Gary... Gary... Gary, That wasn't nice at all. If he buy 'em like we do he gets
"outs" from companys. When they are tossed during final inspection, some
companys have requirements that are stringent enough, that if, say fer
instance, they toss 1,000 units as having defects maybe 700-800 are by my
standards usable. If you want to solder a connection here or there, or drop a
tiny bit of solder on a cracked tracing, the number may even be higher that
that. I say... I say Boy, ya' just gotta' know how to shop around... I say
listen when I'm talkin' to ya son.

Hi there,
Resently I baught a NEC CDR-210 CDROM with a
SCSI/IDE-interface-board. When I connect it
I hear (in DOS) a disturbed sound (Under
the killing Moon), and (in DOS/WINDOWS)
lots of read-errors.
My soundboard is a Logitech Soundman Wave - board,
with a SCSI-interface on it. There are no SCSI-drivers,
so I cannot connect it. I tried other IRQ/DMA channels
that did not work.
What do, you out there, think is the best thing
to do...

Get Boos drunk again (go through the first three lines of the toast). Then,

Drink with him, but don't drink. Each time he offers you a drink, propose a
toast, then pour the drink into the flower pot. Eventually, he'll fall off
his stool and expose a trapdoor leading to East Shanbar.
Then, go through the first three lines of the toast again, and ask him for his
keys. One of them will open the door at the bottom of the stairs.

AV>Thanks, Anthony
You ask if smartdrv can make your cd rom faster. The cd roms are
engineered for certain rates and features which probably can't be
exceeded. Drives also have different size caches built in. What
smartdrv does is provide an alternative to the drive cache in order to
"read ahead" the information from the cd itself and can be configured to
a size much larger than standard cd rom built-in caches. I find that
ability to be the best feature of using the smartdrv cache with cd rom
drives. It is considered an average to above average cache program.
Third party vendors also make a variety of cache programs the the usual
hype of superiority. In summary, getting the data from the cd to the
ram(system) is performed by smartdrv and other third party programs.
Smartdrv is only one of several programs that increase the efficiency of
that data transfer.

I was informed it was to have a 256K or 512K cache, too. No other info
except I found the price too much. ($400) It will probably come down

There is supposedly a switch in the driver command line which enables

Hello Charles!
CF> I would like to know how long it took to get your CDs from Terry?? I
CF> ordered them on Jan %th and still didn't get them. So I was just
CF> wondering how longit took to get yours!!!
Well it took quite a while. I ordered my game in November (25th I think) and I
recieved them in February. I know this sounds like a very long time, but you
must remember that it was around Christmas time and the mail will naturally be
very slow. I wrote a few times in this Conf. asking what had happened to my
games and I finally got an answer from Terry telling me that there had been
some problem with the delievery, but the CDs was on their way.
CF> Thanx for your time!!!!
CF> Charles...
It's ok...... Hope you get your games soon.
R/gds.

It's a scratch.
Looks light, but apparently enough to cause problems.

Just my luck! This guy on the boat is wacko. I have been there ten

I don't know if I can keep him talking or not. But I will try.
I have also been to the Pawn Shop and have traded for everything he

I am not sure what Extensions does but I have all the other system requirements

MD> Would you have any info on the 4x CDROM by Pine? It si selling here

MD> it?
Let me guess .... Futureshop? My understanding is, and it's unsubstantiated,
that Pine is Futureshop's house brand so to speak. When I called them about
quad speed drives I think the salesman slipped up because he referred to it
as a Mitsumi. So I think the Pine is a Mitsumi by another name! You could
always call them and ask them directly who the manufacturer of the drive is.
If your in the market for a quad drive and you don't want to pay the price
for the higher performance SCSI models you should consider a TEAC CD55A
(affectionately also known as the SuperQuad). This is what I had originally
planned on buying before changing my mind in favour of a SCSI quad. My
research indicated that this was a solid drive, with easy installation,
and high end performance ... and all for a price within $30 of a Mitsumi.
Besides if you've been monitoring this conference for a while you'll notice
that people have nothing but praise for the TEAC and a lot of problems with
the Mitsumi(s). A company here in Toronto was selling the TEAC for $288 (the
lowest price I'd gotten before this was $329 ... Mitsumi's quad is generally
$299).
I don't know what kind of motherboard you have but TEAC will be releasing
their EIDE drive (the CD55E ... 165ms access time!) by the end of February.
If you'd like specs on any of the TEACs I have the spec sheets for both direct
from TEAC America.
Cheers ;-) Colin

I think Pine is manufactured by Mitsumi, but don't quote me on that. For
$300 you'd be better off buying a TEAC quad. Solid drive, easy installation,
will connect to a SB 16 MCD (or use seperate interface) and has been rated
quite highly for performance (based on review I read). If you shop around
you might even find the TEAC for exactly the same price or cheaper. Average
price for the TEAC is around $329-349.

YES, that's right cd-gum. They're selling gum looking like a cd-rom or at least

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the reply-appreciated! I tried the BBS number above several times
today, and was greeted w/ a robot operator voice to the effect the number is
not in service! Frustrating! The message said nothing about an alternative
number. Did the drivers you downloaded come zipped as a package of
"everything," or did you just obtain one or two specific drivers? If it's
"everything," or at least includes the drivers for their 24F controller and if
you know they're intended for use w/ the Toshiba 3401 XM CDROM, would you mind
posting them somewhere so I can download them? I run Binkley here, and could
FREQ them if you have a phone number to park them under.
Thanks for your help! Hope you're enjoying your weather down there...8
degrees and snowing(!) here.
Regards,
Kerry

Combine the code sheet and the pieced together note, then you'll

It is a huge magazine, surface is about 30 x 40 x 3-4cm tick at the

True. Credit card such as VISA/MasterCard really help though. Even
though they are only required to help with in the state or 80km from home
state. It will try to help the situation regardless. On the other
hand, you might have to pay shipping both ways for warranty repair
which might cost more than worth small items. Even to here in Hawaii,
shipping cost can be close to $150 for a complete system.

to return it without restocking fee since they sent you kind of

Actually, Mitsumi IDE 4x were advertized for $185 here. I think exchange

Canada and Mexico it isn't as bad. Funny thing is that before NAFTA

I didn't understand what you meant by changing focus range. CD-ROM work by
reading the little hole burnt onto the platter by laser, you the layer has to
be damaged (burnt holes on) in order to make the surface reflect the laser
beam. How does a laser beam penetrate the surface layer of the CD-ROM and read
something that's recorded in an inner layer as you desribe. I don't understand
how that can be achieved. In order to penetrate the first layer, the lase beam
has to be very strong, and how can it do that without damaging the outerlayer
which is also recorded with data as you stated. Maybe there's something can be
done to recorde several tracks in the width of what it takes now for only one
track, but that still mean a shorter wave length for the laser beam. Now the
laser beams can be focused to about only a few wavelengths in width so it can
read thing on a very small track, maybe in the future we can focus blue laser
to its wavelength, so we can have finer tracks on a CD-ROM. But I still don't
understand the concept of multi-layer CD-ROM. Can you give me some more
detail?

I searched an arcade of mirrors, a mining town, a many roomed hotel, and
a cinema but I can't crack any locked doors, or get anything to work.
Does anyone know this game, and how to get started with it?

DO NOT get an interface card! The SB16 should be more than capable of taking
the panasonic drive, and if it is a fault with the card (unlikely) then TAKE IT
BACK, and demand your money back. You can do much better than him, take me for
instance, U didn't even buy the card from me, and I'm giving U free advice ;)
Anyway, I hope this has been of some help to you, and I wish U luck with
multimedia - it can be a lot of fun, as soon as U get it all up and running!
Good luck,
David
PS. A cache is a good idea when using CD-Rom (as it is so slow), but remember
- U must put the cache AFTER the mscdex.exe in your autoexec.bat, otherwise the
cache won't know about the CD-Rom and will not cache it.

Yes.
A CD-Rom drive has a normal laser like a CD player so an ordinary cleaning CD
should clean your CD-ROM (I do not warranty that statement in any way). BUT
they are not cheap - I've seen them in places like Brashes for about $50.
Hope this helps,

P.S. Most CD-Rom drives are "supposed" to be "Dust Proof". But I doubt that
anyway.

You May be able to help me.
I'm after a second ROM Drive. Already have a Panasonic CR-522 (Single
Speed), & want to add a second faster drive to the system. Don't want
caddyless drives though, as I currently have a collection of about two
dozen caddys which all my CD's are stored in.
Using a Soundblaster 16 MCD as the controller.
If you can help me with a drive that will work with my existing drive &
controller Let me know & we'll do business.
Cheers Phil.

Sounds like you have something conflicting with the rom interface & thus it
is not being recognised & installed. You probably have the SBCD.sys on your
disks but the install program didn't bother with them as it could not find
the rom drive.
Try changing the addresses & DMA chanels to something other than the
defaults to overcome the confilct.
Also there should be a test CD program or something like that in the SB
directory. This might help lo0cate the probles.
Cheers.

Hi Gwyn,
I Have a 486DX2-66, 32 Mb + 1 Mb Video + SB-16. WCIII works well, Good movies
etc. Only when you are close to a Large ship ( ie. Destroyer etc) and moving
fast it gets rather jerky.
A 33MHz would be worse I guess.
When WCIII installs it tests your machine for speed etc. and recomends
the appropriate setup.
I guess you have read that it recomends a pentium for peak performance.
I suppose it does need it, but is still good onmine!
Hope This Helps.

Dave,
Its changing to the shotgun instead because your obviously out of
ammo for the BFG. The BFG needs around 40 "CELLS" for each shot, so if your
CELLS ammo is bellow 40, you can't fire the BFG and it will swap you to another
weapon youv'e got. As far as beating the big bugger, I'm not sure I have not
done this mission yet, but you could always cheat by typing IDKFA, this will
give you a SH%^ load of ammo and give you all of the weapons!

I'm running a Teac CD-55A with the SB16. The Teac drive came with the

now I got it connected to a SB16. The audio cable connection that came

you push it hard enough it will go in allright without any worries.
Highly recomended combination.

I believe you can pick up cheap IDE CD-drives due to their abundance in
the IBM world... So, if I can get one, how difficult is it to install in an amy

Also, is there any such thing as a CD-stacker for computers? (ie.
having multiple CDs's Online for a BBS pehaps, without having to have multiple
drives installed?)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hiya ppl...
While in Hawaii on holidays, I picked up Websters Interactive
Encyclopedia 95 for $35... it don't work!
I have a 486dx33 with 4mg ram and a double speed CD-ROM drive. Also have
an old Trident 1 mg video card, using Windows 3.11 in 800x600x256.
I can install it OKish, but when I go to run the CD-ROM, it gives me a
black window with the menus active. The cursor, when I move it over the
window, becomes the hourglass. When I select something from the menus,
like video index, a pretty screen pops up, then another window saying
Object Variable Not Set or something similar. Then the thing dissapears.
I've worked on it for a while, but nothing works. Any suggestions,
before I fire off a nasty email to Websters & Co? I've tried switching
screen sizes + colours, starting with WIN /3, etc. Also, I found a wierd
named directory full of compressed stuff (ie msshell.ex_, MS-expand
stuff, etc) which I deleted.
Any hints at all?

