It's good to see that people are still nosey bastards. as far as
privacy..what, or whom gives you the right to look at or even reply to a
private message. I'm not harassing the person I'm writing to. Basically my
point is this: If it doesn't pertain to you...don't bother reading it. Is
your name Raymond Gonzalez? Unless you've become completely stupid in the last
month or so..I would say that it's not. The next message I write to you I will
be sure and write TO:Paul Rolfe. Be sure that you look for it and by all means
hold your breath.
Remember, those of you who
think you are God are pissing off
those of us who know you're not.
have a nice, no shitty day.

Okay, Julie, since you're obviously one of the lesser intelligent of the
species I'll spell it out for you. YOUR name is Giuliano McBocci. I
won't ask you again not to answer mail addressed to other people. When
you see mail addressed to other people, try to control yourself. I myself
can't possibly understand how lonely you must be to want to read everyone
else's mail in such a large echo, but to each his own. As for the
shortcomings of the software I am using, well, obviously there not as bad
as the shortcomings you yourself must be suffering from. You see, it
takes a truly weak person to point out faults in other people without
noticing his own. If you really are this lonely, you should get a pet or
something. Stop hassling the people who don't want to talk to you!
Most sincerely,
Don Slattery.
Oh, by the way, Since this was probably YOUR BBS that you used when you
responded, It really means that you are abusing your PRIVILEGE as a SYSOP
to read private E-Mail. Grow up. Oh, by the way, Bicicle? maybe
you should get a E-mail program that spell checks?

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Sounds like MS-DOS 6.2 is what DOS 6.0 should have been all along.
Smartdrive now allows caching of CD-ROM drives, among other minor
improvements such as allowing you to remove doublespace :).
You can get the upgrade free w/Space Manger for $29+shipping from
Vertisoft (1-800-274-6212) for more info. Space Manger may be the
equal of Stacker 3.x with all the utilities it comes with and they
claim up to 40% better compression with up 20% more speed. Sounds like
a good deal if it does what's promised. You need MS-DOS 6.0 for this
upgrade.

CompUSA says they'll sell the "step up" for DOS 6.0 users for $9.49.
I don't use Smartdrive, but maybe the new one w/caching for CD-ROMs will
be good. Norton Speedcache + is the best one that I know of, but it
doesn't speed up everything like 7TH Guest for example. Just depends on
how many times you're re-reading stuff off the CD-ROM.
I really don't know of anyone who recommends DOS 6, but hopefully the
6.2 will not be full of bugs;)

Preparations are on schedule for a pre-christmas start of Australias' CHEAPEST
source of CD-ROM software.
This company (actually a division of an existing software developer) was
founded by a user (me) unhappy with the prices charged in Australia compared
with the US. It will be directed by myself and managed by my wife.
Our aim is to provide software at prices equal to or better than mail order
prices in the US. To do this means operating with low overheads and low stock
levels. While we plan to offer hundreds of titles only popular titles will be
kept in stock (see related policy below).
--- CATALOG ------------------------------------------------------------------
Those interested in recieving a catalog are invited to netmail/email/mail me.
--- SOME PROPOSED POLICIES ---------------------------------------------------
If within four weeks of buying a CD-ROM from us you find a legitimate lower
advertised price anywhere in Australia, we will offer a full refund.
Anyone ordering a title which cannot be supplied from stock will (if accepting
the 2-3 week delivery of this item) be entitled to order any other CD title at
cost. This would mean about $5 off the existing low price.
BBS ready shareware CD-ROMS sold to sysops at cost (1 per sysop).

Well, you do what you feel you have to to get the drive to work! <g> CL
seems to have had a big splurge on recent releases, SB 16 with SCSI-2,
with Mitsumi i/f, etc... Makes one wonder what is happening in their
little ivory tower? <g>
On another topic, I had an NEC CDR-500 dropped in for a few days to eval.
Looked good on the surface, 450Kbps tfr rate, 190ms avg access, semi-
motorised caddy insert/eject, SCSI-2..... Then I ran CDSPEED on it!
Unless there's a re-worked CDSPEED, (I'm chasing it from Microsoft), the
figures posted by the CDR-500 are *AWFUL*.... Sure enough it (almost!)
reaches the spec tfr rate (440Kbps or so)... But it fails to leave
sufficient CPU free at 300Kbps for it to be considered an MPC L2 drive.
The best it did was 63.7% CPU at 300Kbps with a 28K block size (from
memory!). Even the CDR-55 managed to fall inside the L2 spec at some
block sizes!
More tests and head-scratching to come!

The NightOwl 4-6 discs have about 650M on each disc there is no way that all of

Rob,
In your config.sys line just add the parameter /sbp:220 at the end of the
statement loading the CD-ROM driver. That tells the setup to use address 220
instead of the usually default. This applies for both SB Pro 2 and SB16. This
means you can buy a Panasonic CD-ROM CR562 off the shelf and connect it to
either of these cards without shelling out for the Creative Labs badged
Panasonic CD-ROM drive in a kit. The original Panasonic is usually cheaper than
the Creative Labs model so this is one sure way to save often big bucks.

I disagree!!! If you look at the circuitry for a stereo, you'll
see that the speaker wires [two for each speaker] the ground wires actually go
to GROUND or EARTH...so if they both go to the SAME [effectively] terminal,
then to take a stereo signal from the CD to the card, only 3 wires are really
needed because the stereo signal goes doen the left and right wires and returns
to the ground via the one ground wire!

Hi Tim,
having just seen my local Photo shop advertise that they can do Kodak CD's, I
had to go and have a look-see. The prices are (all in Aussie buckaziods) $12
for the disk and $1.50 per picture. What the saleswoman didn't know is how I
can use it on my CDROM (they only know about the CD player they sell). So in
essence, how do you look at the pictures that are on Kodak CD's? BTW I have a
562-b so multisession is no problem.

I also have a Hitachi 1503S and the same problem that you have. I have
been looking for a driver called HITACHIA.SYS version 2.2 or better to
see if it would correct this and other problems associated with advanced
memory managers. So far I have not been successful in my attempts to
locate the driver.
These older units really do use up a LOT of processor power!
BTW, if you ever locate an updated driver, I would appreciate it if you
would let me know the BBS name and number from which you download it.

It doesn't. There is an OPTION with the CD version to put a portion
onto your hard drive for improved play performance. I *think* that
this is mainly for those with slower CD drives and have heard from
people who kept it on CD that play is fine. However, if you DO put
the file on your hard drive, it takes 43MB of space, not 20!! <g>

Its been a while since I've used either Encyclopedias (back when stores
used to take return on software, but within a year), but I remember them
as being too plain and text based (I tried the DOS versions.) I also
wasn't satisfied with the quality, content, or depth, of the articles.
Don't get me wrong though, a few text based encyclopedias I like. One
is the Software Toolwork's Illustrated encyclopedia. Its also text
based, with a small picture and sound dept., but I mainly like it
because its articles are well written, and in depth.
Hope that helps. If your considering buying a CD encyclopedia, I'd
recommend asking others what they like as well, since everyone has
differing opinions.

How true that is! If you go inside a DOS session, whether by starting it from
the Desktop or entering COMMAND from an OS/2 prompt, and then enter MEM /D you
will see a driver called MSCD001 lying way down in the System Data area
(starting att 00700h). That's MSCDEX, autoloaded by OS/2.
So normallly you don't have to bother with loading MSCDEX in OS/2's DOS

getting closer and closer to working.
My CD ROM is on drive s. Now that the CD Rom Audio Player is running I
can't get the software to recognize the audio CD.
Are there special audio CD's that run on CD-Rom or should I be able to
play any CD that's purchased from the record shop?

Max

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the response. Yours is the second suggestion I received
mentioning [MCI] CD Audio, so there must be something to it.
Your instructions seem to be more clear than the manual. They should
hire you.
My CD ROM is on drive s. Now that the CD Rom Audio Player is running I
can't get the software to recognize the audio CD.
Are there special audio CD's that run on CD-Rom or should I be able to
play any CD that's purchased from the record shop?
Is there any way to get the software to recognize the s: drive?
Thanks again!
Regards,
Max

To load and view Photo CD's... Yes you do need software with drivers
that will import the graphics format. You can get these pretty easy,
just look for the program PrintShop Porfessional version 2 (aka: PSP2)
on your local files BBS.
This is a Windows 3.1 program (may not work well on Windows 3.0) and
allows conversion from just about every bitmap graphics format to every
other I've heard of. It also supports scanning images into itself
through TWIAN supported scanners.
I use it here (and have since it's first incarnation, it's damn good.

Yes, you can use a CD-ROM on a 80286 CPU system, but some software,
especially video playback will most likely be very choppy. That's why
the MPC1 spec needs a minimum of a 80386SX CPU. (note that many DOS

You've been paying much to much attention to the so called experts.
MSDOS will be around for at least another 4 years as even the upcoming

Besides if Microsoft sets the price of Windows 4 too high then Windows

Brian McDermott,
In a message on 1 November, you wrote to me :
BM> I am new to the echo and new to this CD-ROM business. Would someone mind
BM> telling me exactly what MSCDEX is and where I can acquire it if at all. B
MSCDEX is an acronym meaning MicroSoft CD-ROM Extensions. The MSCDEX
driver is a file system driver for MS-DOS that provides extensions for
CD-ROM hardware. It makes a CD-ROM appear as just another drive letter
under MS-DOS. To the operating system, the CD-ROM appears somewhat like
a giant (500+ meg) floppy mounted as a network drive. The MSCDEX driver
is capable of reading CD-ROMs that contain files in the High Sierra/ISO
9660 alphanumeric file structures and the KANJI (Japanese) file
structures.
MSCDEX versions prior to version 2.22 are available only from CD-ROM
vendors. When you purchase a CD-ROM drive, usually a floppy disk is
provided that contains a low-level device driver for the unit and the
MSCDEX.EXE driver. I'm not sure if this applies when purchasing "bare"
drives.
With the advent of MS-DOS 6, Microsoft began shipping the MSCDEX driver
as a file included on the installation disks. The version shipped with
MS-DOS 6 is the first version of MSCDEX that Microsoft will support when
loaded high in the upper memory area (from 640K to 1024K) as it is the
first version that was designed to function correctly when loaded high.

