Hello,
Have You ever Tried an SB16 MCD with QEMM Using Steath mode on a
Micron P90 with 32mb ram ? And I've Seen MPC Wizard 3.0 not be able to
execute the Access time Test With Some Controllers. Or The Pro Audio
Spectrum and anything...:')

It's True, with e Two harddrives You Need a Second Controller That Can Be

Exscuse me for butting in but I think Steve was suggesting that QEMM be
used *instead* of "Ramboost". QEMM also replaces the MS-DOS manager
EMM386 hence his suggestion.

Is there a movie CDROM that is like Cimemania but with no or

I would also prefer one with more of an emphasis on newer movies
and less on movies made before 1960.
Is there a CDROM like Cinemania about TV series and actors?
Thank you in advance for all replies.

Can someone tell me what type of video drv I need? Problem is, from my CDROM I

movies on a set of CDs in the "Multimedia Starter Pak by ARIS" which contain
MPC Wizard Utility & Worldview (slides/movies). Between Windows 3.1 drvs &
Trident drvs I have tried 600x480 to 1024xXXX & 16, 256, 32K(or whatever the
number for high resolution). I have even downloaded Trident's latest drvs but
had no success there. My system is as follows:
Panasonic CDROM 2x
SoundBlaster 16 board
486/33 CPU, 8megs RAM, plenty of HD storage space
VGA monitor
TRIDENT TVGA8900C Video board with 1meg memory
If someone could tell me what's needed, I would appreciate it very much.
The Trident also has a VESA Drv & BIOS but I don't understand if or why I would
need it. What's VESA?
Thanks,

Well the new card from Cretive Labs is not a new Sound Blaster but a separate
card it connects only the 563-b Creative Labs CD-Rom and uses the feature
connector of your VGA card.
The software turns under windows and it is said that it works even faster than
on a nrmal 3DO console.
Your soundcard is used for the sound effects so you wont have to sell it to
enjoy 3DO on PC!
I also know they are going to sell it in 3 kits:
The 3DO blaster alone.
3DO blaster + Creative labs 563B CD-ROM.
And the conplete kit CD-ROM, 3DO Blaster and Sound Card.

Hi Rene!,
Sorry too.. but I'm not keeping replies longer than 2 days by cuestion

Yeap it works, but a little bit slower than using a CD-i machine, but
if you have a 64bit video board it should be any problem at all.
Also you could as in other computers stores about this stuff, I hear
it first at the ElectronicBoutique, so I confirmed what I heard in other
places, and then I bought my first video CD to confirm what they said
and it worked, so I kept buying them now.
Oh!.. one thing, make sure the place where you gonna buy the Video CD
from have client sastifaction warranty, so if you don't like it...oops I
mean if "it doesn't works"..<g>.. you could have your money back.

Dave,
I don't know what MALLOC is. But I run DOOM I on my 386DX-40 with
four megs of RAM.
I have to bypass the boot-up (hitting F5, or shift-left, or F8) in
order to get enought RAM memory. (but your eight megs should be
enough)
I don't believe it is your RAM memory space. It must be something else.
There is a DOOM echo on Fidonet. You might attempt to find it.
I receive it from either of these two BBS's.
Aircrash 312-327-0226
Chicago 708-680-9420 or 9440
If there is any DOOM question, someone in the DOOM echo can help you
out.
If you can't call them, leave me a message here, and I will ask your
question in there, and let you know what the answer is.
There isn't any reason why you can't run DOOM I with that machine.
I have been downloading from the DOOM echo for a year now and I have
never heard of your problem before.
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

Is the Mitsumi FX001D a good drive for someone on a budget? I need it

Hello, Mark Lai

Well Mark, I run Terminate under WFWG with out a glitch. You must use the
pif when you install the program and look at the docs in the terminat\windows
directory which should give you a bit of help.Also the CDPLAYER in
Terminate will not run under Windows but everything else should run
fine. I take it that when you upload, you use the filemanager in
terminate to tag the file(s) on your CDrom, and that is where you get
the delay and the error message????? Maybe a configuration problem in
terminate on the location of the CDrom.

To each his own,which ever works for ya. Take a chance you may learn

Just install WFWG upgrade just as you did Windows it upgrades all files

video and other hardware,software.

Try reducing your Swap file to 6mb or even lower but not below 3mb.
I say 6mb as that is what I have. I have heard many different things on
the size of the swap file that it would make you head spin, to much is
redundant and to small is not worth installing. Fact is that to large
takes up to much HD space and I don't like to give up 6mb but it seems
to let my WFWG run just fine.
ML> Will PC Tools cause a problem when upgrading?
To the best of my knowledge NO!

Hey William,
The problem may be your CD-ROM drive. Although you may be happy with
the Panasonic drive, I've had alot of personal experience with the drive
and found that it isn't always 100% compatable with all software.
Perhaps upgrading to a 4X CD-ROM like the Teac or the Toshiba 3501B is
the answer.

Lemme know how you fare on installing the NEC. I purchased one from him and

Kevin, listen to Ken. Myst is one of those games that after you beat it
once it sits on your shelf and collects dust.
The graphics, storyline, and ending are great, but the game itself is
hard to start up, and getting into the game takes a while. My
suggestion would be to rent the game (In Portland, we have a place
called Software Pipeline) and try to beat it. If you can't beat it or
get stuck, then call up a local BBS and download the file called
MYSTWALK.TXT. You'll probably find the file on one of the latest
shareware cd's.
Failing that, occasionally you will find people in this echo that are
trading or selling games like MYST. If you do buy the game, but it OEM,
you don't need any of the documents that come with the game. If you
have anymore questions, let me know. L8r...

Not true. A 563 (aka Creative) driver will not work with a 562. In
reference to his question about running a 562/563 with Warp, the Panasonic
driver in Warp will do it as the driver was not coded to check the id
in the firmware of the drive.

Very little. The 563 is Creatives drive, and the 562 is Panasonics,
and a few other OEM. Beware the CReative software driver will choke
on the 562 since the Creative driver looks to the firmware on the
drive for the id of 563. A 562 driver will work with both.

Are you SURE this is a BBS ready (files.bbs descriptions) ISO format disk with
the files compressed and in MacBinary format?
Last I saw in a review, this was a Mac HFS format CD with uncompressed files,
which is totally useless for a DOS based BBS. Not to mention it was most
heniously out of date.
As far as I know, the *only* ISO BBS ready fully Mac shareware CD-ROM is the
AMUG BBS-in-a-Box.

That depends. The game changes each time. Here are some general hints tho.
1) You should use the same config that you used in the map room(scale model
of atlantis).
2) in the air lock the lost dialogue Plato says: "Final entrance was
granted only to contrary minds." That means in the air lock one you have
to used the configuration laid out, but flipped 180 degrees.
Hope this helps.

Subj: ESDI and EIDE Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Brice,
Nice to see someone who knows about ESDI!
I need to find out how to run both ESDI and EIDE (or IDE) on the same machine.
I realize the two normally conflict but was wondering if there is any way to
overcome this barrier. I want to add a CD-Rom drive and would prefer to go the
EIDE route if possible so to avoid paying the premium for SCSI. The Mitsumi
quad sounds really interesting.
I have a 1990 vintage Zenith 386DX33 eisa with a mean looking eisa ESDI cache
controller card (piggy-backs two daughter boards). Appears to be made by DTC
but can't tell for sure. The Zenith documentation leaves much to be desired.
Supports 2 HD and 4 floppies I think.
Are there special EIDE controllers that can work around ESDI? Will proprietary
controller cards bundled with some of the CD-Rom drives work? What about the
IDE ports built into some of the sound cards?
Any advice would be much appreciated...

KN> I just received NEC 2x CD 260 IDE without documentation or

From you previous message in this echo, I know you ordered one of
the "pulls" from Boris. They were clearly advertised as BARE drives.
This is widely used and accepted terminology to indicate that only
the drive itself will be provided. No DOC's, cables, mounting screws
or software. Also, a "pull" is not a new drive. The term "pull"
means that the drive was installed in a computer for an unknown
period, then removed.
When I spoke with Boris and ordered a Mitsumi, he went out of his
way to explain exactly what I would and/or would not get if I
ordered a bare drive or a complete unit for $20 more. Did you use
his toll-free number to order and, if so, did you ask what would
come with a bare drive? In neither case are DOC's available (used
pull, remember?).
KN> Does anybody have or know where to get drivers for DOS and
KN> WARP?
I don't have the number you need in front of me, but I'm sure NEC
runs a BBS where you can call and download the latest drivers for
your drive. At least, Mitsumi does. Someone lurking here will cough
up the NEC BBS number, I'm sure.
Anyway, sorry if you thought you'd get a complete retail package for
$59, but you did get a bargain nonetheless. Scrounging for drivers,
etc. is something we bargain hunters have to get used to (G).
BTW, I am not affiliated with Boris or his company in any way,
except as a customer. My experience indicates he is refreshingly
honest in comparison to many of his competitors.

his toll-free number to order and, if so, did you ask what would
come with a bare drive? In neither case are DOC's available (used
pull, remember?).

