different CDR manufacturers organize the vast quantities of data
contained on each disc, what kind (if any) search engines are employed
and what kind of unique features can be found. Finally, there's the
"stuff": megabytes upon megabytes of data. Enough data to cram a few
dozen large hard drives. All on a tiny disc. Amazing.
One of my latest finds is VGA Spectrum, a public domain/shareware disc
containing an assortment of "stuff" for the graphics fanatic. There
are GIFs. Dozens and dozens of nice quality, high resolution GIFs.
(Rated G to PG) Then, there are games. An assortment of nice quality
games.
There are Soundblaster and Ad Lib Files. And plenty of FLI and GRASP
animation files with viewers. There is a nice collection of clip art
in various formats, including PCX, TIFF, Wordperfect, MAC, First
Publisher and Printmaster. And finally, a great bunch of graphics
utilities including viewers, format converters and more.
Since there is no search/unzip engine, I recommend using Vern Buerg's
classic LIST program to navigate its files. The directory structure
is simple and unconvoluted, making it easy to find what you're looking
for in a jiffy (or is that GIFfy)? Plus, all compressed files are in
PK's self-extracting EXE format, making them easy to extract to your
hard or RAM disk without any fuss. I wish more CD-ROM companies would
adopt self-extracting file formats like PK and LHARC for data
compression.
If you are into graphics or desktop publishing, I heartily recommend
this disc. When used with a program like Graphics Workshop, you'll
have an endless collection of clip art, without having to devote
megabytes of hard disk real estate. When used with programs like
Compushow, VuImage, Picem or VPic, you can create slide shows that
last for hours without buying a bank of hard disks to store your GIFs.
If you're into games, animation or sound files, you'll be glued to the
computer for hours. At about $40 at discount, VGA Spectrum is one of
the best values you'll find in CD-ROM graphics software.

You determine the drive by what you tell the drive to be with your

are assigned automaticlly.Make sure your lastdrive statement
in your config.sys is set high enough I have lastdrive=z
You will have to load a driver for scsi adapter first in your
config.sys and later in the config.sys you will add the driver
for the pioneer drive. If using Lantastic 6.0 make sure you
define these drives as cdroms. also allocate 100 for each of the disks
for Non-Dos Disk support. Your Mscedex statement must come after
redir and before server.

cancel the deal, my dealer, who is also my friend, will be in debt trouble
and I really don't want to have that happend.
I called NEC company not long ago...they answered me that those two
models were indeed differed in features and performance, and thus the
price. The same thing I also heard from the retailers. But my dealer
friend is also trying to assure me that they only differe in the
package...such like more colourful manul.
So please anyone. If you are using CDR-500 or CDR-510, leave me a mail as
soon as possible if you know the difference. I you ae actually a dealer,
then please help me!!! Hurry! Hurry!.....<G> I will greatly appreciate your
help.

Greg, I installed the older Mitsumi LU-005 single-speed CD-ROM with
a 16-bit SoundBlaster card (not the new Multi-CD version). To get the
sound to go from the CD-ROM thru the sound card, I just connected the
audio wire BACKWARDS onto the male posts near the top of the
SoundBlaster. The only physical modification I had to make was to clip
off the nub from the end of the audio wire.
If you're installing a CD-ROM and soundcard that aren't intended to work
with each other, try connecting the audio the normal way. If no sound
comes out, try reversing the leads. This probably will require minor
surgery to the soundcard end of the audio wire that comes with the
CD-ROM.

This will put a smile on your face; I bought the Pioneer 6 disk changer
602 for around $900 about 9 months ago.. Prices have really come down. I too
run it on Lantastic with several other computer. I use a 486, 386, and run the
Pioneer off, (get this) a 286 computer with no hard drive. It has one meg of
ram and it's ONLY use if to control the Pioneer. Yes, you will have drive
letters assigned to it from I thru N. I will import my config.sys and
autoexec.bat below for your study of my setup.
I will tell you this. If more than one person is accessing the changer,
for different CD disks, say drive I and J, it will go back and forth between
the two CDs taking up a lot of time. There might be a work around that and if
you find it, let me know. I find it rare that it happens, but when it does, it
takes about 5 minutes for both callers to get the files copied to the hard
drive for downloading.
Here below is my autoexec.bat and config.sys running under Lantastic with 3
computers. Oh, I also have two other CD drives, one in each of the other two
machines. I hope you are using Ethernet Lan type system. If using just
paraelle cables, the transfer time for just one 300k file can be 3-5 minutes...

Here it is again:)
I have a Sony CDU33A and a generic sound card and had the same problem. While
looking through the documentation for both products I found that the pin
settings were different; for example:
CD-Rom lft spkr grnd grnd rt spkr
+ - - +
sound card lft spkr grnd rt spkr grnd
+ - + -
If ya look at the small white cable there should be some very small holes on
one side (both ends). Using a small tool, (dental pick in my case), I pushed
it into these holes , releasing the connector catch, while at the same time
pulling the wires out. Do this on the end that connects to the sound card. I
then put the wires back into the small white connector in their correct
place......No problem since. Try it and let me know what happens....Curtis

The standard driver maps each disk to a separate drive letter, so
that should be no problem...
If you want all the disks to appear as one drive letter, it is fairly
easy when you are running a network. Here is an example using
Lantastic:
Before -> Server (CDROM/Resource Name) Workstation
---------------------------- -----------------
S: -> S-DRIVE NET USE S: \\SERV\S-DRIVE
T: -> T-DRIVE NET USE T: \\SERV\T-DRIVE
etc etc
After -> same... NET USE S: \\SERV
(that's it)
Now, to access the six disks, the workstation can use:
S:\S-DRIVE
S:\T-DRIVE
etc

Sorry,but you got me. I would suggest calling sound blasters bbs and getting

If all this fails you might want to try and get an interface card for the

What about turning the volume knob ?
Right. There are different ways to play audio cd's.
1) Connect to a sound source :
Some models has a jack in the front panel to connect headphones.
Some has two kings jacks on the interface card to connect the stereo.
And if you have a sound blaster you can play the cd directly to it.
(but some software is needed)
2) Start playing the cd.
Some models has eject/play buttons on the front panel. Or you can play
the cd with a program. (CDPLAY for example.)

I have installed the Dolphin 8000AT cdrom drive on my '386DX40.
(Installed software : Msdos 6.2-Qemm 7.04-Stacker 4.0-4DOS 5.0.)
When I'm using the data on the cdrom it is deformed. For example :
I copy a file from the cdrom to the harddisk and compare this file
with the original on the cdrom. There are differences !! It seems that
soms bytes have been "forgotten" during the transfer. When unpacking
files directly from the cd the same error occures.
Can somebody tell me what happens ?
Thinghs I already tried :
- Taking an other CD
- Disable cache for the cd (of smartdrv)
- Booting with a diskette with only the drivers on it
- Booting with only the minimum of interface cards
- Moving the interface card to an other slot
- Changing the wait states
- Use something else than MSCDEX
- Talking to the vendor
- Praying

November 8th will be an important day for Connecticut and its people --
election day. You have the ability to change the direction of our state and
country with your vote.
The race for United States Senate is between the incumbent, who has raised our
taxes, increased the deficit and national debt, cost Connecticut almost 200,000
jobs in the past 6 years and JERRY LABRIOLA, the challenger.
Jerry Labriola is a pediatrician from Naugatuck. He served in the United States
Navy and was an All American basketball player at Yale.
Jerry Labriola has put forth the only health care reform proposal that doesn't
raise taxes or put the government between you and your doctor.
Jerry Labriola has proposed that we create a tax deduction for the loss a
person takes when he or she sells their primary residence -- the same deduction
that real estate investors can take.
Jerry Labriola is the only Senate candidate who has put forth a crime proposal
that will actually put criminals in jail, build more prison beds and will
support judges who understand the difference between the criminal and the
victim and will impose long stiff sentences.
The question in this race is very simple If you like the incumbent senator has
done to you, your family and our state, then vote for him, if you don't like
what the good ol boys in Washington have done, then vote for change, cast your
vote on November 8th for JERRY LABRIOLA, for U.S. Senate.
If you would like to receive Jerry Labriola's positions stated on CD-ROM,please
call Labriola for U.S. Senate HQ at 203-720-4123. The cost of is $5.00 per CD.

have a genoa that uses a cirrus logic chipset. I called genoa and downloaded
from their bbs a test bios called cl140gl.exe. Running this program took
care of the program. So they sent me the new bios chip for my vid card. You
don't have to have a chip but if you don't you have to load cl140gl.exe all

External SCSI cables with multiple connectors aren't something I've seen
available anywhere, though I've seen internal drive cables with multiple
connectors. Did you notice that both of my SCSI drives are external (no
choice - no internal drive bays left)?
However, unless this helps to get both drives working at the same time,
it's not useful to find such a cable. Will it work any better than two
two-connector external SCSI cables, which I already have?