G'day Rick,
Thanks for your comments. I have exactly the same problem with the Adaptec
driver causing hangs - but not just on real time video, it can also hang on
large file transfers and the like.
Thanks why I'm keen to try the Corel or EZ-SCSI drivers to see if they fix the
problem.

On 10-29-93, Matt Chapman elucidated to All:
MC>Sorry to open an old can of worms, but what disadvantages/advantages
MC>(re:caddy or caddyless cdrom drive) came up last time this issue was
MC>raised? Did any of these affect the performance of the drive?
Here is the definitive answer. This is intended to end the thread
without offending anybody, yet giving you the straight facts.
-------------------------x----------------x-----------------------
There is NO fundamental difference in the quality or performance
of a drive caused by the existence or otherwise of a caddy.
Caddies protect CDs if the CD is kept permanently in its own caddy.
If you have to swap cds in and out of caddies, the potential for
scratches increase, reducing any benefits proportionally.
Drives using caddies can USUALLY be used vertically, caddyless
drives USUALLY cannot.
Placing a caddy in a drive is easier than opening a jewel case and
getting a cd out to put in the tray of a caddyless drive, but the

True, in fact there are almost none new for DOS first now. There are

OTOH the major difference is that those largely mean a new machine with

to use DOS apps with very little hassle. Very very different. There are

And these are much better examples for the future of DOS on PCs IMO, cos
you can just keep using them.
OTOH in many ways that doesnt affect the original question, whether its
worth paying for capability on a multitasker when considering hardware
like a CDROM HA. Even if you do go to a flash multitasker which can take
advantage of it, that doesnt currently prevent you using the DOS stuff
you brought with you.

The SCSI x.add device driver for PAS 16 is not included with OS/2 2.1...

Be warned that the file size is around 130k. It includes updated
PAS sound driver, mixer program for OS/2, SCSI CDROM driver, Sony
CDU31A CDROM driver, a patched SoundBlaster driver for ThunderBoard,
a patched DMA driver for WINOS2 and instructions. If it's setup
properly you should have access to PAS from OS/2, WinOS2, DOS. You
can even have SoundBlaster support simultaneously with PAS side by
side if there is no conflict between hardware and software. But I
haven't tested much of that part yet.
Good luck with installation!

Actually, RAM IS better. You can do CUSTOM patches whereas with ROM you
are limited to what is there. I suppose the best way to go is a RAM/ROM
combo.
This is the next generation of sound card being born, it's going to take
a while to get everything ironed out. I remember just a couple years ago

The Panasonic is one of the better units on the market. It will connect
driectly into a SBPRO or use it's own controller card. You can dasiy
chain up to 4 off the same controller and it's caddless. With an average
access time of 320ms and a data transfer rate of 300kps, you can't go
wrong with the unit.
As to the NEW Mitsumi, although it does offer some nice new features,
like faster access and higher transfer rate than it previous model. It
still has it's problems of reading higher density cd's.
If your looking for the least amount of headachs and a very high reliablity
rate, you can't go wrong for the money by purchasing a Panasonic.
Interested in additional information, please feel free to give us a call
at 216-225-3263 anytime 7 days a week and we'll be happy to assist you

Sound more like a interupt problem than a wire connection to me.

Yes..... with some reservations. I run Grolliers, San Diego Animals, Toolworks
Reference and Cinemania (Windows) on a 286 with 2 megs of RAM. It works
fine as a dedicated Reference source on my desk. (saved me from junking a
fine old machine that served me well) It's a tad slooow, the animation's
a bit jerky and I'm willing to bet it won't run the games CDs.
By the time the 286 gives up the ghost, perhaps the CD ROM technology
will have settled and I'll buy a fast machine and a hot reader.
I hope this helps

The other John Anthony most likely is not using the same BBS you are. The

I just read a review of CD's in PC Computing and they list the MTBF at 50,000
hours which is pretty darn good! The specs on the single and double spin
versions are MPC 1 & 2 (respectively) compliant and the transfer rate and
access times are excellent. There used to be a problem when they used 8 bit
interface cards but that problem was fixed a long time ago. I know of 2 other
SysOps who use Mitsumi and both of them love it.

That is not the FX001D. The FX001D has a 280ms or 250ms access time
(depends on who you ask) and it is almost always sold for more than $200.
The FX001D does have a new motorized tray.
I looked at the Comput Ability ad in PC Magazine and they don't show any
pictures and the old mitsumi (lu005s) is $175 and it says to "CALL" about
the FX001D. Why would they sell the double speed drive for only $10 more?
That drive is probly the OMNI CD drive from creative labs which has specs
like those. What magazine did you see the ComputAbility ad in? I checked
the newest issues of PC World, and BYTE and Computability only has an ad
in PC Magazine.

Jim, Hi. Yes there is something special to do when setting up a cd-rom with
OS/2. Check out the OS/2 section of one of your favorite BBS's and look for a
file with a description something like: Drivers for CD-ROM under OS/2. I
can't remember the exact name of the file. Anyway, in that file is a bunch of
drivers specifically written for different makes and models of CD-ROM drives.
It's really easy to set up but you do need the driver. You may have already
solved the problem but just thought I would drop a line just in case you
haven't yet. Any other questions just drop me line. I have a mitsumi cd-rom
and I got it to run fine under OS/2. Well bye for now!

My best guess is 10+ years - too much inertia for DOS to "just go away" as you
are suggesting.
Don't forget - DOS is STILL the #1 best selling program in the world for ANY

There is no such thing as a Panasonic IDE-interface CD-ROM drive. You can NOT
put a Panasonic CD-ROM drive (ANY of them!!!!) on an IDE interface and expect
it to work - and doing so is LIKELY to damage both the drive AND the interface.

I'd suggest you take a hard look at RomDoor. The SysOp of About Time BBS

Half correct - the Police are under no obligation to provide legal advice, but
the State Attourney office IS in fact obligated to do so in most if not all
states. The trick is getting THEM to realise that fact - most of them would
PREFER to not discharge that particular duty if they can possibly avoid it, as
doing so and getting it wrong CAN come back to haunt them....

I'm a Mitsumi fan, and even I wouldn't recommend replacing an already-bought
already-installed working Panasonic with that Mitsumi.
On the other hand, I'm ALSO a Panasonic fan, even though both of my current
CD-ROM drives are Mitsumi (my much-abused but keeps on working printer is a
Panasonic KX-P1091ii, and I like Panasonic floppy drives as well)....

I have one also. It works flawlessly also. I guess the reason why
they bash it, is because it is a ECONOMICAL CD ROM, just like why people
bash Yugo's. They do not have a bad track record (as far a breaking)
but they are not the fastest/most costliest drive out there.

CPU usage will be directly proportional to transfer rate, all else being
equal. If you have 30% CPU usage @ 1x, you will have 60% usage @ 2x and 90%
usage @ 3x. And at 4x... ;-)
I assume you tested with the typical 8 bit host adapter? Perhaps these
faster units will require 16 bit host adapters to meet MPC specs. A busmaster
host adapter will help a lot too, provided you run an os that can take
advantage of what busmasters can offer.

EMS Professional Shareware's C/C++ Utility Library on CD-ROM is a
superset of all the other programming CD-ROMs we've been able to
buy. The collection is a result of active and aggressive COLLECTING,
not just a convenient dump of Internet or regional BBS files. The
database that accompanies the CD-ROM provides far mroe information
than any files.bbs list I've ever seen, and allow ssearches that
only a formal database structure would allow (critical when you get
a very large collection). It's updated every two months, with the
tightest turnaround anywhere (we ship CDs with files created by the
author only two weeks before). We do mailings to ALL vendors, by
paper or email to make sure we have the latest and the complete
collection of everything the author produced. Because we produce
products for professionals (whose time is generally worth well over
a $/minute to their employers or themselves) we also list all
commercial products in the database, so you have one stop shopping
for ALL tools that might meet your needs. Don't believe me, check
Software Development's November issue for a review of "shovelware"
and EMS's CD-ROMs. Voice:+1(301)924-3594 Fax:+1(301)963-2708

I have a question and I suppose here is the best place to start: I am looking
for the following:
- a company that manufactures the device/machine/system

- a company that manufactures a multi-feed, 8ppm, full page
scanner
- a company that sells CCDs in bulk(ten/pkg)
Any and all replys will be appreciated.

What kind of price do you have on the controller card for this unit? I'm not
interested in a sound card, but does the PAS16 hook up to this drive? I
presently have on my BBs machine, 4 3500 Hitachi's which are propriatary in
nature and was wondering if I'd have a conflict if going true SCSI as I believe
this drive is.

I wouldn't blame anyone actually. The virus wasn't really discovered by
pressing time of NO10, I guess. It seems to be pretty recent.
I checked out SPORT21C also. Strange little bugger. Seems like the virus
is dropped by the install program, which infects then executes the infected
files. Infects the hell out of everything it finds in the current
directory, anyway. For some odd reason, however, it tries to copy the
self extracting archive (sport21c.exe) over to C:\DOS if it exists. For
what reason, I've got no clue.
Thanks for the info, however. I went ahead and posted all the above info
in the RACENET CD-ROM echo also. I wonder when it's all gonna end?

Subj: Re: CD Rom for You! Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I am asking $200 for the first CD.. The capacity of the CD is 680mb. I could
add data at different times, but like a tape drive, it stores the different
copies on different volumes. Most common CD ROM drives (if not all) cannot
read more than one volume per CD... If you did have a drive that would allow
you to read multiple volumes then all would work fine.. You may want to speak
with the manufacturer of your CD ROM drive.. If you wanted a copy of the
original CD I charge $75 for each additional copy.. Also if you had the data
on your IDE hard drive, or even SCSI hard drive you could also just send in the
Drive.. That would probably be cheaper than sending 100+ floppies..
Thanks!
Chris

There are a few folks still writing for CP/M today - almost 10 YEARS after MS-
DOS supposedly killed CP/M.
MS-DOS has several DOZEN TIMES (or possibly a HUNDRED times) the installed

did even IF (and ONLY IF) something manages to kill MS-DOS out of new
production.