I don't have the number you need in front of me, but I'm sure NEC
runs a BBS where you can call and download the latest drivers for
your drive. At least, Mitsumi does. Someone lurking here will cough
up the NEC BBS number, I'm sure.
Anyway, sorry if you thought you'd get a complete retail package for
$59, but you did get a bargain nonetheless. Scrounging for drivers,
etc. is something we bargain hunters have to get used to (G).
BTW, I am not affiliated with Boris or his company in any way,
except as a customer. My experience indicates he is refreshingly
honest in comparison to many of his competitors.

I think that means that the CD drive hardware is capable of decoding the CD-I

I've narrowed my choices down to either the Plextor internal or the
Toshiba, the Toshiba being less expensive. I haven't checked the Toshiba
out yet but I can tell you the 4Plex comes in two models. The expensive
one is the PX-43CH (internal) and has an access time of 220ms and transfer
rate of 600KB/sec. The cheaper one is the PX-43CS-256 (internal) and has
an access time of 170ms, still transferring 600KB/sec. At first glance it
appears the cheaper drive is a better deal, but the more expensive one,
although the access time is not as good, has a 1MB buffer on it. I was
told by a rep that if my main interest was graphic games and multimedia
(which it is), then I'd be better off with the 1MB buffered model even
though the access time is not as fast. The buffer makes a big difference,
I suppose. The cheaper drive has a 256K buffer. I have heard many speak
highly of these drives. They are SCSI-2 compliant and I plan to run mine
off a Soundblaster 16 with SCSI, if I choose this one over the Toshiba. As
far as I know the Toshiba is a very good drive too. But I don't know if
it uses a caddy or not. Since my desktop case is on its side I need the
caddy kind, and the Plextor is indeed a caddy type. If you want Plextor's
cutsheets on these products, call them at 1-800-475-3986 and they'll
answer questions and send you information.

NEC doesn't support the 260, it's an OEM drive that they sold to GATEWAY and

I'm supprised to see someone asking for Warp drivers for this
drive. A friend of mine just bought the NEC CDR-250 internal IDE
2x drive last week. I know 250 is not 260 but he runs Warp and
it installed the 260 drivers and was running the CDRom 5 minutes
later.
Perhapes your problem is not with drivers at all but with the
hookup between the CDrom and the Computer itself. I'd check
cables and so forth before looking for drivers.
I'm thinking of buying the same CDRom drive. It works great
under Warp using the drivers included with Warp.
Anyone know what the difference between the NEC CDR-250 and the
260 are? Seems odd to me that the 250 will work perfectly using
the 260 drivers and the 260 won't. I can't see that happening.

After exhaustive efforts I also returned KQ7 because of the many BUGS.
Initially ran it with Ext FM slected and had no snags until I reached Chapter

conflict with my PC Tools cache and the KQ7 cache. Finally discovered that by
selecting All FM or Basic FM it would work with backgound music. Sierra did
finally contact me and advised there was a patch file called KQ7PAT.EXE on
their BBS. Since I had played the first 4 Chapters with no background music
started from scratch again and with background music ran into programming
errors in Chpters 1 and 4. Installed the patch files which were for Version
1.51 and found they did not fix the problems so I quit. Have discovered there
are variations of SB16 cards from basic, MCD with or without volume controls,
and SB16 with ASP etc etc. From my experience all I can do is advise the
following:- 1) Select Basic FM 2) No software cache
3) Disable 32 bit access

Subj: SB-16 Discovery ARGGG! Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Okay everyone. I just upgraded my old Sound Blaster 1.5 (mono) to a new
Sound Blaster 16 Discovery Multi-media kit including the CD-ROM.
My question is this: what's the best approach in configuring the sound
card to be used in most games? I have noticed the following: if I boot
my system normal and let the "low-level physical" sound driver load and
all the other drivers and programs, like SB16SET, DIAGNOSE, etc., it
will configure the sound card. If I then immediately boot and hot the
SHIFT key down when "Loading MS-DOS..." message appears and run DOOM, I
get full music and sound FX. But, if I do a cold boot on my PC and
immediately hold the SHIFT key down and run DOOM, the music is usually
faint and I have no sound FX.
So, my question is this: instead of having to load all the sound blaster
drivers prior to running DOOM, possibly within a custom CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT and having the drivers loaded and eating up memory prior to
running DOOM, should I just do a full boot and then reboot to the DOOM
configuration without having the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT load the
sound blaster drivers? It looks like the settings get wiped out off the
card between soft reboots.
If anyone would care to explain what all these drivers do, I'd
appreciate it. The Sound Blaster 16 book doesn't mention the ones with
an asterisk by them.
CONFIG.SYS
==========
* CTSB16.SYS -- (REQUIRES 26K of RAM!)
* CTMMSYS.SYS -- (REQUIRES 10K of RAM!)
SBCD.SYS -- device driver for CD-ROM (REQUIRES 11K of RAM!)
AUTOEXEC.BAT
============
DIAGNOSE.EXE -- sets hardware configuration based on BLASTER
environment variable. (LOADS AND EXITS!)
SB16SET.EXE -- Used set the voice, master, CD-audio, and MIDI music
settings either interactively or passively via the
STMIX.CFG file. (LOADS AND EXITS!)
MSCDEX.EXE -- Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions program (REQUIRES 45K of
RAM!)
After I get my normal boot down, with DOSKEY, MOUSE, SMARTDRV, PRINT,
and RAMDRIVE loaded, and for a full boot to use all the multi-media
capabilities, I usually have only 516K (was 494K before I optimized my
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT after installing the CD-ROM.)
Just the bar minimum when playing DOOM, if I load the Sound Blaster
software to set the board up and leave it resident before playing DOOM
requires:
26K CTSB16.SYS
10K CTMMSYS.SYS
and then having to run:
DIAGNOSE and SB16SET to set the settings. The two device drivers above
must be loaded prior to using DIAGNOSE and SB16SET otherwise they say a
low-level driver is missing.

Did you stand there and watch the space ship land and then all the alien guys
or "Sequel Police" get out? You gotta watch that and then exit the manhole,
thus enabling you to sneak over and enter the ship through the landing bay.
Unless you forgot to do something, like getting the slime, watching the
hologram message, getting the bunny, and getting the laptop. IF you've tried
all that, I am not sure I can answer your question since I am answering out of
memory (I haven't played the game in years).

Hello Kevin!
KN>> What is the difference between a SCSI CD-rom and a IDE cd-rom?
For a SCSI CD-rom you'll need a SCSI controller card.
Some (NEC) SCSI CD-roms do have one included, but that is only for the CD-rom.
On other SCSI cards like, Adaptec 1542 -> and Trantor you can also connect an
SCSI H.Disk, even 7 on the time. That means that you can use 7 HD's and 1
CD-rom on one controller at the same time. (ore 7 cd-roms and 1 HD :-))
The IDE DC-roms are connected to your Multi I/O card, and you'll need an
Enhanged Multi I/O card for this. Otherwise you can't use more devices.
The SCSI CD-rom are the fastest, but the IDE CD-roms are the cheapest.

The difference is 8, 16 or 32 channels. It's like the difference
between mono and stereo. The more channels you have, the more and the
better the sounds. 32 bit is definitely the best, 8 not so hot. I use
a 16 bit and the sound is good enough for me. I'm not an expert but I
don't want a tinny sound or lack of background music or instruments
either. So, if you have to make a choice I would say 16 or 32.

Can you tell me what CD you are using that is grainy? It depends on the

an animation, or video. Oh, and don't use all caps. It's considered

My main question concerns hooking it to my sound(blaster compatable) card. The
card has 3 different ribbon connection points and 3 different sound cable(small
3 wire) for 3 different brands of CDRom drives. If I get a 2nd drive of a
different brand than the 1st, will hooking it up to the card (to a different

After repeated tape errors I called CMS's tech. support. I was told by 2

Help, Help, Help!!! I have a 386Dx40 computer with 4 Meg Ram, a 2x

purchased the Comptons Interactive Encyclopedia '95. I installed it and
ran it with no problems. Then I went to print an article and the screen
said printing 1 of 26, 5 of 26 etc. Then the printer started spitting
out paper with no print. I tried to highlight sections of the article
and tried printing, but the same thing happened, all paper and no print.
I am desperate for some of the articles, but it is not doing me any good
because I can't print them. I need HELP!!! Thanks.

Toshiba 3501B, perhaps? Just installed mine yesterday. The music
apps provided by Adaptec (with Soundblaster) work fine in DOS but
not in Windows....I installed the product twice just in case
something screwy happened, but Windows refuses to see a disk in
the drive (for sound - data works perfectly.)
Anyone have any thoughts about this?

The CD cleaners for music cd's should work for computers BUT there are
(or were) good and bad ones.When I had my audio repair shop in '88 (for
5+ years) I saw some pickups (Panasonic and others) inside the cd
players that were manufactured as a press/snap fit assembly and they
got knocked apart by lens cleaners! Also, I saw cleaners jam inside of
changer models (non-Pioneer types). I hope that the current cleaners are
safe. I would suggest talking to an electronics repair technician that
works on cd players currently for his/her advice on a "safe" model. I
would ask at a high-end stereo store for a technicians name and/or
location (not a chain store).I only disasssemble and clean my drive by
hand; but, I think that that would be even more dangerous for the
average person than taking a chance on a cleaner.Hope this helps.