Hate to jump in here but APO is for Army Post Office (including Europe, Asia,

Generally you have APO AP (Pacific Area) APO AE (Europe Area), etc....

I am a Bluewave Reader user and I can help you some.
First of all there is a Bluewave Reader Echo on Fido. This is the best
place to get all the information you need on it.
I also noticed you are using Bluewave 2.10. The current version is
2.12. In it's .doc's is all of the registration fee notices.
Which is $25.00.
There is a configuration set up men in Bluewave which should give you
all the choices you are asking about (Quoting) It is very simple to
do.
When you are in the first screen just hit "s" and it will take you to
the congig's.
Just go through them all and change what you want.

Robert,
Excuse me for dropping into this message, BUT... I have the same
situation and I am very interested in any information you might get.
I have some knowledge of it. I bought a cdrom and it worked real well.
Then the company sent me a advertisement in the mail. A great "new"
cdrom "driver". Gives you everything you would want in a driver.
thousands of seconds of quicker access time.. ete...
I sent for it. Thirty bucks..
It needs a irq address of it's own. The older version didn't..
I have spent hours attempting to set it up.. no luck..
I am running it on the older version driver which runs find.
Here is all I know of it.
On the cdrom card there is four sets of switches...
JP 1, Jp2,
Sw1, and Sw2
The Jp 1 switch I leave alone...
The Jp2 switch can be set to use irq 2, 3, and 5
According to my set up.. I run dos msp and it shows IRQ 5 as being
free. So I set the Jp2 switch to 5 and changed a line in my config.sys
file as the cdrom card manual instructed.
Now the book saids that I have to set the Sw1 eight swithes to a
particular seeting to get the correst waiting address.
And it have four hundred different settings possible.
So I spent six hours one evening, with the cpu box open and I flipped
those damn switches, which are about the size of a grain of sand.
I set them on at least fifty different address's and still I could
never get the driver to load..
I put everything back together and went back to my old driver, and
have sat back and bit my lip ever since. If you learn anything about
this mess, let me know. I for one would appreciate it.

Donna,
Excuse me for just dropping in. I have a cdrom driver, and I have
never heard of a cleaner....
Would you describe this to me? Would any cdrom cleaning kit work?
I mean, is there a different cleaning kit for the data cdrom drivers
compared to music playing cd's players?
I have had my cdrom for two years and have not cleaned it at all.
I have never heard of a cdrom player cleaner.
Thanks for any time you might spend in responding.

Software Vault: The Emerald Collection (American Databankers)
The concept of a shareware disc is, undoubtedly, an interesting
one. The idea of shareware is that you can try the programs before you
buy them. For about twenty to forty bucks you can obtain all the
shareware you need in the palm of your CD caddy. You need to purchase
each program separately, of course, but a drive filled with properly
licensed shareware can be cheaper than a handful of commercial
software. Sound great? Sure, but there's one problem: unless you can
convince a sysop to stock every shareware CD on the market on-line,
you do have to buy before you try. The question is, then, who do you
trust to select the software on the CD you buy?
Here's one disc you can trust--American Databanker's Software
Vault: The Emerald Collection is an excellent assortment of software.
It contains 4023 different files in the following categories:
1-Software Hits 20-Educational 39-Ham Radio
Utilities
2-Business Programs 21-CAD, CAM and Eng 40-Clip Art & Images
3-Wordprocessing 22-DOS Operating System 41-CDROM &
Multimedia
4-Publishing and Fonts 23-Hard Disk Utilities 42-Sound/Track

5-Windows Applications 24-Floppy Disk Utils 43-ADLIB and MIDI
6-Windows Games & etc 25-OS/2, PM and Utils 44-PC Speaker &

7-Spreadsheets 26-Unix Utilitiess 45-Musical Potpourri
8-Database Programs 27-Printer Utilities 46-Programmers Utils
9-Home and Family 28-Network Utilities 47-Assembly Source
Code
10-Text Editors/Viewers 29-Keyboard, Mouse etc 48-Turbo Pascal

11-Text and Reference 30-Screen Utilities 49-"C" and C++

12-Lists and Info 31-File Archiving Utils 50-Basic / Visual
13-Health & Food Recipes 32-Virus Protection 51-dBase and Paradox
14-Games and Humor 33-Personal System 52-Clipper & Foxbase
15-Graphics and Paint 34-Program Demos 53-Source Code, A
to Z
16-GIF & Other Pictures 35-BBS Programs & Utils 54-Miscellaneous
17-Math and Science 36-BBS Doors 55-Frequent
Questions
18-Communications 37-Modem Utilities 56-Icons and More
19-Religious Materials 38-ASP Programs 57-Windows NT Apps
All of the files are ZIPped, except for GIFs, so the count of 4023
is a count of the programs themselves, not of their component files.
The disc comes with an automatic menu system which is rather easy
to use with either the keyboard or mouse. Two versions are provided,
one for DOS and one for Windows. Preferring DOS and also recognizing
that generally Windows applications are generally more user-friendly,
I chose to install the DOS menu system for testing purposes. The only
problem I found was that the up and down arrow keys did not work to
maneuver around the screen, although the left and right easily did
well enough. The 57 categories are divided into twelve general groups,
so finding a particular file is rather simple. The menu will view the
ZIP and give the total amount of disk space necessary to open it and
will even create the directory to unzip into, if necessary. Searching
functions allow scanning repeatedly for a filename or text contained
within the description. Note also that if you don't have the 2 MB
required on your hard disk to install the viewing program you can run
it right off of the CD for a slight sacrifice in time.
The disc is set up BBS-ready (for the above-mentioned sysops who
want to stock every disc on the market) as every directory includes
two BBS formats and one directory has each directory cataloged in
PC-Board format with extensive file descriptions.
The collection of software is very recent: I found the oldest ZIP
to be dated 1-3-94. Knowing the tired old sysop's trick of reZIPping
archives to "touch" the archive date, I opened twenty of the January
archives and found that every one had been written or updated in 1994.
All of the programs I opened seemed to be quite well-written, and the
directories each had a large selection of software. There are a few
errors in arrangement, like the EmergNet application stuck amongst the
recipes/cooking directory, and a few duplicated functions (NOT
duplicated programs, i.e., there are seven different programs in DOS
utilities that will find files, although most have other features.)
Apart from small troubles like this, I found most of my favorites in
this collection and expect to go back to this disc again and again.

Name: Forbidden Subjects
Rating: *** (out of possible 5)
Publisher: Forbidden Productions
System Requirements: MS-DOS, CD-ROM Drive, Windows 3.0+
Capsule Summary: Another "Get Into Jail Free Card" for the brave or
foolish tumbles merrily out of the minds of those free spirits, the
Hackers, Crackers, Phone Phreaks, and other delinquents.
There are quite a few of these little offerings popping up across the
landscape. This is one of the better ones. It has a nice pair of PC
user interfaces based on the reliable MegaSearch program.
The folks who wrote the information on this 200 Megabyte CD don't seem
to be your typical, Kid-Next-Door, funsters. These folks are pretty
serious about a distinctly anarchical approach to life, the
government, the phone company, private property, and everything else.
Much of the technical information is solid if maybe a bit dated. Their
explosives recipes would work, according to some of the folks who hang
around the labs at Kent State. The telephone tricks I had the good
sense (read: intelligent cowardic> e) not to try. And, since I have
little desire to write about jailhouse culture from the inside, the
lockpicking and housebreaking tips I left alone, too.
On second thought, I HOPE these authors aren't Kids-Next-Door; at
least not next door to me.
Among the other subjects floating in this moor of madness are:
Radio Scanner Frequency lists
Amateur Radio tips and tricks
Tips for listening in on your neighbors' cordless and cellular phones
Miscellaneous dirty tricks to play on the 911 operators
Bunches of techniques for mucking about the infrastructure
Various ways of getting others' credit card numbers and using them
without going to jail (They hope)
Sundry hacking tips for breaking into other people's systems
Many, many more fun ways to earn a long vacation at public expense
What you need to do when they come for you (Bad boys, bad boys)
The quality of authorship varies a lot, from rather thoughtful
academic articles, to blistering, poorly spelled and written,
diatribes at government, the police, the telephone company. Most
emphatically, I would not want to have some of these writers angry at
me. Of course, now that I have this CD, maybe they wouldn't want me
mad at them.
So far as the explosives recipes go; don't try this at home, not at
your home anyway. Things that go bang in the night sometimes go bang
at inopportune times. Your spouses, your parents, your Significant
Others, and the local police and fire officials might take a jaundiced
view of incautious experimentation. Not to mention three-letter
agencies of the federal government; you know, ATF, FBI, and so on.
For anyone who would try these things at home, I'd recommend staying
with the files "Primo Pyro" wrote. "Primo," at least emphasizes good
technique and safety and provides .GIF files that might help to reduce
the chances of a ...AHEM... "Fatal Error" message for one's entire
existence. That kind of General Protection Fault you don't want!
The DOS interface installs quickly, works well and reliably, and
supports mouse or keyboard manipulation intuitively: No need to
remember a list of function Key references or to drift aimlessly
through cryptic command line orders here.
The Windows interface is equally clean and tidy. The MegaWin program
operates exactly like every other Windows application, point and click
and get out of the way. Unfortunately, files lacking the usual .TXT,
.ZIP, etc. extensions do leave MegaWin lost in the woods and the user
staring at an alert box that plaintively whimpers, "I don't know what
to do!" I didn't have that problem with the DOS interface.
That's not really a major problem, but it is irritating to have to go
back to DOS to read those files.
A plus for the interfaces is they'll both invoke graphic display and
sound player programs for the several appropriate files on the disk.
The publisher's notes indicate that future releases will include these
utilities. That should make those nice "plug and play" CDs. It would
have been nice if the Windows interface addressed the publisher's
notes and BBS files as well as the main text itself. There's
considerable information in the root directory.
Forbidden Subjects also includes "Files BBS" programs and Doors for
sysops. I didn't try those.
Another problem is that some small number of the files are corrupted
or incomplete. Apparently some downloads from Usenet News and various
BBS systems failed to transfer well. And I did so miss having the last
few bytes of that Home Built Atomic Bomb tutorial! Ah, well, the Dept.
of Energy rejected my application to buy fissionable materials anyway
so it doesn't matter, I guess.
All in all, Forbidden Subjects is a fun virtual bookshelf for the
Walter Mitty-esque Mad Bomber who lives in those deep, deep caves at
the bottoms of all our souls, the ones right next door to the
under-the-bed monsters, the closet monsters, and those memories of the
school bully upon whom we'd just love to try some of these tricks.