That is what it says on the back of this external, heavy metal case 1x
CDROM from 1991 w/its own interface card. Do you happen to have the driver for
it too? (DOS and OS/2). If so please let me know where you got yours
(Internet or some BBS w/FREQ). I don't think I can just run the CD in DOS with
MSCDEX?

I would like to introduce you to 'Lucid Reflections'. It is a new magazine,
on CD-ROM, dedicated to the modelers who use 3D Studio. Lucid Reflections
has the same qualities as a normal magazine, such as, Letters to the Editor,
Software Reviews, Advertisements, Tips, Upcoming Products & Software, etc.
What makes this particular magazine different from others, is that the
magazine is more than a mere reference material. The CD-ROM is actually a
tool for modelers. Each quarter the CD-ROM contains 300+ ClipModels,
Material Libraries, Animated Materials, and Texture Maps, for use in your
creations. Also the CD-ROM contains a Subscriber Forum, where subscribers
can submit there work to our two Art Galleries, (Animations & Still Art),
the most unique Art Gallery yet. Subscribers can also submit .AXP's, .KXP's,
.SXP's, .PXP's, KeyScripts, Meshes, Tips, Secrets, and Materials of their
own. All subscribers can benefit from each other's ideas. What other
magazine can offer this much?
If you would like ordering information for Lucid Reflections Magazine,
call 201-952-0198, and please leave your name with mailing information. The
information will be mailed promptly! Thank you.

Hello Ken,
I have seen that type of drive a few times over here (I work in a

Hello Andrew,
First of all the sound card, the card which sells the best over here
is the Sound Blaster 16.
There are several types of CD-ROM (2x,3x,4x). The first CD-ROMs drives
were prety slow, so faster drives were deleloped and were named double
speed, hence 2x. There are now triple speed and quadruple speed drives.
My favorite drive is the panasonic 2x which can be connected directly
on to the sound blaster 16. Which is useful if you don't have many
expansion slots free in your PC. Although over here the mitsumi 4x
drive has dropped in price to around US$190, which now makes it an
attractive option if you want more speed, but you will have to connect
this drive on to the interface card supplied.

The first thing you might want to do, is to clean your CD disc. They
can be cleaned with the cleaning solution of Audio Cd's.
There is also a cleaning solution, for your cddriver's head...
But now and then you might have to re-install the interface program
onto your hard drive. when you reinstall it doesn't affect your
interface program, it will just copy over the bad places if there is
any.
I have many cd's which I run, and every now and then, I get the same
Error messages you have received.
I have never had any trouble getting a clean reading, after doing the
aboved mentioned advice..
Good Luck

KH> SysOp of Escape BBS 203-878-9833
Hello Ken,
Yes, I have many cd's. And each of them can be ran from a BBS. Most
of the Shareware one's are like that. I believe most of the buyers of
them are folks who operate BBS's..
I happen to be one of those most unlucky fellows who lives in an area
where there isn't any BBS's. I have to call long distance to log onto
a BBS. I call one place, and download five echos. Twice or three
times a week. I can't afford to be online for very long. So I just
download mail packets.. I can't stay online long enough to get many
files. So I bought a cdrom driver and the cd's for my own use.
I really enjoy coping files off of the cd's and fooling around with
the programs..
Each of my shareware disc's have file lists...
I really don't understand what it is that you are asking me.
Do you want to have copies of these file lists? and the name of the
Cd's which these lists belong too?
Are you trying to see what files are on what cd's?
If this is what you are asking, then that wouldn't be too difficult to
do..
If you will let me know how to get the information to you. I could
fix you up with some lists..
I fool around with dos often, and have transferred many file lists to
my hard drive, in order to do searchs with them in an editor..
I don't like to sit and read file by file... I must have a hundred
thousand of them.. Whew...
Often I read in messages from other users, where they are bragging
about a great program which is Shareware, and I then jot it's name
down, and begin a search for it. To see if I might have a copy..
Makes a good past time, here in the Ky hills, when it's twenty below
zero outside.. And in a land where there isn't anything to do. And
too much spare time to do it in..:-):-)

The Microsoft Bookshelf series come to mind.
I have a 91 edition and it has all that you have mentioned and more..
You should be able to obtain earlier versions, for a low price. I
have seen them here advertised near nine dollars.. You have to read
the ad's and watch out for them.
Or you could ask here and see if someone might have one laying around,
they would like to get a few bucks out of..
Say, anyone have an earlier, "Microsoft BookShelf" for this fellow?
See how easy that was. :-):-)
I use mine all of the time. It will operate out of windows.. If you
use any of the Windows word processors, then Microsoft Bookshelf can
be brought into it, and used as you are editing a letter or report.
It works great here on my system..

Now that the 95 edition is out, the 94 edition has really dropped in

There MAY be a solution for you. A lot of the time, what is being first run is

You make a ribbon cable with multiple connectors, and set the drive

You should have 2 /D: on the MSCDEX command line, one for each drive..
/D:pana /D:SCSI etc
and of course 2 seperate driver calls for each drive in the config.sys
with matching /D:'s

I'm having problems with Myst crashing on me after about 30 minutes
of play. It starts to slow way down and will eventually bail out. I
wondered if anyone else has had the same problem, and if so how did you
fix it. I'm using the Windows version on a 486dx-33 with 4 Megs of ram.
I would appreciate any input. Thanks.

They change, but you have to pull harder. Pull them all the way down. Thus
puzzle is very easy. Try some combinations and you'll find it.

This is the same, click on it and drag (like Windows) the safe open. You'll
find a matchbox.

I think it is....

I had this exact problem. I solved it by removing the top and bottom
panels from the drive. It seems that the original oil if any, on the
gears under the cd deck had dried up. In any case there was too much
friction between the gears for the little motor to turn the cd. Get
some light machine oil and with a tooth pick, apply very, very, very
small dabs of oil to the surface of the gears. Then run the drive to
distribute the oil. I also added a light film to the tray rails. Be
careful not to get any oil on the top of the cd deck. Everything is now
back working normally.

Caro Erasmo, com vai, tudo bem?
Entao vc e professor da Faculdade de Educacao?
Muito interessante, e qual a sua area? Filosofia?
Sabe que eu tive aulas de filosofia com um cara dai?
Eu achei muito interessante, e ele deve ser meio genio, pelo que pude
adivinhar.
Realmente, a solidariedade das BBS e algo fantastico! Deve ser um pouco como a
famosa solidariedade que existe entre as familias de radio-amadores, que sao
muito unidos tb.
Eu estudei ai na USP e adorei, e ai que da aulas, nao?
A proposito, eu tb sou professor, mas de carreira nao universitaria, mas em
entidade de classe da minha area. Gosto muito disso. Nao ganho nada, mas ate
hoje eu acho que aprendo muito e os meus colegas sao muito agradaveis.
Sinto-me util em poder ter contacto com colegas mais novos.
Um abraco de

I was asking, if that is a true price, I want to know more about what it is,
such as Manufacturer, Access Times (ms), Transfer Rates, Type of Hookup (IDE,

Anyone know of a good game that is capable of connecting thru a modem

I am looking for a flight simulator type game.
I just WASTED $40 ON FIGHTER WING. And was that a good waste of money.
I would like to find an arcade style game, not like Fighter Wing where
you have a cockpit view and all you see of the enemy is a box to shoot
at. I want to see my plane and the enemies plane in front of me, sort
along the same lines as NASCAR or INDY 500.

No, I'm sorry, but it didn't list a company by the name of Sound Galaxy
Pro. Is this name the name of the card or the name of the company. If he

Bell themselves. Sorry, but I don't have there number off-hand, but if you

You will need to get the corn kernel from the basket in the cave as well as the
clay pot. Also, you will need to plant the corn kernel in a damp area. The
picture writing on the statue tells you how to make fresh water. I hope that
helps.

I purchased a Pioneer DRM-602X Cd Changer about a month ago and I am having a
BIG Problem! I run a BBS and one day i went to use it and is said "File Not
Found". So i switched to one of the drive letters of the Cd Changer and hit
DIR. It just sat there. I heard the Cd Changer working (Noises and Such) so
I didnt know what was going on! Can anyone help me on this?
THanks a lot!
P.S.: I don't know how to write a message on here .. so i attached it to a
message already here .. sorry about that.

Monty was asked about his History CDROM....
EG> Montgomery, could you please give me the name and source of this CD?
EG> Others probably want it also so make it a public reply. Many thanks.
Yeah Man! Good Buddy,
The cdrom disc is call "US HISTORY on CD-ROM"
It is a "The Software Toolworks" production.
The address written on the back of the cover is:
The Software Toolworks, Inc.
60 Leveroni Ct.
Novato, CA 94949
414-883-3000
I have seen this disc listed in some of these Ad's on this echo.
I believe you might contack Mike Shannon here. He would be the first
one I would think of.. Or we could put it's name on this echo and
just ask...
"Any one have the above cd disc for sale???
Please advise such in a post...
When I saw it listed here, it had a very reasonable price to it..
Better then when I bought it, three years ago.. This one certainly
doesn't get outdated, as history seems to have stayed the same.
The books on this disc are very good.. It is not written in school
text. When I say that, I mean the historical accounts are not
censored. The writers tell the truth as it happened..
I just finished reading about President Johnson, the vice president
who took over when Abraham Lincoln was assasinated.
I was overwhelmed with his history... He got up in front of congress,
a few times, drunk and cussed everyone out.. In his offical position.
:-) Great historical stuff...
Let me know if you can't find it, and I shall get in on the hunt with
you.
Also have you seen any of the ZCI disc's?
They have some great historical ones.
I have two of theirs.. The JFK Assassination and The Encyclopedia of
The Lawmen & Outlaws of the old west..
These are great historical ones. The JFK has movies in it, it has
that only film of it, on it. The whole vesion, the whole Warren
commission report.. It has over ten thousand pages of information. I
believe something like eleven thousand photos..
It is the same with the Outlaw one, thousands of actual photographs
and twenty-six volumes of information.. Sound also..
I have spent hours with them...

Help bring this and ALL pirate BBS's to end!
Only one person cannot stop this rage. We all need YOUR help!
How can you help? Here is a list of things YOU can do:

I daisy-chained the CD-ROM drive to my SCSI hard drive which

I use the Future Domain CD-ROM driver (FDCD.SYS) which is part

JD> Thanks. Could I have those numbers again. Thanks.
Not sure which numbers you want, so here's the original post again.
Thought I'd pass along some info on the Toshiba 3501B 4X drive.
I ordered it from Empire International for $285(US) + $15 UPS COD 2nd DAY AIR.
Empire's number is 818-281-8628.
It comes BARE. No manual, no cables, no drivers.
Just the drive, one caddy, and tech support number.
I daisy-chained it to my HD and my Future Domain TMC-1680 and it works fine.
King's Quest VII reports 625 KPS throughput.
The only problem with the installation was with an outdated driver
but one call to Future Domain's BBS solved that.
Here are some BBS numbers that might come in handy for drivers:
Adaptec 408-945-7727
Always Technology 818-597-0275
Bustek/Buslogic 408-492-1542
Dist. Proc. Tech. 407-831-6432
Data Tech. Corp (DTC) 408-942-4197
Future Domain 714-253-0432
Toshiba recommends Pacific Interconnections at 800-706-0510 for audio cables.
They are FAST. I ordered mine on Friday and got the cable on Monday.
Not only that, but they shipped it out w/o prepayment.
On Monday, after I installed the audio cable, I sent them a check.
Just tell them what model drive and soundcard you have, and they'll
send the right cable.
Later,
-Becky

Sure... I'd take Return to Zork for it, but of course, I don't think that is

The drives came in on 02/03/95 and were all gone by 10:30AM on 02/06/95. We
should start getting them in on a regular basis, within the next 3 - 4 week,
but I don't want to make any promises ! As to them coming with controller,
these are BARE BONE drives and only reguire that you have an IDE enhanced
controller. Hope this helps... Later! Boris

If I'm not mistaken, the Aztech 286-031 is an enhanced IDE model, meaning it
probably came without a controller card. So what you should do is to connect it
to your harddisk controller as if it were a second harddisk, don't forget to
configure your harddisk as a 'master', usually done by switching one or more
jumpers on the device. The CD-ROM drive is normally jumpered as a slave,
factory-default.