The IN-2000 should handle all SCSi devices by itself. Set a space between
CD-Rom & Hard drive I.E. 0 for the hard drive, 2 for the first cdrom & 3 for
the second. Maybe you have an address or IRQ conflicting, also check the
BIOS type on the always IN-2000. You did not say what model of cdrom drives
you have.
Always is good on their tech support, have called them several times. Their
number is 818-597-1400
You can use both SCSI controllers at the same time if you like, but like I
said, most likely whats happening is an address & or iRQ conflict. Always
default settings are 220H, same as sound cards, change the always address
(do not use 110h)

Because, according to the echo rules, "occasional" ads are allowed,
if 10 lines or shorter. Although they're more than "occasional", our
moderator seldom chastises the culprits publicly. He uses NetMail,
because the reproval would also be off-topic for the echo.

I finally got through to the Aztech BBS (510-623-8933) and d/l everything I
could find concering OS/2 and tried every combination. I still do not recomend

Ok Glen,
I got Myst 1.0.2 for Christmas and also have a Mitsumi 2X. I run
windows with 4 megs of ram, but haven't run into any problems. Get Myst
at any cosy (no more than $49). I have yet to hear of 1.3. I have beat
3 of the 4 ages without a problem. Go for it, but don't get any help!
I have yet to get help and the feeling of beating it without help is
worth the frustration.

I believe Myst to be a much better game. Myst is faster and does not
require the video panning that The 7th Guest does. T7G is also satanic
where as you could play Myst with a 4 yr old. Also, in Myst, everyone
is equal. There isn't a puzzle that doesn't have a solution somewhere
on the island. It's tricky, but a lot of fun. Myst is also super
realistic. I find myself scared at times, then realize I am still at
home. Sounds corny, but Myst gets my vote.

Hello All, If you are considering the purchase of Corridor7
by Capstone Software for its modem playing ability then think again.
The modem routine is garbage. Modem inits take forever and when and if
you finally get a dialtone and a connection the modem version does not
even come close to Doom's. You are head to head with your modem buddy
and that's it...(if you can find him)no other characters are in play.
The software designers of this one need a few modem programming lessons
from the Doom people. The game otherwise is pretty good, just don't buy
it like we did for it's modem selling feature.

The cd player in Terminate doesn't work for me at all, even in DOS. But
I listen from my stereo anyway. The problem I am having is when I get TE
to upload, it goes to the files screen (file manager?) and attempts to
access the cd-rom drive (I think it access all the drives, except the
floppies), and this will *often* result in the cd-rom not ready error.
I only ran into this problem once in Terminate, so I can't completely
remember every detail, but the REAL problem is accessing the cd-rom
drive in a DOS window, regardless of whatever program might be running.

I think every system has various sizes of swap file that works best for

King's Quest 7 has more physical memory to work with; quite a pain for a

Yes, you can call Gateway 2000's BBS and download the diskettes (I
believe they are the 1.44's data in .zip'ed form).
There is a toll free number as well as a long-distance number. The toll
free number may or may not have it available (I think gateway forgot to
setup a couple of the file areas on the tollfree line).. anyways, they
are:
(800) 846-7562

I've been running it just great under OS/2 Warp for about two months
now.. it's running flawlessly. Of course, since the CD260 model was
released before they finished the IDE-based CDROM specifications, there
are a couple additions to the BASEDEV= CDROM driver line in the
config.sys. The lines you need are:
IFS=e:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS /m:16 ; m:16 is an optional higher
; buffer that I use...
BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:0 /U:1 /ATAPI ; /a:x is the controller number
; ie. if you have two ide
; controllers built into the
; motherboard (as gateway 2000
; systems are w/PCI).
BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT ; self explanatory
DEVICE=e:\OS2\BOOT\OS2CDROM.DMD /C:4 ; needed for any cdrom
DEVICE=e:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS ; needed so DOS sessions can
; access the drive..
Hope it helps!

came in the kit, but I cannot find mention of the interface anywhere in the
documentation that came with the kit. If anyone can provide me with
information on how to connect a 4X cdrom to the SB16 card that came in this
kit, please do. Hell, I don't even know if this thing is running on a SCSI
interface or not! Thanks in advance,

Cought this message a little late. I'm running the SB Discovery CD16 kit here,
(2x CD on the SB16 card). I got this game (KQ7), and have been unable to get
it to run satisfactorily. I get all the sound (extended midi), BUT this thing
is SLOW! The box recommends a 486 with 8MB Ram for "Premium Performance", but
in the opening of chapter 1 the stupid jackoloper thing literally STOPS 3 times
on it's way across the screen. My system is a 486-66/2 with 16 Meg of RAM, so
this bugs me. The other thing that bugs me is that this game requires the use
of virtual memory, even though I have 16 MB! I never needed VRAM in windoze
before, as 16 was plenty of space for AmiPro. Now this stupid thing comes
along, installs win32s.exe, and says that win32s.exe won't run without VRAM.
I'd say that this is a bit unrealistic considering that the "Minimum" config is
a 386 with 4MB! Anyways, I missed your help, as I cought this in a reply.
Would your help fix my problems? I'm a bit upset that the demos that came on
the disk run better than the game I spent money for! Thanks in advance,

Brice I happened to notice your settings fro the SB16 and wondered why
you are not either using MIXERSET in DOS or the Mixer Control icon in
WINDOWS as both set a midimap.cfg. Also wondered about your actual
settings as I use 255 for all execept VOC which I have set at 190 and my
treble and bass are both set at 130. Found this gave me the best
overall sound and balance although some products like Groliers requires
almost max volume from my speakers pot. Have found some of my old
software that will not run on the SB16 or run poorly and I would have to
say the SB Pro is the true standard right now and hopefully it will
shift to the SB16 in time.

Sorry, but you are mistaken when you say a 4x CD-ROM drive is limited to
540mb disks. I have 5 that are higher than that. Wing Commander III for
one. 4 CD's all higher than 540. Then I have the Turbo Tax Multimedia
which is 620mb. All report to that size. Try perhaps a different menuing
system for your CD's. Xtree Gold 2.0 works fine for me.
All I can see is the prorgram you have is faulty or not suited to CD's.
I have the Mitsumi 4x CD-ROM drive running off of my IDE controller in
conjunction with my Western Digital WD2340 IDE Hard Drive. The only
problem I have is on the 32-bit Disk Access for Windows. Windows tried
to access it as a Hard Drive and becomes unstable. Sometimes a disk
won't catch at first I'll have to re-open and close the drive. But I've
only had that problem on Comanche CD and Wing Commander I&II CD. Both
are just over 20megs in size each.

Yes, but the /X parameter is useful only on the .SYS file. The MSCDEX
uses the /E and neither is compatible. The only uses EMS the other XMS.
Pretty stupid.
Also, the recommended settings are /M:10 for MSCDEX and /M:20 for the
MTMCDAE or whatever .SYS. The Single was MTMCDS or MTMCDE.sys and the
quad is MTMCDAI.SYS. It happens to be my favorite at 8.5k of memory. :)

Absolutely not! If there was no drivers available, it would been
like ordering 4 1 meg SIMM and someone sending you 5 1 meg SIMM
saying you can replace bad chips by using chips from extra one.
More realistic example might be like buying portable PC that don't
have any more battery available and ones on it last only 5 minutes.

Glad you had different experience than I. I think $19 shipping/handling
for 1lbs. was unfairly high too. If I was warned before hand about these
facts, I would not have gotten it. Computer City have sold brand new 2x
IDE CD with warranty for $99 locally. I will never deal with BBS business
that couldn't give exact charge.
CD is working now, I wasted more than enough time on this subject.

Install this line in your autoexec.bat after the line that loads your
cdrom. It must see your cdrom drv so it may cache it.
C:\Windows\Smartdrv.exe /X C+ D 1024 512
assuming that your Cdrom is drive D.
Or you can type smartdrv help at the Command prompt to see a list of

It is a great game, but you have to have patience. I have been playing the
game since this past June off and on. You have to put certain puzzles
together, but observing and gathering information. The graphics are just like
cartoon animation. You can also choose if you want to have a lot of fist
fights, which you can control, or be more talkative. I would recommend this
game. I think I will buy the hint book to make the game go faster.
Another great game is CYBERIA. It has the best sound, animation and graphics
that I have seen for a PC.

Make sure of the following:
1. The NEC devices are not terminated if they are in the middle
of the chain, not respective to the scsi ID #!
2. Make sure if you are using the external port, that the card
is not terminated, and the devices at the ends of the cables are
terminated. In this case, it would be the external device, and
the internal hard drive, or the NEC if it is at the end of the
cable. If the NEC internal is at the end of the cable, make
sure it is terminated, and the Hard drive is not!!!

well here goes:
config.sys
device={drive:\directory}\slcd.sys /d:sony_000 /b:360 /m:d /t:3 /v /c
autoexec.bat
{drive:\directory}\mscdex.exe /d:sony_000 l:g /m:8 /v
do you have the book and the interface card?
I suggest making a directory and copy slcd.sys into it and the mscdex from your
dos directory into it. The /m and /d in the config.sys refer to the dma mode,
you can try deleting those 2 for polling mode.
the /b is the port adress, check that against other cards and that it matches
the jumper setting on the interface card if you have one.
Make sure you have the line lastdrive=f (or one letter past the drive letter
you're using) in your config.sys also.
autoexec
there should be a slash before the l:g (/l:g). this is the letter you assign
your drive as in drive g.
try these suggestions and see, write me back and let me know one way or the
other. If it doesn't tell me more abouy your machine and your autoexec and
config.sys.. L8r Bill

562/563/563b are *CD drives* made by Panasonic-Matsushita (not Reveal) and
drivers *ARE* provided by Warp. You are right on that one. If you have one of
these CD drives, use sbcd2.add from cddrvr.zip (wsbcd2.zip) or from Warp beta,
they work better. The sound card, made by/for Reveal is what will give you

I seriously doubt it, Mitsumi sells and makes a VERY good reputable drive.