Reviews are my opinion only and should not be taken as an inducement
either to purchase or not to purchase any item reviewed.
Comments and criticisms about this and any of my reviews are welcome.
I want to be fair and I'll be the first to admit I don't know
everything about anything. I'm certainly not so expert that I couldn't
possibly miss something. So fire away. I'll reply, assuming I have
time and I'm not in a snit. (See below)
I even occasionally enjoy warming my hands at an intelligent flame.

though.)

CD-ROM Review: DeLorme Mapping's Map'N'Go
Rating: **** 1/2 (of 5)
Publisher: DeLorme Mapping
PO Box 298
Freeport ME 04032 USA
System Requirements: IBM or 100%-compatible; 386 or higher; Windows
3.1 and DOS 4.01 or higher; 4MB RAM; ISO 9660-compatible CD-ROM Drive
with MSCDEX; WIndows-compatible printer (Lasers need 1.5 MB RAM for
150/300 dpi, 6 MB for 600 dpi); VGA video card and monitor with 256
color display (for viewing pictures); Sound card (for audio
descriptions); Mouse strongly recommended.
Capsule Summary: An easy-to-use, very complete trip planner on CD-ROM
comes with Atlas and good docs.
Triple-A has some competition.
DeLorme Mapping has come up with a cure for the traveling blues.
Rather than dragging out 42 partially folded road maps, 16 city maps,
and 3 Super-large-giant bottles of aspirin tablets to the kitchen
table, just sit down at your computer, type in a destination and an
origin, and let it do the work.
You do want to use that format in the Route Manager, by the way. If
you enter origin first it will plan the trip backward. So think To:
From rather than From: To. It ends up looking right in the dialog box
but, the first time I tried it was momentarily confusing and my Trip
Plan went from Abilene, Texas back home to Akron, Ohio. Oopsie! The
simple... version of Route Manager works either way, click on "From"
or "To" and enter your selection.
Other than that and that even DeLorme can't figure out a way to make
a CD-ROM update itself with Orange Barrel Gardens, road closings, etc.
this program will find you a route from almost anywhere to almost
anywhere on the continent. I did manage to lock it up by having it try
to route me to Honolulu, Hawaii. It doesn't seem to be able to cross
water. Maybe a daemon problem, there? The ubiquitous "they" say that
some spiritual beings can't cross water.
If you've used other DeLorme products, Map n' Go works the same way.
You have the same icons with pretty much the same functions.
Documentation is clear and concise and the examples work on screen.
You can search for places by name, ZIP Code, even by telephone area
code-exchange. On-line helps are effective. They even include a rather
nice Atlas and Gazetteer to which the program display keys by noting
the Atlas pages and grid markers at the bottom of the screen.
If you haven't used other DeLorme CDs, There's a nice sound and
picture tutorial that's worth the time if a little too quick for
learning the program in one run-through. Really, though, it's almost
intuitive after the first few minutes.
What is unique about Map n' Go is its use of sound and picture files.
After getting a routing, you can check for "Points of Interest Along
the Way." This function allows you to select items within a
(user-selectable) distance along the route and see and hear
descriptions. That's more than a little fun.
Another neat feature is a listing of accommodations. Zooming in on a
particular place reveals a small box containing several icons. Using a
Macintosh-like click-drag-release mouse function allows you to invoke
listings of hotels, campgrounds, and restaurants as well as program
functions like adding waypoints, etc.
DeLorme seems to have covered all the bases with this one. They've
also included demos of Map Expert, Street Atlas USA, Global Explorer
and, smart marketers that they are, a Catalog of DeLorme Mapping
products. Hey! Might as well put all that storage capacity to good
use.
I'm quite impressed with this one. It has a few limitations like not
telling you you'll need to take a plane or ship rather than just
stopping when it hits water; (Why is that, anyway?) but overall it
beats the living h-e-double-hockey-sticks out of poring over those
maps and eating aspirins.
All I need now is a way to run the computer in the car.

Who's the reviewer?
John P. Husvar (jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu) Art Historian at-Large,
Kent State University (Yes, THAT Kent State!)
I come neither to praise nor to bury Caesar, just to talk about him.
(Sorry, Will!)
Taking the role of the prototypical "Mr. Dumb PC-user," I tend to
look at a new (to me at least) CD with a playful, kind of
Wowsers-what-can-I-do-with-THIS-one(!), point of view. That may result
in sometimes being too easy on one CD and too hard on another.
Usually, it results in my playing with the thing for a few hours to a
few weeks and writing up some general thoughts on what features or
glitches jump out at me, whether I could figure out some good use for
it, and what new things (again, to me) it has > that seem to improve
the breed.
Comments and criticisms about this and any of my reviews are welcome.
I want to be fair and I'll be the first to admit I don't know
everything about anything. I'm certainly not so expert that I couldn't
possibly miss something. So fire away. I'll reply, assuming I have
time and I'm not in a snit. (See below)
I even occasionally enjoy warming my hands at an intelligent flame.

though.)
Reviews are my opinion only and should not be taken as an inducement

In case you haven't noticed, there is virtually NO moderation in this echo. If
I choose to dislike a review for (what I clearly feel) the biased viewpoint it
puts across, it is most certainly within my rights to comment about it. That's
why we call this ECHOMAIL. Public messages are always susceptible to replies.
Obviously, I don't have any authority to enforce what I see as transgressions -
so, why bother pointing out the obvious?

There is no such thing as an objective review. ALL reviews of ANYTHING are

Well, thank you for your spirited defense (if I'm guessing correctly) of a

Hi Carol
Most kind of you to reply to my message. I had a long and expensive talk with
the SB people. It seems that I do have the latest drivers from SB so I have
written to the Broderbond people who publish Myst and have yet to hear from
them. I have completed the Myst adventure so I do not have any great panic to
solve the problem now. However it would be nice to know the solution to the
sound trouble. By the way, setting up mixer volume did not help. I am using a
high gain amplifier but that cannot improve what is not there. How do you like
the 7th Guest program? I have been looking at that in the stores. Would
appreciate your comments.
Thanks again.
Ken.

Robert:
In case Boris doesn't answer, the answer is no. The CM 205MS drive
requires one controller per drive, and they can't be daisy chained. Each
controller uses 1 interrupt, (IRQ3-IRQ6). I just bought two of them. While
they represent an incredible value for the dollar, if you want those sorts of
features, you will need to spend more (at least for now).
Since they each use 1 interrupt, and only 4 interrupts are selectable on
the controller, you can have a max of 4 in a system. I think that in reality
the limit is 3, since IRQ6 is for your floppies, so I have been told. Since the
card is an 8-bit interface, it won't use the higher order interrupts...
Still, I am very happy with mine. They are working just great in my
BBS...

The Chinon is probably better than the 3401, if you want to pay $300+.