Rob :-)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if my information is correct you should be able to
connect 3 types of CD-ROM drives:
Panasonic, Mitsumi or Sony. The SB 16 ASP should be equiped with those three
interfaces.

I assume your Mitsumi is an enhanced IDE model ? If this is the case, and
secondly if you connected it to your IDE controller directly behind your
harddisk, change the jumpersettings on your harddisk to 'master'.

Rob :-)

In regards to WC3, I was wondering if you had the same problem I am facing.
Well, I don't know if its actually a "problem", but it REALLY gets on my
nerves! Whenever the scene changes, like from going from Flight Control to the
Lift and subsequently to the Living Level or Bridge, it takes several annoying
minutes to load it up. That I can somewhat deal with, but what makes me scream
is the time it takes to load a mission. On the average, it takes about
12 minutes from the secong you click "Fly Mission" to when you are ready for
takeoff. It totally ruins the flow of the game. There are even times right in
the middle of a battle where it pauses for a minute or two to load more crap.
You know how annoying it is to be bearing down on a Vaktoth only to have the
stupid game pause for 60 seconds or more?!? All my hardware meets the
requirements so I don't know what the deal is. Did you have any similar
incidnets? If it wasn't for all the waiting, I would rate WC3 as one of the
best.

$250 might be a bit of a stretch! A recent review in the February
MultiMedia World magazine rated the Plextor 45C (I think that's the right
model number) and the Toshiba 3501B/E (B=internal, E=external model) as the
numbers 1 and two out of the four tested. It might be worth your while
picking up a copy of the magazine because in another section they
spec'd out 37 other quad speed drives (including price).
Based on this review, accolades and lack of problems reported for the Toshiba
in the CD-ROM conferences I'm now awaiting delivery of a Toshiba 3501 (couldn't
bring myself to spend the extra $180 for the Plextor). I've also purchased
a SB16 SCSI-2 that I'll use to connect the drive to (the SB16 SCSI has an
Adaptec SCSI-2 controller on board).
In Canadian dollars the best price I've seen on the Toshiba is $329 and for
the Plextor $589.

Ok Rick, I just checked the Mitsumi quad I have here. It came with
an audio cable, but it has a connector on the drive end that I have

I sell audio cables, but I don't have any extra ones like that. Did

Sony did... the drives that have the "part way" eject have been discontinued
for some time. Most of the ones you see in the kits were basically backstock
that the distributors bought for package deals. Check into the CDU-55E, which
has a fully motorized tray, true IDE interface (ATAPI), and it's 250ms compared
to 320ms the older drives did.
You'll find that most of the packages don't contain the latest and greatest
hardware, in fact many times they make the package to get rid of older stock.
I personally recommend against the multimedia kits, and to pick your own
hardware item-by-item.

It's checking the device. All device drivers are different, so no two load at
the same speed. CD-ROM drivers usually need to do some quick diagnostics to
verify the device is working correctly.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I would like to introduce you to 'Lucid Reflections'. It is a new magazine,
on CD-ROM, dedicated to the modelers who use 3D Studio. Lucid Reflections
has the same qualities as a normal magazine, such as, Letters to the Editor,
Software Reviews, Advertisements, Tips, Upcoming Products & Software, etc.
What makes this particular magazine different from others, is that the
magazine is more than a mere reference material. The CD-ROM is actually a
tool for modelers. Each quarter the CD-ROM contains 300+ ClipModels,
Material Libraries, Animated Materials, and Texture Maps, for use in your
creations. Also the CD-ROM contains a Subscriber Forum, where subscribers
can submit there work to our two Art Galleries, (Animations & Still Art),
the most unique Art Gallery yet. Subscribers can also submit .AXP's, .KXP's,
.SXP's, .PXP's, KeyScripts, Meshes, Tips, Secrets, and Materials of their
own. All subscribers can benefit from each other's ideas. What other
magazine can offer this much?
If you would like ordering information for Lucid Reflections Magazine,
call 201-952-0198, and please leave your name with mailing information. The
information will be mailed promptly! Thank you.

His computer is NOT a Packard Bell, so I do not know how much support they

Hi Damien!
I see it takes awhile for message traffic to reach Australia <g> .. I long
since figured out the above problem and reached DOOM II level 30 "Icon of
Sin" over a week ago. No luck. I have been stuck there ever since. It
seems nearly impossible to beat. I hear that there are 32 levels to DOOM
II and that at level 30, shooting rockets into the portal is the answer,
but getting even one rocket much less three into the portal is near
impossible itself, so for me level 30 may be the end for me in DOOM II.
BTW .. have you played DOOM I ?? I have it as well and am similarly stuck
at level 9 in what appears a no win scenario in the last level. Is there
any solution after you step on the pentagram into pitch darkness?
In either version I have *not* used cheat codes up to this point so I
hesitate to do so now. I figure if one uses cheat codes, what's the point
of playing the game .. however, I am nearing that point just to see the
other side <arrrrrrrgghh! grin>.

Hello All!
What is the best CD-ROM Controler for the Pioneer DRM-602X CD-ROM Changer?
I already tried Transtor T160 CD-ROM SCSI Controller and the Future Domain's
TMC-1610M CD-ROM SCSI Controller, it still won't work. :(
Please help...

Hello Leigh,
I dont think it's the problem because before installing this drive I read all
the manuals and I know that everything is in order. I think the problem is
the CD-ROM SCSI controller, right now I want to know what is the best SCSI
controller for this CD-ROM drive.
Thanks for the tip.
Edward.

We have 2x drives at work, Montgomery. They seem pretty slow to me when

You can set up these changers so they can be accessed by all your nodes. The
best way is to get a program that will take the file(s) off the cd and put them
on your hard drive and start the download and then release the cd for use by
other nodes. I'm not familiar with the name of such programs but if you browse
a few cd's you should find them. Another thing you may want to know is that
there is software that will assign a 6 disc changer to a single drive letter
thus allowing more drives than you have drive letters available.

Cream of the Crop 6 contains 634 megs of the highest quality
shareware released between Aug 94 and Jan 95.
Cream of the Crop 6 is still THE MOST up-to-date shareware cd
rom disc available with an average file date of 11-1-94.
Pier 6 is in second place with an average file date of 10-31-94
Sapphire (Vault) is in third place with an avg date of 10-26-94
Monster Media 95 is in fourth place with an avg date or 10-21-94
Cream 5 is in fifth place with an average file date of 8-10-94
There is a utility included with Cream 6 that will format the
file descriptions to satisfy ANY BBS requirement! AND if you run
Maximus, ProBoard, Spitfire, RA, QBBS, TBBS, RBBS or TAG there
are specific utilities that can ABSOLUTELY set up your bbs
faster than a caller can dial your bbs and start a download! If
you run any of these boards you can TOTALLY set up Cream 6
within 28 seconds from the time you inset the cd in your drive.
This includes configuring your bbs file database to include the
path to the files on the cd, the path to the descriptions, the
description of the categories and in most cases the security
level a caller must have in order to gain access to the files.
This 28 seconds ALSO includes the reformatting of multi-line
descriptions to satisfy the specific format (including control
characters) required by the bbs. There is NO other cd that has
such extensive bbs support - NOT even close!
Cream 6 -- $18.75 -- Shipping is $1.25 and c.o.d. is $5.

I'm using a T160 and 2 DRM-602X's. Had them up and running in 15 minutes except
when I installed the second drive and received the wrong cable. "it still won't

Did I get you right? You think all these commercial messages are belonging
in this echo? I don't know what echos are available in the United Staates
but here in Germany these messages are belonging in a "For Sale" echo. As
far as I know there sale-echos for CD-ROM's. That is the right place for
all these messages. I think this echo is for questions an dicussions about
CD-ROM's and CD-ROM drives.

You'll have to talk to the boat owner. He'll pause after opening the door and
saying something rude to you. Take this opportunity (quickly!) to speak to
him. Careful placement of the "speak" icon is necessary. Then he'll let you
in and you can get a rabbit's foot. Take it to the pawn shop owner, and you
will be on your way.

GH> That's all,
That is a difficult question to answer. There are so many...:-)
Generally any of the better known ones are very good:
Simtel
Cream of the Crop
Pier
Night Owl
SoftWare Vault
You can't go wrong with any of those:
Most of them are about the same with file contents but the exception
to this rule in my list would have to be the Simtel..
It is designed more in the line of utilities. They don't have any
games. And another point: Most of all of the other disc's lean toward
new files. Whereas Simtel will have older ones on them.
The reason is:
Every now and then, a program will come along which is a darn good one
and in the passing of time, no other progrom of that kind will be made
which is an improvement on it. So Simtel will keep it in their
collection.
I have found files on the Simtel disc's which were created in the
eighties and they are great programs.
I don't believe you will go wrong in getting any one from the above
list. I imagine one would buy a cd which might have the type of files
which your BBS might lean toward..
What I mean by that: I have seen BBS boards which have a thyme toward
them. Such as as Games... So a game disc would seem best for it..
Good Luck

