Well, I'd avoid anything manufactured by Western Digital... horrible quality
control. (I had a terrible return rate on the WD Hard Drives).
The IDE's seem fairly quick though, I have a Sony CDU-55E (true IDE, "ATAPI"
standard). It's a 250ms/300K+ drive that I picked up at Price Club for $129
with cables and a IDE controller (that can be used as a second controller if
you have two hard drives already). The ATAPI drives are supported by OS/2, in
fact after I installed the Sony drive, I installed OS/2 Warp from CD, and it
popped right up, didn't have to edit a thing, OS/2's install program detected
it as a Sony 55E, and finished installing OS/2 properly... truely effortless.
CD-ROMs dont' really output enought to really notice any difference between
IDE and SCSI, and that's the reason I didn't choose a SCSI (because I saw no
real difference other than price, even though I have an Adaptec 1522 SCSI
adapter in my system).

I wish that I'd known about this last week. I paid $299 for it. Next time, I'll

Buy the way, do you sell DX2-66 processors? If so, please reply with your BEST

tomorrow)
i suggest giving him a call. it's the easiest/fastest way to get ahold
of him.

I think that even though it says that it's IDE, it connects to your
sound card(if you have one). If you don't have a sound card, then
you need to buy one or get an interface card.
My suggestion: If you don't have a sound card, then you should get
one or else you won't get the full quality of the cd-rom.

Hi Arnie, Well I tried, you may have seen it, I posted it in several
message areas. I have got no reply from Mr Yung, I have seen him on the
board and I think 6 days is long enough to now consider he is ignoring me.
Oh well, at least I know I tried. I'll tell ya, it's hard to Apologize
first when you feel your the one that got screwed. I even offered to cover
the cost of re-shipping the new drive to me, what more can I do ?

RL> cramping from all the typing. The model of the drive, he advertised it as

============================================= VectorQuote 1.o =============
"Brand name" doesn't matter in this case because all the 562's and 563's
are manufactured by Matsushita in Japan, and then "branded" according to
which U.S. company will ultimately distribute them, whether it's Panasonic,
Reveal, or whomever. A 562b is a 562b, regardless of the stamp on the
front.

Finn,
I don't know if you carry the CDROM_SALE echo, but Mr. Ortman's
reputation there is less than zero at present. I'm not trying to hurt
a competitor here, but you should be made aware that messages similar to
yours have been quite common recently, from other customers of Mr.
Ortman. I seriously doubt whether he actually has any stock at all, and
the fact that he is apparently only accessible through his BBS, with no
voice line, seems suspicious in the extreme.
Just a word of caution to you and any other readers who might be
considering dealing with this individual. His track record speaks for
itself.

I'm tired of getting killed! Does anyone know where to hide in the R&D room to
avoid the probe? The hint book says between the desk and the wall, hunched down
as low as possible. But, I still get zapped. Any help will be appreciated.

Your 2nd controller should have an address that selects it as a secondary one.
Thus your mtrbd. is one while the new controller will the other. If you need

Hey, thanks a lot, Ji. This is one of the most helpful posts I've had. I
guess my next step is to play catchup on learning about CDROM drives and
multimedia etc. I hate to go buy a book because that stuff is usually
about obsolete by the time it gets in print. Any recommendations as to
what might be current that can catch me up on this information? Thanks
again. I really appreciate your taking the time to respond.

First I'd Put " DeviceHigh= " On each Line. This Will Load the Drivers
High. then Id Put " Dos=high,umb After the Emm386.exe Line.
This Will Probably Make you " , Umb " Work. I'm Not Sure Why Your Using
RamBoost.sys or RamDrive.Sys Unless A Specific Program Uses these Driver
also reduce Your " Stacks " To Stacks=0,0. Is There Any Reason Why Your
Dos Environment Varibale On Your " Shell= " Is So High ? Try /E:512
I'm not Sure Why You'd Be Using " CmosClock.sys " Either

MP> I got a question about Under A Killing Moon..on the back of the box
MP> it says you need 18mb of RAM! Who has 18MB of RAM! is this true?
Well, I guess it depends on what ya want out of the game...i have 4 megs
of RAM and it works fine, but when i upgrade to 8megs, it'll look better...
mostly, the more the RAM ya have, the better the graphics get - they take up
a LOT of memory!!

YL> So just switch them around in only one of the end, it means or do it

Because I encountered problems with KQ7 using an SB16 I did some
research using MPC Wizard 2.0 and made some discoveries which were
rather surprising. Here is the order of importance for best
performance:-
1 The internal CPU cache - Make sure it is enabled
2 The external motherboard cache - Make sure it is enabled
3 A software cache helps
4 Turn 32 bit disk access off
The first two are logical but I run PCCACHE because I hate SMARTDRIVE
and I can only surmise the slight increase is due to the data that MPC
wizard keeps internally. The one which really surprised me was four. I
have a Trident 8900C and on the MPC 2 test (300KBS) I got 901/959 with
32 bit enabled and 934/959 with it disabled. I assume with fast VLB
video cards this does not matter but for people with slow ISA cards
turning off 32 bit access temporarily should see an improvement in video
smoothness.

Subj: We Stock What We Sell! Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
At Starvector Software, we have made it our policy since 1987 to only
advertise titles which we actually have IN STOCK. Much of this philosophy
grew out of my personal frustration as a consumer, with firms that would
advertise thousands of items, only to have a fraction of them "in stock"
when I would place my order. There are many CD-ROM distributors
advertising "THOUSANDS of CD's", when in fact they only keep a small
percentage of that quantity on hand. A common practice is to accept your
order, and THEN place THEIR order for the CD's YOU just ordered....often
times from a distributor who doesn't have them in stock either! This
creates delays and frustration for you, and is the primary reason we have
always elected to "stock what we sell". Like all businesses, items will
occasionally sell out, but our average in-stock rate is currently around
97%, and we're always looking for ways to improve that figure. What does
it boil down to? You get your product when expected, and hopefully we
get a satisfied customer! Call us...650+ CD's READY TO SHIP TODAY at
great prices!
Happy CD'ing,

Thanks for the information, I guess that I don't have good ears
for pitch. I hate asking this, but if you don't mind can you explain to
me exactly what you mean by the "Selectors must be in the order noted
in the drawing" In the drawing the numbers appear 5,1,4,2,3, do you mean
that the levers must be arranged in this order, or are they arranged
1,2,3,4,5...I have tried both ways to no avail....Thanks

I have approximately the same system you do ... a 386dx40 with a SB16 MCD and
have no problems ... you need to change your com3 from IRQ5 .. because of the
high DMA conflict ... that's more than likely your problem ... the high and low
DMA's are not optional .. they are essential to the card ... the soundcard must
be left at ALL default settings for the BEST performance ... try the com3 at
like irq11 or something ... maybe irq10 ... dunno about that ...
Hope this helps ...

Most Cd drives sold today can handle the small CD's. Well, maybe it's
only the tray loading drives, but they have smaller grove in the middle
for the smaller Cd's. I think some lap top computers use the small CD
drives.

OK, I think it might cost you less if you just replace the mother board
(486DX2/66 is about $350 on the market), a ATI Xpression 64 with 2meg of RAM
cost about $220, with those components replaced, the system will be able to
handle MPEGS (you need about 8meg of RAM also, which you may transfer from the
old system).

Just a little bitching to anyone who's interested. Nobody out there should buy
a CD game produced by SSI (Strategic Simulations inc.) I had originally bought
Darksun: Shattered Lands on CD by SSI, it's a great game, but has quite a few
glitches from the manufacturer. Also, you cannot play off the CD, it's just a
very large install disk. Recently, I was dumb enough to buy the sequel,
Darksun: Wake of the Ravager. This time you can play the game off the CD, but
it has the very same, identical soundtrack from the first edition (talk about
cheap!) Also, there is a major install glitch that pops up when using a
Mitsumi CD ROM. Finally, the game is CONSTANTLY freezing up, gliching, and
generally screwing up on me. Well, maybe my lesson has been learned; I shall
NEVER again buy a product from SSI (and have sent them a couple of letters
saying just that...(To which I've recieved a copy of SSI's 14 day exchange
policy.) When was the last time you've had any mail arrive from California
withing 14 days? What a total mickey mouse operation!

Curiously, what CPU and CHIP Set are you using ? DOS=high,umb should

used for ? Also important is the type (make/brand) of Video Card you
have in the system.
At any rate You should be able to include any region of your Video Card
which well not be used by the Computer for displaying purposes. I do not
use MONO, CGA, so the range from C800-EFFF can be included in the

DEVICE = C:\dos\emm386.exe NOEMS X=A000-C7FF I=C800-EFFF
My SVGA mode is needed for Windows, other wise I could used some the
A000-C7FF area too.
Also most of the Device Drivers are loaded HIGH, with DEVICEHIGH and/or
LOADHIGH. Have you Tried this or have you had no success with it ?
I am so surprised that DOS=HIGH,UMB well not work on your system

No, it's not true. Case in point, the current CD technology for music.
They have had for quite a while now technology that reduces the size of
the CD itself. Also, there are digital players that record CD music, and
on many different formats. Every manufacturer of these has `hoped' that
thier technology would take off and they might become rich. So far the
Americans, as well as Europeans and Japanese, have neglected to buy. Think
about what a nice feature it is to be able to record your own CDs, or DAT
(Digital Audio Tape), or whatever. Now you can customize your own CDs or
tapes, to have exactly what you want on them, any order you want the music
in. Incredibly powerful, huh? Well, as of right now these technologies
might as well be dead because they haven't much caught on. Translation:
Nobody buys, no revolution. It seems that people are quite happy with
thier current CD collections, current CD players, and there aren't very
many willing to invest in this newer technology. So you won't see it
going by the wayside any time soon.
I imagine the fellow you're referring to is talking about newer technology
coming up. In that, he is probably correct. But as to the current CDROM
technology falling off the edge of the earth, you can bet it won't, at
least not for a while yet. The market drives these decisions. If they
can't sell it, it doesn't matter how good of an idea it is. And people
aren't that willing to change. Same case can be made for computers.
Sure, all of us would like to have the latest and greatest Pentium, but
most of us can't afford it now. Wherever the market is, that's where the
technology will stay. So don't panic. Buy one, if you want one. Just
try to buy the best you can afford. 4X would be preferrable. They should
be good for some time yet. Two of the better drives I've seen discussed
here are the Toshiba and the Plextor. Both seem to have provided lots of
happy customers. Have fun shopping.