Barb -
Kind of a general question, without listing the drive type or the
interface card you're using -- but I'll jump in to get things rolling.
If we assume that your new double-speed drive is connected to a 16-bit
SCSI interface card, then I would look at the amount of buffer space
which has been allocated for the system. The MSCDEX buffers are
allocated by the /M:xx parameter in your autoexec.bat -- these are for
"path table" entries, and are used to speed up searching and opening of
files on the CD. The other location where there (sometimes) are buffers
allocated is for the entry in config.sys which provides low-level access
to the CD-ROM. This buffers physical sectors from the drive. You'll need
to refer to the docs for your software driver to see if there is a
buffering parameter supported.
In order to tune your system for best performance, look for an archive
called either "infopack" or "cdspeed" - the procedure is configure your
buffers, run the test, revise the buffers based on test data, and run
the test again. The test can take a couple of hours per run.
Have fun!!

I've found the ladder, go to the wall where Humpty is
located. (Inside the walls) but don't know how to get the ladder
to him.
Also have the same problem with the other guy. Have solved
the rest tho -- maybe the game shouldn't be played by a 63 year
old?
On another line: I also have "Just Grandma and Me," and
"Arthur's Teacher Trouble." They both loose the mouse cursor at
odd intervals. All I can do then is advance to the next page with
the arrow key -- which brings back the mouse -- but then it will
happen again.
What happens is this: You click on something such as the sand
bucket in frame 3. The bucket jumps etc. like its supposed to do,
but after the animation the mouse pointer is gone bye-bye, never
to return. Other items on each frame will do this, but it's
erratic. Any ideas?

The major problem is it collects dust easier than most drives out there.
If you can keep it away from dust, it's a pretty nice system.

Maybe the numbers weren't included because the board came bundled with a

If he sold them for $20 I didn't know it! Could it be he bough
up such a large inventory in order drop the price of a competitors disc?
Our distributor sells thes to us for over $20.00! At the proposed
26.00 for sysops, that doesn't leave much for a margin. Frankly much
more can be made selling others disc's with less volume. Considering
This is the second time that I know of a virus being release on a Night
Owl disc, and that we pay much more then $20 from our distributor, we
are at this moment dropping out of the Night Owl market! I'm also
please to announce that we just set a new config.sys company policy of
scanning any so called bbs-ready disc, before being shipped from our
office!
Thanks for pointing out the Ismail sale to us. He is more then
welcome to sell virus tainted copies at below distributor costs!

Joe Rinehart

It has been brought to our attention that the recent Night Owl 10
cd-rom disc contains two viruses. Upon investigation this information was
confirmed. Considering the Night Owl 10 disc was promoted as a BBS ready
disc which may be downloaded by thousands during its expected life, we have
decided to recall this release. Compensation will be offered in the form of
an exchange toward another BBS ready disc of equal value. We are presently
suggesting Terry Blount's recent release "Cream of the Crop II". Terry's
first publication was proven to be virus free.
Anyone interested in further information on what we learned from our
Night Owl 10 virus investigation, may contact me. The basic scan report

First, a glass master is created at mastering plant. The cost on this

The glass master is used to press pits (representing data) and a groove

to make it reflective. The aluminum is then covered with a lacquer

that the disk is bad. If I need a driver for it, please let me know where I
can buy it. Thanks for your help.

Ensure that there are no CD-ROMs in the drives during startup.... or

No, I'd say its for the 6.2 release.... From what I've heard on this side of
the pond, it'll be a "cheap" upgrade - $A25.00 was one price I heard
mentioned.... And there are current msgs in places like the Intl Windows

Don't forget the Viper is a Graphics Accelerator.... blazing for a GUI
but only 'pretty good' for DOS stuff...
The Weitek P9000 is a GUI accelerator chip, and needs a separate DOS
video section, and unfortunately that bit is not as good as the GUI
bit... thats why theres a new version of the chip, the P9100 coming out
early '94, which will finally integrate them both into 1!

Good Evening to all the Wholesalers/Distributors out there,
Is there any one who is interested in supplying CD-ROM software in
initially relatively small order quantities to a growing CD-ROM mail order
business in Australia. We need reliable suppliers with a wide range of
titles and minimum order turn around and delivery times who are willing to
treat a small customer well so that one day we might grow to a large
customer. We are looking for a 4-5 day delivery time to Canberra
Australia.
Ideally you would provide your dealer catalog in electronic format to
facilitate easy inclusion in our catalogue. Our catalogue is regularly
mailed our to our ever increasing list of members, along with regular
newsletters. We also like to be kept informed of new releases, preferably
in advance so we may include this info in newsletter or flyers to our
members.
If you are interested, please don't respond in this echo, but by FAX,
to +61-6-2914591, including if possible your dealer/re-seller price list
and a schedule of your delivery charges to Australia. A follow up letter
including a soft copy of your catalog would also be appreciated.
Steve Ranson
Australian CD-ROM Club
Voice +61-6-2915258, FAX +61-6-2914591.

Gameplay is better than T7G, Graphics are not as good. Overall it is
better than T7G.
As for soundcard support, the game uses the Miles Drivers (AUDIO
INTERFACE LIBRARY). This means that it supports any soundcard which has
a Miles driver written for it. (IE: All soundcards).
Here is a list of drivers that come with the game:
ADLIB.ADV
Music driver for the AdLib, SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster Pro,
SoundBlaster 16, ProAudio Spectrum, Logitech SoundMan, and
compatible cards.
ADLIBG.ADV

synthesizers.

Your best bet is to keep the PAS16, and add the Turtle beach MAui board
to your system. This card is General MIDI Wavetable (2 meg rom, and plus
can hold upto 8 megs of RAM for custom samples.) It sells for about
$200. It is designed to work in conjuction with another card like a SB

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I have not read this echo for ages so I may have missed something about the
following (or a way to remedy it)
I run 8 nodes under desqview and have a drm604x. When it is reading from a cd
everything is fine UNTIL or UNLESS it has to CHANGE CD's which totally locks up
MOST things. If I am in does TYPEING A COMMAND LINE or something like that,
then everything is fine but everything else comes to a complete halt until the
cd has finished changing (about 2-3 seconds later) then everything catches up
to where it should be and goes on as normal. This is VERY annoying and slows
the bbs down considerably, especially when a few users are accessing different
Cd's and it CUES them and the system will pause for as lond as the disks are
swapping and I have seen it do this for up to 1 minute. I have even tried
putting the unit on a server and it STILL does the same thing on the
multitasking machine.
Has anybody found a remedy or even an explanation for this? I have purchased
Os/2 as a final resource. Can someone save me the trouble of installing it and
tell me whether this will do the same thing or not. Thanks very much. If there
is no CURE for this, I would STRONGLY advise ANY sysop with a multiline system
running under a multitasker NOT to buy one of these units and to get individual
single disk units as I originally intended doing.
Thanks again.

Tell me about it! I made the most effort to include great
programs that were not updated every few months on my first
volume of Cream of the Crop... but then many of the big time
dealers who purchase cd rom discs by the hundreds and thousands
told me "....Nahhhh the files on my disc were too old." They
didn't want to promote a disc with any files over a few months
old because that is not what the _customers_ wanted. So on
Cream of the Crop II they will get what they want! There is
nothing older than April 93 and nothing older than Jan 93 EVEN
INSIDE the archives.

The MCS-600 and MCS-700 are listed as supported by OS/2 2.1 out of the
box, as well as their TMC line of adapters, but no mention is made of the
MCS-08. It is possible that either one of the stock drivers (possibly
FD8xx.ADD) may work with that controller, or that Future Domain may have a
driver available for that controller. I really don't know for certain, but I
would recommend going with a 16 or preferably 32 bit controller with OS/2, in
any case. IF you are *REALLY* adamant about running the 8 bit controller, call
Future Domain and ask if they have OS/2 drivers for it.

It would not make any difference. You need to speak with your sysop
and have him explain how an echo works. In brief, however, a message that is
marked To: a certain individual is not sent directly to that individual.
Rather the To: marker is just an indicator and a means of raising a flag to the

I'm sure, but your reading this conference in general or messages

Hi All!
First of all, my apologies for being off-topic. I have the game XWING and I
cannot get music to play during missions, it starts for a couple of seconds and
then the music goes silent and only the sound effects remain. I have a Sound
Blaster Pro (Ver. 1) and have XWING set up for it. I am running the game on a
386DX/40, and there's far more memory availiable (conventional and
expanded/extended) than the game will use, so memory's not a problem. I have
NDOS and QEMM386 V. 7.01 . Any ideas? Oh, I am running the floppy version of
the game, in case there's a CD one.
Thanks to all of you who are kind enough to reply! Please someone help, the
silence's driving me nuts! %-(
Cheers!

a picture showing where you plug the wire in. Do you have to have the
cd-rom also hooked up to the sound card or will just
having the cd-audio wire plugged in work?

You shouldn't need to do a thing (except set jumpers) to get the
PASpectrum 16 to work with the NEC 84-1. I believe that the PASpectrum
has a SCSI-1 port and the NEC 84-1 supports both SCSI-1 and SCSI-2. To
select SCSI-1 on the NEC 84-1 remove jumper 6. As for the cabling, the
SCSI cable should have come with the CD-ROM. However, unless you buy a
kit you will have to order the audio cable direct from Media Vision
because there aren't any standards for the connectors.

Horse Fritters! Please supply references, and then look up pages
361-369 of the book _Using the Operating System_, supplied with the GA release
of OS/2 2.1. It explicitly states that both Pioneer 600 series drives are
fully supported, and the 604x is supported to to the limit of its capabilities,
which includes multi-session photo CD and music CD's. I have a 604X sitting on
the desk in front of me, and I installed 2.1 from a CD-ROM using this unit
directly, with OS/2 recognizing the drive right out of the box. All functions
of the drive operate superbly.
Quit diseminating misinformation and FUD.