CD-ROM Review: InfoMagic "CICA-Windows"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
NOTE: This a corrected posting of the review. The initial review had
an error and it was posted before the error was caught.
"Open a Window, somebody!" is one of the first things I thought when
I looked at shareware CDs. InfoMagic has thrown up the sash but it's a
bit of a Good News/ Bad News situation.
First, the Good News:
Many publishers of large collections of shareware, information files,
and the like seem to treat the CD-ROM as just another disc drive. They
collect programs and text files, burn a CD and ship it, leaving users
to treat it as just that, a huge disc with one heck of a pile of
directories and compressed files. Few seem to concern themselves with
the user interface.
The first notable exception I saw was Night Owl's three-way interface
with its straight DOS reader, nice DOS-based GUI, and a Windows GUI
that, while it surely works well enough, presents users with rather
small, black-type-on-grey, windows. I'm sure it's not the only
shareware CD with an attempt at a sharper interface but, until now, it
was the only one I'd seen.
InfoMagic, on the other hand, has opened the window wide. There are a
few problems, none so bad as to make me want to abandon the CD, but
noticeable problems. Most noticeable, though, for an ordinary user
like me, is that everything is readable through a front end that
should become a standard style. It's a Windows interface appropriate
to a Windows shareware CD.
It's big, open, and intuitive to even a slightly experienced Windows
user. It really looks a lot like a Windows Help file and works much
the same way. It probably should since it uses MicroSoft's Multimedia
Viewer according to the "About..." under the Help menu. At startup,
you get a half-screen-sized list of directories. Sliding the mouse
cursor over them, you notice it turn into the familiar Windows hand as
it passes over each directory name. Click and that file list appears
in another half-screen window> . Slide the cursor over the filenames
and the hand invites you to select. A click opens a Windows-style
dialog box with file list boxes for documentation and executable files
and options to View Documentation Files, Run Executables, Install...,
or close the window. If your selection contains text or document files
only, the window shows a Copy files button instead of Run Executable
Files.Both windows at the Directory select and File selection levels
expand to full-screen.
Unusual in itself is that all the files are uncompressed and most
will run directly from the CD; no need to copy, uncompress, install,
and then try in the usual shareware procedure. That's in most cases;
not every program will run that way but most I tried did. This little
trick adds a new dimension to the try-before-you-buy shareware
concept.The trying is easier. Because everything is uncompressed,
InfoMagic CICA Windows comes on two discs.
Now for the Bad News:
The folks at InfoMagic created a custom .DLL file for their new CD.
Unfortunately it doesn't recognize that you have complied when it
tells you to change discs. You can get out of the problem by
addressing the CD-ROM drive via File Manager. After that, everything
works fine again. Chatting with Kim Goldberger and Ken Burger at
InfoMagic, I found there is a patch available by FTP at
boris.infomagic.com. I surmised from that same conversation that
InfoMagic will supply it for those lacking FTP access. I coul> d be
wrong about that so it would be best to call and ask.
Another problem surfaced during my uninhibited play with the CD.
Large, multi-file text collections somehow were listed in the Program
Select window as separate directories for each part. That turned out
to be a glitch in the front-end build program InfoMagic used to build
their listings. It apparently failed to distinguish adequately between
file names within a directory at CICA and separate directories. What
should have happened was one directory (for example, BIBLE20) should
appear with a large number > of files. Instead, it shows as several
separate choices and the dialog boxes show no files in the directory.
The files are all there and can be copied via File Manager but they
don't show up correctly on the selection listing.
And another thing... When you select a program, the options window
doesn't always display all the files associated with your selection.
I'd be happier with a complete listing of all the files that go with a
given selection. As it is, you get some files listed with extensions
of .TXT, .DOC, .WRI, and .EXE but a "Total files in directory" box
with a big 20 or whatever in it. Files with .CRD or some other
extensions don't appear. Especially when I select a program, I can't
help but wonder just what those othe> r 10 or 15 or 17 files are and
what they might do to my WIN.INI or other control files. That's an
occupational hazard of trying shareware, I guess, but I'd like to know
just what's in there before I click Install or Run Executable. I've
spent too many hours de-installing programs and searching for whatever
vile alterations they inflicted on my control and configuration files
to accept another program blindly ever again.
When I selected file BW2-31-2, a Best of Windows Shareware selection
in the MISC directory with a .TXT and a .WRI file, trying to read the
.WRI file locked up Windows Write and it took a CTRL-ALT-DELETE to get
out. Ironically, the .TXT file was a note about how bugs in the .WRI
file had just been fixed. OOPS! That's probably not InfoMagic's fault
but it gave me a chuckle.
Shareware providers would do a great service by including a warning
of impending control file changes upon a user's first starting
installation as well as in the, often ignored, README files. InfoMagic
and their colleagues would do another by including some sort of .INI
file protection on their CDs.
Those small problems don't, in my mind, outweigh this CD's being a
very nice first effort at building a better interface for the genre.
The problems should be cured by the next release and they don't
prevent using the CD or the shareware at all. The small inconvenience
of having to revert to the old way of copying big text files doesn't
really overshadow InfoMagic's improved interface or the convenience of
having all uncompressed files.

CICA Windows CD-ROM
(November 1992 Edition)
Reviewed by Tony Thomas
The new CICA Windows disc is a welcome surprise because it is quite an
improvement over the old version. First of all, one of my complaints
about the last version was that there was a lot of free space on the
disc.
On the new disc, this space is effectively utilized by providing
zipped *and* unzipped versions of each program (in their own
subdirectories). This eliminates the need to copy and unzip programs
to try them--a tedious process in Windows! Also on this disc is a new
Windows NT directory. Although it doesn't contain much (mostly
zip/unzip utilities and the like), it is a nice addition since NT is
only in beta release.
Those who reveled in the infamous CICA "shareware" font library on the
last version will find it to be pared down considerably. It has been
determined that many of the fonts once there were pirated and
converted copies of copyrighted fonts and thus illegally posted.
Two lingering critiques: I wish that the DESKTOP and UTILITIES
directories were divided into subdirectories by category. That would
make finding various types of programs much easier. This disc also
contains the VIEW.EXE program which I feel could be improved upon.
Windows users will find the CICA collection to be an invaluable "must
have" resource.
I give it:

Hi David!
Friday February 10 1995, David Ryder Said to Rick Graham:
RG>>> i just purchased a Mitsumi 4X ATA IDE Internal from CDW and was
RG>>> sent a SB 16 MCD Soundcard. Two days of hair pulling and 2
DR>> Why not just use your hard drive IDE card and connect the
RG>> The VLB controller card has no other IDE connections available;
RG>> and a tape backup accellerator off it. AND the audio cable that
RG>> came SB 16 didn't match the connection on the back of the Mitsumi
RG>> 4X.
DR> Ok Rick, I just checked the Mitsumi quad I have here. It came with
DR> an audio cable, but it has a connector on the drive end that I have
DR> never seen before.
Are you talking about CDROM audio connection on back of the unit or the 40pin
ribbon cable. It appears the 4X Mitsumi has a bastard plug-in for an audio
cable on the CD itself. The cable that was sent with the unit and the SB 16
audio cable were exactly the same but neither would fit into the back of the
CDROM.
DR> I sell audio cables, but I don't have any extra ones like that.
DR> Did one not come with the drive? The drives I received from the
DR> distributor each came with an audio cable.
All I recieved from CDW for $225 was a no boxed, buble wraped CDROM with an
audio cable that wouldn't fit the unit, an installation disk and a very lousy
10-15 page of "how to" install that essentially said, "Turn off power, take
cover off computer, screw in, attach cables, put cover back on and install
software." -No- technical info at all. After two soundcards I sent the thing
back. I did get the right (I think) audio cable from Aurora but the card was
junk. It went back also. I can afford to wait on Toshiba or Plextor to drop
their prices...I *thought* I had to have a CD, but the Mitsumi mess has sent me
back to the drawing board and Comp. Shopper.
I'm sure MTM is a good unit because too many people have successfully installed
and configured the 4X, but their tech. support and sales are a different story.
I called both places begging for info and / or a spec. sheet but here it is 3
weeks later and I've heard or recieved nada from them. This are the things
that customers or 'would be' customers remember.

When I got your message, I immediately sent you an answer by netmail, but
our BBS had some trouble in getting netmail out and in getting the CD-ROM
echo in, so I don't know if you got my answer or not and if you sent me an
answer or not.
Now we are getting the CD-ROM echo again and I am trying to contact you
again.
I still would like to get the above CD-ROM, and your price sounds acceptable.
My fax number is +81-429-63-9011, and my address is

Would you please send me a message here with the price and your address, or
send me a fax or a postcard?
Then I could send you the money by Postal order (much cheaper than by bank
and very reliable).
Thanks.

You could set up two RAM drives of minimum size, then your CD-ROM drive will
be F:. When you don't need the CD-ROM to be drive F:, you can get rid of
the RAM drives again. I have done this with a freeware RAM drive which can
be reconfigured from the C prompt with very good results.

The extensions you are referring to is the MSCDEX.EXE file needed to let
your DOS hook up with your CD, so to speak. You already are using this,
otherwise you could NOT access your CD. The call for this file is in
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Also, the version of the MSCDEX file you use,
depends on what version of DOS you run. As far as your sound not
working on your Encyclopedia, this probably would NOT be related to
MSCDEX, but setups from the program to your sound card.

Chris,
You asked . . .
CK>"These discs are mastered in ISO-9660 format with Rock
CK>Ridge Extensions to preserve the long mixed case filenames
...
CK>So i guess my question is, how do i know if my CD-ROM
CK>(Mitsumi LU-005S), supports Rock Ridge extensions??
It's not whether your drive supports Rock Ridge extensions, it's whether the
software you're reading the CD with supports them. In the case of the Linux
CD, DOS (or WinDoze) will see '8.3' filenames, but if you actually had Linux
loaded and looked at the same CD you would see long Un*x-style filenames.
I believe that on that particular CD, in each directory there is an 8.3 file
with a list of the mapping (for that directory) between 8.3 filenames and long
filenames.
Cheers,
Pann

At this time only SCSI CDROM still use caddy. The rest of them is

but I dont know about 2x speed work with 1x speed.
However if you buy the 4x Mitsumi or 2x Sony which hook via IDE
controller as slave of your hard drive then it will work with your
Panasonic. Provide that you have only one hard drive or have controller

I have a quickie question for you. I noticed the Wearnes CDD-120 you

the 110 also IDE, like the 120? If so could I run it in chain with my
IDE controller (as if it were a second drive, sorta like chaining a tape
backup into the mfm floppy line?)
If you know, please let me know. If you don't but you know of someone
that does, let me know how to contact them. Thanks....

It's the full title of a program called MSCDEX.EXE. You should have

If you hunt, you can get jewel boxes for $0.50 a go, in lots of 10.
There are computer flea markets here in the San Francisco area most
weekends. You can usually pick them up at one of those. I'd imagine
that there has to be something similar in your area.

well I don't think you really can compare the two becouse they are so
different... and if you are talking about using the same screens over and over
Under a Killing Moon uses some of the same clips just the same like walking
around from building to building... that is what is repeated in Wing III so
what are you saying exactly is repeated in wing iii becouse that is about all I
can remember that repeats itself is the walking araund cut scenes...
I loved the game even bought the 100 dollar premeir addition with all kinds of
stuff like soundtrack video poster.... ya get the point ...anyway the game play
is arcade/flight sim of the future and although some aspects were slow if you
have a good machine you can't complain much
I do admit though that there are a good bit of bugs - and one thing really
buggy somtimes was the comm...
I am sure you know what I am talking about - anyway how far are you in the game
It is huge - probably really larger than Under... becouse of such large video
commpression anyway It is hard to compare the two... they both kick butt and I
have yet to see an equal in genre for either ... give me some feedback becouse
I am tired of typing and will of course say more later...
Good to hear from someone... SeeYa...

Hey Michael Under a killing moon is good but Wing III kicks butt - you can't
really compare the two becouse although Wing III incorporated a little of the
adventure/interactive move aspect into the game (let me rephrase that It is an
interactive movie) -the game though is really a flight sim/arcade game that
blows anything else out of the water... You need a kick butt system - I am
running it on a DX2/66 with a 64bit video card and everything else is required
(hint you really need 32 bit HD access or you can go to sleep wile it is
loading) one of the coolest things is being able to fly into space stations and
capital ships - another is that you can target individual guns of a capital
ship and disable it before you go in for the Kill - Check it out it is great

Best one is EZROM20.ZIP and it's only $25.00 for the Registration, I have 20
CD's and 3 drives. All 5 nodes can use this door at the same time.
I rotate the 20 disks weekly, so there is always 3 On-Line, the rest you can

I know a very good one. Try ACES OF THE DEEP from Dynamix. It's quite new

IS> I believe you can pick up cheap IDE CD-drives due to their
You will need more expensive SCSI version since IDE is specific to
IBM type. I know some other CPU type has IDE due to cheap HD, chances
are very small. Even SCSI CD might not work depending on if your
system can handle it or not.