I've Noticed That The Manufacture Rated Avarage Access Times Are Usually
Slower Than Most SCSI CD-Roms. But As Far As Data Transfer Rate 300/kbsec is
300/kbsec regardless Of The Interface Card. The One Thing To Consider Is That
An IDE CD-rom Acts Like another HarddRive And " Slaves " To Your Exsiting IDE
HardDrive. So If You Need To Add A Second HArdDrive Your System Will Have To
Have Bios Support For More Than Two Harddrives Or You'll Have To Use A Second
HardDirive Controller That Can Be set As a Secondary Controller at A Secondary
I/O Address...

It Says Right In The Manual 8Meg Minumum. 360k Base And 7000k xms or ems.
Also The Max Installation is Only 42mb to your harddrive and 20meg available

I am running a 386DX40 with the AMD cpu-I don't know what the chip set is-
DMDRVR>BIN is a Disk Manager for the hard drive-I have removed it since it is
not used very oftern. I have (I think) an Oak video board driving a vga
monitor. I have added the "X=A000-C7FF I=C800-EFFF on the line as you
suggested-it had no effect one way or the other. With Ramboost, DEVICEHIGH and
LOADHIGH have no effect-ramboost loads high what ever it wants to and seems to
ignore what you want. If I try DOS=HIGH,UMB then ramboost suspends
itself and I get the message "no UMB memory to capture for UMB platform".
About the only other thing I haven't mentioned is that I am using IBM's PCDos
version 6.1.
Thanks for your suggestions-I look forward to anything else you think I might
try.

How do I increase virtual memory for WIN/OS2? I have 8 megs of

I know Ill need a bigger swap file!.
Any Myst players using OS/2? Thanks a lot.

I think it is funner if you figure it out for yourself and see how smart
you are. If it has taken you this long to try and solve some of the
puzzles, then I guess you're not bright enough.
Anyways, if you haven't already gotten through the underground

Noticed that you seem to have MYST down pat. I was wondering if

give me a quick run-down on it? And what you thought of it?
Also, more importantly, is MYST a game that you can only play once,
and then shelve because you have "solved" it? If that is the case, I will
end up looking for a used copy rather than spend the money on a new one.
Any suggestions?

Well as my knowledge let me, you don't need any special hardware (if
you only want to use the program or see a movie, other wise to edit one
of those CD you'll need more that just only a WORM Drive) except a good
CD-ROM that is compatible with the CD-i format, right now many CD-ROMS
do read CD-i format, but they run a bit slower, because is in another CD
format.

BLACK 2 WHITE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE CONNECTOR WHEN IT'S PLUG INTO THE

ORDER THAT IT SHOULD BE IS BLACK, WHITE, BLACK, WHITE. BLACK WIRES ARE

IT ON ONE SIDE OF THE CABLE. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH SIDE. SOUND CARDS

OK, I guess the best thing you can do it to subsribe a magazine like PC
magazine, Byte, or PC computing, if you are interested in the CD-ROM only there
is a magazine called Cd-ROM today (one CD-ROM comes with every issue). Most of
these magazine takes about 20-30 buck to subsribe for a year, that's about the
same price for a book, but the info will be updated very frequently and you
will be always on top (that's where I get most of my info), the CD-ROM today is
more expensive (about $60 a year), but since they come with CD-ROM disks, it's
worth it. A lot of great magazines out there can give you lots of up-to-date
informations. That will be your best bet if you want to know the best out
there!
Hope this helps!

They work fine. I have 2 Pioneer units on my BBS along with A Mitsumi
internal and users are able to access all 13 disks. It's a matter of
setting up the drivers and installing a SCSI card for the Pioneer. The 2
should work together perfectly. The only problem you may notice is a bit
of a slowdown on a multi-node BBS when the changer is swapping disks.
I would recommend the use of a CD-ROM door like Rombrain or EZ-ROM to
help manage things. Both doors support the Pioneer changers quite
nicely. You will need to change your MSCDEX line in your autoexec.bat to
reflect the addition of another drive. The Pioneer comes with the
necessary drivers you'll need, or you can use 3rd party drivers such as
CORELSCSI. I cannot be any happier (and also my users) with the variety
of files that are available online. Good luck!

I think I have to agree with you, the puzzles in Myst are far too easy. I also
solved the game in about thirty hours playing time. Once you get the feeling
for the operation of the game the rest is easy. I also have to agree that the
graphics are spectacular, but I didn't buy the game for that. If I want nice
pictures I'll get a photo-CD. I was also very much dissapointed with the books
(the red and blue books). You have to listen through several minutes of
noise if you want to know what they're saying, irritating!

I you finished the game you should know what's mentioned in the letter. Where
did you find the last page (you did find the white page I hope!!).
Good luck,

There is a button on the lower portion of the wall on each landing. I
can't see it on my monitor because it's too dark. Yours is probably the
same. Go down to the door of one of the rooms. Turn around and go back
up till you are one frame below the landing. Press on the lower third
of the side wall of the landing ( the side that is most prominent )
until it opens. On a dark monitor it's a trial and error process.
Sorry.

MYST
O.K., I've finished Myst but I remember having difficulty with the
Stoneship Age. To turn on the underwater lamp. I started at the top of
the compass and made a clockwise circle trying each button( and resetting
the generator after each time) Was there a hint as to which button I
should have pressed. I thought someone said something about the telescope?

What exactly are the 'penelties' for using the library hint book?

ok i am tired of wondering around myst. I am tring to get to the mechanical
age so I can finish the game. I have been to all the other worlds. oh by the
way I only get a blue page from the selenitic age? Hope so! any way I have
rotated the tower and everything. I know that the key says 2:40 2,2,1 but,
what do you do with it? Do you enter it in the star room? Help please!?
Does the movement monument and the clock have a relation. I am probably just
over looking one component!

Hi,
As a result of the many tips I received on my previous question (about
the 'submarine'), I've managed to get alot further now. Thanks go to
all those that have sent me hints and tips!
Now I'm stuck again 8-( This time I'm on the island where there is
this ship, that is lying 'in' a rock. It is the same island where
the lighthouse and the looking glass are.
I figured out how the three switches (under the umbrella-like thing)
work, but that doesn't get me any further.
I can get a piece of blue and piece of red paper, but I can't find
a way to get back to the first island, so I can put it in the
corresponding book.
I don't know how to get the key in the lighthouse, and I don't know
what to do with the chest at the bottom of the lighthouse.
And what should I do in the under-water room (which you reach
through the ship).
Can you give me a hint (or two?). I don't want to know any solutions,
but I'd like to get a few pushes in the right direction(s).
Is it a problem if I haven't "entered" the book on island two (under
the big wheel, near the ship)?? I have only looked at it, but did
not entered it. Does this mean I can't solve the puzzles at the
island with the lighthouse?? (I hope not!!)
Greetings & hope to hear something soon,
Bjorn.

There's a UHS file for Myst on ftp.gmd.de -- all of the new UHS files go
there. I believe the filename is /if-archive/solutions/uhs/myst.uhs. (I
uploaded the file to CIS and AOL, FWIW).

Zachary,
there is also another page located at the boat dock.
Switch all the marker switches up, then goto the boat dock
and switch this one down. The marker should open and expose
a "white page" before you use this page, however, save your game.
Use this page down in the "fireplace" instead of the other two pages
"red" or "blue". Apparently this is the book Sirrus and Achenar
were warning you to stay away from. check it out.

In order to get the lights on you have to think of the top button as
north and count 13 to the right and that should be the button which
keeps the lights on.

Like every elevator in Channelwood, itis powered by water, but you have to

SeleniticAge.The main antenna will play the 5 sounds in correct orderto

You could just make a map like any maze puzzle, but the sounds tell
you which way to go. If you went to mechanical age first, you will
even know which sound means which direction before you start.

1) Ignore anyone who tells you to make a map. They are wrong. If you make
a map, you miss the whole point of this puzzle, and are missing out on all
the fun.
2) There is a logical solution to this puzzle that does not involve
exploring every possibility.
3) At *EVERY* junction, there is a totally blatant clue about which way to
go next.
4) Think carefully about the theme of the world you are in. What have you
had to do to get where you are? Given what you have done previously, what
form do you think the clue will take?

there is a telescope at tthe top of the island, whith the lighthouse going,
you point it in the direction of the light. That is the angle for the
compass rose. Must have been tedious doing it the way you did.

I am having trouble with Myst. It seems that when I try to trip the power
switch near the rocket and near the generator house (the tower) they
won't stay down. I've been through the library and read the books.
Can someone please send me e-mail to help correct what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Ray

There is a piece of paper that has been torn in half. One half is up in the
treehouses, and the other half (I think) is in the mechanical age. Put them
together, and it tells you what to do.
Note that most likely the left side of the page has a typo, and your game
should have come with a little note that said to read the "OFF" as "ON" for
the left half of the page only.