Quit doubting. OS/2 2.1 has full support for the drive built in to its

I own a Toshiba 3401_b cd rom. A great drive, with a lot of options.
One of these options is: CD-I Ready
(look in the instruction manual)
Well, nothing is ready, I tried with some CD-I cd's but he spittles them out
like dirt.
Is this a software problem, ore are these drives not CD-I ready.
Than this is a deception from the factory, but I want the possibility to play
CD-I. This is one of the reasons that I bought this drive.
What do you think of this, and could we stand together in this situation ?
I don't think that a company can sell products that do not match with the

Caching a CDROM drive will give you the same benifits as caching a Hard Drive

I have verified the virus infection, it does not put files into
the DOS directory, only infects .com files in the same directory
that you run the program in. However the description of this virus
in VSUMX308.ZIP shows 2 variants one of which infects .COM files the
other .EXE files, the internal info in the virus code indicates that
the virus is of the Cascade variety, which is only supposed to infect
the .EXE files - this one didn't infect a .EXE file so I think the
VSUM program info is off abit.
VSUMX308.Zip is also on Night Owl 10.

DOS is needed to maintain backward compatablility with many of the

If you're intending to load images from your camcorder onto your
harddrive and edit them you'll need a video capture board at least to
import the image from the camcorder. The process is similar to scanning
an image. The video capture board should come with some basic software,
but may not have a good image editing package.
When it comes to making CD grade movies a similar set-up will be needed,
but that moves into an area I've not been in myself. I'm sure there is
someone on this echo that can help. Try post a general help message.

Thanks for the info. The thing I am worrying about the GUS is software support.
Since the GUS is quite new and few software is has support for it at the
moment. Although it is SB compatable, I heard that it sounds strange when it
simulates the SB. Is it so?

It couldn't have been a conflict with the 8-bit controller, as the

Its always the way.... I buy something and someone else brings a bigger,
better, faster version into the marketplace cheaper! What you've got to

Hiya Rowan,
I'm using the latest OS/2 driver and the v4.11 driver for Dos. The problem is
not to do with the drivers as this 'double eject' trick happens only when I:-
a) Turn on the computer or
b) cold boot the machine.
What happens is that during the memory test (POST) the drive ejects twice. Only
after this little misdemeanour does it go into either Dos or OS/2. If I do a
warm boot, 'tis all OK. Wierd huh!
I didn't use the /X parameter when under Dos but it worked OK. What does this
parameter do? I've never heard of it.
Tom.

Yes, it is free to download from MS BBS. And the new Smartdrive does cache
CDROM's. However, if you use QEMM DO NOT use DOS 6.2 unless you have the 7.03
patch. For some idiotic reason MS thinks it's a good idea to load the
doublespace driver even though you may not use doublespace. This eats up 50k of
conventional memory and you can't keep it from loading either. QEMM 7.02 didn't
disable it like it could with DOS 6.0. So the advantages of using Smartdrive to
cache the CDROM does not outweigh the disadvantages.

Hi Lori,
Well "no" I haven't bought one. I am stationed at RAF Alconbury in the
UK. It seems that is the only brand that the BX carries. I was dumb
and bought a 14.400 modem from them. It worked ok to call out but when
I used it for my BBS it wouldn't accept calls any higher than 2400. So
yes I did take it back and got a refund. Went through computer shopper
and bought a USR Courier 16.8. Had very good luck with it. I am
looking at either a Sony or NEC. Have you heard of any problems with
the phillips or Mitsumi drives? By the way what do you do at Eilson?
I was stationed with people that use to work on the A-10's when they
were there. We use to have them at Alconbury, but they went to Pope.
I am getting ready to PCS in July 94, so I might wait until I get to the
states and go to a local store and pick up the cd-rom. How do the
prices form a computer store compare to computer shopper? Well I gotta
go. Hope that you will reply to me.
Seeya,

Have you tried contacting the company you bought it from or the company
that produces it? It doesn't sound like a disc I need to stock. I will
make you an offer though. If you will send me California Collection
plus $15, I will send you a Night Owls CD-Rom. You can choose between
Version 8, 9, or 10. If you are interested in this deal, send it to me

Hey Scott. If you are open to a suggestion, you may want to try out
EZ-Rom. It has a configuration file that will give the user a busy
signal while another disc is being used. This will prevent the
thrashing you are talking about. The file name is EZROM120.ZIP.
It is a full featured CD-Rom door that is easy to configure and has file
tagging included.

We can duplicate CD-ROMs the same way that we create them from source
tapes.
We require a signed statement from the customer indicating that they have
the right to make a copy of their material.
If you did not create these CD-ROMs yourself, I would suggest you
carefully read your license agreement or get a signed statement from
the copyright holder indicating that you have the right to back up the
material. This is strictly for your protection as there are very
severe civil and criminal penalties for copyright infringement.

The Pier Exchange (tm) is proud to present the HOTTEST and most
CURRENT CD-ROMs ever released. The Pier Shareware CD-ROMs are a series
of sequential updated disks containing the latest Shareware programs.
All files on the discs are TRULY the most CURRENT files available on
the market at the time of their release. Unlike other Shareware CD-ROMs
that claim to have current files, The Pier Exchange has assured this
with "Smart Date Checking." (S.D.C.) Such dated files as FILE_ID.DIZ,
READ.ME, etc., within the archives are disregarded giving you TRULY the
latest files.
The Pier Exchange CD-ROM Publishing has set the standards for
Shareware CD-ROMs in regrades to the quality of files one comes to

v2.0 High Performance CD-ROM Access Program. This is not a GUI
interface put over v1.0, but rather a complete rewrite, and as a
result it is 300% FASTER then version 1.0. The GUI interface will
support EGA or VGA graphic modes. There is full mouse support with
pull-down menus. The Search menu will allow you to search ThePier
database for matching file names, keywords, or archive content file
names. The viewers are one of the nicest features of ThePier. They
allow you to associate programs with data files on the basis of the
data file extension. ThePier has a built-in viewer that is used as the
default viewer unless you specify something different. You will have
the ability to add additional comments associated with any file within
the database. The ability to copy or extract files to any path, on the
fly!
Features Of ThePier v.2.0:
* GUI Graphical Interface - EGA VGA * Keywords Search
* Full Mouse Support * File Name Search

AB}true or not, anyway cache is kinda funny since for it to kick in the

AB}times, and then the data is retrieved from RAM, but tell me what
AB}program, be it a game or anything, weill access the same data over and

Ashwin -
Your analysis is off regarding caching. I can think of two examples of the
use of caching - one is where a specific sequence is looped (whether it is
audio or some type of visual animation doesn't matter) during the course of
a game; the second event utilizes the cache to do sector read-ahead into the
cache.
I agree with you that it is not a "cure-all", instantly transforming a slow
drive into a lightning-fast screamer. I've seen a number of instances
(mostly business database-style applications) where a cache gave a
significant increase in speed.

If I have a PAS 16 with onboard SCSI, what is the appropriate CD_ROM
to buy (in the $250 range) that will work with the SCSI? Or is it
easier just to forget the PAS 16 SCSI utilization and use another
card slot and buy a Panosonic CR562B or lastest Mitsuim with their own

Somehow I knew this was not going to be easy. Your settings are the
default ones and another reader suggested the same. I tried each of the
i/o addresses and bios/ram addresses, also zero waitstate enabled.
Here are the error messages I get on bootup:
For T128/T228 host adapter <-- The card has T130 on it.
Warning: No SCSI host adapter detected -- Do I have old software?
No TSLCD functions in use
Then further on :
Device driver not found: 'NECCD'
The relevant autoexec and config lines are:
c:\cdmenu\mscdex /d:neccd /L:F /M:10
Device=c:\cdmenu\neccdr.sys /d:neccd
My system is using Dos 5.0 and the readme file on the NEC software
states that the version of mscdex WILL work with dos 5.0. On the SCSI
adapter should there be chips in U4 and U6? My card has empty sockets
here. My soundblaster is using IRQ 7 so I have 5 selected on the SCSI
adapter.
What's the purpose of the /d:neccd in each of the lines above?
Well I hope you can see something that I can try to get this cdrom
running. Thanks for the help.
BTW, if it matters the SW1 on the back of the Cdrom are set as follows:
1 and 4 are off, and 2 and 3 are on and it runs on a MAC but I am
trying to get it to run on my 386/25.

The GUS has 2 primary drivers:
1) SBOS - This emulates the Sound Blaster DAC and Sound Blaster FM. So far, it
gives 95% compatibility with SB games.
2) MegaEm - This emulates General MIDI and the new version plays GMIDI along
with SB DAC.
There are add-on drivers for native GUS support on older games and also Miles
Drivers for all Sierra games.

Thanks for the information Allen. Even if a little old, it would let us set up
Mac file areas, and our users could pick it up from there. I've been getting
what Mac stuff I can and uploading, one at a time and it's a slow go. CD-ROM

Please educate me. I don't understand the attitude above.
Night Owl and PC-SIG and Pier, and all the other shareware CD's are
compilations of files from a variety of sources. If the compilers of
these discs use due diligence in checking the files with current virus
scanners why should they be responsible for something the current crop
of scanners didn't catch?
I have a copy of NO 10 and nowhere on the disc or package do I see a
statement claiming virus free status.
You stated that you didn't catch the virus the first time you scanned
the disc. Was that carelessness or an outdated scanner or improper
technique? The file infected with the Butterfly virus is PKlited,
inside an archive and it renames another file. Unless the files are
taken apart, it is difficult to discover. Those who choose to author
these bastards are getting very clever. Some are specifically
targeting the scanners themselves. It behoves every user to take some
responsibility to check their system and files they use.
I don't hold Night Owl harmless, they make a statement on the license
that may come back to haunt them. I am trying, elsewhere, to get a
response to my question about that. But I don't understand why people
who hang out in this echo would get so upset by a virus showing up in
a shareware collection. It was bound to happen sooner or later.
Several authors have up loaded programs to distribution sites with
virri in them. One would think the author would know enough about
their own work to avoid such a situation, but it has happened.
I welcome any and all explanations and reasons for people who disagree
with me. As I said, I don't understand the other side of the
argument. Thanks.