Hey, you don't know me... but there is a way to change the CD drive
letter without using the SUBST command:
In your autoexec.bat file, find the MSCDEX command
If there is a /L:D, then change it to /L:F, if not, then add one that says
/L:F, because your CD-ROM is just picking the next available drive letter
otherwise. That should solve your problem.

We _are_ talking about an IDE interface, aren't we?
How can there be a "first" and a "second" drive on the IDE cable?, both drives
are in parallel, and how could that affect the speed?
I'm just trying to unnnerstand here...

Panasonic have a CR-503-B SCSI drive made by Matsushita make sur you
get the drivers from Creative Labs.
I have tried to get drivers for this CD for my PAS16. I have 2 Drivers

Wayne,
If you have a FAX board, take a very black ink pen, fax your
signature on a piece of white paper a few times (leave some space
on all sides of each sig.) then FAX it to yourself. When you get
it, most FAX programs will allow you to save cut a part of the
FAX to the clipboard. When you have done that, save it. I'm not
familiar with AmiPro, so you may have to download a utility to
convert the saved image to a format AmiPro can use, but that
shouldn't be too difficult. I use my FAXed signatures all the
time.

Does both model come with the bass driver? I also need to know the weight as I

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,
1995, we will give you an extra 25% off, so your final price will be
$29.96! That's an incredible 50% off the retail price!

You won't need any extra software to use a cd-driver. When you get a
cd it has an install disk with it. This is just a device driver and
mscdex.sys file. The install disk will put it on your hard drive.
Your cdplayer is just like your hard drive. It is just another drive
letter. My cdplayer is F: If I want to go to the cd I just type F:
Just as if I wanted to go to my A: drive.
Cd disc's have their own running program on them. Just like any
software. Lets take Windows.. It has the Win.exe file.. and you
type it in, and you go into windows. A cdrom disc is just like your
window program. It will have it's own .exe file on it.
You will find many cd disc's which will run through your windows
program. You load it up just like you do any of your other window
programs..
Many of them will install a small interface program on your hard
drive. They will even put an icon in your windows. When you want to
play the cd. You put that disc in the player and hit the icon in
windows program file and your cd's program will play..
If you have a sound card the sounds will come through..
Don't worry about your equipment. I ran cd disc's when I had an XT
computer, with only 640 kbytes of conventional RAM memory..
I also ran it with my 286 AT.
When you get your cd driver, there will be instructions in the box..
It really is simple.. What I did last time was to buy my cd player at
wal-marts and paid a technician at a computer shop ten bucks to
install it for me. I just didn't feel like fooling with it. But I
have installed two others in the past.
Good Luck.. and quit worrying about it. You will love it..
Its great..

I am still at it. I have been back to the pawn shop and talked with
that fellow until we just repeat ourselves. I ask "how bids the day"
and he saids. "nothing that a little purchase will take care of."
But I don't have any money. I traded my only coin, the one I found in
the box under the plank. So I can't buy anything, I have the
nightengale in my suitcase..
I have been back to the boat on numberous occassions. I keep getting
the same run a round from that jerk.. Each time I come to the boat
dock area, he is out on the deck, fooling around with something, When
I get closer, he goes down into a large hole in the deck. I go to the
that hole, and a sign pops up and tells me I don't want to go down
into that dirty old hole. I go to the door, and knock, the man comes
and tells me the ferry is down, and slams the door, I knock again and
he yells at me, that he has already told me he isn't in business. And
why am I still bothering him. If I had control of the dialog, I would
tell him a thing or two... When he is hat the door, I can't get my
little talking symble on him, very good. I keep hitting the rope or
mast or some other object. The area there is very small and cinfining.
But I will go back to the book store and talk with that fellow some
more.
DF> Get the nightingale for now, you will need it on the Isle of Wonder.
I have it. And am waiting to see the Isle of Wonder. :-) Heck, I am
willing to look at anything other then those five scenes, which I have
already about two thousands times.
You might be interested in knowing, this is my first game. And I am
not very familiar with the "know how" of playing them. But I am not
going to quit. I am in for the fight.. til the end. I 'll wear out
the files before, I give up.. I guess it wouldn't be a great idea for
me to buy too many of these games.
Actually the way it is going with this one, one should last me a long
time. :-)
DF> I am farther along and have still not been in that house. Not sure
DF> what I have to do there yet.
I am glad for you. But keep your eyes open. I should be coming up

Sorry. I can't advise you on the game. But I am in the begining of
King's Quest 6. (It is my first large game attempt)
I was wondering if you might give me your impression of Ver. 7. I saw
it at Wal-mart the other day and I am seriously considering on buying
it. (for when I finish 6... or should I say.. "IF" I finish 6. :-)
How is the graphic's.. My six is on disks. But I noticed 7 was on a
cd disc. (I own a cdrom player) I traded for this KQ6.
Good Luck in your journey...

Yes, I see your point. If you have seen the doubles work, and you
have alot of data to access, them maybe the four speed is the way for
you to go.
I just use mine for Shareware disc's and my double speed does a good
job. All of mine have interface programs and they copy over to my
hard drives in just a few seconds.
I have a few of those enclyclopedias one (spelling???) and I was
amazed at the difference in the speed of it, when I upgraded my RAM
from four megs to eight. I guess speed can make a difference.
I have been lurking in the CDROM echo for months and many of the
posters there have suggested that folks hold off from the four speeds.
But as I have never used one, I can't really say.. I have never
wanted to go slower in any of my equipment after I have upgraded. I
have never regretted it. But I believe most of these echo advisers
were talking mainly about Shareware disc's.
I imagine the CD's will be becoming more popular as time goes on. It
seems to be heading in that direction. I believe as more and more
people get the CD drivers, these big companies will be placing their
programs on them. Thus, Cd Drivers will be more and more important to
us users.
I am heading toward a faster motherboard and larger hard drives. But
after that, I may have to look at the faster cd drivers..
Good Luck..

But as a re-seller, distributors expect me to know how to handle
this stuff and price my goods accordingly to provide that service to
my customers. Unfortunately, the marketplace has become such that
very few people purchase with service in mind, and look for the
lowest price they can get, even where it involves absolutely no
service.
I have referred to this previously with Canadian customers that buy
from Future Shop. We purchase from the same distributor, but in
different volumes. I provide installation and setup and charge
more, they provide nothing except the product in a box. I read
the complaints about them almost daily, but the purchaser points out
how he saved $10.00 on the price, while he grumbles away about their
service.

Sorry to butt in, but my experience may be of help.
Here are my time delays:
Flight Control to Lift - 2 sec. (9 sec w/transitions enabled)
Lift to Bridge - 2 sec. (15 sec w/transitions enabled)
BB> That I can somewhat deal with, but what makes me scream

My time:

BB> You know how annoying it is to be bearing down on a Vaktoth only to have

This would be bad, but I've never had any pauses DURING the
dogfights or battles.
While flying a mission and I press "A" for next waypoint:
If no enemy at next waypoint - 5 sec.
If enemy at next waypoint - 25 sec.
This kinda takes the surprise out of enemy encounters, but still
a wonderful game.
My system:
486DX2-66 w/20 megs of memory
SCSI II 4X CDROM drive w/256K cache
SCSI II hard drive
Smartdrv loaded for hard drive, but not for CDROM drive.
Maximum game files installed on hard drive during setup.
Hope this info is of some help.

Mine is a CDU 6201-10 and probably won't have identical/interchangeale drivers.
The Sony BBS should have the driver for both MS dos and OS/2 dos. And you are
right about just MSCEX. It is only an extension to MS DOS which allows a cd to
be used as a drive, but is not the specific driver itself.

Subj: [cd-rom Review] dak bundl Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I received my DAK CD-ROM bundle yesterday and finally got around to
installing it today. I opted for the faster and more expensive ($399)
bundle which includes Microsoft Bookshelf, Family Doctor and Battle
Chess. The external drive is an OEM Sony CDU-6201 (with a BSR brand
logo) with an 380ms seek time and 150K data transfer rate.
I also ordered the Bonus bundle #2 which includes Microsoft Small
Business/Stat Pack, Time Almanac, US History, Magazine Rack and Bible
Library. At $149, an unbeatable deal. I was especially pleased that
it took about 1/2 the promised 5-6 week wait to receive it (they are
heavily back-ordered.)
The installation process is simple: install the software, install the
card and attach the cables and you're in business. The amount of
documentation that came with the bundle is quite impressive--there are
about 13 different booklets (about a 3 inch stack!) that describe
every nuance of the hardware and software. Many sortcuts, examples
and helpful hints are included in the manuals along with fine
tutorials in the DAK tradition.
An equally impressive number of installation disks (including MS/Sony
CD-ROM extensions) and some nice touches like a nice audio CD playing
program and a Windows-like CD-ROM launcher program that can also be
used as a simple DOS Shell as well as 3 pricey CD carriers are also
included.
Drew A. Kaplan (whose initials spell D.A.K.) has done it again! While
the CD-ROM drive is far from cutting edge technologically, it is
especially fast and sturdy (especially compared with drives included
in such low cost bundles) and seems to deal well with graphics and
text retrieval, although I don't know how well it would work for more
demanding multimedia applications. The software bundles are
impressive and useful with very little (if any) "filler". Consdering
the cost of the software alone, it's like getting the drive for free!
All in all, an exceptional bargain that lives up to its hype.

CD-ROM Review
Aris Entertainment's Deep Voyage
by John P. Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
This Aris MediaClips (TM) CD must have been designed to make divers
jealous; it certainly did me. Bonaire, Truk Lagoon, Florida, the kelp
forests off California, AARRGH! I wanna go! What's that, Honey? We
don't have enough bucks? Figures! Well, back to mud-diving in the
potholes of Northeast Ohio. (Sigh!)
But seriously, folks.... As a casual SCUBA diver, and one who wishes,
just wishes, (!) he could travel the world signing himself onto dive
cruises and his wife onto horseback adventures, I found Deep Voyage
mouth-watering, just mouth-watering. Most of those exotic places read
about in dive magazines are here, full-color and realistic enough that
you want to bring a towel. The photographer(s) did a good job here and
underwater photography is not point and shoot.
Do I sound impressed? You bet! I'm not one to be gratuitously harsh
_or_ complimentary but this clip collection is just plain classy all
the way. I'm just going to have to find or make a program to flip
through these Aris pictures for a screen saver or wallpaper flipper.
It would be a nice change from the usual cartoons, flying appliances,
and so on.
And yet, I have somewhat against thee, Aris. I'd like more descriptive
filenames and a few more cross links in the text database. It's not
that one can't find a specific picture with the search program, but
it's a touch inconvenient having to take notes if wishing to go
directly to "that picture of the skulls in Truk Lagoon," for instance.
It's a minor gripe but noticeable nonetheless. If all you remember is
"bones" or Skeleton," you might have to work a bit finding a specific
image. Lazy? Me? Well, yes, and, as I said, it's a minor gripe after
all. Would I defer buying this CD for that? Not a chance!
The text information is adequate and includes enough to be somewhat
educational, even. It's no more exhaustive than you would expect in a
clip collection and you can always slip in the encyclopedia CD or go
to the library for more information. Multimedia producers who _do_
make educational programs would probably appreciate taxonomic names of
the fish, sponge, etc. pictures but the information is sufficient for
captioning an entertainment, popular lecture presentation, or
lower-grade-level educational offering.
This Aris offering is another good'un, clear, sharp pictures, adequate
informational text, and everything works. I'm coming to expect that
from Aris and that's what I, and, I imagine, every CD-ROM buyer,
wants. You want to put it in the drive, log into it, type "setup" or
"install" (or just double-click it) and get on with viewing. Well,
that's about how all the Aris MediaClip(TM) CDs I've tried have
worked, no-brainer installation for a minimal-brainer user. (in my
case) One shouldn't have to be a MAC, Windows, or DOS programmer to
use a product. It's nice to learn one's machine, but most PC users
now-a-days are users, not programmers. After all, who has to be a
metallurgist, blacksmith, and machinist to use a wrench? And who wants
to have to be? When I want to _work_ at using a computer, I'll dial my
UNIX account and play to my heart's content and my psychiatrist's
enrichment.
'Nuff said! SOAPBOX_MODE OFF. Back to the program.
As with all their MediaClips products, Aris addresses the buyer's
probable wish to do more than just view the images. They supply all
100 files in 8-bit 320 X 240 and 640 X 480 BMP and PCX formats, 24-bit
TIFF for use in high-res paint programs, and their audio in both WAV
and VOC formats. They also extend on-the-box permission to reproduce
up to 20% of the images sounds or videos royalty-free in print or
digital publications so long as the artists and Aris Entertainment's
copyright are duly credited.
Anyone wanting higher-resolution copies of pictures, movies, or sounds
can contact Aris Entertainment who will then put them in touch with
the artists so they can negotiate rights, etc.