This is the page that is hinted at by putting together the
two peices of the torn paper that you find. This will leas you to it!

(1) I got in the spaceship and know the correct notes to use, but I am
tone deaf so I can't set them correctly. I've wasted an hour trying to
do this. Any ideas . . .
Just count the keys, and count up the number of "clicks" to move the levers.
(2) I have gotten to the fortress level and found both the read and blue
pages, but have no idea about how to rotate it, what the combiniation
is for that + + + + push button thing, I have taken the elevator up to
the top and looked up seeing some levers but can't figure out what
to do with them, HELP
This was hard to figure out. Go into the elevator. After pressing the down
button, you have a few seconds to walk back out of the elevator.
(3) I don't know what to do in that cabin with the safe. I opened
it and found the matches and lit the fire, but I don't get what is
suppose to happen.
Playing around with the wheel will cause something to happen to the large
tree behind the cabin.
(4) I am in the stone ship age, and can't turn on the lights in that
dark room in the ship.
Look for a secret room somewhere off the stairways that lead to the two
bedrooms. It is almost impossible to see, so I suggest you start clicking
everywhere. Go to one of the bedroom doors, turnaround, and go up one
flight. Then click on the left and right walls.
(5) There are all these little animation sequences like the jumping snake
or the rotating things in the Stoneship age etc that just don't seem to
do anthing. Am I missing something or are those just there for show?
Just for show.

I have the same problem. Many scenes change acceptably fast, but there are
quite a few important one (like the library and imager) which can take up
to 15 seconds (at first I thought it'd hung) to update. A stray mouse click...
Well, you get the picture.
There is a mystmpc.exe file available which gives help on problems people
have running Myst. It specifically states that users of Mitsumi drives
need to upgrade to version 1.01 of Myst. Now if anyone can get through to tech
support and order it for me... Their customer service lines are **always**
busy. I finally got through to the BBS at 3:15am ET (don't ask :-) and left
a message for the sysop. If I hear anything useful about ordering 1.01
(without taking a day off to try and get through to customer service) I will
post it here.

I am getting farther along in MYST, to the stoneship age, fortress age, and
space ship age. But I have NEVER figured out what the chimney in the
library does. I see the 6 by 8 grid that you can program and I see the
book in the library from page 1 to 300 with cominations for it. However
I never have figured which one to use. Maybe I am not supposed to know
at this stage? I didn't see anything in the tower about it, unless I
myst (i.e. missed) something . . .
mail me any clues, but not too much, thanks,

You saw all the endings. Putting 8 in the imager will get you a message

I think I have to agree with you, the puzzles in Myst are far too easy. I also
solved the game in about thirty hours playing time. Once you get the feeling
for the operation of the game the rest is easy. I also have to agree that the
graphics are spectacular, but I didn't buy the game for that. If I want nice
pictures I'll get a photo-CD. I was also very much dissapointed with the books
(the red and blue books). You have to listen through several minutes of
noise if you want to know what they're saying, irritating!

I you finished the game you should know what's mentioned in the letter. Where
did you find the last page (you did find the white page I hope!!).

There is a button on the lower portion of the wall on each landing. I
can't see it on my monitor because it's too dark. Yours is probably the
same. Go down to the door of one of the rooms. Turn around and go back
up till you are one frame below the landing. Press on the lower third
of the side wall of the landing ( the side that is most prominent )
until it opens. On a dark monitor it's a trial and error process.
Sorry.

what do you do with it? Do you enter it in the star room? Help please!?

Hi,
As a result of the many tips I received on my previous question (about
the 'submarine'), I've managed to get alot further now. Thanks go to
all those that have sent me hints and tips!
Now I'm stuck again 8-( This time I'm on the island where there is
this ship, that is lying 'in' a rock. It is the same island where
the lighthouse and the looking glass are.
I figured out how the three switches (under the umbrella-like thing)
work, but that doesn't get me any further.
I can get a piece of blue and piece of red paper, but I can't find
a way to get back to the first island, so I can put it in the
corresponding book.
I don't know how to get the key in the lighthouse, and I don't know
what to do with the chest at the bottom of the lighthouse.
And what should I do in the under-water room (which you reach
through the ship).
Can you give me a hint (or two?). I don't want to know any solutions,
but I'd like to get a few pushes in the right direction(s).
Is it a problem if I haven't "entered" the book on island two (under
the big wheel, near the ship)?? I have only looked at it, but did
not entered it. Does this mean I can't solve the puzzles at the
island with the lighthouse?? (I hope not!!)
Greetings & hope to hear something soon,
Bjorn.

There's a UHS file for Myst on ftp.gmd.de -- all of the new UHS files go
there. I believe the filename is /if-archive/solutions/uhs/myst.uhs. (I
uploaded the file to CIS and AOL, FWIW).

Zachary,
there is also another page located at the boat dock.
Switch all the marker switches up, then goto the boat dock
and switch this one down. The marker should open and expose
a "white page" before you use this page, however, save your game.
Use this page down in the "fireplace" instead of the other two pages
"red" or "blue". Apparently this is the book Sirrus and Achenar
were warning you to stay away from. check it out.

In order to get the lights on you have to think of the top button as
north and count 13 to the right and that should be the button which
keeps the lights on.

Like every elevator in Channelwood, itis powered by water, but you have to

You could just make a map like any maze puzzle, but the sounds tell
you which way to go. If you went to mechanical age first, you will
even know which sound means which direction before you start.

1) Ignore anyone who tells you to make a map. They are wrong. If you make
a map, you miss the whole point of this puzzle, and are missing out on all
the fun.
2) There is a logical solution to this puzzle that does not involve
exploring every possibility.
3) At *EVERY* junction, there is a totally blatant clue about which way to
go next.
4) Think carefully about the theme of the world you are in. What have you
had to do to get where you are? Given what you have done previously, what
form do you think the clue will take?

I am having trouble with Myst. It seems that when I try to trip the power
switch near the rocket and near the generator house (the tower) they
won't stay down. I've been through the library and read the books.
Can someone please send me e-mail to help correct what I may be doing wrong?

There is a piece of paper that has been torn in half. One half is up in the
treehouses, and the other half (I think) is in the mechanical age. Put them
together, and it tells you what to do.
Note that most likely the left side of the page has a typo, and your game
should have come with a little note that said to read the "OFF" as "ON" for
the left half of the page only.

(1) I got in the spaceship and know the correct notes to use, but I am
tone deaf so I can't set them correctly. I've wasted an hour trying to
do this. Any ideas . . .
Just count the keys, and count up the number of "clicks" to move the levers.
(2) I have gotten to the fortress level and found both the read and blue
pages, but have no idea about how to rotate it, what the combiniation
is for that + + + + push button thing, I have taken the elevator up to
the top and looked up seeing some levers but can't figure out what
to do with them, HELP
This was hard to figure out. Go into the elevator. After pressing the down
button, you have a few seconds to walk back out of the elevator.
(3) I don't know what to do in that cabin with the safe. I opened
it and found the matches and lit the fire, but I don't get what is
suppose to happen.
Playing around with the wheel will cause something to happen to the large
tree behind the cabin.
(4) I am in the stone ship age, and can't turn on the lights in that
dark room in the ship.
Look for a secret room somewhere off the stairways that lead to the two
bedrooms. It is almost impossible to see, so I suggest you start clicking
everywhere. Go to one of the bedroom doors, turnaround, and go up one
flight. Then click on the left and right walls.
(5) There are all these little animation sequences like the jumping snake
or the rotating things in the Stoneship age etc that just don't seem to
do anthing. Am I missing something or are those just there for show?
Just for show.

I have the same problem. Many scenes change acceptably fast, but there are
quite a few important one (like the library and imager) which can take up
to 15 seconds (at first I thought it'd hung) to update. A stray mouse click...
Well, you get the picture.
There is a mystmpc.exe file available which gives help on problems people
have running Myst. It specifically states that users of Mitsumi drives
need to upgrade to version 1.01 of Myst. Now if anyone can get through to tech
support and order it for me... Their customer service lines are **always**
busy. I finally got through to the BBS at 3:15am ET (don't ask :-) and left
a message for the sysop. If I hear anything useful about ordering 1.01
(without taking a day off to try and get through to customer service) I will
post it here.

I am getting farther along in MYST, to the stoneship age, fortress age, and
space ship age. But I have NEVER figured out what the chimney in the
library does. I see the 6 by 8 grid that you can program and I see the
book in the library from page 1 to 300 with cominations for it. However
I never have figured which one to use. Maybe I am not supposed to know
at this stage? I didn't see anything in the tower about it, unless I
myst (i.e. missed) something . . .
mail me any clues, but not too much, thanks,

You saw all the endings. Putting 8 in the imager will get you a message
from what's his name? (The father). It would be a useful clue when you
were starting out... but since you're done...

You said after a warm boot? Does it work correctly from a cold boot
power on? If so then you need to call the support number and they will
probably tell you to return the card or drive for replacement. If the
message comes up regardless, you should look at your data cable <the
wide one> again, you may have it plugged in upside down at either end
instead of having the red stripe lined up with pin #1. That causes the
error you are reporting. Hope this helps.

will slowly slide to the point to where you are waiting another shipment and
at the rate they are selling this will only be about another week or LESS.