* The view and retrieval program (Cream.exe) has many new features including:
1. No setup is required.
2. Runs directly on the cd and loads listings into memory - making most
of the options lighting fast.
3. Mouse support.
4. Multi-line file-description display.
5. Selected files can be copied or uncompressed directly to
the target directory. When these actions are completed you
will be returned to your previous position in the listing.
6. File description keyword search.
7. File name search option in every category AND on the entire list.
8. When browsing/searching the entire listing as much of the
description will be displayed as the memory available on
the system will allow. This file search feature is instant.
9. Help and general information available.
10. Many internal improvements to optimize the code and verify your
input is correct and make suggestions to correct any problems.
* Files were cataloged under the following 27 categories:
BATCH C_LANG KEYBOARD SCIENCE
BBS DATABASE LAN SCREEN
BUSINESS DIAG OS2 SOUND
CAD DISK PASCAL UTILITY
CLIPPER EDITOR PRINTER VIRUS
COMM EDUCATE PROGRAM WINDOWS
COMPRESS GAMES RELIGION
* BBS Support Programs
If you run a Maximus, Proboard, Remote Access, Quick BBS, PcBoard, or
Spitfire BBS programs are included to automatically and instantly set up
this disk for your bbs file database structure in only a few minutes.
ALL of these programs will AUTOMATICALLY copy (and correctly format) the
Files.bbs from this cd to suit the structure of your bbs and increment
the file names, placing the "Files.<x>" ( or File<XX>.bbs in some cases)
into the directory you specify.
* The following groups of files were NOT included on this disc
in order that the space available on a cd could be best optimized:
Commercial programs that are not released under the shareware concept,
files that were older than April 93, sexually explicit (adult) programs
and text, newsletters (except for a few that contained programming
code), magazines, pictures (gifs, fli, animation, fracturals, graphics,
clipart, fonts, images, cartoons, ext), music (Cmf, Mid, Mod, Mus, Rol,
Voc, Wav, etc.), bbs door games, windows games, windows icons, Macintosh
& Unix operating system support programs, demos, and ham radio.

I had another caller mention to me how they fixed their problem with 7th guest
using a cirrus card. He looked at the card, and wrote down the numbers that
were on the bigest chip. They should read as DL-G542XXX, where the xxx stands
for different numbers depending on the chip. Then call the cirrus bbs, which I
unforunately don't have the number. Ask Komkit Listisard for it on this echo.
Download the file pertaining to your chip, and follow the directions that come
with it.
Another solution, are you sure you have loaded the vesa driver. I have to do
it manually before I play the game every time. Other than that I can't be of
much help. What is your card, by the way?

I just upgraded from DOS 5.0 to 6.2 and now I can't access drive D
(cd ROM drive). When I log to D using the file manager, I can't
even get a directory, it shows no files. But, I can get a directory
from D when in dos. I can also use Dos based Cdrom games(7th Guest to
name one). I called Microsoft and they are 'working on it' and will call
me when they figure it out, we shall see...
I was just wondering if anyone out there might have knowledge of this
problem. I upgraded to 6.0 a while back and experienced similar symtoms
so I ended up going back to 5.0 which cured it.
Wish me luck....

I don' understand what is so good about the GUS... it says on the box that it
can only sample at 44.1 khz at 8 bit resolution. Does the thing have even ONE
DAC or is it limited to its wavetable sounds for everything? MIDI isn't
everything.... In fact it's not what makes entertainment software fun, it's
the digital sound samples that are used, which REQUIRE a DAC SOMEWHERE whether
the GUS has an ASIC or what.... (in any event, only 8 bit)

Hi All,
I have a Genstar 2000 drive attacahed to my BBS, it has, until recently
preformed quite well (slow access, but hey, it is only a storage drive :-)
Anyway, just recently it has started to take quite a long time to read a disk
(I rotate a couple of cd disks and it happens with all of them). I gues the
read mechanism is some what dirty, if this is the case, what can I do to clean
it? The drive is an external unit....
Appreciate any helpful replies (apart from the ' get a faster drive' type:-)
cya later,
Paul.

Yeah, same word I got on the NEC 3x availability..... Price is touted to
be $50.00 or so higher than for the equivalent 74-1/84-1.....
*BUT*.... I tweaked CDSPEED to give me performance figures at 450Kbps....
Chews up 98% of the CPU at this speed (and didn't make it to 450Kbps!)...
And as for MPC L2 compliant! *NOT*!
Yes, I did then pass all the test data back to NEC to see if they could
explain the results....... No word as yet and its been a week!

Could be... I used the standard Trantor written driver that came with the
PAS 16.... But then all NEC gave me to test was a *BARE* internal CD-ROM
drive.... I even had to find my own caddy! (UGH!)....
But CDSPEED was quite happy to admit that the drive maxed out at around
440Kbps and used 99% of the CPU at this speed..... Furthermore when I
dropped back to 300Kbps for a comparative to the CDR-55 and CR563, it
was a slower drive than either of these two......
Results (& details of what tests & how they were performed) were passed
back to NEC for comment.... Its been a week, nothing heard yet!

OK, I'll try and wade through the asked and unasked questions to allow
you to listen to your Audio CDs through the sound card.... <g>
JH> Do you have to have the cd-rom also hooked up to the sound card or
JH> will just having the cd-audio wire plugged in work?
You obviously have a CD-ROM drive as well! (Would've been nice to know
the mfr/model, but not essential!).....
Firstly, you don't have to have the CD-ROM controlled by the sound card to
play CD-Audio, but you do have to have the Audio Out of the CD-ROM
connected to your sound card's CD-In if you want to listen to Audio CDs
through your sound card!
To play an audio CD under DOS, you'll have to look for an "Audio CD
player" program.... This adds all the essentials like stop, start,
fwd trk, back trk, etc to the "bare" CD-ROM drive... there's a nice
one on Night Owl 7 from memory "CDPLAYR2.ZIP"...... IF everything is
connected properly, insert an Audio CD and listen!
For Windows, its a little harder.... You must install the [MCI] CD-Audio
device driver.... Start Windows.... Select Control Panel.... From Control
Panel, Select Drivers..... Select Add..... Select [MCI] CD Audio....
Insert Disk 5 (? - could be 6).... Windows will ask if you would like to
restart.... Click on restart....
When Windows has completed the restart, locate your Windows-based Audio
CD player.... (The PC magazine one Vol 11 # 20 or so ?? is a reasonable
freebie if you didn't get one) .... Run the Win Audio CD Player....
Listen!
Hope this helps.... If its the way the device is connected (audio plugs
etc) then we may need to do more work.....
Cheers!

There's no pressing need for third party memory manglers unless you need to
squeze every last byte of UMBs.... I can normally crack 600Kb using
EMM386.EXE to load SMARTDRV, MSCDEX & the CD-ROM device driver high....

Hi there I'm wondering if any of you have drivers for OS/2 and

I've got a DOS driver for it (CDMKE41.SYS) which works fine, but
the only drivers I've managed to find for OS/2 and WinNT are Creative Labs
ones that NEED a CR-563 drive to work and they just won't look at the 562-b
(sob sob)..
Can anyone let me know where I can get them from or who to talk to.
If anyone has an updated DOS driver please let me know as I like to have
the latest drivers on my BBS if possible.

Please excuse my butting in, but it is *good* to see another potential Amiga
user :-) and I thought you might be interested in some other replies as well.
I've just recently purchased an NEC MultiSpin CDR74-1. The CDR74-1 is an
external SCSI I & II drive with 280 milli second access rate, 300K data
transfer rate, 256K buffer, and is Kodak Multisession Photo CD compatible.
I'm using it with an Amiga 3000, using the Xetec CDx file system, which is able
to read ISO 9660, High-Sierra, and Mac HFS. It has an emulation mode that
allows you to make use of many CDTV discs, and it also has a CD Remote program
that allows you to play CDDA (music CDs), and pops up a window with a picture
of the front panel of a CD player that lets you select tracks & scan etc. just
like a real CD player :-)
I'm very pleased with the combination of the NEC CDR74-1 and Xetec CDx
software.
Catch 'Ya Later,
Chris.B.

Quite a lot of games now have GUS support (RTZork, 7th GUest,
Silverball, Darksun, Terminator Rampage etc), for those that don't you
can emulate SB or Roland, or General MIDI.
Some games sound funny with SB emulation (small number), but as most
games also support Roland, usually Roland emulation is used, it sounds
much better than any SB/Pro/16 etc.
Next week the Roland emulator will also support simultaneous SB dac
emulation. Wicked!

So much for the video speed, but what CD-ROM drive do you have? If it's a

Mini tower 200W power Supply (Maby some noise from here, but I don't think so)
386 Chichony 40MHZ OPTI board
120meg Seagate
Unique IO/IDE card
Sound Galaxy NX PRO revised
Creative CD-ROM CR523b...
BOCA Tseng ET4000 1MB VGA card
It seems the noise happens with CPU activity and Screen updates.. Like in
Windows the sound it much worse than in dos.. In 'nother program the sound may
have a different pich than in anudder.. I use Shielded cables from my CD-ROM,
and the PC Speaker is NOT connected to the sound card, so it doesn't come from
there. It also seems to make a bit more noise when the HDD is active...
This is very annoying, as the noise records with the normal sound, and you can
hear it perfectly.. Is there any way to make this noise less, and from where
would most of it come? Isn't there a way to sheild the SGNXPRO from the PC?

Read: [N/A] Private: No
The latest Nec Cd-Rom internal is the CDR-73 which was introduced in 1991-92
and the CDR-55 was probably the first generation CD-ROM, the 150/b kbs is
average rate for a single spin CD-ROM and the 300/kbs is double-spin, the
multi session and kodac photo cd are newer tecnologies so I a doubt that it
would have either but it MIGHT have kodac photo, multi session is too new
,there might be an upgrade if you want to upgrade it to CDR-73 status but I
don't know.
The things you should consider in a CD--ROM is the speed in KBS (kilobytes a
sec) and on board cache size (usualy 256 is the best 128 is fairly good 64 is
average in K), you want to consider the access rate in miliseconds (350 isn't
that fast, like I said its a first generation CD-ROM most now are 300 or
below) the CDR-55 I'd say is a fairly good Drive, not the best Drive out
there but good, if your going to use it for animation and video clips you
might look to see if there is a CD-73 upgrade, you might find t your video
clips to be slightly jerky on the CDR-66, other than that it sounds like you
got an older but still good quality CD-ROM, NEC's are a better quality
CD-ROMS
And for anyone who is interested Panasonic just came out with a CD-ROM drive
that holds 6 CD-Roms! and has Quadra-spin! (4X normal CD-ROM speed and 2X
multi spin). And Nec's new 1994 model CD-ROMS are coming out with
Tripple-Spin and have an improved look, they've added volume controls and a
LCD screen so its more interactive then there previous models... If ya need
more info phone 1-800-NEC-INFO
C ya!