I am running these off of my Soundblaster SCSI-2 (with an IDE boot device),
and everything works fine. The soundblaster has a 152x series Adaptec
chipset, so there are similarities here. Are you using EZ-SCSI? The
problem is not likely to be the card (although you might want to consider
upgrading to at least a 1542 series for real performance, with a 2842 being
really cool :) ).
Have you tried using a different boot device (coming off of a floppy, but
with your SCSI devices loaded)? Also, try to boot with the HD left off of
the chain (terminate at the card). Isolate the problem area, then report
back.

Hi, Bill. Here is the information you need. Don't thank me for this.
Joe Rinehart did the work.
Q: Does anybody know if it's true about Nightowl 10 having viruses on it?
If so...Does anybody know what the specfic files are? I heard there
were
3 or 4 files infected on it...
A: File andlocation information include:
The files in question are: SF2_UP.ZIP located in the 020a directory,
and SPORT21C.ZIP located in the 037a directory.
NOTES INCLUDE:
No special notes are offered for the SF2-UP.EXE FILE. McAffe's scan 9.19
v.108 detected it before installation.
The Sport21c.zip was of considerable interest to us. After we unarchived
the
file to our RAM drive and ran McAffe's 9.19 v.108 scan, the virus was not
detected. The initial scan report follows:
SCAN 9.19 V108 1993/11/8 18:34
Options: e:\*.* /m /chkhi /bell /report c:\scan.rpt
Scanning Volume: MS-RAMDRIVE
Directory E:\ contains 4 files.
No viruses found.
However, when we ran the install program it did copy 2 files to our
C:\DOS\DIR file (since we do not have a C:DOS directory) that was 11407
bytes
in size. This file went undetected by scan 9.19 v.108. Then we created a
bogus C:\DOS & decided to run the install again the following day in our
research. Upon running the install program the first screen had this
wording
within an ansi box:
{start of ansi box}
This file passed preliminary file integrity & virus detection checks!
Known BBS ad files have been removed to reduce transfer time & cost.
{end of ansi box}

(201) 239-1331 HST DS
Do you want to extract these file now (y/n)
We ran scan at this screen and there were no detections. However, when we
answered yes.... We ran scan again. This time it did copy a file to our
bogus C:\DOS directory and copied 1 noninfected file named sport21c.exe.
When scan checked our RAM drive, it created this report:
SCAN 9.19 V108 1993/11/8 19:01
Options: C:\*.* E:\*.* /BELL /CHKHI /DATE /M /REPORT C:\SCAN.RPT /SUB
Scanning Volume: 105 TOSHIBA
Scanning Volume: MS-RAMDRIVE
Scanning E:\INSTALL.COM
Found the Butterfly [Bfly] Virus
Scanning E:\DOCUMENT.COM
Found the Butterfly [Bfly] Virus
Scanning E:\SPORTS.COM
Found the Butterfly [Bfly] Virus
Found 3 files containing viruses.
At this point, the research involving our systems ends. We decided not to
view the destructive nature of the viruses first-hand.
We wish to express our observation that we do totally understand how these
viruses got on the cd-disc, due to their either being new or undetectable
until installation. We do not judge the publisher in this case, since we
actually had to install the butterfly on our system, since scannning did not
detect it. From what we've learned in our research the publisher takes
extensive measures by scanning with several respectable programs. In the
butterfly case, no sysop or user would have detected this virus until after
the potential destruction occurs.
Copies are being sent to McAffee for confirmation that these are indeed
viruses. Further confirmation or information will be announced.
It was suggested by Ian Singer (a Canadian dealer) that a possible echo be
created that would create a forum between publishers and dealers to assist
in
the research of problems like this & otherwise better the relationships
between the two. We are in agreement since it would be a direct exchange of
information, possibly before a false panic should be created.
The basic scan report follows:
SCAN 9.19 V108 1993/11/8 18:04
Options: E:\sf2-up.exe /BELL /CHKHI /DATE /M /REPORT C:\SCAN.RPT /SUB
Scanning Volume: MS-RAMDRIVE
Scanning E:\SF2-UP.EXE
Found the Memory Lapse [ML] Virus
Found 1 file containing a virus.
SCAN 9.19 V108 1993/11/7 01:03
Options: E:*.* /BELL /CHKHI /DATE /M /REPORT C:\SCAN.RPT /SUB
Scanning Volume: MS-RAMDRIVE
>Scanning E:.\INSTALL.COM
> Found the Butterfly [Bfly] Virus
>Scanning E:.\DOCUMENT.COM
> Found the Butterfly [Bfly] Virus
>Scanning E:.\SPORTS.COM
> Found the Butterfly [Bfly] Virus
> Found 3 files containing viruses.
We do not recommend that anyone try expermenting, unless they take
precautions like using a system that is not used in daily activities.
Anyone interested in discussing information on new developments in regard to
the Night Owl 10 virus investigation, may contact me.

I got the game. This isthe1sim game I've ever played. The two main
problems I had with the game on my 387SX-25 4MB 2X CD-ROM were: 1). The
speech during the game(not on the videos) was kinda choppy. and 2). The game
is extremely slow(it becomes frustrating to lay down objects). The Videos
run smooth, though. It is a really good game, but, unlike what I've been
told, didn't hold my interest as long as I expected.

512K Video RAM is for 640X480 at 256 colors. You may not have enough RAM on
your graphic card. I think you probably do, though. Most VGA's have AT
LEAST that much. You may need a VESA driver. There's a file called
univesa.com that you may be able to get from one of the games on this board.
I'm not sure of which one though.

You're Sound Card may not be 16-BIT. If it is, check to make sure the sound

look for a program that handles the volume for your sound card(it should have

You're probably having interference problems. I have a Mitsumi FX001D drive,
and when I plugged it into my SB Pro's CD IN line, I can only hear the music
very faintly...with lots of static in the foreground. What I ended up doing
was hooking the CD ROM Phono interface right into my stereo (which I also use
for my SB). All I have to do then is unplug the SB when I play music on the
CD.
It's a pretty hoaky setup, but it works.
Take off, hoser.

I just tried out the Under a Killing Moon Sampler. It contains 176MB!!!
The demo is unbelievable. Just imagine playing System shock with SVGA
graphics, there is full degree of movement and photorealistic graphics of all
characters and significant objects. Though you'll need quite a system to run
it to its optimum: i.e. Pentium-90 w/16MB, although the demo plays OK on my

#1 on the charts when it gets out in a month o.

Subj: Pioneer 602x help!! Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I am looking for someone out there that might be running more than on 6 disc
changer on an IN-2000 SCSI controller..
The problem I am having is I am and have been running a 600a for allmost a year
now on an IN-2000 along with 1-1.2 gig drive and a 340 meg drive. The drives
are internal and the 600a is external.
Now I got a 602X and I can huck the 602 up to the IN-2000 card by its self and
get the "Warning Disk sectors to large format the drive" and it get this same
message when I hook both drives up or just the single 602 but every thing works
perfect with just the 600a.
I have set the sector size of the 602 to 512 and still get the message.
If anyone has had this problem or might know how to fix this problem PLEASE
contact me ASAP and let me know what can be done or what to do to fix this
situation. The way I read the book is this drive should be just plug and
play behind another 6 disc changer with no problems.
Leave it to me and if anything is going to happen it will happen to me, I have
been working with the drive for the last 2 days and still get the same message.
Oh yea I forgot I am running these drives an a Lantasti 5.0ai network server
with DOS 6.20.
I believe if I could get passed the Worning message the IN-2000 gives the drive
would probably work just fine. Unless the IN-2000 card can not or will not
support running 2 6-disc changers. This card has the lates roms on it and is
only about 7 months old. If anyone has an answer for me and could send me
netmail to help me out it would be greatly appreciated. You can send netmail
to 388/20 if possible...
Thanks for all your help!

Using the map in the library, rotate the tower until a red line shows
across the map. (You rotate the tower by clicking on the tower symbol on
the map.)
Now go up the elevator to the ladder marked by the key. Climb the
ladder and read the message. Each message corresponds to a location on
the map that will take you further in the game.
You leave the Mech World (Island Fortress) by rotating the fortress,
getting the four symbols that match the pedastal by the big gear gate
where you enter. Press the button, and enter the portal again.
I won't tell you how to rotate the fortress until you give up.

PS. I am stuck in Channelwood, unable to get the door to the stairs

Also, how do we use the puzzle in the fireplace -- which one do we use?