Not one bit of trouble yet. And one is about 2 years old on a BBS.

Hi Chris, I'll give you the first cheat sheet. It's kinda of explicit. If
you find a need for the rest, let me know. Enjoy, Rich
This is a bare bones walk through of the start of Myst, and includes informatio
on the Library and Tower. Not all details are covered, but the main points
required for discovering the clues to the Myst books on the island are included
You arrive on the island at the dock. Follow the dock to the end by the switch
go up the stairs and turn left. Follow the path to the stairs at the end.
Turn right and go up the stairs. You will find a note on the grass in front of
the round granite building. The note tells you about a chamber near the dock
and what to do there. You need to know how many marker switches are on the
island. The switch at the end of the dock was a marker switch and they all loo
the same. Explore the island and count the switches, turning them "on" as you
go. You should be able to turn on all but one of the switches. One is located
in a place you cannot get to yet, but you can see it.
Return to the dock and look for a small door near where you first entered Myst.
Clicking on the door will open it. Follow the corridor to a chamber. In the
chamber is a large round device with a button on it. Turn until you are facing
back toward the stairs and notice the small panel to the left of the stairway.
Click on it to move closer. There is a list of settings on the panel, and a
small button in the top left corner. Pressing the button causes the panel to
open, revealing two numbers in windows and two sets of small up and down arrow
buttons. Clicking on the arrow buttons allows you to set the two digit number
in the windows. Set the two digit number to the number of marker switches on th
island, then press the button in the lower right hand corner to close the panel
Go to the large round device and press the button on it. The message will then
play, giving you part of the story.
Exit the chamber the way you entered and make your way to the Library, the
square, granite building next to the round granite building in front of which
you found the note. Inside the library you will find a red book and red page,
blue book and blue page, three paintings, a bookcase and a fireplace. Take the
red page and put it on the red book. Reading the book will give you part of th
story. Do the same with the blue book and blue page. Examine the painting of
the island. There is an outline of the major structures and features of the
island on the painting (if you turned on the marker switches) and a flashing
circle. Click and hold on the flashing circle and a line will begin to rotate
around the circle. The line will turn red and pause at these points: the larg
gears on top of the hill near the dock, the sunken boat's crow's nest, the larg
tree, and the rocket ship. Stop the red line on the large gears. You will hea
the sound of the tower rotating. Go to the painting that shows stairs leading
to a corridor and click on it. The painting will swirl and the bookcase will
open to reveal a secret passage. Follow the secret passage to an elevator and
take the elevator to the tower. In the tower you will find two ladders. One
leads to a narrow window that shows you what you have aimed at. The other,
located behind the elevator, leads to a clue, bolted to the wall, that is neede
to access the Myst book at the location the tower is aimed at.
Return to the library, rotate the tower to the next spot where the line goes re
and pauses, return to the tower through the secret passage, and get the clue fo
this Myst book location. Repeat this process until you have all four clues.
Once you have all the clues and are back in the library, click on the painting
that shows an open doorway. This closes the secret passage and reopens the
library exit. Before leaving, examine all the books in the bookshelf. While
most are burned, some are not. The ones which can be read contain valuable
clues and some actual maps which you will need during the various Ages. One
book contains hundreds of drawings of squares in patterns. Leave this book
alone for the moment. The last item in the library, the fireplace, comes into
play later during the endgame.

I've tried to call him a couple of times and got his stupid answering

I really hope it's just a delay and he's just too busy to give a *&^*. I'm

Bert!
Got my 3501 hooked up to the SB16SCSI-2, too! They sure run nicely,
don't they. I still don't have a good CD-playing program for audio
under OS/2, though I have some good DOS & Windows players. The
adaptec player that comes with the sound card runs pretty well,
though it doesn't seem to like to be in a DOS window on my machine.
Are you running your drive in WINOS2? I like the card, too, because
it doesn't require a separate sound cable, like many cards.
Sound still seems to be a difficult item in Windows under OS/2 for
many people...they say IBM is working on the problem. I downloaded
another supposed fix to the problem yesterday. Maybe it'll work. I
picked up the new SB drivers...they're nice under Windows as long
as Windows isn't managed by OS/2.
The new Toshibas are really fast. Really makes the videos crank and
stay stable.

PK>Has anyone seen the PC/CDROM adaptor card for the 3DO by Creative Labs? Wha
PK>kind of requirements would I need and what's so special about that makes its
PK>price more than the 3DO itself?
PK>Also, what's the difference between SB16 and SB16/MCD ?
The reason for the price diff is that there was a lot of modification to
enable the component to meet FCC Class B specs (this is REQUIRED for
home PC usage, which is the 3DO Blaster's sole market) and such mods
cost money. Also, not many places carry the 3DO Blaster as the original
3DO which has become a loss leader and is now heavily discounted. The
difference between the standard SB 16 (Basic and Value Editions) and the
MCD is in the CD-ROM interfaces supported. The MCD, in addition to
supporting the Creative Labs/Panasonic/Teac CD-ROM interface standard,
also supports Sony and Mitsumi/Procom/BSR/Tandy CD-ROM interface
standards by use of different chips (the connectors are identical,
therefore the difference is elsewhere in the hardware). I own a SB 16
Basic AND a Procom PCD-650M; if the Basic could support the Procom (an
old-model Mitsumi-made single-speed that will work with the MCD) I would
have hooked it up that way and tossed out that junk controller I am
forced to use for it (and freed up a slot in the process).

fail so it says. BTW latest version of MSCDEX is 2.23
ML>> That's what I think too, but just a little lazy to actually do the work.
ML>> Oh well... you verbally forced me into this experimentation now. :)
GO FOR IT!!!! You will do fine.<G>

Yep... cheesy... cheap... call it what you want, but YES that is the way

thing the first time I used it. (Thought it was broken.)
As someone else said though, without a motorized tray, that's just one
less thing to go wrong. But it is kind of annoying having to pull the
tray out manually. Someday when I upgrade my drive, I'll be getting one
that's better than what we're both using.
I've had mine for a couple of months now, and the drive seems to work

I have a Discovery unit also. Don't know what brand drive came with it,

push the button again, it goes all the way back in by itself. If it's
out and I gently bump it with my hand, it also goes back in by itself.

/M:xx sets the number of buffers for temporary storage of the most
recent data. xx ranges from 2 to 30. The drive performance increases
with the value of xx. Each buffer uses about 2K or memory and too many
can cause problems if the program used has a large memory requirement.

I purchased a SB Pro Sound card; however, the controller cable from the ROM
drive isn't the same size as the SB card. Question 2) Can the original Audio
16 sound card be more or less disabled such that it would work as a controller
card between the ROM drive and the new SB card?
BTW, there is a good reason I'm wanting to do this. Any help would be
appreciated.

Can you tell me a little more about this disc? I'm looking for

Does this have the programs themselves, or is it just a "guide" ?

A CD-ROM, just like any other drive, needs a controller card, a special
kind of card that comes with it. Although CD-ROM's do support audio,
not all come with a sound card, but you can receive audio through the
jacks on the drive.

Well, X-mass has come and gone, the same for new years, now to settle down and
wait for Feb's vehicle registration. that will be fun, where am I going to find
$600 to pay for this? I don't know how I'll manage that and the trip to England
in May. My cousin is getting married then, and I wanted to cross for the

The pilot for ST:Voyager was on last night, good points and bad. I guess we'll
have to watch a few to make up our minds about it. Do you watch Star Trek? Once
the Next Generation had settled into the series, I watched regularly, I expect
to do the same with this one.
No other news from Winterpeg, it's been snowing for over a week now, and my
back is killing me from shoveling. We have a thing here called "cabin fever",
and it may be setting in. This ailment is the result of staying home too much
because of the weather. Television, books, even eating and sex become boring.
People start getting a little nuts towards the end of winter. Ah spring, only 4

I've had a CD-ROM drive for a couple of months now, and have not
experienced this problem. And I am very conscious of hard drive
"litter". So much so, that I've deleted all un-needed files from DOS
6.22 (like all the files that stack the drive, etc.)
CD-ROM install routines do add directories and such to your hard drive,
but any install does that.
I'd be more worried about littering up your hard drive with
windows-based programs that are installed and later removed, as many do
leave a lot of garbage in the windows directory and .ini files.