I bought a PAS16 after reading all the sound card reviews this year. Every
review gave the PAS16 the best award. The only thing reviews said about the
GUS was this card is not recommended.
I plan to get a GUS running the new MegaEm driver when it comes out to add to
my PAS16 & CD-ROM setup. That'll give me MT-32 and SB compatibility. From
what i've read on the GUSMAX that will be a great card. It takes the GUS and
adds things to it to make it more mainstream. The current GUS is not very SB
compatible, does not record in 16-bit, has no SCSI builtin and has no MIDI
something.

I got the Toshiba 3401E drive five months ago, by then the fastest single-disk
drive on the market. But now a slew of new drives are out, some of which just
eek past the 330kB/sec transfer rate of the 3401, and only the new 3X NEC
drives beat the 200ms access time by 5ms. Oh sure, the 3X can deliver 450kB
transfer, but I've read elsewhere that it would consume much of the CPU
processing, so it's still unknown territory for 3X drives and beyond, with the
probable exception of Pioneer's 4X, 6-disc 604X drive.
Until then, the 3401E drive is still a strong performance, high-quality,
compatible-with-everything-else drive (now at a even better value, of course),
and also a good stepping stone for my computing needs for some time, if not
years, to come. And I'm less inclined to do an upgrade unless the higher speed
drives and CD-ROM titles that take advantage of the higher speeds start
flooding the markets.

Subj: Pkzip problems Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi gang,
I have owned a Texel CD rom drive for almost a year. I got the dual speed
wonder and have been very satisfied with it with one exception:
Every single night owl disk I use when the file goes to actually unzip the
tagged or highlighted file, the machine reboots. Not just a warm boot but a
"back to the memory count" hard boot.
Here is what I have done.
I called Trantor - the mfg of the controller card. Their response was "Duh, I
dunno must be a sound card conflict"
I pulled the sound card, with no effect.
Ultimately, the decision was to eliminate the memory manager altogether. I
removed QEMM same thing happened.
I called Night Owl, sent them a fax explaining my problem. They said it was the
first time they had EVER heard of this problem, the problem was not in their
rom but in PKunzip. They gave me setting for my autoexec file and said "Duh, we
dunno but thos will help.... maybe"
I called Phil Katz and faxed him my sad story. Phil's lovely assistant handled
this and said he had never heard of any problem what so ever with this. He
suggested that I send him my computer complete with cd-rom and he'd "take a
look at it and return it after extensive testing".
Right! I'm gonna send Phil my 16meg, 450 meg Hd along with the rom and all
three night owl disks so he can "do extensive testing".
I called Texel today. They said: "there is a known bug in Pkunzip which results
in the rebooting of your computer when you try to unzip a file off of a cd rom
disk"
THE POINT OF ALL THIS:
With denial running rampant by all parties- what is the cause of this problem.
It can't be that this is true for all roms people wouldn't stand for it. Is it
just texel? I asked if it could be the scsi-2 card. Texel said they thought it
would make no differene.
Any ideas out there?
If you have this problem- call Phil Katz's BBS and log the error so that he
will fix the bug (if it really is a bug)

LR> 4000RPM.
So what does 4000 RPM translate into? Would that be 4X, 5X, 10X
20X? I have been told that CDROMs (and CDs) have a constant
angular velocity so that they would spin fastest (RPM) when they
are reading the first part of the disc. Do you know what the
rotational speed of a 1X CDROM is when it is reading the
beginning of the disc?

The MT-32 and SCC-1 aren't suppose to play digital sound effects, just MIDI.
But, a new GUS MegaEm driver just got released that supports MT-32 (general
MIDI) and Sound Blaster sound FX at the same time.

Actually, there's a new GUS MegaEm driver that will play General MIDI music

call Epic Pinball. It supports native GUS music/FX and plays pretty well too!
If you get the chance, download it!

KH>Apparently it shows up when you install the program. A heuristic virus?
The .ZIP file contains a self extracting archive inside it. Use PKUNZIP
to extract the files. Now the file, SPORT.COM contains the virus but I
couldn't detect it either at first. It is compressed with PKLITE. I used
PKLITE with the -x option to restore the .COM file to original size and
scanned it again. That is when SCANV108 found it. From comments here,
it appears the self extracting archive installs itself in the C:\DOS
directory and somehow infects the files there. It seems to be after
your DOS files.

SysOp: Thomas Shaffer
Produced for Walnut Creek CDROM
Walnut Creek CDROM and Thomas Shaffer are proud to present the Space
and Astronomy CDROM. This disc is based on space and astronomy
related software and images that have 6600 files in 92 categories.
This CDROM contains many programs, images and text files.
To make navigating around this CDROM easier, there are several files
located within the root directory.
00_index.txt - Descriptions of all the files.
00_index.z - Descriptions of all the files - unix compress format.
00_index.zip - Descriptions of all the files - Dos zip format.
cdf.exe - Index file keyword searcher.
dirs.lst - Listing of directories with descriptions.
filename.lst - List of all filenames.
filename.z - List of all filenames - unix compress format.
filename.zip - List of all filenames - Dos zip format.
gds.bat - A good gif file viewer. Install it on your hard disc for better
performace. (See gds docs.)
go.bat - Will Automatically Display the READ.ME file.
images\ - Image directories.
programs\ - Program directories.
read.me - The file you are reading now.
sound\ - Sounds.
text\ - Text files, unzipped for direct viewing.
text_zip\ - Text files, zipped for BBS use.
treeinfo.ncd - Norton Utilities (r) database for quick directory changes.
view.exe - A text file viewing program that can be used to display any
text file. To view the DIRS.LST in the root directory of t
CDROM drive and typing VIEW DIRS.LST.
parameters this program automatically w
the directories on the CDROM disc. It
text files, unzipping program files, an
vpic.bat - An excellent gif file viewer. Install it on your hard disc
for better performace. (See vpic docs.)
unzip.exe - Uncompress program for ZIP files.
_bbs\ - BBS index files.
Viewers are included for several different systems. They are located in the
directory ``viewers''. If you have an msdos system with a graphics display,
you can run the program ``view.exe'' and use your cursor to select images to
view. To view the images using either GDS or VPIC, you can run the program
``GDS.BAT'' or ``VPIC.BAT'' respectively. These program are shareware.
(Viewing the images on this CDROM with VPIC does not require registration.
Other use does.)
Due to the large number of incompatible video cards, most viewers will not work
on all systems. So if a particular viewer doesn't work with your system, try
another. Both viewers will work better and offer more colors if you install
them for your video card. You'll need to copy the files to your hard disk and
select the correct initialization file for your video card. See the respective
documentation for GDS and VPIC.
Amiga users can use the installed viewer in viewer\amiga\viewtek.
Mac users can use the installed viewers in viewer\mac\...
The source code and documentation for unzip.exe is in
\viewers\msdos\unz51p1.exe.
Many of the programs on this disc are shareware, and require separate payment
to the author of the program for continued use. You are free to try shareware
programs for a limited amount of time. If you continue to use the program,
you are expected to register the program by sending a specified amount of
money directly to the author of the program. In many cases the author will
send you the most up to date version of the program and a printed manual.
Please check individual files for conditions.

In California we have a chain of fast photo developing stores

CD work. Prices for slides or negatives xferd to CD:
1-50 .88 ea.
51-200 .79 ea.
201+ .62 ea.
Add 6.00 for each CD Disk
The xfer work is done in Texas, and they say allow 10 days
for work and mail delay. Prices seem quite reasonable, and
perhaps someone would want to investigate further.

CD32 is a cd based game machine with a double speed cd rom drive. It has the
brains of an Amiga 1200 computer, with 32 bit processor, bus, and graphics
chips. It should compete very well with CDI, Sega CD, and 3DO. It has a list
price of $399, but is already selling for $360 or so from Canada. It will be
formally introduced in the U.S. in January, and price is expected to drop to
$300.

that the CD's have a CLV of 1.2m/s. At the inner track, that works out to be
about 4700RPM.
Do you know what the

I'm not certain if the beginning of the disk is near the center or the
outer rim. At the outer rim, it is probably running about 1500 RPM, for a
music CD. I don't know how CD-ROMs compare. One can overcome the mechanical
limitations by reading more than one track at a time.

And I'm just wondering what graphics you need to run 7Th Guest. Some people
said you need SVGA but I only have VGA with 256 colors. So, can anyone help?

It would be a good idea if you can get Fidonet facilities on your BBS and
install yourself a Fax machine. You make it expensive and difficult to get in
touch with because of lack of these. It may also be a good idea that you make
it clear that you don't have Fidonet mail facilities, even though you do have a

one channel to start with - se how you go - but watch out for RFI from

have FM transmitter to reduce interference.

Not to intrude on your conversation but you might be interested to know that
the GUS has been around almost 2 years now. I'd hate to see you miss a great

If you have solved all the puzzles shown on the map...you only have two

If I were you I wouldn't buy a Video Card powered by an S3 chip.
(You can't run seventh guest on super vga mode) Why don't you look at
something else like a Cirrus Logic Based card. At least you will be able
to play seventh guest. Diamond Speedstar Pro has a Cirrus Logic chipset.
Look into that. And you get better drivers. They have OS/2 2.1 drivers
for Cirrus Logics. You can get these at the Cirrus Logic BBS. Later

No no no. He he he. You just need the new T7G_130 upgrade from the
virgin bbs. This fixes the problem. The problem with Cirrus Logic
cards is that the VESA driver is on ROM and T7G didn't like this. I
have a cirrus logic Vesa local bus card and it wouldn't work at first,
then I got the upgrade T7G_130.exe and walla it worked. They also have
an update vesa driver. Version 1.2 or something. This should be the
one that you are talking about. Later

Buy the GUS, basically because it now has better support than the Pas16. Of
course, I'm going to hear some nasty "you don't know what you're talking about"
messages as soon as this message gets around. But, it is true. The GUs now has
support for most SB programs and MT-32 in wavetable as well. Not only that,
but there is a new driver that allows the GUs to play both SB fx AND General
MIDI at the same time ! This of course is in addition to the huge support GUS
has been getting from game companies, such as Id, Epic, Apogee, Electronic
Arts, Sierra, and many others. The GUS also sounds ALOT better than the PAS-16
musicwise because the GUS doesn't use FM. Not only that, the GUS is cheaper.
... 32 digital voices, that's either a GUS or 16 PAS-16's.