Sorry, but I disagree with you there.
IMHO, this echo *should* be for people who are having problems with their
CDROMs, or need some sort of assistance, otherwise why the hell is there a
CDROMS FOR SALE echo????
Posting all these "for sale" ads is a complete waste of bandwidth, when there
is an echo *specifically* *for* those ads.
Why have them duplicated here?
I mean, out of a mail packet of 202 messages for this echo, 90+ of them were
either "for sale" ads, or "please send me your catalogue..." A lot of them were
dupes.
Fine, if someone is looking for a particular product, point the way. But I
think posting all these ads, and price lists is going too far. I say again:
That's what CDROMS FOR SALE is for.
If I wanted to know what the price of "Busty Bozoms" was, I'd d/load the damn
echo.
I d/load this echo, because I want to receive help from those people willing to
provide it when I need it, and to provide help when I can. (Which isn't often,
seeing that there are more boffins out there that me. :) )
Anyway, I think I can climb off my soap box now. ;)

"Who knows where to find the new drivers for the Mitsumi FX100D that are
supposed to allow CD video (CDi titles) to be read."
I think that's close enough. Unfortunately, I haven't a clue where to find
them, if they exist. ;)

There are procedures to moderating an echo, and taking over one that has gone
astray. Your solution does not follow them, and therefore is inappropriate.

Tim has been conspicuously absent as well. He needs to either reappear, or

Tim, it sounds like your dictionary didn't install "OKish"
enough. Try deleting the entire install, then cold-start the
computer and re-install fresh.
Pay attention while it installs, and note whether it seems to bog
down anywhere during the procedure. Also, if you get any
messages that look like they might be error messages, write them
down. If the program still doesn't work after the re-install,
you'll have something useful to tell Webster's tech support reps
when you call them.

Sounds like you are running out of memory. The slowdown happens when you
run out of real memory, and start going to the windows swap file.
Do you have 10megs total memory (real + swapfile) when you start? This
is the stated requirement.

I have no idea about this technology, but one possible way would be to
"invert" the sense of a CD-ROM: make most of it transparent, except where
you want to have a "bit", and you leave a tiny flake of substrate there.
Then, when you focus on a "lower" layer, the stuff on the layers in front
doesn't get in the way too much.

This is apparently already in the works. Current CD-ROM's use red
laser light: there's work in the pipeline to try a green laser light
CD-ROM which does have about double the capacity of a current one.
I dunno whatr the story is on this one, I read about it in a cd-rom mag a
month or two ago, and only remembered about it when I saw your message.

I have since just used optimize and it works just fine.

Thanks a lot Dave, from what you stated above, I tried to use
Xcopy with the /s command, (cd has a lot of directories) but for some
reason Xcopy would not copy to Nul...so I just copied it to my temp
directory....luckily I had enough room....and guess what I got an error
message about 3/4 of the way through the CD, so I guess that I can
deduct form this that the CD is bad, and get a replacement.... Thanks
again....I will continue to look for and try to acquire the sweep
utility that you mentioned though...seems that it would be a lot easier,
than what I did...did I say thanks yet......:)

I dont like using smartdrv for my dbl speed because it somtimes it slows

WC3 had so many glitches in the video while without it i only had one on

A double Hmmm, I have to install both. The Trantor 1st Then I install the
Pioneer ASPI driver. Come to think about it, the very first time I run the
Trantor install program, I had to make a correction to the Config.sys entry
that it made. This is why I showed you a copy of both my config.sys and

Montgomery Hounchell said to Larry Claybrook:
MH> I have been lurking in the CDROM echo for months and many of the
MH> posters there have suggested that folks hold off from the four speeds.
MH> But as I have never used one, I can't really say.. I have never
MH> wanted to go slower in any of my equipment after I have upgraded.
I'm the Systems Administrator in the Civil Engineering Squadron at an Air
Force Base, Monty. I have a 486DX/25 at home (a little over three years
old) but at work I just received my 486DX4/100, and there's a healthy
speedup with it. It spoils you, you see. Now I want to upgrade my home
machine to a Pentium.
I started over five years ago with DOS, and you get used to that positive,
quick screen when you run from the command line. Then along comes Windows.
I liked the pretty graphics, like everyone else does, but boy did I hate
the kludginess of the thing. The slowness. It took forever to build the
patience needed to put up with it. Today I can't get away from it because
all the Air Force programs are for Windows. The only solution is faster
hardware, and the faster the better. Pentiums would be nice but I'm
pretty happy with the 11 DX4/100s we just got in. They have 20Mb of RAM,
add-on video memory, internal tape drives and 17 inch Nokia monitors.
They sure beat the old 486DX/25s we were using. The speed gets in your
blood, you see? Especially when you're very busy and you need it.
MH> I imagine the CD's will be becoming more popular as time goes on. It
MH> seems to be heading in that direction. I believe as more and more
MH> people get the CD drivers, these big companies will be placing their
MH> programs on them. Thus, Cd Drivers will be more and more important to
MH> us users.
Almost everything will come on CDROMs, sooner than most think. And the
faster drive you have, the better off you're going to be. The reason I've
been holding off is because soon now there's supposed to be some 8Xs
released. I'm not holding off because I want to get one, just yet, but
because the prices will plummet on the 4Xs, presumably. Might drop 20 or
30 percent overnight. Just the nature of the business.
MH> I am heading toward a faster motherboard and larger hard drives. But
MH> after that, I may have to look at the faster cd drivers..
Once you do, you'll be hooked. Like I said, the speed gets in your blood.
Soon you'll be on a Pentium attacking the Kilrathi, in Wing Commander III,
and loving every minute of it. Good luck to you too, Monty.

I have played the game all the way through. Its a great game that I
thoroughly enjoyed. I can give you tips to help you along if I know
where you are stuck. I STRONGLY recommend that you avoid asking others
to just give you the passwords. They are all available in the game if
you know how to get them. You may miss a lot of the gameplay if you use
passwords before you've progressed enough in the game to obtain them for
yourself. Let me know where you are stuck, and I will try to give you a
tip to help you solve the rest on your own. In the mean time...

To open the safe, go to the library and line-up large tree with the red-
line on the wall map. Take the elevator up and read the plaque on the
wall 180 degrees opposite the elevator door. It will have the correct
combination on it.
To open the space ship door, you need to turn on some of the
constellation icons that surround the fountain. You also need to set
the power generators to the correct voltage. In the tower, you are
given three dates. Use them in the planetarium along with the library
books to figure out which constellations to activate. Let me know if
you are still having trouble and I will send you more.

$18.75 Cream of the Crop 6 $18.75
Average file date 11-1-94.
Cream of the Crop 6 contains 634 megs of the highest quality
shareware released between Aug 94 and Jan 95.
There is a utility included with Cream 6 that will format the
file descriptions to satisfy ANY BBS requirement! AND if you run
Maximus, ProBoard, Spitfire, RA, QBBS, TBBS, RBBS or TAG there
are specific utilities that can ABSOLUTELY set up your bbs
faster than a caller can dial your bbs and start a download! If
you run any of these boards you can TOTALLY set up Cream 6
within 28 seconds from the time you inset the cd in your drive.
This includes configuring your bbs file database to include the
path to the files on the cd, the path to the descriptions, the
description of the categories and in most cases the security
level a caller must have in order to gain access to the files.
This 28 seconds ALSO includes the reformatting of multi-line
descriptions to satisfy the specific format (including control
characters) required by the bbs. There is NO other cd that has
such extensive bbs support - NOT even close!
Cream 6 -- $18.75 -- Shipping is $1.25 and c.o.d. is $5.

The clues for this can be found in the library behind the bookcase and

Find the combination of power settings to get the necessary voltage (as

Thanks for your reply but the MTM has been returned to CDW. Lack of Tech.
Support and Product Information at MTM convinced me to shop around some more
and ask more Q:'s of the Tech. / Info of the next CD-ROM I purchase.
I'm sure I would have a different opinion of the Mitsumi 4X *if* I had been
able to get -any- assistance from the company/corp. I see there are quite a
few satisfied MTM 4X customers here, I just didn't get so fortunate.
Again, Thanks

But anyways, he's having problems. After loading all the drivers
neccessary to setup the CD-ROM, it just won't work. He gets a Drive Not

Being a musician of sorts, I read lots of mags like Electronic

boxes dirt cheap is to contact one of the CD reproduction
facilities listed in these mags classifieds--they can be as
cheap as .12 apiece in lots of 100. Also Computer Shopper has
a listing for cases from one source--.30 apiece per hundred and
they have COLORS--mix and match!

Hello, Gilles
Here in Brazil, many BBS use the CDs: CICA for Windows, Night
Owl's, Simtel for DOS. I don't know which one is the best for
you but try to use anything that none have.
Sorry about my englsh, and if you receive this mail please send

Introducing Japanese Pearls!!
BBS READY!!
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. Plus BBS READY File Lists!!
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

According to this month's issue of CGW, the games that would fit your
description (action) would be Falcon 3.0 and Wing Commander Armada... There
are others on the list, but most of them are strategy games. There are some
other action games, but they can only be played over a network (e.g.
Syndicate) BattleDrome is also modem playable, it's a 'simulator', but you use
a mech.

You need to go into cloak mode before you go to the spot that Hobbs &
the Prince are in. When you get close enough to Hobbs, uncloak and
blast him, then go after the Prince. You have to kill both of them
before you can go to the planet. Good luck.

light reflection, you need a layer that reflect only on kind of laser but let
all the rest pass through without any defraction (also the reflection will also
need to be prefect reflection), how is that possible. We are basically talking
about a mirror that only refelct one kind of light but let all others pass
through without any alteration in the laser color or wavelength, the reflection
of the lasers from inner layers will also need to be prefect, otherwise it will
not be sensed by the reciever. Talking about technical difficulties!!