Do you know what brand your CD drive unit is? Quite often the Discovery
kits include a Sony drive. Mine is like that other guy described... you
push the eject button and the tray only partially pops out, making you
manually pull it out all the way.
Sounds like you got some other brand drive in your kit with a motorized

Nope, not the case... I also have the same drive with the Discovery
CD-ROM kit. It's a Sony drive. It does not have a motorized tray, so
it does not slide all the way out by itself. Yes, kind of cheap, but
hey the drive works fine. I wish I would have gotten a drive with a
motorized tray though. I guess _some_ of the Creative Labs Discovery
CD-ROM kits do include a drive with a better tray mechanism.

The purpose of the game is revealed as you go. Explore everything.
Touch, look, and listen. All too frequently you'll find that one
location of a given Age holds clues for another area of the same age.
Explore carefully and thoroughly the Library on the island of MYST.
There's much information to be gatherd there. And remember that what
you see before may not be all there is before you.
If you need more assistance post details and I'll try to help without
giving direct answers (well it'd spoil the adventure wouldn't it?).

All you need to do is stand at the pool/fountain (whatever) and then
turn around to face the stairs. As you approach the stairs look just
to the left and you'll see a Marker Switch sheet on the wall.
Go ahead and press your 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!!).

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.

Organization: KUB, The Netherlands
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

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.

If you've gotten this far on MYST, you mustnot have needed the viewer.
It is simply another cool gadget, if you must see it, goto the papre on the wal

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.

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?

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 . . .

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone out there has Blown Away CDROM game. I got it for
Christmas, but have not been able to get it to run. Every time it gets to the
first puzzle, Windows crashes with a "Division by zero or overflow" error
after about three to six clicks on the puzzle. Also, at first the game
screens were black completely, so I got updated video drivers. After these,
the games screens displayed fine, but it still crashed in the first puzzle.
BTW, am running 486dx2-66 with 8MB ram. Hope someone has some hints for
getting the game to run.
Thanks.

The Teac 4X CD-ROM uses the same Panasonic interface as the Sound Blaster.
If you purchase one of the Teac drives, you can plug it into the SB 16
using the same data and audio cables that your Panasonic 2X uses. That
is exactly what I am running at the moment.

At least you shouldn't have a problem loading or unloading the disk if

First, you need to get into the top of the lighthouse and charge-up the
batteries. Have you done that yet?
After batteries are charged, look for a hidden doorway that you can
access on the way down into the rooms in the stone portion of the ship.
Afterward, go to the top of the hill and scan around. You should be

I am using Lightning's Disk Cache software. Am very satisfied with
it's performance. I don't have statistics for CD Rom hit ratios, but
have run comparisons for my hard drive. With Smartdrive, I was lucky
if I got a hit ratio (in Windows) much more than 60%. With Lightning,
I typically get hit ratios between 80 and 90%.
You mentioned writing a read ahead buffer to your hard drive to get
faster access. This would actually slow you down. Your RAM would be
used for reading and writing the same information twice. First,
between your CD ROM drive to your hard drive, then from your hard drive
to the RAM handling the request from the CPU. It would be much wiser
to use the spare RAM available to cache as much information from the CD
ROM as possible, rather than take part of it away to perform the
unnecessary reads and writes to your hard disk! That is the whole
idea behind DISK CACHING - to have the information already available
in your high speed RAM, so you don't have to wait on the hard drive to
find it, read it and transfer it!
Hope this info helps! Write back, if you need more.

Creative Labs, like many multimedia companies, does not make it's own

with it's sound cards and sells them as Multimedia Upgrade Kits. If
you find a CD ROM drive with Creative's Logo on it, you can bet it was
made by someone else.

When you are facing the pool/imager at the bottom of the stairs, the
control panel is behind you to your right. You will see a note
attached to the wall with about 3 items on it. Each has a number code
after it, including the code to see an image of the markers you

I have played the game all the way through and will try to respond to
your questions. I don't know what places you have visited in the game
and don't want to spoil any of it for you. Consequently, I will try to
give you a hint or two without giving the complete answer. I that is
not enough, get back with me and I will give you more, or the complete
answer if you ask.
I'll take the "easy one" first. The creeper was absolutely the hardest
and most frustrating part of the game for me to get through. It
probably took about 40 attempts before I finally made it. In the
readme file, they mentioned that the mouse gain was adjustable. That
is most of the problem with the creeper. You can't get the gain high
enough with the sluggish video frame rate to do it without some
combination of lag or overshoot. Just raise the mouse gain and keep
trying. After a while, you should be able to get past the first two
horizontal beams without difficulty. Its the last two that are the
hardest. Take your time and stop after you pass each beam. That was
what worked for me. Also watch the patterns, they change on each
attempt (the vertical beams). Sometimes there will be a fairly clear
lane down one side or another.
As to the racetrack, you will be given what you need to understand the
fix when you finally go see Massimo Eddy. In the mean time ....
GO TO HELL!

I have successfully connected an NEC quad speed to a Sound Blaster 16

limited success. It had a SCSI-1 interface on it which was unable to
keep up with the quad spin drive. It ran and I got better performance
than I would have with a 2X drive, but far less than the 4X drive was
capable of. Unless your SB 16 is the SCSI-2 version, I would avoid
trying to run a 4X CD ROM through it. You will miss out on a lot of
the 4X's capabilities if you do.

The panel that you are looking for is at the left hand side of the
stairs as you face them. Look for a small red button at the top left
corner of the paper on the wall. Hope that this helps.

Sure, a CD-ROmM needs small amounts of HD space to write variables or
changes, since you can not so that on the CD itself... BUT, it is
normally about 1-2K per CD-RoM unless it requires graphics installation
etc. to the HD... but, scattering files, well, thats mainly windows
fault! :) Hope this helped...

What happened? I just got my Pioneer 602x and an Future Domain 8 bit card, and
when the BIOS on the SCSI card comes up it gives me some crap, then the driver
gives me more crap like ID 0=αΓ▌Γσp╟ etc. Then when MSCDEX loads it loads
fine but it will not regonize any of the disks? I have tried EVERYTHING!! I
have tried in 2 computers, all addresses etc. Is this what happened to you?
Any Help would be appreicatied!

Subj: CD Rom repair Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Purchased MultiMedia double spin kit about 14 months ago and learned
that the warranty was for 12 months (of course!). Since I was cut off
while MM went out to lunch, and since it was out of warranty decided to
open it up to see what could be done.---
PROBLEM: The CD tray pushed all the way out of the drive when the
[Eject] button was pushed. The tray could not be re-inserted -- i.e., it
was completely loose and detached from the drive.
SOLUTION: Removed both the top and bottom covers -- they slipped off
with the slight assist of a small screw-driver isnerted under the rear
edge. Neither was screwed in nor otherwise fastened. There is a small
plastic arm that fits over the end of a switch lever that moves in a
semi-circle on the right side. A small plastic tip sticks up through
this slot an is pushed by small plastic bars impressed on the underside
of the tray. This arm controls the tractor gear to move the tray. By
cementing a new small plastic tip on the plastic arm with Krazy Glue,
the repair was completed.
TIME AND SKILL REQUIRED: If you have the glue and some small plastic
parts, the time is 15-30 minutes. A steady hand helps. If you find it
too difficult, ask your model making son to do it.

There are at least 5 commercial programs and a bunch of shareware
programs for uninstalling software. Some CDs can be run directly and
some are just used to load software.
You will need at least 8 MB RAM to run CD-ROM demonstrations on CDs that
come with magazines like CD-ROM Today. Suggest that you read packages
or ads for the kind of CDs you might like to buy and note the
-recommended- system requirements.

BB> Just wondering if anyone has used or compared AAA Trip Planner,

Yes, all 3. Map 'n Go is by far the best, and has had good reviews
from users. Picked as one of the top CDs for 1994. AAA has 1993 rates
and very limited maps with less information than in the published books.
Tripmaker came out originally on floppies that took 40 minutes to load
on a fairly fast computer. CD may have added more features.
Different information on each. Map 'n Go prints (but does not display
on screen) very fine trip pages of about 100 miles each with start point
at the bottom of the page and destination at the top. Good color. Some
of the other programs use too much ink for maps.

Hi all,
I've got a Mitsumi single-speed drive. All I use it for is Microsoft
Bookshelf and SimCity CD-ROM (the latter being graphics-intensive, as I
rarely view video clips in Bookshelf). Would it benefit me to try to
get a faster drive? FWIW, my complete system is a 386DX/40, 4mb RAM,
300mb hard drive, SVGA video.

graphics and sound are top notch. I had no problems with this game.

into your WIN.INI and other INI files. It also dumps the *.DLL files it needs
into the SYSTEM directory under windows also. The only way to get rid of it
is find some freeware programs that will compair your windows setup and delete
the DLL files not used.
That should help.

I still had to disconnect the power to my CD after putting the tape over the

inteference. As for your formatting problems it my be the jumbo itself. I
swapped w/ the dealer after I had formatting problems and it solved the
problem(except for the inteference.) Appparently a lot of inteference can cause
the tape heads to become magnetized and there's no fixing it once that happens.
I've disconnected my CD until I can properly shield the tape drive. I've got
some lead sheeting (typically used by plumbers under showers) to try. May try
copper sheets if that doesn't work.....