CD-ROM Review: "The Hacker Chronicles"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
Everything you ever wanted to know about getting into a prison but
were afraid to ask.
This is one of the most just plain fun CDs I've seen in my short
career as a reviewer. You need a sense of humor to read this one. You
need a critical eye, too. Some of the information on this disc will
just _kill_ you. (or get you an expense-paid vacation at the Federal
prison of the judge's choice.)
This is a compilation of articles by and about hackers, crackers,
anarchists, phone phreaks, credit card fraud artists, wannabe (and
maybe a few real) terrorists, cable-tv thieves and/or protesters,
illicit satellite-tv decoders, and just about any other bad actor
whose purpose in life is to tweak the nose of THE SYSTEM.
There are also several articles about nosetweakers who got tweaked
themselves. (Surprise! You're BUSTED!)
This CD is like a book about Willie Sutton, the fellow who robbed
banks "because that's where the money is." or about Evel Knievel,
interesting reading, a few vicarious thrills, but don't try this at
home. As far as the phone-phreaking goes, whatever you do, don't try
this _from_ home.
There are files about homebrew explosives, how-to pieces on getting
around almost every kind of security system, issue upon issue of
"Phrack" magazine, The Syndicate Report, Ultra, The International
Rogues Guild, Electronic Frontiers Foundation, (emphatically _not_
hackers) Cult of the Dead Cow, (?) even back issues of Fantasy and
Science Fiction Magazine, and more, much more. If you're interested in
lock-picking, that's in here. If you're interested in revenge, there
are some articles about that. I didn't notice anything about basement
nuclear devices, but you never know. I've by no means exhausted every
subject on this CD.
If you've ever wanted to know how hackers, crackers,etc. think, here's
where you'll find out. The quality of the writing varies all over the
board from barely literate, (danger to self and others) to scholarly,
to where-did-this-person-get-that-vocabulary.
It's about 150 Mb of sheer wildness and mostly good-humored lunacy.
There's no little outright misinformation, too. Some of the
explosives/pyrotechnics recipes are one heck of a lot more dangerous
to the hapless experimenter than they would ever to be to a putative
victim. You _really_ want to take these things with about a bag of
salt. If you decide to try any of the tricks, do so in some out of the
way place. The middle of the Sahara Desert should be about right;
maybe Antarctica.
I suppose there are some people out there who would rather such things
could not be published at all. I must respectfully disagree. Knowledge
is just knowledge, information just information, and speech just
speech. You most assuredly _can_ shout "FIRE!" in a crowded theater;
no theater I've ever been to has issued gags or cut my vocal cords at
the door. However, there had better _be_ a fire or you'll be liable
for any consequences of your little exercise of free speech. That's as
it should be.
There's a big difference between what you can do and what you should
do, what you may know how to do and what the consequences of doing it
might be.
There's an equally big difference between enforcing consequences and
prior restraint.
The interface is right out of DOS. Type "go" at the (HD designation)
prompt. You'll get a screen with a choice of with sound/without sound.
If your sound card doesn't match the indicated configuration, select
2. Choice "1" locked up my system. No big deal, just a cold boot. If I
made that mistake in a Windows DOS Prompt window, it was only a
ctrl-alt-delete to get back to Program Manager and try again.
Screens are simple listings with short descriptors after the start-up
logo and a few warnings and instructions. From there, it's <page down>
arrow keys and <return> with a confirmation screen if you happen to
select a .ZIP file.
On the sixth screen, there is a directory path at the bottom that,
selected, takes you to a listing of all the directories.
Unfortunately, it offers no <P>rint and that would have been handy.
All the rest of the trip through the data is Page Up/Down, arrow keys
to highlight, and <return> to select, <escape> to end. There are
options to <S>earch and <P>rint in the file areas. In all, it's a very
"bare bones" interface. I'd have expected better hacking on a hackers'
disc but everything worked, just not especially fancily.
Just your everyday nice, fun,
how-to-go-to-jail-if-you-try-any-of-this, Hacker's Library.

They just don't stop, do they? Somewhere out there must be hundreds of
people looking for a quick trip to the local hoosegow.
One after another after another these hacker discs come out telling us
how to get away with murder; well, with planning one, anyway.

they don't. It would be nearly impossible to compare CDs like these.
The publishers use differing directory structures, interfaces, and
often, different sources. The Internet is always one but there are
probably at least a couple dozen ( maybe hundred!) BBS systems for
budding anarchists floating around at any given moment. So the
tendency for these CDs, like shareware CDs, to look a lot alike is a
bit deceiving.
Most hacker CDs _do_ have many of the same files, but hackers,
crackers, phone phreaks, anarchist wannabees, and pyrotechnicians tend
to be creative above the norm. (the ones who live and stay
unincarcerated beyond their first few capers, that is) There are some
really impressive brains out there doing some really strange things!
Therefore, Hacker Chronicles II (and probably 3,4,...n P-80 estimates
releasing a Hackers Chronicles CD every 1-1/2 to 2 years.)
This one takes the genre a step up with a fun interface. Rather than
only the typical directory list, file list, tab, arrow keys,
page-up/down, etc., Hacker Chronicles II gives you options. One is a
straight directory list, file list, tab, ... The other is that with
sound and a font that might give an eagle a headache. Surprisingly,
it's fun and easy to use. The option 2 interface plays music while you
browse and occasionally throws in a snotty comment or two. As I said,
really creative minds doing some really strange things.
The CD covers the usual Hacker/Cracker subjects; how to blow up your
neighbors without doing the same for yourself; Phone phreaking;
Housebreaking, alarm bypassing, lock-picking and eavesdropping;
Miscellaneous collections of Phrack Magazine, etc.; Who knows what
else? Every time I load the thing I find something more, files
designed to amaze, irritate and, possibly, nauseate.
Who knows what else? I knows what else. Hacker Chronicles II contains
a huge collection of ANSI art, directly viewable, some animated. There
are slide show presentations of this art as well as individual
viewing. Many are opening screens from underground BBSs. Others are
stand-alone art. Those taking advantage of ANSI blinking elements are
especially impressive. Some rival professional fully animated
productions. Then there are MOD files, directly playable, and GIF
files you must use an external viewer to see.
This thing goes on and on, something more than 400 Megabytes worth. If
you want to actually _try_ any of the recipes on this CD, you're on
your own. In the USA, information of any kind is legal and free
distribution is built in to our Constitution. On the other hand,
_using_ information like this is another question entirely. There you
might run afoul of a large raft of laws specifying unpleasant
consequences. You're allowed to _know_ anything. It's the _doing_
that's problematical.
Overall, it's definitely worth the time and trouble. Some Psychology
graduate student could probably write an intriguing thesis or
dissertation on the minds that write the files that comprise a CD like
this. The information for that is all there, too.

I come neither to praise nor to bury Caesar, just to talk about him.

Taking the role of the prototypical "Mr. Dumb PC-user," I tend to look
at a new (to me at least) CD with a playful, kind of
Wowsers-what-can-I-do-with-THIS-one(!), point of view. That may result
in sometimes being too easy on one CD and too hard on another.
Usually, it results in my playing with the thing for a few hours to a
few weeks and writing up some general thoughts on what features or
glitches jump out at me, whether I could figure out some good use for
it, and what new things (again, to me) it has that seem to improve the
breed.
Comments and criticisms about this and any of my reviews are welcome.
I want to be fair and I'll be the first to admit I don't know

BS> To quote Shirley Mitchel "Which files on Nite Owl #10 are infected?"
Hi Bill,
If memory serves, one of the files that was infected, was SF2???.zip. There
were only 3 files that were infected, as I recall. The SF2 I mentioned, was
an update to Street Fighter 2. I don't remember the other 2 files.
There was a subsequent release of the CD, that was 10.1.
Mike Shannon might remember the other 2 files though.

Since these two infected files you mentioned are easily detected

only.

Do you actually read my postings or do your fingers just
automatically type? (big frown) The archive is infected. Only
SDSCAN 28.02 from Novell DOS v7.0 directly detects the infected
files in this archive. You must unpack the PKLITEd files before
F-Prot v2.13, Integrity Master v2.11a (registered) and TBAV v6.22
will also detect the infected files.
A copy of this archive have been sent to the makers of F-Prot.
Their utility is supposed to look inside of compressed
executables (PKLITE, DIET, LZE) to detect viruses. In this case,
it doesn't work.
When they update their utility to directly detect this virus (the
"butterfly") without needing to unpack the PKLITEd files, I'll
let you know the name of the archive.
The archive is some obscure .ZIP. I would like to keep it that
way -- why would I want to show a bunch of wannabe virus
programmers how beat the system easily? If the makers of F-Prot
updates their utility first, then general knowledge of the PKLITE
technique becomes ineffective.

Trane, you are just a name in a message post. How do I know what
*your* intentions are? The virus name is "butterfly". AS for
the name of the archive, enough said.
As I said, please connect to the Virus Echo, there are other
posters who are more comfortable discussing this archive. So,
please don't bother to beat up on me anymore.
Disseminating knowledge for the sake of knowledge is
irresponsible.

Sure, no problem.... when you start the game, and you see the
spinning LucasArts sign, move your joystick to the "up" position,
and press the fire button, then to the bottom and fire, to the
left and fire, and to the right and fire.
To get to a level, press 1-9 for their respective levels, and A-E
for levels 10 and above (a=10, b=11 etc.) To finish a level, press
the ESC key, and to get rid of all your damage, keep pressing the
'+' key on the numeric keypad.