Oh, yeah, I saw reports on that device too, pretty good idea. Now, we have to
wait for the price for such device to come down to a affordable level. Lasers
in a line will also reduce the access time needed for the CD-ROM dirves (since
the laser does not need to search each track anymore, instead of searching one
track at a time, several lasers can serach several tracks at the same time).
Pretty nifty device indeed!

Carlos, your message is off topic, but so is my reply.......
Have you tried a bare bones boot? (rebooting your computer and hold down your
shift key when the see the message "Starting MS-Dos". That's one way to free
up mem, or if you have a CD-Rom, have a bootable disk handy, copy you config
and autoexec files on it, but delete or REM out the start that loads your
CD-Rom driver.
That's two suggestion, but the best thing you could probably do is upgrade
to QEMM 7.5 mem manager..I guarantee you wont have a memory problems after
that.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I'm not sure if anyone answered this yet, but this is how (w/o
CHEATING!) you get to the secret levels in Doom II.
From Level 15:
1) You have to jump from the tower in the middle of the level that
houses the BFG onto a SMALL platform in the lava. Walk all the way
around the tower while looking at the map, and you'll see where you
need to jump to.
2) If you make it onto the platform, get the radiation suit, and hit
the switch. If you're looking at the switch; walk forward, into the
lava, past the switch, and into the tunnel that's now opened. Kill
the two Cacodemons, and get the invulnerability sphere (probably best
in the reverse order! Sphere first!)
3) Run the other way, past the platform, on the other side of the tower,
in the pit of lava. Look at the lava around the tower until you find
a Teleporter. Teleport.
4) Open the yellow door, and find the tunnel (on the left I believe).
There will be now another tunnel that has opened up. Walk into it,
and onto the white Teleporter, and you'll be in the secret level!
HINT: There's ANOTHER secret level, level 32, that you can only find
by finding the secret level in level 31. Any diehard Wolf3d fans
will be able to find all the secrets in L31, and make it to L32 with
their eyes close!! ;)
MEGAHINT: <this is getting stupid! <g>) There's ONE secret in the
L31 level, that's NOT in the Wolf3d E1M1 level. If you find it, a
Megasphere, BFG, DB Shotgun, and four backpacks will be yours.
If anyone could use it, I could always UUENCODE a GIF (or whatever)
of the level, and point out all the areas you need to go to; and then
upload it in a message.... Sound good?
If you need anymore help with anything in D1 or D2, ask. I memorize
these levels! (Pisses off all the people I play... ;) )

Maybe if the software makes the drive do small but many access movements,
you could be right.
Once a great deal of data is required per second, the 4x is twice as fast
(loading graphic files ...GIFS etc; program files, and last but not least,
installation from software on CDrom goes much faster e.g OS2-Warp or
Microsoft Office 4.3 on CDrom)

You're right, of course. Just running MSCDEX won't do it as it was
originally a dos extension that allowed using a cd rom with a pc clone
and needed a driver to do so. You might be able to acquire the correct

Well, it's actually pretty simple to do:
Edit CONFIG.SYS (assuming you're using ANSI.SYS from DOS).
change:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
to:
rem DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
That will disable it with a minimum of typing, and also w/ a minimum of hassle
to restore.
The procedure is actually identical if you are using a 3rd party TSR ANSI
driver, becuase the REM works in both Autoexec.bat and Config.sys.
This is ONLY if you are having problems with animation. If the game exits w/
error saying protection fault in QTTWIN.DRV or something, then will run fine
the second time, then you are having this problem. The animations are
disabled, because the windows quicktime driver on the MYST CD conflicted w/ 4
different ANSI drivers on my system. I had to disable ANSI before windows, and
use a TSR driver in each DOS window.
If this is not your symptom, then it is not your problem.
Try Clicking on the lever, DRAGGING it downwards, and then releasing it. It
should show the lever moving, then the numbers changing.
TTYL,
Rob

Look again in your box for this insert/order form.
If you have an internal scsi driver, the external interface adapter is only
$20. However, if you need to purchase a SCSI card, then you must pay $40 for
theirs, or get a different cable from another manufacturer.

CD-ROM Review: DeLorme "Global Explorer 1.0"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
De Lorme Mapping's Global Explorer is the armchair adventurer's
passport with plane tickets included. (It has a "fly" function where
you set up a destination and the display shows the distance and
routing, choice of two routes, with intermediate stops.) No
frequent-flyer miles, though.
Complex as it is, Global Explorer was surprisingly easy to learn. A
friend loaned me a copy for review; no manuals, just a CD in a caddy.
Less than an hour later, I was traveling the world.
It works very much like Street Atlas, magnification buttons in and
out, a quick revert to world or region view, map centering by mouse
click, etc. Some of its functions are appropriate to a world atlas'
broader requirements, though.
The Gazetteer function lets you type in a country, region, "province,"
point of interest, or other name and go directly there on the map. It
also displays a list of similar names that you can select by point and
click if you're unsure of the exact spelling. Each selection is
accompanied with a listing of what kind of object the name represents
and where it's located. One thing jumped out at me about those
listings; the United States is made up of States _not_ provinces.
DeLorme seems to have used "province> " as a generic name for
political subdivisions but, to me, calling the USA's States
"provinces" just grates a bit. The Gazetteer is also the starting
point for most of the CD's text information. Enable the "Country" box
and then click on the country desired and then the "Info" button. A
Windows Help-style box appears with profile information for that
country. Within that is an index of Country and Dependencies
Information.
The Fly function is intriguing. You can select any place as "here" and
any other (via the Gazetteer) as "destination." Click the "Fly" button
and Global Explorer tells the distance the trip will cover and will
show the routing on the map, complete with stops enroute and airport
codes. It will produce an alternate routing, too. The Direct Fly
function will show destinations with direct flights available from the
departure point.
Global Explorer's Street Find function is limited compared to Street
Atlas USA but, after all, there are a lot more cities to cover
world-wide. The really big cities are fairly complete. The function
only works at magnification level 12 or higher and most of the smaller
cities just aren't mapped at that level, effectively disabling Street
Find. Where it does work, though, it's the same as in Street Atlas USA
You enter the street name, click Search or Locate and the street is
highlighted on the map display.>
If you leave the Gazetteer's "Show" selection box enabled,
points-of-interest are shown by various iconic markers on the maps.
Passing the mouse cursor over these pops up an identifier flag and a
mouse click invokes either a short description or a selection dialog
that presents several such points to select by highlighting and
clicking.
Just for the fun of it, I tested Global Explorer by trying to follow
the so-called Pilgrim Trail religious pilgrims travelled in the Middle
Ages. Starting at Santiago de Compostello in Spain, I was able to
trace the route, cathedral, by basilica, by cathedral, all the way to
St.Denis, near Paris. Probably no one but a wannabee Art Historian
like me would do that but it showed me the program is pretty
comprehensive, at least in Europe. It seems all the other major
Mediaeval sites are there. By the time I finished playing around that
way, I had my latest term paper subject: CD-ROM Technology as
Textbook.
A few places seemed to be either shifted or misplaced from the
locations I remember them being but I'm not Geographer enough to be
sure. It's also possible I'm confusing their locations on Mediaeval
maps I've had to use with their contemporary political placement. I
did repeatedly try to locate Aix-au Chappelle, France before
remembering it is now Aachen, Germany again. Through history many
places changed names and countries depending on who won the previous
Spring's war. Some have criticized Global Explorer for misplacements
so it might be well to check another reference if there is doubt. I,
myself, wasn't quite certain of a couple of locations. Since I had no
chance to trek to a library, this is maybe, maybe not.
Overall, the program is impressive in appearance, runs well and
quickly for its size and complexity and seems like it would make a
good quick reference for Geography studies or travel planning, not to
mention just armchair adventuring.
System Requirements are: 386 or higher, VGA, 4 MB RAM, 3 MB HD space,
Windows 3.1 or higher, DOS 4.01 or higher, and mouse. There is no
sound card requirement since it uses no sound functions. I tested it
on a 486-25 system with 4MB RAM, SVGA, Windows 3.1 and DOS 6.