Epic Megagames, Electronic Arts, and so on and so forth, and a lot of DEMo
groups are making the GUS they music and effects platform, so just look at the
specs for each of these cards and then the price and you will see that the GUS
just makes more sense, TTYL.

have tried about 2 caches and saw absolutely no change in speed or

on caches but what if the cache doesn't know where to read-ahead??? In a
game like Wing Commander where there is a continous flow of data, yes
the read-ahead feature would come handy, but games that do not have that

Steve,
Thanks for writing. Yes, the disc can still be used, but I'd advise
not to have these infected files available to users on your bbs. It seems at
this point everyone is waiting to hear back from McAffe to determine the
seriousness of this problem.
We at config.sys are no longer selling this title without including the
virus location information. The irony we experienced from our recall is that
instead of haveing many returns, our sales of this title doubled.

Pioneer already has 4x for their new changers. The upper limit of disc
rotational speed is determined by calculating how likely the consumer is to
fall for the same stunt time-after-time and upgrade their equipment.

George, to get to the attic, go down the short hallway next to the
second floor bathroom. If you have finished enough of the game you will
see a knocker on the door. It is called the Flying knives puzzle. When
you complete it the door will open and you will go up to the attic. This
is where the dollhouse is. Once you are in the attic you will not be
able to leave until you finish the game. The dollhouse is the last
puzzle. After you solve it go thru the door that is beyond the large
chest to see the conclusion and the programmer credits. Hope this helps.
Let me know if it does. See ya

Well, if you've ever been infected with a virus you wouldn't say that. When
you pay 30 or 40 bucks for a CD, you should expect it to be virus free. No
other CD on the market is infected with 1 virus let alone 3 or more. According
to your line of thought, no one should get mad if they buy a car and on the way
home the engine falls out. After all, with all the cars they've built, it was
bound to happen sooner or later.

We're getting setup to offer photo transfers to CD-ROM. This service will
NOT be done through Kodak however, which means the price will be roughly

JH>Well you would think the money they make from the sale of Night Owl cd's
JH>they would have more concern for their customers.
Perhaps they are, they did try to be the first to market with what
people claim to want, new files. There are bound to be more such
problems in the future, if people want new, new, now. The virus
scanners can't have the new virri, until the virus has been detected.
If the virus isn't detected, then why should the compilers be blamed
for one showing up on a compilation?
It would be different altogether if the virus was one of the older
ones that was easily detected by any current scanner.
JH>But then its all money anyways isn't it?
JH>I think Night Owl should recall all their disk and reimburse all who
JH>paid out for this disk.
How do they do this, in a timely manner? I didn't sign anything when I
bought my copy. I bought it at a show, and left no name with the
vendor. If they advertise in the computer magazines, the shareware
magazines, and any other venue, they will be up to six months in the
doing and still not catch the eye of all the purchasers.
If this were GM with a defect what do you think
JH>the Federal Government would do to them?
GM charges quite a bit more for there product, and I think if they would
give out the information, you would find litigation contingencies
built into the the price of the vehicle. They also count on the users
being capable of driving the vehicle if they buy it. If anyone uses
the files off a CD, BBS, or any other source without testing it them
selves, why should they blame someone else for their judgement. After
all everyone, by now, should be at least aware there are virri out
there.
JH>BTW there is a file on the disk with the MEMORY LAPSE VIRUS.
JH>Joe
There is a rumor of a third, and there may indeed be more. Since I
don't use it on a BBS, I've no desire to bother to set up the program
to un archive every file on the disc and test them all.
I will test every one that I un archive though.

Hello, I am interested in the Phoenix 3.0. I am a sysop of a rather large
multiline BBS up in Maine. I have the v4.0 disc and all I can say is it is very
bug ridden and incomplete. I have reviewed the v3.0 disc on another system and
to me it looks alot better. Can you comment on this?
You can reach me at 207-786-3207 after 5:15pm est or anytime on weekends with
the total price for this disc. Thanks again!

Just curious if anyone out there has tried using a Panasonic 562
or 563 in OS/2. I have a 563 (Matsushita), and am looking at getting the
new OS/2 for Windows (Ferengi). What do I need to do to get it to work
with my Soundman 16 and my CD-ROM? The Soundman is prettty much the same
card as the PAS 16 without the SCSI adaptor, it even uses the same sound
drivers.
Other opinions wanted: How would Ferengi perform on a AMD 386DX/40
with 8 megs of RAM? Would it be slow? (couldn't be much slower than
Win 3.1.)
Thanks
Lyle

Don't bother with the ST02 or ST01. They are pretty much useless

They are proven cards that work with just about all CDROM drives..
As for COREL SCSI, it works great for me .

I'm looking for an external CD-ROM drive for my TI 4000E DX2/50
notebook. The drive itself doesn't particularly need to be portable. I
can think of two ways of doing this: buy a drive designed to run off a
parallel port, or buy an exernal SCSI drive and a Trantor MiniSCSI
cable. I expect the second way's best, but the first way may be cheaper.
I can put up with below-spec multimedia, but there are a few games I
need to try out, too :-)
(Vaguely related question: Does the Creative Labs Portblaster exist yet,
and, if it does, is it SB-compatible from DOS or only from within a

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hello All!
I just upgraded my system from 5.0 to 6.0, and then applied the 6.2 step-up
package. I had 6.0 for a while, but didn't put it on until I got the 6.2
update.
Anyway, now the CD-ROM seems quite a bit more sluggish. I have all the same
settings in config.sys and autoexec.bat, and I even have the new smartdrv with
CD-ROM caching. But with that on or off the performance still seems quite a
bit more sluggish than under 5.0.
For the record, I have a Mitsumi LS005 drive which has served me fine. I'm not
sure if it's a problem/incompatibility between the driver and DOS 6 or what.
I have a CD-ROM "MacroMedia Action! & ClipMedia" that I went into DOS and did a
"dir /w /s", and it goes for a while and just 'hangs' with the CD_ROM light on
solid. Eventually it spits out the next dir and then hangs for a while on the
next one. It seems to me that under DOS 5.0 it never had that problem, zipped
right through them all.
Any suggestions on where to look, or am I just being really paranoid?
Peace!

You are in luck, OS/2 supports your drive...BUT...only for data access unless

I am using my Panasonic CR-562B with the GUS. I Don't have the Panasonic
Daughterboard for the GUS though so I'm using an interface card. Works
flawlessly. The only thing that I hated with my Panasonic was that it
used a different line out connector. This wouldn't fit with the GUS
CD-Input connector. I did a little surgery on the wire and it worked.
BTW there is no Panasonic adapter for the GUS. Currently available is
MITSUMI and SONY. SCSI will be out later.. Lates..

I have a Chinon 431 that I use on my MAC. I also have the proprietary scsi

I'm willing to part with it for $75. Either way I'd like to hear from you

The best you can do is buy a Panasonic, not sure of the model number but it
runs around $259 on the low side. It's Doublespeed, XA, and Multisession. and
It plugs into the SB Pro. Thus as you know this saves you $100 - $400 on a
SCSI I or II Card.

I think they may be making use of the T128, and that may be the problem as it
is an 8 bit implementation, and may hence be a bottleneck, causing the CPU to
poll more. Also it's not a very "smart" chipset; don't think it supports
connects/disconnect on the SCSI bus.
It'd be interesting if you try it with the 1540.

Yeah, but at what level will the 74-1/84-1 be then? I'd hope they'll come down,
so you essentially get the same pricing. Actually, the current pricing of the
NEC double spin readers are not very competitive considering the Toshiba is not
much more (a lot depends on your supplier I suppose).
Side note: The Panasonic will probably have to be replaced; for some reason
loses the CD after some time. On initial boot it's fine, but after running
continuously for 18-20 hours, I can't access the drive. Must try it out under
DOS and see; so far I can't get it to work with the Panasonic supplied drivers
on the SB Pro, even with the /SBP:220 switch which you amongst others suggested
to someone else; will try CL own drivers, but the CP BBS is pretty flaky
(download problems etc, and tested against a few other BBS and checked out ok).

Hmm.. perhaps NEC has tried to come into the market too early with a product
that's not finished, just to be first. Same as for their 74/84 which had to be
upgraded.

Have you tried the SBCD2PAN.ZIP, about 11K, dated 4th Oct (the drivers
themselves were Sept)? It seems to work, when the drive decides to work that is
(I get drive not ready messages after running the drive (well, power on anyway)

You're quite welcome to Freq it from here, if you'd send up the DOS drivers

I'd not recommend the Trantor (which the NEC is); get an Adaptec or even the

DAT; I find my slower HD has problems keeping up with the DAT drive (which is

Don,
Along with Caveat Emptor which is always quoted especially by purveyors
of shoddy goods one of the precepts that used to be supported widely by
the courts was that a product should be fit to do what it was intended
or purported to do. It is not unreasonable to expect a company selling
a compilation of shareware to insure that that shareware is virus free
in that the purchaser is buying that product for the safety that should
be inherent rather than downloading free from a BBS that may not check
each and every upload by its users. It is Shareware and it can be had
FREE. The only thing a compiler adds for the price of the disk is
convenience and safety. Of the two safety is the more important and in
this case Night Owl failed to deliver it.
Night Owl should really replace the disk if they want to remain
credible. I for one would stay away from any future poroduct of theirs
if they don't.