Well, I'am glad that they have finally fixed our BBS Editor so that I can now
respond to messages such as these as well as answer questions put to us.
Anyway, lets get a few fact straight here ! 1) You were told, as well as some
700 other customers, that the above drive as well as the other drives we
offered did not come with anything, not even the drivers, but that you could
download the need drivers off our BBS.

CC>> Noise people made (could be just me :) might be paying off and he is
CC>> doing things right. He did not warn me in any way. 2) Here again, your
not telling the truth !! You were told the drives were PULLS, that they came
with a 30 day warranty and that if you received a unit that was DOA or died
within 30 days, we'd either replace the unit ( if they were still available or
refund your $$). You were TOLD EVERTHING!
PV>> etc. is something we bargain hunters have to get used to (G).

CC>> available and ones on it last only 5 minutes. 3) Here yea go again, your
not comparing apples with apples. You asked for the above drive and you
received the above drive as promised. We didn't change anything, nor did we
miss-represent the product in anyway.
PV>> except as a customer. My experience indicates he is refreshingly
PV>> honest in comparison to many of his competitors.
CC>> Glad you had different experience than I. I think $19 shipping/handling

CC>> business that couldn't give exact charge. CD is working now, I wasted
CC>> more than enough time on this subject. Aloha, Keiichi :-) 4) Now your
at it again !! You were told that normal shipping cost, here in the states run
$8.00 for 2nd day service via FedEX, but since you lived in Hawaii, there was
an additional charge and it shouldn't run more than $20.00 to have it ship to
you via the 2nd day service. You in turn agreed that as long as it wouldn't
cost you $25. to go ahead and ship the product to you. We were very close to
the cost of shipping, which you did agree to !! As for the weight of the unit,
I wished it would have weighed 1 lb, we could stuff them into a small envelope
and save our customers a ton of $$ in shipping, but these units weigh 4 lbs and
not 1 lb !! Call FedEx 5) Finally, you stated above that had you know all of
the above, you wouldn't have purchased the unit, but you really did know ALL
THE FACTS and you still bought the player and then posted the reversal here for
whatever reason I don't know !! Then you state that you could have purchased
the unit locally brand new for $99.!! If this is true, then I can't see how 2 +
2 = 8! Please explain to me, why you would order such a unit knowing you could
buy new for $99 and not have to pay any shipping and if you had a problem with
the unit, it could be taken care of locally !! Also, if you were so unhappy,
why then didn't you call us! You knew our number to place the order, but you
forgot it when you had a complaint! You surely didn't complain to me when you
called and asked all those questions and then said " Put It On My Credit Card -
Please !" Now that we have things straight, here's my offer !! If in anyway
shape or form you are unhappy with your purchase, even if you had a bad hair
day or the Moon was in it final quarter and you didn't like the shape it took.
Then call us at 800-243-0517 and ask for me personally. I will be more than
willing to accept the unit back and give you a full refund on your purchase.
Thank You and I hope you have a nice day! Boris

I can't tell you about my own experience, simply because i'm waiting for
the cd-rom-drive I ordered last week. But the merchant told me that he
tested both and that he can't recommend the quad-speed, because it isn't
very much faster, but instead it cost a lot more. "The difference in money
is not worth the difference in speed" is what he said and he also added
that within in two years the ROM-Ending of the CD-Rom will be history, and
that I'll surely survive until then with a double-speed.
That's all I can say about it,...
hope it's a help

I've purchased some software from Tiger Direct, but no
hardware. They seem to have decent prices, but sometimes
not the most recent releases of software. However, I've
not had any problems with them from a customer purchase
prospective though. As for hardware and Multimedia Kits,
you probably could do as well or better at other outlets
as far as price is concerned. If you do choose to deal
with them, try to make sure you know what you are to

Try a shareware upper memory manager called DosMax. Costs less than

Works fine on DX2/66 as well. A BBS will have the program. Hope this

you can save on conventional memory by specifying /x (or /e I forget which)

I had a Future Domain Comaptible controller before the lightning zapped mine.
Then I installes a Addaptec controller and it works fine ..... I have some
software for the addaptec and a nice little package "SCSI Works" that works
for a couple of cards. Leave me a message with the name of your card and I can
take a look if it's compatable with your card.

EF> actually it works on Sony.....
As far as i know the mitsumi _IS_ compatible with CD-i green and white book
movies but if you want to play CD-i games you need some hardware to get these
working. The CD-i is based upon the M68070 (just a M68000+ :) and in order to
get the software running you need a emulator (but thats way to slow) or a
hardware addon to execute the M68070 instructions etc.
Philips has developed a CD-i/PC playback board which can play CD-i, Video CD,
Photo CD and audio CD. The CD-i will show video in true color and audio in
16 bits stereo. It comes with the Philips LMS CM208 quadspeed CD-ROM drive.
For $499,- US.

Mike the only advice I can give you is this:-
1) Select All FM or Basic FM in your midimap
2) Ensure you are not running any software cache
3) Turn off 32 bit disk access
Using the above I was able to get normal graphics and also there is a patch
file called KQ7PAT.EXE available from Sierra BBS. Make sure you get the
correct version. However even with the patch there were still bugs in this
product and I gave up and returned it.

well, the idea is to free Sirrus and Ackinar trapped in the red and blue

Well, the version of SMARTDRV.EXE that you have to have must be version 5.01
with MS-DOS 6.22. Usually you just type it with a /V switch and if the
letter of your CD-ROM drive is there it worked. Try this if that doesn't
work: SMARTDRV +D /V
where D is the CD-ROM drive letter.

I have the same card you have and your right all it gave me was trouble.
I could never get the 602x to work with it. I even called Pioneer and
they said the card should work, well it never did for me. I went thru 2
602X and they did the same thing. I got my third one from Dan with the
Adaptec 1522A SCSI-2 Controller and on the first try everything came
up and running. I don't know why they say that the 8 bit Future Domain
card will work with the 602X because it didn't work for me. If I were
you I would get the Adaptec 1522A and give that a try. You might have
better luck with it. I know I did..
Good luck if you need any help just ask.

Whatever it is, it seems to work. I don't know which it is. Just a
moment.........
(A few minutes later)
Opened up the case. I have to do that later this week anyway if
Conner sends me a new tape drive like they promised. The CD player is
a Model CR-563-B. Now I've seen 562 and 563 talked about, but I don't
remember which people was saying is the Panasonic and which the Sony
(I think that's the ones they said). If I find it in one of the
conferences, I'll come back here and amend this message.
(More than a few minutes later)
I searched some old message packets and found most referred to the 563
as a Panasonic or Matsushida drive. One message that was in
yesterday's packet said "562/563/563b are CD drives made by
Panasonic/Matsushita." That essentially echoed the other messages I
found.

I just checked the drive and it's a CR-563-B, and I don't know which
manufacturer that is. Let's put my drive's operation this way: If I
am using the Soundblaster Music CD player option (don't remember what
it's called), I can click on the eject button on the screen with the
mouse, the drive drawer comes out, I lift out the CD and put a new one
in, and click on the button with the mouse and the drive drawer goes
back in all the way. I then click to start the drive and the music
starts. It works the same way if I use the little button on the front
panel of the CD player or, if while the drive drawer is out, I just
push the drawer slightly and the drawer goes back in. I thought they
all worked like this. It works great. (So far, anyway <G>)
(Later)
I found by reading previous message packets that other people say the
562/563/563b is a Panasonic/Matsushita (or Matsushida) drive.

Hi;
I hav'nt heard of this game before, can you describe it a bit?
Is it a graphical game, 3-D like DOOM, or text, or what?
What's the objective?

Greetings ALL,
With the new year, I would like to get some new games. I just realized
that I have beaten all my games, and am not getting any use out of them.
Maybe someone out there will be interested in a few of them.
All games are on CD, and most come with a hintbook or walkthru of some
kind.
1.) Gabriel Knights (with Sierra Hintbook)
2.) Myst (with walkthru)
3.) 7th Guest (with hintbook)
4.) Indiana Jones: Fate of Atlantis (with hintbook)
5.) Return to Zork (with hintbook)
6.) Iron Helix (OEM Version)
Non Games:
1.) Seinfeld Screevsaver (Windows *.avi's)
2.) Physical Therapy (Adult stills/movies)
All games come with thier original boxes (except Iron Helix, OEM was how
I got it) and most still have thier registration cards. I am interested
in trading for:
1.) Under a Killing Moon
2.) Rebel Assault
3.) Hell: A Cyberpunk Adventure
4.) Noctropolis
5.) Voyeur
I am mainly looking for the above, but am open to all trades. If you
are interested let me know here or call me at (503) 245-6263. l8r...

The model number designation indicates that it is an OEM'd Panasonic

are going to have to experiment. Id suggest leaving the card alone and
experiment with the port address on the driver line to see if you get
lucky. Start at 300 and go up by 10 to 370.