TS> Iwant to buy Cd Drives 4x speed but I live in Australia .. How do I do it.
I have been shipping the 4X Mitsumi IDE drives over seas a bunch lately and
the only draw back is the time and the cost. These things run about 4 pound a
piece and to Australia that is about $30 a drive. Sucks for the overseas
market but I have been told that even after paying the shipping and the drive
is still cheaper than over there.
The 4X is $185 and less for quanity purchases.

DO NOT GET ANYTHING MADE BY AZTECH!!! I am running Warp and there is
no way I can get my Aztech 268 running. I can not even get it up in a
separate DOS window. If I dual-boot up into straight DOS then I have
no problems. I have called Aztech support and tried to call their BBS.
I am convinced it is a single line BBS because I only get through once
every 95 tries. Then I get a message that because it is a 1200 baud
system (NO LIE!) I am not able to log on. I have scaled back my 14,400
to 1200 but I have not gotten through since then. I have d/l several
sets of drivers from a local BBS, but no help.
I am going to keep trying an hopefully there will one day be Warp
drivers and I can get some help.
Hope this helps.

Introducing Japanese Pearls!!
Cyber-Graphix is pleased to announce it's second CD-ROM Release,
JAPANESE PEARLS, and it features nothing but incredibly beautiful
Japanese models in both 8 bit and 24 bit high resolution SVGA color
scans. Unlike some other Asian CD-ROM discs on the market, JAPANESE
PEARLS has absolutely no duplicate pictures, and it's contents are 100%
Japanese!
JAPANESE PEARLS contains over 600MB of awesome Japanese images,
including PG-rated,a nd R-rated action! That's over 2600
mouth-watering Japanese honeys for you to savor! Each picture has been
hand selected to ensure that it is a sharp, clear scan, and the model
is extremely attractive. In addition, the images are logically
organized by subject, with categories such as PG-rated, R-rated, JPEGs,
and GIFs, etc.
Not only does JAPANESE PEARLS have over 2600 incredible pictures of
beautiful, exotic Japanese women, it also contains an array of useful
shareware graphics and viewing programs. Included are GIF viewers for
DOS, Microsoft Windows 3.1.
Maybe you've bought a Japanese specific CD-ROM before, (such as Asian
Palate), and have been sorely disappointed in the number of images on
the disc. Believe me, you will not be disappointed in JAPANESE PEARLS!
Japanese Pearls will retail for $59.95, but since you are a valued
STARFLEET SOFTWARE customer, we are giving you the opportunity to
reserve your copy at the special pre-release price of $39.95! That's a
33% savings over the retail price. But, if you order by February 1,

Hmmm, that is odd, all I can figure is maybe the way your windows
is set up for ms-dos prompt. I can suggest re-installing windows, that may
help out a little. What kind of a cd-rom drive is it? My only suggestion
is re-installing your windows or you might also want to get a new version
of mscdex.exe because it may be messed up, sorry I can't help out that
much. See ya later.

Did you buy that CD-ROM at Costco? I bought one there, and it
sounds like we have the same item. I tried the 800 number and there was
no answer over the course of the 8 hour workday [this was Friday, but
not a holiday weekend, so there should have been something between 8 am
and 5 pm].

Well, I didn't try IRQ 14, as it is taken by the HD's already.....
but on to IRQ 15.
I got the same problems, only with mine, I could not access ANY of
my floppies! Must be a DMA conflict, as it sure couldn't be an address
conflict.
JG> I have a Promise Super IDE handling the other drives. It appears to
JG> have no IRQ choices and seems to be at 14 IRQ.
Don't know what you mean by "Super IDE", but I have a Promise
DC4030-VL2 caching controller on IRQ 14.
JG> Is there an IDE card that will handle 2 floppies, 2 HD's and the CDROM
JG> on 1 card?
Promise told me yesterday that a 4030 card will be coming out with
an additional 2 serial/parallel ports, and an IDE connector for a
CD-ROM! Not sure of the release date, as they were not sure.
JG> Will the IDE channel make a big difference? I have it at IDE channel
JG> 2. (170HEX)
You have done everything correctly. There is a problem with this,
and Sony has been notified. The real problem is that the drive is Sony
[I am assuming here that you have the same package I have, which SAYS
Sony in big letters on the box, but in fact is being sold by a company
called Multimedia World. They have supplied a CRAPPY, INFERIOR, and
[apparently] NON-WORKING controller; it appears in hopes that most
people will simply not use the controller, but only have 1 IDE drive,
and hang it on the main IDE port. The drive sold AS Sony should have
Future Domain silk-screened on the interface card, and mine doesn't, as
I am sure yours doesn't, as you said you only have 2 IRQ choices. Sony
says the Future Domain card they specified for this drive has more
choices [not sure how many more, but they did MENTION a choice of IRQ
10!]
JG> How do I solve this? Is installing a CDROM this tough??
JG> Thanks for your help.
I am taking mine back to Costco, as the card IS bad, and I have not
been able to find anyone selling the interface specified by SONY. I do
know that IF you also want a sound card, the Turtle Beach Tropez has an
IDE port, and is a GREAT sound card [don't have mine yet, but that is
because they don't have OS/2 drivers, and they don't plan on any...still
deciding if I really want one]. Otherwise, I would search for that
Sony-specified Future Domain card, and if you find it before me, please
write me! [IF I find it, I'll be sure to write you]
Oh, another thing I found was that the drivers disk was not correct,
it had the CDU-55E on the label, but the disk-id said it was for the
CDU-33...wrong drive! So even if I could have accessed the floppies
with that interface installed, it probably would not help, and the
driver was not correct!

I Have Two Of Them and They Both Run Fine. According To MPC Wizard they Both
have Data transfer Rates Of 451ksec and One Has An Average Access Time Of
220ms The Other Is Right at 255ms. The One That Has The Faster Access Time Is
Newer And has A Different Firm Ware Revision ver1.2.
I'm running Both off an Adaptec AHA-1542cf.

No If It's An IDE It Hooks Too Your Harddirve Controller Card. If Your

The CD-Rom To The First HardDrive on the OnBoard IDE Controller And Then Put
Your Second hardDrive as Master on the New controller.
The Documentation Should Tell You If the New Controller Caed Can Be Set As A

The plot is disappointingly poor, and the only thing that makes the game
interesting is the fact that there are some nice 3D-graphics.
Putting KQ6 on top of a scale of 10 points, Ecstatica gets 3 points.
Come to think of it you could compare E with "Critical Path", where CP had
better graphics but an even poorer plot.
Before buying it, consider the possibilities of borrowing it from somewhere.
You won't need it for more than 3 days.
Volker.

Same deal as with Aztec - hard to get drivers-even if you find some they are
patch up jobs from other cards. Thech. support is just plain pityful.

Nowhere in your ad do you mention Visa/Mastercard, so I assume you
don't take them.
Sending pre payments has caused me (and I'm sure many others) loss
of dollars with no merchandise received -- so I make it a point to
ONLY do mail order business by charge card so that I have some
recourse.
I realize you have a good name (I'm not at all saying you are not a
reliable businessman), but dealing with charge cards keeps the consumer
safe and would probably increase your business.

Before you buy an ATI, Diamond, etc. brand card, check this out.
I bought a no-name 1 meg (JAX 8241) vesa local bus card that uses the
"S3" chipset. After reading the video landmark tests done by Computer Gaming
World in their December 1994 issue, I decided to run the same tests on my
S3 card. Here are the results of the "VLB" cards:
Card 3DBench Vidspeed PCBench WinBench
(v8.0) (v4.0)
* JAX 8241 -S3 47.60 8346/2188 4654 9.9
ATI Graphics Pro Turbo -Mach 64 47.60 6030/2347 3642 21.9
ATI Graphics Wonder -Mach 32 47.60 7281/2631 3197 9.9
ATI Graphics Xpression -Mach 64 47.60 7347/2840 4087 21.2
DIAMOND Viper SE 32.20 1830/1214 2217 11.4
DIAMOND Speedstar Pro -S3 47.60 7641/2732 4495 9.2
DIAMOND Stealth Pro -S3 50.00 9972/2035 4417 12.8
DIAMOND Stealth 64 -S3 50.00 9887/2052 4807 20.6
DIAMOND Stealth 64 DRAM -S3 50.00 10304/2035 5059 20.4
STB Lightspeed -ET4000/W32p 50.00 8899/4286 5676 17.6
(higher number is better)
The first three tests are for DOS, while WinBench is for Windows.
As you can see, my cheapo (less than $100) card beat every ATI card
for DOS games. ATI is great for Windows, though.
You might check out a generic "S3" VLB card and save big bucks.
Later,
-Becky

I have King's Quest 7 on CD, I'll trade with you if you like. I
have had no problems with my copy and It was a VERY fun game. I
can send you a help file on disk along with the game if you
want.
Does this game run on a 486SX33 with 8 megs ram and a 2x cd-rom? I
don't care if it's a little slow. Just not so slow I could format 10
disks in the time it takes to get through a part that usually goes by in
a couple minutes.

Just thought I'd butt in here with an answer to your question. Yes,
once you solve Myst, there is not much else to do with the game other
than wander back through all the levels (known as "ages") and take a
look around, enjoy the scenery, and see things you might have missed
before, even if they were not important in solving the game.
Because many would indeed consider Myst a "one time play" game, it might
be best to not ask for solutions every time you are temporarily stuck
somewhere in the game. That way, you can play it for days, weeks, or
even months, and enjoy the fact that you solved it with your own keen
observation and deductive reasoning powers, rather than having someone
tell you the solutions.
I've been following several CD-ROM conferences for a few months now, and
have not seen many (if any at all) ads for anyone wanting to sell a used
copy of Myst.