That means that the last drive letter that DOS can use is drive Z,
what I'm saying is if you have LASTDRIVE=Q you can use drive letters
A-Q for stuff, Floppy, Hard Drives, CD-ROMS etc. If you want to save
a little bit of RAM, reduce this, (I think DOS needs somthing like
6K for each addnl. drive) so if you have A,B,C, and D, make
LASTDRIVE=E or F.

Generally, ordinary 2x CD ROM Drive can read PCD (Kodak Photo CD)
format, you may put your photos (by using negative or positive-slide)
filems in to a CD, usually one CD can contain about 100 pictures,
at 16.7 Million Colors. Price to make here in Thailand is about
2,000 Bht (25 Bht = 1USD).
You don't need to make all 100 photos in one time, *BUT

When I do a dir on a disk in my B drive it gives me a listing from my A

I did not touch either drive or the IO controller during the

Do I have to change some jumper on the motherboard or IO controller or

You need a fast HDD true. We use a fujitsu 1080 meg (I think thats how you
spell it) Im not sure the hard drive can be too fast basically, what the deal
is, is if the HDD dosent keep the buffer full enough the CD-Rom Recorder croaks
on the CD. The reason we got the HDD we did is because it only recalibrates
when data is not being sent. If the HDD recalibrates during a burn, say bye
bye to the CD. If you need the HDD we might be interested in selling it
also...later!

GP>NZ>I was just wondering (as I stare at a smoldering Power Supply) how many
GP>NZ>CD Drives can you put on a typical 200-250W power supply. Figure a 486
...
GP>Why just guess? The documentation that comes with most CD-ROM drives

GP>those add up to significantly less than your power supply provides
...
Unfortunately, that is the problem. Of all the CD-ROM manuals I have, only
2 list the wattage, and the values are so different that I didn't feel I
could just take the average and multiply it by the number of drives.
To further complicate it, only one of my hard disks rates power usage, and
the motherbaord and floppy follow suit. Plus, most CD's (and possibly all
types od drives) have separate startup, in-use, and at rest ratings. I feel
it was the combination of startup values that was most crucial.
So I say again, anyone else have a good guess as to how many?

Being in Canada, you'll probably want something kind of tame, so I would
suggest that most of the softcore titles we carry would be good. Some
that I recommend are Digital Dreams 1 and 2, Private Line, Pixels of
Passion 1 and 2, and Amateur Models 1 and 2. I think any of these would
fit your needs, and they all have file listings for BBS use.
Will email you our current price list.

I have the same problem on the 7th geust. In the intro or when ever there is a
section with acting in it. I can't figure it out either. I own a sb16 and a
NEC tripple speed. The crackling really pisses me off but i put up with it. I
think it might have somthing to do with the 7th guest, because when I set it
up there is no sb16 choice on the list of sound cards. The computer
autimatically chooses SBII. anyone out there have any sugestions?

You can do this with a small sharp object and swap the pins in pairs.

The workaround is to use a door program - specifically EZROM. It has built-in
support for the Pioneer. I have a total of 12 disks controlled by this gem on
a multi-node BBS. There is no back and forth switching when 2 users access the
same CD or drive - EZROM creates a semaphore that echos back in the form of a
"Drive is busy - please hold" message. I realize that my drives are twice the
speed of yours, but you will surely be able to cut down that 5 minute total
copying time by using this program. If you do decide it's worth a looksee, the
latest version can be found as:
EZROM13H.??? - about 160k. It is always available on the author's BBS (pretty
sure with magic EZROM via FREQ) at:

Hi! I am a technician for PC Warehouse here in Jackson, MS. We've had
a couple of problems like this with cd's going into systems with the
486-DLC chips. The only way to get them working right half the time, is
to disable internal caching through CMOS (eek!) and bump the clock speed
to...um, I think it's 4.7 Mhz....can't remember for sure.
Hope this helps and sorry to butt in!

I'm a dealer and I've had 11th hour on order since February 1994. What really
gets me is that I tend to get it from both sides. I have people interested in
11th hour, so I order. Then the product doesn't show. Then the release date
slips. Then people want to know where it is. Then I call to find out. Then
I tell the people. Then they hear from somewhere else that it's not comming
when I said. Then I call again. Then they tell me they don't know when it's
comming out. Then they tell the someone that it's 2 month's away. Then the
whole thing starts all over again.
And if all this wasn't bad enough, then rumors start flying. "It won't run
on a double speed drive." "It requires 8MB RAM." "It's going to be on 2, no
wait 3, no wait 4+, no wait 1 disc." "It's not going to contain all the
material as the 3DO version." "It requires a Reel Magic card." "It requires
the as yet un-official MPC-3 spec." Etc, etc, etc.

Subj: Mitsumi CD-ROM Readers Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I've got two of the Mitsumi single-speed CD-ROM readers. I'm not sure
of the model number, but they use the device driver MTMCDE.SYS.
These are both installed in the same computer (my BBS machine). I
haven't had any problems with the co-existence of the drives at all.
But, now that I've changed motherboards, I'm out of expansion slots.
Neat, huh? <g>
So...is there any way to daisy chain these drives? Or, how about a
single controller card for both drives? Or, anything else that would
allow me to get back a slot?
Thanks in advance for any help I can get!

CD-ROM Review: InfoMagic "Usenet"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
Wheee-Whew! I didn't know they grew 'em that big!
InfoMagic produces CD-ROMs for the UNIX (TM) and LINUX (TM) freaks
among us and for most everyone else. I don't know where these folks
get their energy but I want a share.
626,547,450 bytes (according to dir/s, anyway. That's huge in
anybody's book. It includes a large collection of FAQ (Frequently
Asked Questions) files from the UseNet News, masses of scripts and
source files from those news groups that cater to programmers and/or
system administrators, game sources, and on and on and on. All the
files I looked at viewed easily using DOS' "edit" program or "type
<filename> | more."
This would be the disc for a BBS operator wanting to decide which
newsgroups to subscribe or for the UNIX system administrator looking
for handy items to compile and stash in the usr/bin directory or for
the PC user looking for a lot of reading material.
I won't even try to tell you I looked at everything. (Hey, I have a
life! (I know I do, it's around here somewhere, I think. Isn't it?))
What to do with all that information is left as an exercise for the
user. Compiling and running any of the scripts, etc.? Have a ball,
friend! I didn't even try.
This isn't any pansy, point and click, pushover. It runs straight out
of DOS. You treat it like any other drive. You'll get _real_ familiar
with the "cd\" command. The directory structure, though, is well
laid-out and not at all difficult to use. Things are in logical
groupings and you can find what you want with a little effort. There's
(see number above) bytes here, y'know? There's an index to more or
less help you find your way around the sources files but you are the
search program.
There's a directory of tools for handling UNIX-style files in DOS
called, appropriately enough, DOSTOOLS that allows you to untar,
unshar, UUdecode, and convert files from UNIX format to DOS format for
printing, etc. or just for extracting the compressed ones. I didn't
find any compressed files on this disc, but there might be some. So
it's nice to have the tools at hand.
What do I think of it? Well, there's a lot here, a _big_ lot! It's a
data junkie's dream for 40 bucks, list. Just for fun; take a look at
\sources\misc\volume2\c_puns. It reads fine with DOS' edit program and
it's good for a chuckle or two.
I'm going to try to hang on to this disc for a few weeks and really
delve into it. This CD is so big there's got to be a ton more
interesting stuff hiding among the branches of the directory tree. Who
knows what _ lurks_ in the heart of InfoMagic? I'm willing to bet The
Shadow works for 'em.