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

CD-ROM Review: Creative Multimedia's "Family Doctor"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
I had some problems getting started with The Family Doctor. After
fiddling a bit and again proving that I am emphatically not a DOS
guru, I called Creative Multimedia's Technical Support line. Not only
did they diagnose the problem with my system, they practically gave me
a quick course in system setup. I suppose a cynic might say they knew
they were working with a reviewer so they went farther than they might
normally go. I didn't get that impression. Steve and the other guys
spent more than four hours wi> th me over two days, much of that time
on their phone bill, not mine.
Reading README.TXT before installing is worth the trouble, especially
if you have Creative Multimedia's Who Killed Sam Rupert installed as
it and The Family Doctor aren't quite compatible. The file also
contains full de-installation instructions, a useful feature, since
this program does alter the control files Autoexec.BAT, System.INI,
Control.INI, and Win.INI.
In a time when "customer service" can be an oxymoron, it was
refreshing.
About the program: This is the first home medical guide program I've
seen. I know there are others, but this one landed on my desk first.
So it's getting the benefit both of my freshness to the genre and of
the skepticism of a wheelchair-riding MS patient who's seen more
doctors and gathered more medical information than he ever wanted.
The Family Doctor stands up well to both. The CD is a home medical
guide by the author of the syndicated column of the same name, Dr.
Allan Bruckheim, M.D., FAAFP.
Dr. Bruckheim has been doing this a while and it shows. The
information is current and much more complete than I would have
thought likely in a general-audience health guide. The amount of raw
information on this CD is astonishing. Dr. Brukheim and Creative
Multimedia have managed to include some 2300 frequently asked
questions, 300 color illustrations, a prescription drug guide with
1600 entries and pictures of many of their pill form, a nice human
anatomy guide with video and sound, a database on Rare Disorders, and
an animated First Aid Guide, (More on that later.) a resource list,
and a strong search program. You can print out all the files for
future reference.
Almost every selection provides pointers to more information and it's
worth the extra drag and clicks to check it. Many of the articles list
bibliographies for further research.
The CD installs easily in Windows, requiring only the usual Windows
Run "SETUP" procedure. It's a little slow starting up but no worse
than any CD with a big interface program. The interface might feel
slightly odd to Windows users. Pull-down menus work after the
Macintosh fashion, click, drag the highlight bar to your selection and
then release the mouse button. The menus don't stay down in the
typical Windows manner. I didn't consider that a fault, just
different.
At startup a nice opening screen appears with a quick-select guide to
the left, supplementing the text buttons on the main screen. On the
Main Screen, buttons for the program functions nestle on the right:
Introduction and Agreements -- contains the software license and Dr.
Brukheim's video introduction. (Be warned! Dr. Brukheim's speaking
voice, while pleasant is, ummm...shall we say...powerful?) The intro
supplies a good overview of the program and its use. The doctor
hasn't left anything important out and advice from the author, in this
case, is very useful.
Questions & Answers - This is the main body of the CD. (The Human
Anatomy section is _your_ body on the CD.) It contains some 2300 of
the medical questions Dr. Brukheim has addressed in his tenure as a
syndicated medical columnist. The amount of information here is
surprising. Many of the articles include pointers to other information
on the CD, usually available by a simple drag and click. Everything on
this disc seems to be linked to everything else that might be apropos.
The structure of the database gu> ides you from the more general ideas
or questions to specific issues virtually painlessly. You might go
through two or three screens to get to the exact question you want but
the program works quickly enough that it's worth the trip.
Rare Disorders - This is one of the more intriguing sections. There
are diseases explained here that may affect only a few tens of people.
(One I looked at had only 40 reported cases.) The articles explain the
conditions as fully as practical in a popular work and include many of
the other conditions that might mimic one of the truly rare ones.
Bibliographic pointers to medical literature enable further research.
Prescription Drug Guide -- 1600 commonly prescribed medicines are
listed by generic-name. You can find them by trade name using the
Search and Browse system. Many of the listings are accompanied by
pictures of the pill forms under the "Additional Information"
pull-downs. The listings include how prescribed and supplied, how to
take them, side effects and conditions they are usually prescribed to
treat. It's not the Physician's Desk Reference, but it's not as hard
to use or understand, either.
Basic First Aid - This is just what it says, a solid guide to handling
medical emergencies for the layman. It covers treating minor to
life-threatening situations. with solid advice on everything from cuts
and bruises to heart attacks, drowning, electrical shock, and
poisoning. Unfortunately, there's a glitch in the program that,
combined with my system's configuration, wouldn't allow me to run the
animations or sounds. It seems the .WAV files for this section were
recorded at a non-standard sampling rate and require a Sound Blaster
driver to run. Since my system uses all the low IRQs and the Windows
SB Driver 1.5 only addresses IRQs up to 7, I couldn't play the sounds
and the program warned me that I had no .WAV player capable of playing
this sound format. Creative Multimedia's> Technical Support folks
agreed that the non-standard sound format should have been caught and
that Windows Sound System users really shouldn't have to install an
additional driver to run this program, but its in there. I trust they
will resolve this in the 4th Edition. So I really can't do justice to
this portion of The Family Doctor. From reading only the text, the
information seems to be a pretty standard First Aid guide.
Resources - Listings of Associations and Foundations related to
medical concerns, listing of Educational and Support Groups, and a
collection of health-related booklets. This is a good source of places
to look for informational and support groups related to specific
conditions.
Illustrations - This contains some 300 .BMP files of informational
illustrations of Anatomy, Body Processes, the appearances of various
Diseases and Injuries, Medical Procedures, and Health & Social Issues.
The illustrations are clear and informative, well labelled and good
quality. They provide a helpful adjunct to the textual information,
putting a "face" on the data.
Anatomy of the Human Body -- Hmmm. Beauty really is only skin deep.
No, not really. I find the human body fascinating and this section
only reinforces that fascination. All the body's major systems are
shown with their organ placement. The movies that accompany each major
system division show them well, often in live action. You can choose
from three magnification levels and as the cursor touches an item, a
right button click activates a sound file that gives the correct
pronunciation for that anatomical t> erm. Even more detailed
illustrations are available in the Illustrations Menu by selecting
that section's Human Anatomy division.
Search & Browse - Here's The Family Doctor's power plant. So far as
I've tried, barring misspellings, I've been able to find everything I
wanted within a few seconds. you can search for a specific term, drug,
organ, or program item or any combination thereof with Boolean

operators available at a click-and-drag. Just for fun, I tried
"allergy," AND "penicillin." Bingo! I got a listing of 30 articles
covering these two items in combination in, apparently, descending
relationship to penicillin allergy, from a> naphylactic shock reaction
to penicillin to general information on allergies and including a list
of illustrations of various allergic reactions. I had a few "no
occurrence" messages from artificially complicated searches, but I was
_trying_ to beat the program with conditions you'd expect to find in a
serious medical textbook, not in a family medical guide. Search is
particularly handy for looking up medications. A trade name search
will usually find the article on that dr! ug quickly.
I would have been happier with Search if it highlighted the "hits."
Some of the references it yields seem a little obscure now and then.
I'd like to see an interface of this quality on Creative Multimedia's
"Audubon's Birds" and Audubon's Mammals" that I reviewed a few days
ago. This is what I had in mind when I criticized their using Disc
Passage on those CDs.

give you the plastic casing with the Cds, on Friday I bought

Subj: Re: SOFTWARE PIRACY Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
KH> --\ Software piracy on a large scale is ruining the industry!
KH> The Depths of Hell BBS is a good example of this tragedy!
KH> Help bring this and ALL pirate BBS's to end!
KH> Only one person cannot stop this rage. We all need YOUR help!
KH> How can you help? Here is a list of things YOU can do:
Some notes here about piracy. Granted, you are correct in getting this
BBS shut down. My guess would be that the SPA and the FBI would like to
know whats going on. Another point is that more and more titles are being
released on cd-rom media. How many people do you know have 3 to 4 gig
drives to run Wing Commander 3 on? Also, pirated software does not include
the 300 page owner's manual. One thing though, software publishers want you
to believe that pirating is the reason for tacking on a few bucks for
software. In essence, it is revenue that they are losing. It is my opinion
that the revenue that they say they are losing they would never reap in the
first place because users who are copying the stuff would have never bought
said software anyway. Pirating and so called "warez" bbs's have been
around since the vic-20 and the first Apple hit the public way back '79 '80.
It is doubtful that piracy will ever be eradicated. Authorities can't
police every user. But, they can crack down on the big bbs's that carry
the stuff. I'm sure that many people from your neighborhood software pirate
to your church preacher has shareware titles on his or her system.
Technically, after 30 days, that piece of shareware that your using should
be registered or, deleted from your hard drive. Like I said before, there
is a proliferation of cd's out because most publishers find it cheaper to
produce 1 cd compared to 10 floppies and, they can pack more data on to
cd's (660 megs worth). Of course, once cd writeable drives come down in
price (they are going around $2000 to $2500 now), pirating of cd's will
gain a comeback and the whole mess will start all over again. And, copy
protection (doc lookups) only ticks off paid users. Who feels like looking
up word 6, paragraph 7, on page 54. Its a real pain in the rear end. Yet
we're forced to live with some titles like that. And copy protection never
stopped any pirater anyway. Well, I get off my soapbox for now. Yes, you
can make a dent by getting bbs's having copyrighted software for d-load.
But, if you call the SPA about the guy down your street having a copy of
Lotus on his system that he didn't pay for, they won't do nothing about it.
Just my opinion.

The context of the original question specified "information content", so
while Encarta is overall the PRETTIEST of the CD-ROM encyclopedias, Grolier
is a lot superior for what the original poster was asking for.
All three of the "common" encyclopedias suffer from having to trade off
"information" and "multimedia" content - Encarta is more "multimedia",
Compton's is middle of that scale, and Grolier is more "information". Which
one you like better depends on what you're looking for....

Interesting theory, but appears to have NO factual basis - your

TEAC appears to have a QC problem with their Quad Spin drive - if they

In my opinion, you would be a LOT better off in general with a Mitsumi
EIDE/ATAPI Quad Speed drive - which is commonly a little LESS espensive but
offers essentially the SAME performance and is noticeably better
engineered.
I don't sell either - but I DID replace a TEAC with a Mitsumi in my

Yggdrasil is JUST one distribution, though, while Info-Magic includes 5 or
6 distributions.
Yggdrasil supports EIDE CD-ROM drives, Info apparently does not (yet).
I have the Yggdrasil in stock at $25, the Info-Magic at $19, prices
include shipping to U.S.A. addresses IF prepaid.
Just for comparison, I also have the new FreeBSD 2.0 release available at
$19 - doesn't support as wide a range of hardware as LINUX does, but it
seems to be a little more "stable" and has those 15 or so YEARS of Real
Berkley Unix development behind it. Also $19....

Data Transfer Rate is the ONLY determinant for single-speed vs. double-

150kBytes/sec. Double speed is appx. 300k/sec, Quad is appx. 600k/sec.
If/when Pioneer releases their "in the works" 8X drive, that one should do
appx. 1.2 Megabytes per second DTR - comparable to many of the current Hard

Yes, I have been there. I went there a few times to transfer
vechicles. That Lake Erie is something else. I saw it on the map
prior to my first trip there. I went to Loraine. I had always wanted
to see one of those Great Lakes. I made sure to leave a few hours
earlier than necessary just so I could have spare time to look at that
lake. It was well worth the extra time. I thought I was on the coast
looking at the Pacific Or Atlantic..
Great experience for a Hillbilly like me.

Also CD's that come with it? Are they all shareware stuff, and games!! Is
there
any usuable CD's!! Or is everything just empressive the first time and not

Subj: Mitsumi FX400 Quad IDE Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Have just upgraded to a PINE quad CDROM which in fact is the Mitsumi
IDE. The installation was extremely easy but discovered one major
bugaboo !!! The audio cable came configured as follows:-
RED BLK WHT BLANK but for an SB 16 sound card you need
BLK WHT RED BLANK to play CD audio directly.
So using my small cutters and my trusty soldering iron did my own
doctoring on the sound card connector. If you just switch the black
and red cables your left channel will play through the right speaker
and vice versa. Originally tried to pop the pins but Mitsumi have
designed their connector such that I believe you would need a very
special tool to switch the pins. Now measure 601 KBS on CD acccess
and very happy with the overall performance. The only gripe I have
is the tray mechanism, which works fine, but is much noisier than
the double-spin Pansonic it replaced and is not as smooth.
By the way my Future Shop was totally unaware of this situation, so
hope this information will be of help to some of you !!!
For the technically inclined RED is Right channel and WHT is Left
channel with BLK being Ground. Be aware you have very little lead
to doctor and the black wire is considerably thicker making this an
awkward chore and unless you consider yourself skilled suggest you
have a technician make the changes to your audio cable.

Apparently; someone finished it on that setup in two days (two very long days I

Subj: AWE and CR562B Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I have a Soundblaster AWE32 which according to Creative has exactly the same
CDROM interface as the SB16. I also have a Panasonic CR562B CDROM drive.
Creative Pacific say this will not work and they have never supported CR562
drives, but it does if you use an older version of the CDROM driver
(SBPCD.SYS). I know that overseas (not here in Australia) some SB16 cards came
with CR562B drives.
Because I am using version 4.04 of this driver to make the system work , some
newer hard hitting program like Wing Commander 3 and Under a Killing Moon and
others can cause a bit of a stutter when reading continuous streams of data
from the CD. If I use the later driver which is the solution to this problem,
then my CD won't work.
Besides buying a Creative CD upgrade kit (with Creative's CR563 CDROM), does
anyone have a solution?

I agree with what James said, with the added advantage that the faster
CD-ROM (or faster modem, or bigger hard disk, or etc. etc...) you get,
the longer it will be before you need to upgrade it.

JK> Derek, Huh? I recall the rules stated 'Selling' was OK
JK> here.. I'll agree it's been awhile since I've seen them
That IS correct the rules DO permit advertising.
There are however some restrictions on advertising which many are not adherring
to.
I am trying to contact the moderators via Netmail to see what is happenning, it
may be something simple like a broken link in the system somewhere and they are
not getting all the messages.
I think any kind of take-over is out of the question at this stage. I for one
would NOT support any banning of advertising in here. The rules as they stand
are quite adequate and IMO require little or no changes.
All that is required is for those breaking the rules to be pulled into line.
Only the Moderator can do this.