Thanks for your suggestions --however, DeviceHigh does not work with Ramboost
which is PCDos's memory manager-also, Dos=high,umb will lock up the system for
the same reason. RamDrive is a cache program. I will try your suggestions on
the Stacks=0,0 ;and the change in the Shell= line. I have removed the
CmosClock.sys lint also.
I am beginning to think that I may just be stuck with 566k of memory as that is
the best I have been able to get. At this point, it seems that any changes I

Paul,
I read your post about the CD Rom drive you bought from Price
Club and was wondering if you could answer a question for me.
I too purchased one of these drives from Price Club and the drive
it self works great but I can't get any sound out the the headphone
jack at the front of the drive. Do you need a sound card to get
sound out of the CD drive? I'm using my IDE controller card, the
controller card that came with it has an imput for the sound out
put but that doesn't work either. There is no answer at the phone
number for customer support on the box. No sound on music CD's
either. While I'm at it I might as well hit you with one more!
I understand the eight bit sound blaster card does not have an input
for the CD Rom drive. Can I get sound out of the CD player with an
8 bit card with no CD to sound card connection? I'm kind of new
to this CD Rom stuff, thanks alot for your help!!

Is this a caddy system? I need to mount the thing vertically and I've
been told it needs to be the kind that takes a caddy to do this. Also, do
you have a number for Teac so I can call for literature? Tks.

I'm going to purchase a CDROM drive soon. It will be a 4X, probably a
SCSI2. It will be an internal drive that uses the caddy. I also will
purchase the Soundblaster 16 with the SCSI2 built in. The three drives
I've heard most talked about here that I am looking at are the,
1. Plextor 4X (the one with the 1Mb cache)
2. Toshiba 4X
3. Teac 4X
I'd like prices on all three, providing they are internal and use a caddy.
I also want complete specifications, i.e. access time and transfer rate
and compatibility with the SB16 SCSI2 card. I need the caddy because the
drive will be mounted vertically and someone said that if you do that they
need to be the caddy type. Please let me know these prices, along with
warranty information and availability and I'll let you know. Thanks.

JR> I too purchased one of these drives from Price Club and the drive
JR> it self works great but I can't get any sound out the the headphone
JR> jack at the front of the drive. Do you need a sound card to get
JR> sound out of the CD drive? I'm using my IDE controller card, the
JR> controller card that came with it has an imput for the sound out
JR> put but that doesn't work either. There is no answer at the phone
JR> number for customer support on the box. No sound on music CD's
JR> either. While I'm at it I might as well hit you with one more!
There *SHOULD* be sound comming out of the front jack, be sure to turn the
volume control knob next to it up. IF not, I'd take it back to Price Club
(they have a 30 day warranty, in fact I took my first one back because they
gave me an older 33a, even though the ticket was for a 55E, (Big difference in
speed =-).
JR> I understand the eight bit sound blaster card does not have an input

JR> 8 bit card with no CD to sound card connection? I'm kind of new
JR> to this CD Rom stuff, thanks alot for your help!!
Really, if you want to use it for CD-ROM games and Multimedia... Get a 16 Bit
sound card! I suggest the Sound Blaster 16. If you look hard enough you can
find these cheap. I picked up a SB16MCD (that's the one with the 3 CD-ROM
interfaces, but the 55E doesn't use them (just disable them =-) for $79
locally. Lots of the smaller computer Dealers get the "OEM" SB16MCD's for
system they build for about half of what the full version is (the difference
is no "midi demo software", and a black and white manual. They are the same
card though (even say "Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 MCD" just like the $150
version =-). I like the SB16, and it's upgradeable to Wavetable to boot.
With the 16 bit card, you'll get much better sound, the ability to connect
your CD-ROM to it (and one connection to your speakers/stereo), the ability to
record directly from CD's to the sound card, and more... get a 16bit sound
card, 8 bit doesn't cut it anymore.

Okay, the note number 1 is pointing to in the drawing should be the first
selector/slider you set. For example, 1 points to the low C, so "tune" the
first (leftmost) selector to a C pitch. Then play the note 2 is pointing to
and tune the second slider to the same note. Follow this procedure for all 5
notes.

The current CD-ROM Disc size is *not* on its way out. There there are other
discs on the market, mini-discs, but they aren't catching on. No need to worry
about the current rom-disc size anywhere in the near future.

So long as LASTDRIVE is loaded, I think you can force a drive
letter higher than the next in sequence. For example, I have
FDD "a" and HDD "c-g". An optional Bernoulli device is "h" and I forced
the internal CD-ROM always to load as "s" -- no troubles on two separate
machines with different CD drives over a period of 3+ years. Someone
might save a _little_ room by using LASTDRIVE to reserve less than 26
drive letters -- such as LASTDRIVE=S.

I know exactly how Stacker and all the drive assignments work....But
that fact is the you can force a CD-Rom Drive letter assignment....Also
it doesn't matter what order the CD-Rom and Stacker Drivers are in the
CONFIG.SYS....The CD-Rom doesn't even receive a drive letter until
MSCDEX.EXE is executed in the AUTOEXEC.BAT and you can use /L:G to
assign the CD-Rom drive letter to G: as long as there is no Stacker
drive or partition already assigned....On my system I had a Stacked
drive named C: and a CD-Rom on D: and the original Hard Drive letter was
renamed to E: proving the this type of operation is possible....Trust
me....I know what I am talking about.....And you didn't confuse me....I
already understood how it works.....l8r.....

Hi! I bought a Double speed Sony CDU33A, and am having problems installing

be because this is my E drive?
I know the Hardware is installed correctly because I took it in to get
installed, so the guy installed different software, which makes it work. It,
however, makes it thinks its a quad speed, so in all my CD games it always
skips and pauses.
Anybody else have this problem? And any ideas how I can get it working with
the proper software?

Well I don't know what your other problems are, but if you had
DMDRVR.BIN in your Config.sys file that ment that the drive was set up
using DISK MANAGER and this file is require unless the drive was
re-partitioned and formatted again. That file is the software device
driver for disk setup using DISK MANAGER and it is used each time the
system boots up. The sequence of loading memory devices is important
and should follow this sequence in the config.sys file:
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE with either RAM or NOEMS switch
DOS=HIGH,UMB loads DOS into high memory.
All paths to commands used must be correct.

According to the Elist, the moderator of record is Bob Hall.
He hasn't been seen in this area for over a month.....
Personally, I'd like to see the number and size of the ads reduced to
the suggestion he has posted in the echo rules - a ten line limit, and
a small number of ads posted by any one dealer within a set time period.
Ads are fine - but within reason! The not-nearly-often-enough posted
"rules" permit ads, but in moderation.
My other pet peeve is the endless "help" messages for games. Over the
course of three or four months, the same questions are asked and answered
again and again! There is more than one echo devoted to general games,
game playing, and hints. There are even echoes which are devoted to
specific games.
There are TWO national CD-ROM echoes. I believe the original intent of
this one was technical support of hardware. The other one, CDROM_SALE,
is specifically for the posting of ads, both commercial and private.
I'll try to find a NetMail address for Mr. Hall - and I'll ask for
your support in petitioning him to either stepin to do his job, or
turn over the reins to someone with more than a passing interest.
Thanks,

Any ideas or help...I can't get the MIDI part to work in dos

NEC-210. I've found out later that the drive sometimes works in dos
window, but it doesn't make any sense to me. I think reinstalling
windows may get me into a messier situation because of all the little
programs I have that changed the INI files, and I have no idea what they
are. What's the latest version of mscdex? I'm using the one that came
with DOS 6.2

JS>Hello, I have had The 7th Guest for a while now, but I have not been ale to
JS>figure out the answer to the can puzzle in the kitchen and the bishop puzzle
JS>in the upstairs bedroom. I would really appreciate some help from somebody.
You probably have looked into the cluebook in the library. Simple thing
after that to do was to look at the cans and see that almost all the
words have Y's in them probably (you might have guessed that) then
looking at your cluebook you find a strange message. These are synonyms
to the words in the solution. Take out your thesaurus and just look for
words that have lots of Y's in them.

ML>RK> Hey has anyone played Under the Killing Moon? or seen demos? How
ML>RK> good is
ML>RK> it? Does it need a lot of memory? Thanks
ML>Under a Killing Moon is a superb game. Trust me, it's worth every cent. It
ML>requires 4 megs of RAM to run, but 16 megs is recommended.
I got it and unfortunately I had too much stuff in memory even though I
was booting as clean as I could with CD stuff and Sound and himem and a
few others I thought I needed. 16 more K! Damn!
That's why I'm getting more memory than 4 megs.

I have an older CD-ROM drive, and it tends to be very slow. I have
some games which won't run on it because of it's speed. I have managed to
"cheat" some of them into running from copies of the games on the hard drive,
but some of them seek out a CD-ROM drive to load from.
My question is simply, is there any way to cheat and tell DOS that a
hard drive is actually a CD-ROM drive?
I would appreciate any help on this.

After trying the SB 1.0, original SB16 and the SB16UP drivers, with and
without MIDI channel 10 to no avail, I finally in desperation configured
the SB16 as an SB Pro and guess what it worked and in fact I was able
to finish the game. A little tricky in that the blaster statement must
be for an SB16 but all other references are to the SB Pro. So in your
case there is no reason not to get it. However even as an SB Pro the
animated graphics in Chapter 6 are some of the slowest I have ever
seen. I faxed Sierra 3 times and still have had no response and I can
only assume they have yet to come up with a solution, so hope mine is
of help to others who have an SB16.---

Now it works!!
I think there are a lot of people with the same problem:
If you can't hear the sound of your Audio CDs in the CD ROM drive, check out,
if the Audio cable from the drive to the Soundcard is connected right. And
then, try with inverting the wires...

