- A number of messages have said that the microsoft extensions do not
- work with dos 4.0. Compaq Dos 3.31 addresses hard drives greater than
- 30 Meg as does Dos 4.0.
-
- Does anyone know if the microsoft CD extensions work with Compaq dos 3.31?

- Bill,

- If it's the Bibliofile discs you're trying to read then the MS CDROM EXtension
- aren't going to help you much. Those discs are pressed using a proprietary
- format & layout. Murph even goes so far as to "work around" the ECC which is
- part of the Philips/Sony standard. He claims gains in capacity and access
- speed as the reasons. Oh yeah, the data is also compressed.

- Sb: Read/Write Optical Disk
- Fm: Jim Stevenson 73507,477
- To: All
-
- I have a client who is coming out with a read/write erasable optical disk drive
- in the first quarter of 1989.
- The drive will use removable optical cartridges that can hold 325 MBs of
- storage on each side. The drive will have an average access time of 28 ms or
- faster. Please do no confuse access time with the seek time that some of the
- drive manufacturers quote. (Average access is composed of seek, latency, and
- settling time.)
- The interface is SCSI. The transfer rate is 10 megabits per second with burst
- speeds up to 24 megabits (3 MBytes) per second. Not only will the drive will
- work with Macs, IBMs, and Suns, its software will allow you to transfer data
- among the three computers at the file level.
- I am interested in two areas. First, what are your preferences regarding how
- the subsystem should stack dual drives~side-by-side or stacked on top of each
- other.
- Secondly, how would you use it? Here are some thoughts:
- Archival, backup, portability (i.e. transport 650 MB (325 MB per side) from one
- machine or location to another) expandability (if your 325 MB Winchester hard
- disk is full, you can buy another optical cartridge instead of another drive),
- and software distribution.
- Some of you have commented that you'll never need another hard disk. I remember
- saying that about a 360k floppy drive, "why would anyone want a 5 MB hard
- disk," I asked myself. I'm now outgrowing an 80MB. Remember, now that graphics
- are big (OS/2 Presentation Manager, etc.) you won't be saving ASCII files, but
- graphic files instead. I'd really appreciate your comments on the ability to
- have infinite storage through the use of removability or do you see yourself
- using optical simply as another fixed (non-removable) Winchester.
- I welcome and value your thoughts.
- Jim

- QuickBBS with the Phillips/PC-Sig Running Opus or Minihost with Sony/Computer
- Library. The Phillips has a problem with PC-Dos 3.3 so I have to use and older
- version and not boot the BBS. The Sony needs too much memory for Opus, but
- will run under Minihost, but the screen doesn't
- re-direct. I have tried CTTY COM1 and using other BBS re-directs, like IBMAUX
- and GATEWAY.