CD-ROM Review
Aris Entertainment's Jets & Props
by John P. Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
If you like coffee table books, you'll love this CD Set. If you like
such images in readily usable formats, you'll like it even more.
All around, Jets & Props is a mini-air show for the desktop, an
impressive item for airplane fanciers of any age from the budding
aeronautical engineer to the average Joe who occasionally looks up and
wonders what that plane might look like close up.
Jets & Props is a 2-disc collection of 200 airplane photos that, while
it may not knock your socks off, will let you know what the most
common modern (and some not-so-modern) aircraft look like. Jet
aircraft are on one disc, propeller-driven on the other.
The images are good quality, viewable in either 320 X 240 small format
(about 2" X 2" on a 14" monitor) or large format 640 X 480. (about 6"
X 6") There's detail enough for the aficionado and broad overview
enough for the younger set. The kids will probably love the 25
PACO-format movies on each disc.
Using the programs is straight GUI in Windows, point and click. The
command bar is mostly intuitive and includes random access by
thumbnail sketches or search string. while the thumbnails are small,
after just one or two run-throughs, they are clear enough to allow you
to pick out a desired image pretty easily. Switching images in the
large-size display does require clicking the next image and enlarge
buttons in sequence, but it soon becomes second nature.
I would like it better if the "Notes of Interest" were a little more
detailed. The short descriptions provided with each image are barely
adequate to whet the information junkie's appetite. And, after all,
isn't information what the typical CD buyer is after? That's not to
say that there isn't a lot of data on the discs (Pictures and animated
imagery just love memory.) but more textual information would add just
a touch of education to the typical youngster (or even middle-aged
youngster's) fascination with airplanes.
Getting started, I found this set remarkably easy to install and use
in my Windows (tm) environment. If I, who just installed a CD-ROM
drive virtually yesterday, can handle it in 5 minutes, it's dummy
proof! Pop in the disc, log in to your CD-ROM drive, and run SETUP.
Answer a few questions to the effect of, "Where do you want to put the
files?" and let it do its thing. The only change I made to Aris'
preplanned installation was to put the "ARIS" directory under my
"Windows" directory. Drag the icons to a convenient location on your
desktop and you're ready to go. The instructions for MAC and DOS
operation seem equally simple.
Aris also takes care of the chance you might want to do more than just
view the images. They supply all 100 files per disc in 8-bit 320 X 240
and 640 X 480 BMP and PCX formats, 24-bit TIFF for use in high-res
paint programs, and their audio in both WAV and VOC formats. They also
extend on-the-box permission to reproduce up to 20% of the images
sounds or videos royalty-free in print or digital publications so long
as the artists and Aris Entertainment's copyright are duly credited.

Please excuse me for dropping in. I hope you will "not" regard the
advice of this other post. I hope you will "drop" in and post your
comments regarding any opinion or opinions you may have about any ads
you read.
I for one am a great lurker of this echo and I buy all of my cdrom
disc's through the mail sight unseen. I live in a very small
community and there aren't any computer stores, etc..
I read all of the ad's in this echo. I want to know as much about a
advertised disc as I can.
I have been mislead afew times by some of the ads which I have read.
It is your right (and anyone elses) to comment about anything you
want, matter of fact there may be a fine line of morality here.
It might just be your "duty" to do so.
If you know something about a product which might be of service and
help to someone else and you don't mention it it could be considered
wrong morally. I guess that depends on how one feels about it.
I am on a low allowance and it takes me almost a month to save up for
a cdrom purchase and when I do, I would like to receive what I am lead
into believing what I read from an add.
I have some problem disc's which I am in the middle of settling
through the mail right now. Problems which could have been avoided if
I had had someone like you to warn me about.
I hope the remarks you have received as this kind of post you are
writing too does NOT allow you to reconsider posting any other warning
posts.
I for one certainly appreciate being able to read your remarks.
It sounds to me as though some might want to censor you.. Don't allow
them to do so...

Peter:
I have the APL #1 and 2. There are all types of XXX gifs, stories, games
and movies on this disk. The only problem is that the filenames are numbers
and don't describe the gif.
I also have the World's Best Breasts which is a bit misleading. It does
have lots of GIFs of varied sizes of breasts but there is more. They have
special sections: asian, black, lesbian, swimsuits (tame stuff). These may
or may not have "breast shots" in them.
The bottom line is that I recommend WBB. The other two are fair. You can
get them from StarCom for $18 a piece. Hope this helps!

You have probably set your VGA for something like 16 colors. Go to where you
have your windows set up stuff and see if you don't have an icon for your
video board. Start it up and you should see different display options.
If you don't find that icon, it means you never installed any video driver
for you board. Go back and read your installation manual for your video
board.

I would say that QEMM is not compatible with some element of the CD-Rom.
First try not loading QEMM and see what happens. Also insure that the
CD-Rom driver the SLCD.SYS (or WHAT Your File may be)is compatible with
QEMM. Also Check The CD-Rom I/O Address DMA and IRQ (If using these).
The CD-Rom I/O may be overlapping the BIOS I/O Because QEMM has taken
over the System Bios and Says, "No problem, when actually big Problem"

Hey David, sounds interesting. I would take one step at a time slowly.
eliminate what is absolutely not the problem before trying new ideas.
1) Leave the CD-Controller in, just put REM in the config.sys line
that loads the CD-Rom driver and REM in the autoexec.bat for MSCDEX
2) Reboot and see if the floppies are still reversed (check bios too)
see if it reports NO B: Drive.
3) If your BIOS detects floppies and they are reversed when you access
them, either reverse BIOS identities or Floppy Cable Connections.
4) Get the Floppies working before removing the REM Lines in STEP 1
5) floppies work, now reboot with the cd-rom drivers and see if problem
still exists. IF so then your CD-Rom I/O address is conflicting with
the I/O address the computer uses to access the Floppy Drives.
6) Ensure the CD-Rom controller I/O address is un-used by any other
computer component, likewise DMA and IRQ (if supporting this access
method)
GOOD LUCK, Only work on one aspect and resolve that job before trying
another approach, keep track of what you have tried. Your CD-Rom
interface type/style was not mentioned, I assumed a lot - Oh well.

I had A Pro Audio Spectrum 16 and now have a Pro Audio Studio, both of
these Sound Cards have a SCSI interface built on them for CD-Rom
interfaces. I do not recall the Pro Audio Basic as having support for
SCSI or NON-SCSI interfacing, there is no connectors built any where

Name: National Lampoon's Chess Maniac Five Billion -- and 1
Rating: *** 1/2 (Three Guffaws and a Chuckle)
Publisher: Spectrum Holobyte
System Requirements:
Minimum--386-25, 2Mb RAM, (1Mb EMS) MS-DOS 5.0 or higher, VGA,
MPC-compliant CD-ROM drive and sound card, Mouse highly recommended.
1.14 Mb HD Space
Optimum--486, 4Mb RAM (2Mb EMS) DOS 5.0 or higher, VGA MPC-compliant
CD-ROM drive and sound card, mouse, 27 Mb HD space
National Lampoon's manic staff has a way of painting mustachios on
idols and tipping sacred cows but their reputation for irreverent
dementia has taken some lumps the last few years. Well, They're
baaaaaack...rude, crude, and lewd! Chess addicts will howl; whether
with laughter or rage is another question. Depends on how stuffy the
player or stuffed the shirt, most likely.
What the Lampoon loons have done to chess is a crime, but a Not Guilty
by Reason of Insanity plea is entirely apropos. This should happen to
every self-proclaimed "serious" classic pastime. (and to no few of
their aficionados) They've taken a serious game and made it
into--well--a game; taken the pieces and moves and applied slapstick.
And no cautious touches or well-considered brush strokes, either: they
put it on with a long-napped roller and a spray gun! If there's a
politically correct piece on this board it's only cannon fodder for
the designers' consuming lust for ego-deflation.
Anyone who plays chess, however casually, will recognize the war
college behind the game. But here, here it's another facet of the
college experience, the beer-bust cum bull session approach. Chess
players often threaten to "kick each other's behinds." On this board
things get kicked, all right, but it's not always the gluteus that
takes the hit.
Installation is not quite simple but it takes only a few moments.
There are several configuration steps and choice of partial or full
installation. The difference is in drive space required (1.14 Mb for
partial, 27 Mb for full) and speed of play. Chess Maniac 5 billion
(and 1) will run directly from the CD-ROM in the partial installed
version. The inherent slower performance of CD-ROM drives affects
playing speed, but little. They include a card with step-by-step
instructions and pointers to a batch of demo games.
The basic chess engine is Intelart's and there is a straight version
for the faint-hearted or incurably morose. It's the "bawdy" version
where the fun lies, though. Here, the pieces are slightly different
from the classic chessmen and odd things happen when you move pieces.
When a black pawn takes a white pawn, she (yes, she) makes sure he
gets some kicks out of the game. It's where he gets the kicks that
grabs the attention. Other moves and captures are equally, if not
more, intriguing.
Startup is attention-grabbing, to say the least. Heart patients or
those with an aversion to apparent system damage, take note! The first
time, you will get quite a start. After the production number, the
Chess Maniac presents several choice screens that may or may not
affect play and what you see on the screen. One makes reading the
manual worth the effort.
The pieces on black and white sides are Mediaeval and Persian,
respectively, but how that Gypsy dancer became the black queen is a
puzzlement. Black's bishops are sorcerers, white's are genii and the
silliness progresses from there. It's animated chess with a warped
sense of humor.
The warpage persists throughout play. Your esteemed opponent throws
distractions like confetti and cheats unabashedly. Comments, from
snide to outright crude, spice the game as various tries at cheating
interrupt any semblance of concentration. Stop attempts at stealing
pieces with a fast keystroke or they're gone forever and when the
shark cruises the board someone's chessman is going to disappear
without that keystroke. Again, quickness counts. The distractions fly
furiously and it takes no little concentration to play and dodge
them. The Chess Maniac's spoken commentary adds its own few points to
your blood pressure. He sounds like HAL, the 2001: A Space Odyssey
computer, but with an even snootier attitude.
Numerous menu choices permit configuring the game for screen
attributes, move clocks, difficulty level, and how persistently the
Chess Maniac cheats. Turning Cheat Mode off doesn't necessarily stop
him completely.
This is real chess in bawdy mode. Make no mistake about that. The
voice will admonish you for any illegal move and send your piece back.
You capture and lose pieces, the program recognizes en passant and
castling and the manual is a good basic explanation of the game. Of
course, National Lampoon couldn't leave well enough alone so the
explanations always have a few additions.
The manual is an entertaining parody of a chess magazine. Besides
legitimate, but not too legitimate, explanations and instructions,
There are articles in The Lampoon's inimitable style, advertisements
for products best sold in dingy back alleys by odd men with
many-pocketed coats, and two real pages of Warranty and Software
License legalese. Everything else is subject to insertions, additions,
and rampant nuttiness. There's an essential clue in here for getting
past the opening questions in the startup sequence. Hint: the
correct answer is not "RTFM" but finding it requires RTFM.
Graphics quality isn't Chess Maniac's strongest point. It seems they
could be better but a big game program can use up system resources,
leaving less for graphic quality that might severely handicap the more
important game operation. By some reports, the creators of Doom had
some very sophisticated graphic effects in one of the earlier versions
but had to reprogram them because of memory usage problems. So this
might be a similar situation. For a game to run on many systems with
widely varying capabilitie> s, some sacrifices might be unavoidable.
Overall, the game is tremendous fun. Its creators have taken silliness
to a high art. It might be a good idea to have your Psychologist's
home phone number handy.
Capsule: National Lampoon's sacred cow-tipping as applied to Chess. An
animated chess with terminal mind warpage potential. Not for the
incorrigibly strait-laced but may lace players into a strait jacket.