DU> other high memory managers and by eliminating EMM386, DOS=HIGH, and
DU> DOS=UMB that DOOM fires right up. :)
Dave,
I run quite a few large games on my system. (yes, I admit it.. I am
a Leisure Larry fan..:-) )
What I did was to make a boot-up floppy which will allow my system to
boot up with the accepted configs for any of the games I play.
I am attempting to learn how to "compute". I get up at four am
each and every day, study the computer.. until 7:30 am. Go to work,
and when I return in the evenings, my body and mind are sort of tired,
I then spend the evenings just playing some computer games.
I had difficulties getting the memory needed for some of these large
games and I fooled around with a way to create one boot up floppy
which would allow me to play the games.
You might do the same.
Monty

Some months ago I remember reading in a magazine (I forget which one)
about future advancements in CD-ROM discs and drives.
Supposedly IBM is developing new technologies that write data onto
CDs using different color (intensities) lasers and then using the same
color laser to read the data that was written by that color.
It said that lasers can be adjusted to billions of different colors,
so theoretically, in the future CDs may be made to store BILLIONS of
times more data than they do now.
Can anyone more technical than myself elaborate on this?

There are a VERY FEW Echomail areas out there that offer somewhat private
mail (the Sysops of each and every BBS involved can STILL read that mail) -
but they tend to be very specialised or localised "Role Play via Echomail"
echoes.
GS>BTW, do you know how to send private messages in Fido?
The closest thing to "private" messages in Fido are Net Mail messages - as
a general rule, only the sender and reciever and the sysops of the BBSs
that the message comes from and is sent to can read such mail, and MOST
sysops don't bother reading other folks Net Mail.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of FidoNet Echomail technology,
there is no way to differentiate between you and some other "Thomas Turner"
on some other FidoNet BBS. Due to these limitations, EVERYONE using the
name "Thomas Turner" on a FidoNet BBS is going to appear to have every
message addressed to "Thomas Turner" be for THEM.
Your name is a fairly common one - if you see mail with "your" name on it
that is NOT addressed to you, the odds are that it is for someone else and

AP>IDE connects directly to your sound card
VERY rarely will a sound card have an IDE interface.
IDE CR-DOM drives are generally designed to attach to the IDE HARD DRIVE
port in most current computers (though they prefer EIDE ports, and a couple
may ONLY work on EIDE ports).
AP>SCSI you don't need a sound card or interface card
You need a SCSI Host Adapter card of SOME sort, either a dedicated SCSI HA
or something like the Pro Audio Spectrum 16 which includes a SCSI port.
AP>and it is usually external (I think it is always external)
The MAJORITY of SCSI CD-ROM drives are internal.
The majority of External CD-ROM drives are SCSI, but not all - and
external drives are a fairly small percentage of the market.

If you call the BBS number in the manual/literature included with the game, you
can download a file called mysthint.zip or mysthint.txt. But use it sparingly!
It gives all the solutions in an order of numbered hints.

If you use windows alot and want some great WAV and BMP files, it's worth the
money. It also has cool interactive wallpaper and telephone answering machine
messages. But, so far in my opinion, the game to find the "secret to
intergallactic success" is beyond me! There is a neat pinball game, also
included.

Hello!
I still have the same problem, everytime I access the drive my computer always
give me this message;
CDR101 not ready
Abort Retry Ignore Fail ? _
You told me that the problem exist because my IDE card and TRANTOR T160 SCSI
controller that is included in the package is not compatible. I tried changing
my IDE card twice, I try VLB super IDE card and VLB Fan Card Combo IDE
controller but it still the same. Maybe the TRANTOR T160 SCSI controller that
you include in the package is defective. I ask some the sysops here in the
PHILIPPINES who use the same set-up (they use TRANTOR T160 controller in their
system and a 16 bit super IDE-Card) and they told me that they don't
encounter the same problem and their PIONEER Drives works great. Can you
please replace it with a new one, I'm willing to shoulder the shipping cost.
Edward.

No wonder you are confused!!!! I just realized that you were
asking about TIGER software and I was thinking EGGHEAD, which
also is in Miami - in fact, I did NOT order my CDRom system
from Tiger, but from Egghead. Sorry - I guess I put my fingers

Subj: Creative Labs CD Policy Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I bought a Creative Labs Omni-CD one year and two months ago. Their warranty
period is one year.
Well, last weekend it went belly up and refused to read CDs anymore.
I called Creative and asked about repair policies or troubleshooting help on
their Technical Support line.
The attendant informed me that they did not do repairs themselves but had a
place who handled repairs for them. He also told me that the basic repair
charge is more than the street price for a new drive. In other words - "don't
bother".
I had been inside the drive and noticed that if I manually spun the CD while
the head was trying to read it, the CD would spin on up and then work normally.
Without the help, it would always fail. The attendant suggested that I "rig up"
some way to manually spin the CD whenever I loaded a disc.
He was loads of help. They had no information on typical failure modes, no
suggestions on how to deal with them, and they won't sell parts (I suspected
that my problem was in the head). He did however recommend that I call
Panasonic and see if they could help me. He warned me that they might not since
I had bought an OEM (Creative Labs) version and not a Panasonic CR563B.
I tried calling the Panasonic number he gave me, and after going through a
number of automated answering machines I was transferred to a person's mailbox
who has yet to return a call (I left two separate messages).
I figured I had nothing to lose, so this morning I went ahead and disassembled
the head and spindle assembly to see if I could find the problem myself. Based
on the way it was acting, I still suspected that the problem was in the head. I
dusted it out with a spray can duster but that did no good. On inspecting the
head, I found a couple of adjustment screws. I gave the one on the detector
circuit board a quarter turn and IT WORKED!
I buttoned up the drive and it still works. I've run scancd and it reports no
errors on scanned discs so it isn't having trouble reading now and it fires
right up each time all by itself.
I was able to fix the drive all by myself after the "technical support" guy at
Creative told me I might as well buy a new one.
All that had happened was the system had worked itself enough out of alignment
that it wasn't recognizing that a disc was present. Everything really worked
fine.
In short, Creative Labs tech support isn't really. Not that I expect them to
tell people to go digging in the delicate innards of a CD-ROM drive, but if the
problem isn't an interrupt or address, they basically recommend you buy new.
Also, Creative leaves its customers hanging if you have a failure after the
warranty runs out. With their "it's cheaper to just go buy another one"
attitude, well, you get the picture - forget about repairs.
I suggest that anyone considering a Creative Labs CD-ROM package or drive keep
this last point in mind: If you buy a Creative Labs drive now, you just might
have to buy another one in a year if your's works out of alignment (or anything
else goes wrong) after the 1 year warranty expires.
My next drive will *not* be a Creative Labs.

It controls the amount of sector buffers.... kinda like the old buffers line
that used to be in config.sys...... I am not sure what an optimal number for
that is although it seems to normally be 10.

Sure, Turn around. On the left wall, right beside the exit pathway
you'll see a little green dot. There is also a plaque. Click on that.
It will zoom you and show you a few "dimensional imager settings" Click
on the green button in the top left corner. Up pops the panel. 8 is

Allen, that's the way the Sony 31 and 33 series caddyless drives
work. It seems Creative labs is now using Sony drives in some kits
rather than Panasonics.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I sure hope someone can help me, I'm having a heck of a time with a problem.
About a week ago I added a second DRM-602X to my bbs. It installed with no
problems. I chained it off of the first drive turning off the termination on
drive one and turning it on the new drive since its on the end. One of my
users told me today he was getting a lot of CRC failures when he tried to
unzip the files he downloaded, I checked by copying over a few files and sure
enough they were all failing. I went to the CD drive (Like Night Owl 13 & 14)
and ran the program thats on it and it reported "Wrong Ver Command.com" On
some of the other CD's their install programs just locked the system up,
leaving a few garabage characters on the screen. I have 16 megs of memory on a
486-33, DOS 6.2 and using the lastest ver of MSCDEX. Would anyone have any
idea what I may have setup wrong?
Thanks,
Gary

The mitsumi drive is really a good bargin. It is fast,cheap and is compatible
with many sound cards. It is almost becoming a standard for most sound card
cd-rom interfaces. I don't know if it is compatible with the PAS16. You
should be able to find one for about $130 or so. If you have an enhanced ide
motherboard take a look at their quad.

The 3D) adapter by c. Labs requires you to have a panasonic cd-rom. It costs
more because you can put it in your computer. SB16/mcd is multi-cd which lets
you connect a mitsumi,sony,and panasonic drive to it.

Hello All!
I have a Pioneer CD-ROM Changer DRM-602X which I bought from the U.S. and I'm
having a hard time trying to find out what is the best SCSI Controller or IDE
card to use. I tried installing a VL bus Super IDE-Card with Trantor T160 CD-
ROM SCSI controller and every time I access the CD-ROM drive I always receive
the message
CD-ROM not ready
(A)bort (R)etry (I)gnore ? _
The problem occurs during the drive access and myy supplier to told me that the
IDE card is not compatible with the Trantor controller so I tried the ordinary
16bit IDE Card and I still have the same problem. I need help from someone out
there who have this model of CD-ROM drive and successfully install and use it?
Please post me a message and tell me what brand and model of SCSI controller
that you use or IDE card that is compatible with Trantor T160 CD-ROM SCSI
controller. Badly need help, please respond soon, before I loose my patience
and send this CD-ROM drive back to the U.S.

With hard drive prices typically in the $.40-$.50/Meg range, that's not
relaly that big a problem. A full installation of OS/2 with all utilities and
capabilities will run about 25 Megs. A minimal installation (after removing
all unnecessary files) is less than 9 Megs, but that won't include multimedia
capabilities. It will be able to access the CD-ROM as a simple drive, however.
For any further discussion, I suggest that we take it to Netmail, as this has
drifted off-topic.