Oh,
I didn't realize You were Using IBM-Dos. Ramdisk is a memory disk program
that emulates a very fast TEMPORARY disk drive. I't's Not A Disk Caching
Program. It has To Be Recreated after you turn power off on your machine. You
Also have To Copy Programs To it to even utilize it. however you can set a
ramdrive up as your Temp Directory. And Remember the more ram you have
dedicated to a ramdrive the less you'll have available for other programs to
run.
Does PC Dos Have Parameter equal to " UMB " ? or Does The RamBoost Driver
control access to the Upper Memory Blocks ?
I Personally Use Qemm as a memory manager. Even With All My CD-Rom Drivers
as Well as ansi.sys and setver.exe loaded I Still have 634k base memory
available.
Never have had any problems with game compatability.

Rick

You know and I know, that most of the GIF CD's arriving on the

I'm the producer of the Pixels of Passion/Keyhole Fantasies/High

Sorry for the bad news, but:
I not only have heard of Computer CD's in a smaller form, in december 1994 I
have seen them. And the most astonishing was, I saw them not in a specialized
computerstore, but in a normal bookstore in a town called Chur (30'000
inhabitants) in Switzerland. On the CD's were dictionaries.

WAGNER LIPNHARSKI wrote in a message to ALL:
WL> I need price and information some kind of CD ROM Recorder.
I don't sell them... but I just got a Yamaha quad speed so I
have a pretty good idea of current prices...
The Yamaha quads are going for about $3,800 for the bare drive.
(That may not last much longer as our noble president continues
to allow the dollar to slip in value against the Yen.) Expect to
pay about $200 for a good SCSI controller card to run it if you
don't already have one... and GOOD luck in finding software for
under $800 that will operate it! The custom packages for the
Yamaha (without a hard drive) are around $6,000.
The Philips double speeds are about $2,800... I think they come
with some software. They are reliable and probably the best
choice if you don't plan on very heavy usage.
The Rico recorders are about $2,500 but not really reliable.
DON'T even consider a Pinicle Micro recorder... they are TOTAL
crap and have cost me plenty in time and money when I have paid
someone to do a one-off that had one. Out of 6 disc they made
for me the factory only could read one of the.... And evey time
they tried to read another disc I spent an extra $15 for
overnight shipping... and I was charged $85 to make a one-off
that after trying 5 times NEVER worked. I'm not the only one
who has wasted time and money with these recorders... ask Mike
Shannon at Starvector about his problems with the Pinicle Micro
when they made CD WinBox.... they finally gave up....
FINALLY... you have to consider the speed and quality of your
Hard Drive. The drive is supposed to be capable of thermal re-
calibration. ( I found that a Quantum 1800 (1.8 gig) I had
purchased from James Porter (advertises on fidonet frequently)
works fine with my Yamaha.) Note.... I couldn't get an entire
cd to finish writing when I used a 40 mhz 386 mother board. It
wasn't fast enough... so you will need a 486... at least 50 mhz
if you use a fast recorder. Also... beware of OPTI chips...
they are incompatible with the Yamaha and perhaps other
recorders since they all probably have some internal parts that
are made by the same developer.
...one last consideration is the cost of the blank media...
wholesale bulk prices are over $10 (unless you have a better
connection than I have found) and if you need the higher
quality media that is required by the quad speed recorders then
add about $3. The price of the blank media is the main reason
to stay away from Pinicle and Rico! You can't afford to be
wasting a lot of blanks.

An Open Letter to Our Colleagues In the Online Communications
Community:
The announcement by CompuServe and Unisys that users of the GIF image
format must register by January 10 and pay a royalty or face lawsuits for
their past usage, is the online communications community's equivalent of
the sneak attack at Pearl Harbor.
The announcement of the CompuServe-Unisys GIF Tax on December 29,
during the lull between Christmas and New Year's Day, was clearly timed
to cause maximum damage while an unsuspecting public celebrated the
holidays.
We at TeleGrafix Communications have no quarrel with those who seek to
protect their intellectual property and profit from it. Indeed, we are in
business to do the same. We believe those who develop software are
entitled to reap financial rewards from their labors.
But in our opinion, the timing and circumstances of the
CompuServe-Unisys action indicates this is a shakedown of the online
communications community by two powerful corporations, rather than a
reasonable effort to protect intellectual property.
The GIF format has been in widespread public use since 1987. Its
widespread use and royalty-free licensing has been encouraged by
CompuServe for years. Neither CompuServe or Unisys have made any
significant improvements to GIF or its underlying LZW algorithm and
compression process to justify charging for what has been free.
Giving GIF users only 14 days to comply with sudden, unexpected demands
to pay the private CompuServe-Unisys GIF Tax or face prosecution for past
usage of what had been promoted for seven years as free, open standard
software is unconscionable. It is especially outrageous since CompuServe
and Unisys admit in writing that they decided to require licensing SIX
MONTHS AGO in June, and didn't announce it to the public until now.
According to the CompuServe-Unisys GIF licensing agreement, the
settlement of the patent dispute was executed on June 21, 1994.
CompuServe agreed to implement the agreement "as soon as reasonably
practicable and in no case later than six (6) months after the date this
Agreement is executed..." That six month period ended on December 21,
1994 -- but CompuServe did not make the licensing terms public until
December 28. Indeed, CompuServe appears to have violated the terms of
its own settlement agreement with Unisys.
While many of the messages we have read online in reaction to the
CompuServe-Unisys GIF Tax decree express both dismay and disbelief,
virtually none have analyzed the actual provisions of the licensing
agreement. It is in this area that TeleGrafix Communications wishes to
contribute to the dialogue.
In our opinion, the CompuServe-Unisys licensing agreement is both
illogical and overly broad. Let's examine some of its key provisions. All
quotes cited are directly from the agreement.
1. CompuServe will license Developers who want to use GIF technology.
The term "developer" is defined as "the other undersigned party to the
agreement," and it seems to apply to ANYONE who contemplates
distributing any product that uses the GIF format.
2. Developers will be licensed to sell or distribute "Products" that "use
and exploit GIF...solely within the Field of Use." The term "Field of Use"
is defined as "primarily for accessing the CompuServe Information Service
and for manipulating and viewing data received through the CompuServe
Information Service." The licensing agreement further defines the term
"Products" as being "software that is developed or distributed...which is
designed for and used primarily for accessing the CompuServe Information
Service and for manipulating and viewing data received through the
CompuServe Information Service." IT APPEARS THAT THE ONLY LAWFUL
USE OF GIF WILL BE FOR COMPUSERVE-RELATED PRODUCTS. Using GIF
images in any other manner, such as on CD-ROMs or bulletin board
systems, is prohibited. Most of the thousands of products that have used
GIF in some manner are henceforth contraband.
3. Developers may no longer "use, copy, modify or distribute the GIF
specification, except as expressly permitted by CompuServe." This states
that the GIF specification can no longer be shared, published or uploaded in
any manner without the express consent of CompuServe.
4. Members of the public are prohibited from using any software product
containing GIF until they have become a REGISTERED user of the product.
The customer also must agree to use the product "primarily for accessing
the CompuServe Information Service and for manipulating and viewing
data received through the CompuServe Information Service." This
virtually eliminates the concept of freeware or shareware containing GIF
capabilities, since prospective customers can no longer try out these
software products without registering them first.
5. Software developers must pay $1.00 for a license to use GIF, PLUS a fee
equal to the GREATER of 1.5% of the selling price of the product, or $0.15
per "Disposition." Disposition is defined as "the sale, lease or license or
any other grant of rights to a Product or any new Product." All royalties
must be paid quarterly. Noncommercial and freeware usage of GIF
technology is NOT exempted from the royalty requirement. Because the
royalty provisions and definition of "Disposition" are so broad in scope, it
appears that a GIF Tax payment may be due to CompuServe-Unisys each
time a GIF image is transmitted via BBS or Internet. The operators of a
BBS or World Wide Web site with hundreds or thousands of GIF images
online could easily be bankrupted by these licensing requirements.
6. CompuServe must be notified of ANY new product using GIF when it is
first offered to customers.
7. Persons using GIF must keep records of its use, and CompuServe has the
right to audit those records every year upon seven days notice. Persons
using GIF must pay the cost of the audit if a royalty underpayment of 10%
or more is discovered, along with 12% interest on any underpaid royalties.
8. Even if the patent is later found by the courts or the U.S. Patent Office
to be invalid and unenforcable, or if the patent expires, any developer
must "return all copies of the GIF specification and any confidential

information of CompuServe then in its possession or control to
CompuServe, (ii) stop using the Licensed Technology, and (iii) stop
distributing Products." This states that EVEN IF THE PATENT IS
OVERTURNED OR EXPIRES, YOU MUST STOP USING OR DISTRIBUTING GIF.
9. Even though CompuServe has publicly disseminated the text of the
agreement it wants GIF users to sign, the terms of the agreement are to
remain confidential. This is illogical, to say the least, since they have
posted it for public download on their own system.
10. Developers have to indemnify and hold CompuServe harmless for any
damages if their CUSTOMERS somehow use GIF technology in a way not
permitted by the licensing agreement.
11. Unisys has the right to enforce the agreement, as well as CompuServe.
Further, Unisys has the right to pursue legal action or seek damages
against Developers even after the agreement has terminated.
TeleGrafix Communicatons Inc. will not sign such a licensing agreement.
We think most other software developers, BBS sysops and Web site
operators also will refuse to sign.
We encourage our colleagues in the online communications community to
evaluate the CompuServe-Unisys action, and to lodge appropriate protests
directly with those companies.
We believe that the CompuServe-Unisys GIF Tax drives a stake through the
heart of Internet development. It will cripple the World Wide Web, NCSA
Mosaic, and other Internet multimedia technologies that rely heavily on
GIF imaging.
Fortunately, we at TeleGrafix Communications do not depend on GIF
imaging in our new RIPscrip 2.0 online multimedia technologies. We chose
to implement the JPEG image format and only recently decided to add GIF
support as a convienience to our customers. Due to the restrictive
conditions of the CompuServe-Unisys GIF Tax and licensing agreement, we
must now reevaluate our plans for supporting GIF use in the upcoming
release of RIPscrip 2.0.
While our company hopes to profit financially from our advanced RIPscrip
2.0 technology, we will not demand royalties from those who have used
the freeware versions of our earlier RIPscrip 1.54 products and/or
technical specifications. The RIPscrip 2.0 specification also will be made
public for third-party use after it is finalized.
We expect that the CompuServe-Unisys action will spell the death of GIF
as a commercially viable technology, shifting the attention of the online
communications community to JPEG imaging.