John P. Husvar (jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu) Art Historian at-Large,
Kent State University (Yes, THAT Kent State!)
I come neither to praise nor to bury Caesar, just to talk about him.
(Sorry, Will!)
Taking the role of the prototypical "Mr. Dumb PC-user," I tend to look
at a new (to me at least) CD with a playful, kind of
Wowsers-what-can-I-do-with-THIS-one(!), point of view. That may result
in sometimes being too easy on one CD and too hard on another.
Usually, it results in my playing with the thing for a few hours to a
few weeks and writing up some general thoughts on what features or
glitches jump out at me, whether I could figure out some good use for
it, and what new things (again, to me) it has that seem to improve the
breed.
Comments and criticisms about this and any of my reviews are welcome.
I want to be fair and I'll be the first to admit I don't know
everything about anything. I'm certainly not so expert that I couldn't
possibly miss something. So fire away. I'll reply, assuming I have
time and I'm not in a snit. (See below)
I even occasionally enjoy warming my hands at an intelligent flame.

Those looking through the latest Walnut Creek Catalog (which is pretty
spiffy looking, by the way, especially when compared to past issues)
may have noticed the Libris Brittania CD-ROM (correct spelling). As
it costs more than double the price of other popular discs such as
SIMTEL20, Garbo and CICA, you may have wondered: "What's the Big
Deal?" Libris Brittania, according to the Walnut Creek catalog is:
"from the best British shareware library, over 600 megabytes of superb
public domain and shareware for the IBM-PC." Hmmmm.... Let's see if
LB lives up to the hype.
After giving it a spin, I was impressed with the selection and
diversity of the software on the disc. In fact, I found it to be
quite similar to the software libraries that you can buy at a computer
show or swap meet for $3-5 a disc. Unlike SIMTEL, the disc contains
mostly shareware with very little in the way of escoterica or exotica.
The disc is divided into directories by category. The only down side
is that the zip files are identified by a number (presumably
corresponding to a disk number). Fortunately, each directory has a
text file containing a description of its contents. Also, the disc
comes with a well organized book which describes each file in detail.
Categories include: Business Software, Communications, Database
Systems, Desktop Publishing, Education, Electronics, Games, Graphics,
Hobbies/Activities, Programming, Religion, its contents. Also, the
disc comes with a well organized book which describes each file in
detail. Categories include: Business Software, Communications,
Database Systems, Desktop Publishing, Education, Electronics, Games,
Graphics, Hobbies/Activities, Programming, Religion, Scientific,
Utilities, Windows Support, Word Processing/Editing and much more.
Also, unlike many shareware CDs, the latest versions of each program
seem to be included.
Even though the disc may seem a bit pricey (at least by Walnut Creek
standards), it is a bargain considering that its is the equivalent of
at least 3500 5.25" double-density floppies. If purchased at computer
show prices, that stack of floppies would cost you over $10,000. So,
to get access to all those programs (and we are talking about
*access*, since most of the discs are shareware and require that a
registration fee be paid), you would have to lay out a bunch of cash
and find a convenient place to store 3500 floppies!

Yes. I play it with a Gravis PC Gamepad. I have tried all of the
other ways, Keyboard and a mouse. Mouse and keyboard combination.
I, like you, have found the Gamepad to be the best way to play it.
I guess some folks just get used to their way and prefer it.
As I play for myself.... I just use the pad...
And just let the others do as they like. :-):-)

Hi All,
I just wanted to let you know that the new Toshiba 4X Cd-Rom is available.
I just replaced my Toshiba 2X, with this drive. I must say, that it's the
fastest CD drive I've used. Using MPC Wizard, the throughput was 690 cps.
It definitely smooths out full motion video.
The price was also quite competitive. ($409.00)
FWIW,
Rick

Hi Chris,
I thought I'd let you know that the Toshiba 3501B internal 4X drive is on
the market. It is quite fast. I tested the throughput, using MPC Wizard, and
the throughput was 690 cps. I upgraded from the Toshiba 3401E external 2X.
I'm selling the 3401E for $250.00 if you're interested. It comes in the
original Toshiba case, with the remainder of the factory warranty, 6 months
I think.
By the way, The price of the 4X, here in the SF Bay area, was $409.00, for
the internal. Throughput on this drive is 335 cps.
If interested, send E Mail to Rdunlap@pcgfx.com, leave a message in this
echo, or you can call (510) 769-1701.
Later,
Rick

You can't expect wonders when that's all the information you supply ...
What's the software?
When the error occured?
etc .., etc ..
BTW when you use the software provided by the CD-ROM player, it should
operate properly (at least my software contains a driver and MS-software
(mscdex.exe); and it works.. ).

BS>To quote Shirley Mitchel "Which files on Nite Owl #10 are infected?" I
Welcome from Auckland, New Zealand.
The two infected files on Night Owl 10 to the best of my knowledge are -
SF2_UP.ZIP (020a directory) contains the Memory Lapse Virus
SPORT21C.ZIP (037a directory) contains the Butterfly Virus
There were some discussions, and slight possibility that VSUMX308.ZIP and
FUTURE1.EXE were infected, but I think these were false alarms.
Hope this is of help to you. There were lots and lots of messages
pertaining to this when it happened. At least one of the above archives has
the virus within a PKlited file, and you have to self extract the archive
after unzipping the above file, so it may not be found by your virus
scanner until all the files are de-archived.
Regards,
Dave.

Hi there Glenn...
Yep, difficult this game sure is!!! Down here in South Africa it is,
however quite a new game so it is played a lot. I myself have not made
it through the game yet but I have completed a few of the stages.
Unfortunately you did not mention where you are stuck and on what level
you are playing. I will include all the passcodes I have for you at
this stage, these are unfortunately the easy level passcodes as I am
attempting to play the game on easy level first. It still is very hard
to play (as you probably know)
The passcodes are:
Falcon
Anoat
Yuzzem
Brigia
Greedo
Hope that helps you some. Don't go entering the passcodes just to get
through the game though :-]] Why play in the first place then?? <grin>

Just use the one that ends in the "S" MTMCDAS.SYS in the Config, that will
use the software IRQ. I got 2 on my machine and have set up 6 on one machine.
The Hardware IRQ uses MEMCDAE.SYS for your info.
Good Luck.!

Since the CD-ROM drive is SCSI, you will need a sound card with

The 8 bit Future Domain SCSI cards work & their CD-rom driver is
FREE. You also need a DB-25M to Centronics 50 SCSI cable.

IDE is NOT SCSI !! IDE is usually 40 pin vs. SCSI is 50 pin !!

Sure thing. My Xanth demo came on with the last issue of CD-ROM Today,
a great combo monthly print mag and CD. The mag covers the usual
stuff, as well as info on programs / demos included on the disc.
The disc is a split MAC/PC, so you're getting about 325meg worth
of stuff to look at and play with each month. A very good deal.
The mag/disc is about $7 newsstand; a one year subscription was
$49.00, I think, but it has probably drop