I had the same problem, I could hear audio out of the headphone jack but
not through the card. The connector was on the wrong jack on the board.
The book told me where to put the audio connector but when I called tech
support they said make sure it was on another connector and when I
changed it everything was fine. This was on the revel sc600 sound card.
So if there is more than one audio connector try the other one. Not
sure if this helps.

Probably. You need a SCSI-2 compatible controller (any modern

but the 602X requires SCSI-2.

Michael,
Just read a message where you said that you have run two drives for

a Mitsumi 2X that I have on my SB16 MCD card. No problem there. I just
purchased a Chinon 2X internal SCSI which I will be adding to my
UltraStor VLB SCSI adapter. What changed in my drivers do I need to
make? In my CONFIG.SYS I'm sure I need to add the individual drivers
that each drive uses. But in my AUTOEXEC.BAT can I use the MSCDEX.EXE
for both? Or should I just put it in twice? If you don't know, it is
no problem. I haven't had time to sit on hold at Chinon or Mitsumi.
Thanks in advance!

John, The key (and the can of WD-40) are not needed! Just get the
putty from the floor where the gangway was. Leave the storeroom. Go to the
electric plant (Left, Left, Left, Left, Left Door) Use the spanner (wrench) to
loosen both buttons on the right control panel. Have Joey help you push both
buttons at once. Shut the switch off on the left section of control panel.
Take the light bulb and put the putty (plastic explosive) in the socket and
turn power back on. Make sure both switches are down!
Hope this of some help!!

Not really... programmers want "many" copies of programs used, not just

Boy am I confused ... there's so much mis-information and
misinformed distributors around that I had to call TEAC directly
to get a straight answer on whether thier CD55A supports IDE or
EIDE. The answer is IDE. Anyway, I'm off topic already.
I'm about to upgrade from a 1X to a 4X CD-ROM drive. I've just upgraded
my system to VLB and EIDE so I'd like to get a drive that would make use
of these pseudo standards. I was about ready to buy the TEAC CD55A
SuperQuad until I found out that it was IDE and not EIDE as I was led
to believe. The CD55E (EIDE) will be shipping soon according to TEAC.
I'd appreciate it if anyone can recommend a 4X EIDE drive. In addition
could someone answer a couple of questions ....
(1) Is the Mitsumi 4X EIDE or IDE ?
(2) Has anyone compared the TEAC CD55A SuperQuad and the Mitsumi 4X?
Thanks ... ansers most appreciated.

Thanks for the enlightening story. My next drive also will NOT be from
Creative Labs. I bought the Discovery 16 kit, with the Sony drive which
has the funky non-motorized tray. It works fine so far... but Creative
Labs kits seem to be suited only for first time CD-ROM buyers, which I
was a couple of months ago... but now that I know more, I'd spend the
extra money for a good quad-speed drive. That Sony drive included with
the CL / SB kit just seems so cheap and flimsy. But like I said, so far
it works ok.

Ok, I had the same problem. Yes, you must reverse the small white clip on the
SB16 board but you also have to cut it so it fits, try several times to tape
it there so it will stay, then you must discover that every time you move the
computer, you must open it up and reconnect the stupid little white thing,
until you finally discover that if you put a small band of electrical tape
around the connector before you plug it in, you can make it stay there.

I don't believe that I have the SCSI-2 version, as Creative would probably have
advertised it on the box if it was. I think that it is just the plain vanilla
SB16 card. Thanks for the advice, my intent (since I don't have much cash) was
to upgrade my existing system one piece at a time. I was going to start with
the CD, then add a SCSI-2 1gig HD and move the CD onto that controller. I was
wondering if it would be possible to add the 4x CD now to show some benifit,
and then move it onto the SCSI card when I get it. Thanks for the advice, I
guess I'll go for the HD first!

Try setting your SB-16 to Microsoft Sound System (MSS) mode, and
reconfiguring (you may have to reinstall) Zork to look for MSS
vice SB-16.

DM> Okay everyone. I just upgraded my old Sound Blaster 1.5 (mono) to a
DM> new Sound Blaster 16 Discovery Multi-media kit including the CD-ROM.
DM> My question is this: what's the best approach in configuring the sound
DM> card to be used in most games? I have noticed the following: if I
DM> After I get my normal boot down, with DOSKEY, MOUSE, SMARTDRV, PRINT,
DM> and RAMDRIVE loaded, and for a full boot to use all the multi-media
DM> capabilities, I usually have only 516K (was 494K before I optimized my
DM> CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT after installing the CD-ROM.)
Just my opinion, but I'd lose DOSKEY, SmartDrv, print, and
ramdrive. Unless you've got an 8 or 12 meg machine (memory) you
can't afford the overhead. As far as setting up for DOOM, my
personal recommendation is a boot disk, but you can tailor
multiple boot "menus" using DOS. (Trust me, it's in the manual)
I normally have better than 620K of free conventional memory at
all times and have zero probs with memory related crashes. I
can even run KQVII on my humble 4 meg machine.
I think if you read your SB manual, you'll find you can set your
mixer and then lock the settings so you don't have to redo it
all the time.

Rob - It's been a while, but if I remember correctly, you have
to earn enough at monolith to but some clothes, then change into the
clothes, clean out the ATM account, and purchase the part you need.
FYI - you can win the game without using your computer which makes
the plug unnecessary, but if you're like me, you'll want to get it
anyway, just to prove you can do it.
P.S. Don't forget to pick up any trash you might find lying around.

Welp after reserch and talking to Panasonic they told me pretty
much that they have no software support for the CR-562B 2X CD rom drive
So I called up and got REVEAL BBS number and
acquired the 5 drivers that they had for that particular drive
The number for REVEAL'S BBS is (818)713-8188
The file that you need if you are using that drive with a SB card
is the one called CDMKE410.SYS.
This file Version 4.10 compared to the 4.03 that I was using.
Overall I have seen a smoother operation of the drive, especially
when running quick time for windows disks.
I hope this info can be of some help to someone out there that is
using this PANASONIC CR-562B 2X CD ROM DRIVE!!!!!

? I have downloaded the drivers I found on the aztech bbs in
Singapore/Germany/USA which should work, but the didn't detect the cdrom while
this is working fine in DOS.
Anybody a bbs nr of hint ?
Bye Bye!

Your about the fourth person to ask me that John and I'm affraid I don't
know the answer. I wish I did. I have no first hand experience with
NT, as all of our machines are OS/2. My best advice is to ask in the
many cd forums, as well as NT.
Good luck....Dirk

He might be holding until he get enough orders. I remember that at
lease couple people had problems and by his own admission he was
waiting or refund from several sources.
If you didn't agree to a specific terms I think he has about month or
more before he has to issue a refund. Law is such that he might just
offer you a credit etc. I will write and call him and start build
the case so that worst comes worst you can file a complaint.

Just from what you are saying, it will be like going from a B/W to
color picture. BILLIONS probably is only for theoretical limit
but we will probably see videos released in current CD-ROM size
that are same quality as VHS. Good Ol' IBM, they are finally doing
many things right again. :) In couple of years, expect to see 500-
1000meg read and write lazer disks in current 3.5" floppy size.

Hi Ken, dont know if you installed it or someone else, but Id check to
see if a rail mounting screw is too long and partially blocking the path
of the CD tray. If it has happened to two separate CD's Rom units I
would doubt that it would be the Unit. Might also be too tight.
Good Luck

Some drives (if not a powered tray) are spring eject and only push the
tray out half way. When buying a CD Rom drive you should check if it has
powered eject. Not all do and this can account for a less expensive
price. I have and Mitsumi/Azteck drive and it is powered eject and works
fine and even from SBpro16 or Windows to eject/close. Do a little
research when buying these things.

I agree. It was alot nicer and easier to adjust the volume with the knob
than having to go into some sofware to do it. Especially if you have to

As long as you have the internal. An external will require an

Hello All :
Ok I know...there is an online hint option on this game so I shouldn't
need to ask for any hints...right? Well could someone please humor me
here and give me a hand? I resisted the hint mode until yesterday when
in Eddie Ching's apt, I seemed to have gotten as far as I could without
it. I have the geiger, cage, geiger food, accessed thesecret room where
the Countess' statue is, found the safe behind the picture, found the
cardkey device behind the picture in the secret room, etc. Can't find
out what to do next. Now here's the deal. I broke down and went to the
hint mode. It told me that the next step is to get the Birthday Fax.
The only fax machine is back at Tex's office. I go there and there's no
fax. No one on chandler ave. seems to know anything about it either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Roger Dupler

Mindy,
I got all the way to the last puzzle, (the ship) by myself, &
then my buddy ordered the hint book & we finised the game. If you'd be
a little more specific as to where you are & what you're trying to
figure out I'll see if I can give some hints without giving it away.
As I'm sure you've read in this echo though, be forwarned, once you get
through it, the games over.

Terry Ortman and Starfleet Software has been banned from the

regarding complaints to the BBB and state attorney-generals.
One in particular was Susan Potts on the CDROM_SALE echo
who got ripped off for $106.00 by Terry.