cannot run anything from The Learning Center software. I am the owner
of Reader Rabbit 1 and 2, Treasure Cove, and Treasure Galaxy. The only
one that will run is the Treasure Galaxy, as it supports both Dos and
Windows, the other three used to run and now will not. I have a 486

All drivers are loaded high for the CD and soundcard. If I rem
everything out they still won't run but all did before installing the
CD. Any suggestions. The Learning Center I have written to and have had
no response from them as of yet. Thanks.........

Well now you have my interest here.I have opened a dos window and can

in windows. If it is a shareware cd then by all means install the

The NSM drives come with a utility that allows the drives to be set up as
drive identifiers and each disk is a subdirectory, or allows each CD to be

The company sent me the information and that's what it says, it says the

As far as I know the only additional cost to canada is 7 cents per ounce US
Mail, and the base rate of UPS is $9.00, instead of $4.00....
I'd prefer if you add enough to cover the UPS charges, if not, I'm forced to
send US Mail, and soem ADULT Titles aren't supposed to be sent that way, but
the manufacturers all send them to me via US Mail....
You can add extra for shipping if you want them send UPS< otherwise, I'll
just send them U.S. Mail, but YES, I do ship to Canada, and most other
countries...

Number 1:You should have asked here before getting a new computer

speed. I have one, and you don't even need a cache (of course).
There's about 700KB/sec data transfer!

IDE connects directly to your sound card,
SCSI you don't need a sound card or interface card, and it is usually

Thanks very much for your order Oscar, but you should never reveal your
credit card number over an international echo like this. Thousands of
people saw the number, which exposes you to possible credit card theft.
My advice is for you to cancel this card at once, and have your bank

Always IN-2000. Don't settle for lesser Adaptec junk.
By report, the Future Domain stuff also works well with the Pioneer

As a general rule a 2X drive is ALL you need for that sort of thing,

You could try calling the manufacturer of your CDRom drive and see if they

I think $19 for 1 lbs. shipping and handling for mail that arriving
after six days was unfairly high.
You did not send any driver, so CD drive you sent is not
functioning. Please send it as soon as possible.
You did not send any manual or documentation with it too. Since
there was some sticker on the drive and I am knowledgeable about
hardware and software I can live without manual if you don't
have one.

I too got the CDR-260. I am regretting this very very much, S&H was $19
and by that time I could got bran new one with warranty for $20 more
locally. I called NEC's BBS to discover that they will not support
it and must get the driver from Gateway or Dell. I was warning
people about compatibility problem and Gateway's policy two weeks
ago and end up with their drive. I will try to get it from their BBS.
If you find drivers for DOS and/or Warp, please let me know and
I will too. If you can leave address here I can send you 3" floppy
when I find the drivers, please do the same.

RM>I Saw a Prototype Quad Speed by mitsumi
EIDE interface, somewhat faster (in my experiance) than the TEAC and WILL

Nope - 8-bit interface is PLENTY fast enough to handle a Double Spin CD-

DD>like from $469 to around $270. Is this normal, or did PC Mag or some
DD>other Computer magazine give it a death review?
It's called competition - when the TEAC first showed up, it and two or
three SCSI drives by NEC and Plexor and the like were the ONLY 4x single-disc
drives on the market. Currently there are more like 10 or 15 4x single-disc
drives out there, mostly EIDE or SCSI though I think I've seen another
Panasonic-interface 4x show up recently.
For MY money, I prefer the Mitsumi 4X EIDE over the TEAC - tossup on speed
overall or slight advantage to the Mitsumi, and I like the construction a
LOT better - the Mitsumi just seems to be a much more "solid" unit.

-> --- Maximus 2.02
-> * Origin: The RedPoint BBS, Vancouver, BC * 604-264-0989 * (1:153/70
First off, the CD-ROM that you are going to connect MUST be a
Panasonic/Matsushita drive (or at least use the 40-pin Panasonic
interface). Creative Labs will only give you help via their tech
support line at (405) 742-6622 if the drive is a CR-563 (made by
Matsushita for Creative Labs). Although the interface is 40-pin, it is
NOT and IDE interface as some people assume.
If your drive does use a Panasonic-type interface (i.e. CR-562B or Teac
4X) then you simply connect the drive to the card using the supplied
40-pin cable (making sure to align the red stripe on the cable with pin
#1 on both the CD-ROM and the sound card), supply power to the CD-ROM,
install the appropriate CD-ROM driver (for instance SBCD.SYS which is
for the CD-563), and install Microsoft's MSCDEX which is the MS-DOS
CD-ROM extension that allows MS-DOS to recognize CD-ROM drives. The
best thing to do is to contact the CD-ROM drive manufacturer and ask: 1)
will your CD-ROM drive use the Sound Blaster Pro as an interface card?
2) what driver(s) will I need and where can I get them? 3) how do I
install these drivers once I get them (i.e. what are the command line
parameters for the driver? Once you get this information, you'll be
ready to fly!

Well, I bought it and i couldn't get it to run. I needed 3,700 bytes of
XMS free and I could only free 3,631!!! Geez, talk about close. I tried
configuration after configuration. I even tried the MAKE BOOT DISK
feature which didn't free up anoueh memory. I worked on it all day to no
avail. I just couldn't get it to run. I tried playing the AVI files
seperately in Media Player and they worked perfectly. I took it back and
I got my money back, I'm currently looking for a good game that will run
great on my computer. The 7th Guest works great and so does MYST.

Never said anything about using my header, but you had an advertisement for

We can talk about music, specially Gregorian chant, which is my hobby

I can also discuss about other arts, but only as an admirer .
We could write in Portuguese if you prefer.

I don't really care for this problem, just that it comes up occasionally

up. Not really a problem, but I am too impatient to wait the 5

Are there any such sections dealing with cd-roms in the single user

who has used it said it crashed his system too often.
There are suggestions that it will provide faster performance, then
there are others that say it's not worthwhile to upgrade. What do you
think?
Maybe some info about my system will help...
486dx33 ISA 128k cache
8MB RAM
IDE HD's
slow video card
What would be the best way to go about installing a complete version of
WFWG and run the system the way I'm now?
BTW, PC Tools 1.0 is installed, although not using recently, but will
bring it back up, and a 8mb virtual memory is running for windows.
Will PC Tools cause a problem when upgrading?
Thanks for your help.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Without a doubt there are some versions of KQ7 that are "BUGGY" and if
you have the above combination you will probably run into troubles as I
did. The only playable work around I discovered was to effectively
substitute SB Pro drivers for the SB16 and it allowed me to complete the
game. Further investigation revealed that on installing SB16UP led to
an automatic selection of SB16 ext FM and with this you will loose sound
in Chapter 5 and lock up in Chapter 6. Found by selecting SB16 All FM
and using Voyetra Sapi FM on all 16 channels of midimapper, Chapter 5
played flawlessly and up until the troll king is revived with the flower
so did Chapter 6. I actually did get through to the end in this mode
but the animation was gruesomely SLOW. Understand newer versions are
being shipped with a patch floppy included and that maybe a "new and
improved" CD will eventually be made available. My last 3 adventures
from Sierra have all been 'BUGGY' and at least they are consistent,
consistently BAD and from my experience their customer service does not
exist as my 9 November letter has not been answered and my 3 faxes sent
in early January have also been ignored.

Doug, as far as I know there has been no change to the rules since you were

The ten line limit still holds.
However it does appear that we may be now in a moderatorless echo. The rules

Thanks to the people who gave me some advice about how to get volume control

disappeared quickly and I did not record your names.
Acting on what was suggested, I looked in the disk which came with the Mozart
sound card (SB clone) and found a Win mixer program. I now run CDPLAYER and the
Mozart mixer as 2 minimised icons to provide CD controls and audio volume
respectively - works fine. One program which did all the audio CD playing
functions would have been nice, but I can live with two programs.
Thanks again for the advice, whoever you are.

The Pioneer DRM series of CD-ROM drives are excellent for BBS use. They
basically give you a New Drive Letter for each disc; eg: you might have drives
E:, F:, G:, H:, I:, J: once the unit is installed.
As far as running the single IDE unit, I don't see why you couldn't, the only

Hello All!
Here is an updated info on the GIF
From: dunham@mpd.tandem.com (Jerry Dunham)
Read the following if you have concern over the Compuserve/UNISYS issue of
GIF... All is well again...
UNISYS
January 6, 1995
Unisys Clarifies Policy Regarding Patent Use in On-Line Service Offerings
The concerns, inquiries and some apparent confusion that have resulted from
the December CompuServe advisory clearly indicate that we need to clarify our
policy concerning the use of the Unisys Lev Zempel Welch (LZW) patent by
software developers for the major on-line services.
We want to reiterate earlier communications that the issue of patent licenses
is not focused on the end users of on-line networks, including the Internet.
We encourage end users to continue to take full advantage of the outstanding
benefits of a rapidly growing on-line community.
Unisys was awarded the patent in 1985. We became aware of the increasing
interest in our LZW patent beginning in 1990 when many companies approached
us to license the patent for their hardware and software products. The
growth in the use of compression technology was mushrooming in order to meet
the demands for transmitting increased amounts of data. To date, more than
100 companies, including hardware, software and on-line information services,
have licensed the Unisys LZW technology.
Two years ago, Unisys learned that the LZW method was incorporated in the GIF
specification and immediately began negotiations with CompuServe in January of
1993. We reached agreement with CompuServe on licensing the technology in
June 1994, which calls for CompuServe to pay Unisys a royalty of 1% of the
average selling price it charges for its software. This represents
approximately 11 cents for each copy sold and connected to its information
service.
Under the agreement, CompuServe, at its discretion, could relicense the LZW
technology to commercial developers using the GIF specification in software
that connected directly to the CompuServe information service.
With the agreement completed on June 21, 1994, CompuServe was given six months
to implement the terms of its license. CompuServe later asked for a one-
month extension, which we granted.
Unisys did not require CompuServe to pass on any fee to its sublicensees or
end users. Such a decision, and the content and timing of CompuServe+s
advisory, was at their discretion.
Consistent with the entire information industry+s desire to protect
intellectual property, Unisys will expect all of the major commercial on-
line information services companies employing the LZW patent to license the
technology from Unisys at a reasonable rate. The on-line service companies
are not required to sublicense the technology to developers producing
software for the commercial on-line services. It will be, as it is today, at
the on-line service+s discretion as to whether it charges a license fee to
developers or chooses an alternative method to account for its licensing fees
payable to Unisys.
We recognize and are concerned -- thanks in large part to the recent and very
active use of the on-line network -- that developers did not understand that
the patented technology was resident in GIF. Taking that into account, Unisys
does not intend to pursue previous inadvertent infringement by versions of
GIF-based software products marketed prior to 1995.
Concerning all future software product development and enhancement of existing
products for accessing on-line services, Unisys expects developers of
commercial, for-profit software to secure a license from Unisys, or through
the licensed on-line service, for the use of the patented technology. The
very reasonable terms should prove no financial barrier to the introduction of
product into the on-line network.
Unisys does not require licensing, or fees to be paid, for non-commercial,
non-profit GIF-based applications, including those for use on the on-line
services.
Concerning developers of software for the Internet network, the same principle
applies. Unisys will not pursue previous inadvertent
infringement by developers producing versions of software products for the
Internet prior to 1995. The company does not require licensing, or fees to be
paid for non-commercial, non-profit offerings on the Internet, including
+Freeware+.
Commercial developers of GIF-based software for the Internet are expected to
secure a licensing agreement with Unisys for software products introduced
beginning in 1995, or enhancements of products that were introduced prior to
1995. Again, terms should not preclude the entry by these firms into the
marketplace.
For organizations introducing World Wide Web servers and +Home Page+
offerings, most will not be required to secure a license from Unisys. Most
organizations acquire software from other developers to create their
offerings on their servers. Therefore, only the software firms who sell the
enabling software for profit would be expected to secure a licensing agreement
from Unisys.
Unisys understands that this issue has caused concern. We want to reassure
all users and developers that we are strong proponents of the on-line
industry.
We+re proud that this important Unisys technology has played a role in the
introduction of innovative products and services, many of which are fueling
the explosive growth of the information superhighway.
As members of the information community we want to strike the appropriate
balance between information access and the rights of all information
companies, including the developers of software, to protect their
intellectual property rights.

The game requires 8Mb of RAM and a Pentium is no luxury!
I've tried it on my DX-2 66MHz with S3 VLB Card and it works good on some parts
but others require just too much processor time...
The films are great, even in super VGA but the game can better be played in VGA
if you only have a 486.
Requires a 486 DX 50MHz min. to run with at least 8Mb of free! RAM...
Hope this helps,...

I'm interested in picking up the Cd game "MYST" but I have a Mitsumi (2X) cd
drive and I've heard that there's some glitch thta slows the game down.
Apparently MYST has a new version out (Ver 1.3 ??) that corrects this problem.
Can anybody shed any light on this -- or should I say help clear the 'myst'
away (sorry, couldn't resist !)
Best, Glen.

All I've ever heard of is something that's already been out for awhile but
hasn't really caught on yet...floptical disks. They are about the size of
3 1/2 inch disks and are writable, but they don't hold that much info yet.
I think they may be somewhere in the 100-200 Meg range(not real
sure)...still less than a normal CD-Rom.
Hey, no matter what you buy it will be out of date in a year or two. If
this guy keeps waiting for the next best thing to arrive, he'll always be

Hello,
windows Uses a PIF (Program Infomation File) For The MS-Dos Promt in your
Main Group. this File Can Be Edited Using PIF Editor also in the Main Group.
the PIF controls Stuff Like How Much Base and extended Memory is reseved for
the application or if it'r run in a windows or full screen etc.
Reinstalling windows over the top of your exsiting windows will not
change your "ini" files. The only things that are updated are 386 enhanced
files (.386) the Files with the extension of .3gr Known as " " Grabber "
Files, the executables and a few others. every thig will Remain the same. All
your fancy Icons, bmps, etc will remain just like you had them.
Later,
Rick

Your card might have internal bus that is 64bit, but even 100mhz Pentium
have 32-bit PCI bus. I doubt 64 bit PCI bus version of video card will
be available for a while. So far, VLB has about same speed as PCI. In
fact, 40mhz and 50mhz VLB is faster since PCI is limited to 33mhz, there
are some compatibility problems to deal with at these speed.

There are no dumb questions, just dumb answers. :) A SCSI CD will work

Don't worry, go for a SCSI drive.

Not true. SCSI CD-ROM drives do need a sound card or an interface
card, and many of them are internal. :)

They exist, but they only hold about 200 Megs of data at most.
SOME current drives will handle that format already - my Mitsumi Quad is
one example, has the setup for that smaller size disc already in the tray.
AD>... Yeah, he's jealous. He was just trying to make you look bad. Don't
worry,
AD>regular CD-ROM drives will be around for a while.
Yup - though I CAN see the eventual "Blue Light" drives killing the
current format in a decade or so.

He's less than 100% correct at best (current drives will NOT become
obsolete in '95 and are likely to be still viable in 2005), and also
several CURRENT drive models support the smaller (and VERY uncommon) disc
size already.
The Mitsumi Quad Spin EDIE drive (and I believe their Double Spin EIDE
model as well) is one CURRENT example of such a drive.

JR> Category: CD-ROM Shareware Collection
Have just tuned into your reviews. Great!
Without stepping on anyone's toes, are there any material
differences among the major shareware CDs for BBS use?
In particular, am interested in number of directories - which
ones tend to have more disrimination (more dir categories) and
which have fewer (more collective)? There are pros and cons to
number of dirs. Since I'm bringing in nearly a full filebone
feed, I'm finding that combining into fewer dirs ultimately makes
things easier for the BBS user.
Which tend to be more carefully (correctly) cataloged? They
certainly don't come off the filebone well cataloged.

Tried to FREQ your CD list. What kind of modem you using? Tried
several times to connect with 3407/101 and got no connect. Using
a 28k vfc here at 387/404. Have heard a lot of weird tones
attempting to connect with numerous modems, but with yours,
eventually just get a steady state tone. Haven't run into that

I didn't mean for you to add that line, it was just what I did with my
SVGA Card, VGA cards well not work.
I also am running AMD 386/40Mhz, with SVGA 1Meg Diamond Stealth Vram,
rather then the OAK. However, I run MS DOS 6.22 as my operating system.
This means that EMM386 is in my CONFIG.SYS along with DOS=High,UMB
I do not use any .BIN files, or RAM Speed up Programs. Emm386 supports
the AMD 386/40Mhz with a UMC tech Chip Set Very Nicely. Perhaps you
would consider either upgrading to DOS 6.0 or greater, even a third
party memory manager. QEMM, 386max, NetRoom, or even OS/2 take a pick.
I am confident this well resolve your memory challenges! Good Luck !

Sorry to butt in here, but, I have recently installed Warp (only about

flawlessly every time. But, anyway, the Toshiba is a good drive in my

I have seen some of the more recent releases of sound cards that have an

Again, not necessarily. For SCSI work is just like the IDE, it needs
either a SCSI controller card OR the SCSI controller built in to the
sound card. And, NO, it's not necessarily external
Hope that this clears up any confusion that there may be, If you have
any more questions you can email me.

The Pioneer ships with two drivers. One supports the Future Domain
controllers directly, so you only need to load one driver.
The other supports any ASPI compliant controller (which includes most
modern controllers). Here, you need to load the ASPI manager driver
which comes with the SCSI controller plus the ASPI driver that comes
with the Pioneer.
Hope this helps!

Well, I have managed to get back up to 560K-however-nothing I do will
give me any more. Any changes at this point only result in memory loss.
As far as Dos version, I have PCDos 6.3 which is about the latest
out-may try a third party mem manager at a later date if I have any
problems. At this point everything loads and runs ok so I guess I
shouldn't complain.
Thanks,
Dave