Hey Don,
Thanks for replying to my questions.
Now I did pay $30.00 for this product and I don't buy from third party
computer show vendors. I buy mine direct from a in business company.
Now I do realize it is quite difficult to find every niche and gliche,
but there are laws that hold all of us responsible for our actions.
If this action be private or public we are all still responsible.
And this is the day and age of liability lawsuits. So if this file is on
a bbs or even if you got i from a buddy, he or she could and in most
cases would sue you or I in the drop of a hat.
There are bbs's now in court for more minor offenses. And some where
even setup by their local authorities.
Time for a big change I would think.
I am agreeing with you on all matters discussed, but still think NIGHT
OWL or any compiler should be more choosing of where they are getting
their file database.

Thanks, Mike. I appreciate it. Overall, it looks like a good disc, but

If I am correct, the "seek" time is doubled or tripled with these drives
but the data transfer rates remain the same. So you may get a 180ms access
time but are still stuck with a possibly low transfer rate which is
really what counts.
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but be nice about it <g>.

TO ALL HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE DEALERS: DO NOT SELL any merchandise to a
person calling himself JASON AVARAM. This person is illegally using other
people's credit card numbers to order merchandise for himself. Ron
Urbassik at Goosebump Graphics, myself, and a few other dealers have been
burned by this thief, so be careful!!
Occasionally, as in my case, he had a woman call on his behalf to place
the order.
This team of crooks has merchandise shipped to various addresses in
Florida, which usually turn out to be hotels, or drop boxes, and they
do prefer OVERNIGHT shipping.
Here was the address used for their $194 purchase from us:
JASON AVARAM

The authorities in Altamonte Springs have been notified, but no word has
been received yet as to their success in tracking these people down, so
if you receive ANY suspicious calls from someone fitting this profile,
CHECK IT OUT THOROUGHLY before shipping anything!!!!

other technically-oriented programs. Price is $22. Other good choices
would be Source CD @ $20, Technotools @ $13, C User's Group Library @ $31,
and we're also taking pre-orders on what will be the MOST CURRENT programmer's
disc: CD Sourcebox @ $29. Let me know if any of these interest you!

I've had it for some time now, and asked for help with no responce (i
thought I was the only one also). I'm at the last moment of the last (4th) day
and just can't win.
To get past the first day you must give Anniset (sp?) the cross
neckless and show the big knife you get in the mail to, ummm, I can't remember
the guys name, the dude with the office who blows you off at home and tells you
to see him at his office. If you do both those things the vamp will miss you
that night and you can move on to more grusome things.
Now about winning......

Barb, Trident supplies drivers for Windows which must be installed
using Windows Setup program (select the "Other" driver option). You should
have gotten the driver disks when you got the card. If you didn't or if
you've had the card very long then call their BBS and download the newest
version of their drivers. I upgraded from the drivers I got with the card
to Ver C4.31S and it improved my Windows video performance quite noticably.
I don't even know if that is the _current_ release, but I am very pleased.
If you have the 8900CL Trident card w/ 1 meg you should be able to do
1024 x 768 resolution (interlaced and non-interlaced) at at least 256
colors and many more colors if your card has the RAMDAC chip which is
available. Of course, I don't know what the limitations of your monitor
are - what it can support may also be an issue. I'm sorry to say that
I do not have their BBS phone number but perhaps some helpful soul can
supply it in case you need it.

Seeing that the card is new, understandable ..
Seeing that it supports the SB/MT-32/GM Hardware level is nice ..
And the price $220 is pretty decent considering what all ya get ..
I do like the GUS simply for the way it is set up .. But I'd like to see
it with a bit more RAM, and good stable SB/etc support ..

Just a couple of quick questions, I've been looking at drives lately
and am leaning towards the Texel, Any comments (Besides the PKZIP thing)
about the drive? Anybody else have any comments on the drive? I currently
have a PAS16 and have reached the point where I can't put off the CDROM
purchase any longer as some data I use is going to be supplied in CD
starting Jan 1...
As to the PKZIP thing I know of a case where One of six identical
machines was continually locking up when pkunzip was used, identical bios
setups and configs. Never did figure out the cause, but got the supplier
to swap motherboards, and it's worked fine since... If you get the chance
try swapping the components to a different machine and try the same thing...

Subj: Re: CD-ROM Information Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
AS> Can anybody give me some information about CD-ROMs.
I'll try...
AS> What are the minimum requirements for a CD-ROM to work?
That you have it installed in an IBM or compatible computer of some
sort. That you have it correctly installed. That you have a disc in
the drive.
AS> * What is the minimum processor type and speed?
Just about anything you want to put it on will work. If you're playing
games from CD-ROM, you'll probably want at least a peppy 286 minimum,
but they'll run from an 8088. If you're just doing file transfers
(i.e., using a CD-ROM for file storage for a BBS), a 4.77 Mhz IBM PC
8088 will work. Whatever memory you have installed is adequate.
AS> * What is the minimum amount of memory?
640k will do quite nicely.
AS> * Does a CD-ROM require windows?
Nope. Billy Gates would like you to believe that it does, but it
doesn't. I'm running several CD-ROMs, right from DOS, on 286 machines.
AS> * What kind of a monitor is required?
To display what, man?? If you just want to look at text
files, a Hercules monochrome monitor will work. If you want it for
games, then you'll need a monitor accordingly, depending on what the
game is written for.
AS> * Anything else?
Not really.
AS> Which CD-ROM performs the best?
Which is better, Steak or Spaghetti? That's an extremely loaded
question! "Best" for what purpose????? If you want to fool with
multi-media, then you'll want at least a double-speed drive of fairly
recent vintage. Most of the name brand drives are very good values for
what you pay. Stick with Panasonic or Sony or Hitachi and you'll be
OK.
AS> * Is higher access time more important than the transfer rate (in KB)?
Usually, but again it depends on what you're trying to do with your
CD-ROM.
AS> * What is the minimum access time and transfer rate for smooth video?
What KIND of video??????? You're just too vague with your questions.
Do you want just to look at GIF files, or do you want to play
fast-moving games in real-time?
AS> Do you know of any good multimedia packages?
AS> * Is it better to to buy a multimedia package or CD-ROM and sound card
AS> separately?
Well, what kind of prices have you been quoted? If you can get a
CD-ROM in a package with the sound card of your choice, and the package
sells for less than they would sold separately, then the package is the
better deal. On the other hand, if you can get the components cheaper
when sold separately, then get the components separately.
AS> * I was considering a Media Visions multimedia package with a 16-bit s
AS> card and an external NEC CD-ROM (It includes Labtec speakers and 5 C
AS> for $398.99. Is this a good deal?
Sounds good.
AS> * Do you know of any good offers?
Have you browsed through Computer Shopper lately? There are
approximately 37 thousand offers in there. Take your pick.

Last time I was at Egghead Software, they were selling little packages

maybe your camera stores haven't kept up with times. If you can't find

they'll sell them to you by mail. I know they take all credit cards,

Actually, you can get a great deal on a new Mac with a built-in
CD-ROM. When you add up the price of putting together a multi-media PC,
the Mac isn't that much more. You can even get 16-bit sound cards for
'em too.

I just picked up the 6.2 update from Microsoft and installed it. The version
that comes with DOS 6.2 is in fact v5.0. You are still using the old version
of SMARTDRV. During installation SETUP looks in your autoexec.bat to see if
you are using another Caching program, if you are, SETUP does NOT install the
updated version of SMARTDRV (how screwy). This happened to me the first time,
so after I added smartdrv to my autoexec, I re-ran setup and it installed
SMARTDRV.

Rebel Assault has been very late getting released. The last date I
heard was mid-November, so it shouldn't be much longer. I did get to
see a demo of it that is included on the "Day of the Tentacle" CD-Rom.
I didn't realize it was a Star Wars game. It looks pretty sharp from
what I saw in the demo. I'll have it in stock as soon as it is shipped
to the major distributors. Most titles are shipped within 24 hours of
the order being placed. If I don't have it in stock yet, I normally
receive it in three days and ship it out the same day I get it. Some
titles, such as Rebel Assault, are very difficult to predict. The only
thing I can guarantee is that I will ship it as soon as it is available
to me. Most titles are no problem.

No, it hasn't been released yet. They have had a significant delay in
their release date. There is nothing more I can do to speed that up.
As far as Fido goes, I don't have netmail capabilities. I read it on

prohibited by moderators). I have sent you a letter regarding the

Hi Phil. I agree with your line of thought that you should expect to
get a virus free disc when you buy a CD-Rom, but you are mistaken when
you say no other CD-Rom on the market has any virii. Many virii don't
show up during normal testing. I am not excusing Night Owl for their
mistakes, but this is certainly not a first. Does anybody know if
Scanv107 would detect the virii found on Night Owl 10? New virii come
out so fast, the only way to be safe is to test before using shareware,
regardless of the source. Don't count on anyone doing that for you,
even if they do test it with some anti-virus software.

That's not exactly true. The docs say to do a Ctrl-F5 and skip the line that
asks you to load Dblspace.

Geezzeee, I had begun to suspect that I was going crazy. I have what I
thought is a Panasonic 563 double speed w/SB-16. Bought as a complete

Hi Eric, Sounds like a good buy @80 bucks. You need to supply
additional information regarding :-
1. Which version of PAS16 are they selling ? MediaVision has
one version for Sony CD-ROM & one for SCSI. If you have the
SCSI version, I can give you a copy of the SCSI driver (latest ver)
2. If your NEC has it's only SCSI card already, just hook up the
4pin audio cable (you can get it @radio-shack or MediaVision)
from your NEC to the 4pin connector on the PAS16 and those should
work. You can then used PAS.EXE to adjust the vol. of your NEC's
audio output.
Cheers!

There is no directory 060a.
It's either your drive or your disc, but it's not the *model* of either since
we have the same. Try going to Radio Shack with your NightOwl 9 and see if

Alan,
I tried the CD in my Hitachi drive, and used it for almost an hour, reading
the almanac, looking at nice VGA pictures, listening to audio, etc. with no
problems. Nevertheless, I will replace it to you at my cost just as soon
as our long-overdue shipment arrives, if that is what you prefer. I'm not
convinced that sending another will solve the problem, but we can give it
a shot and see what happens. As it stands right now, you have a credit on
your account to use as you wish, but I just ordered a bunch of Microsoft
titles from another, more reliable supplier and they confirmed that we
will have them shortly. Unless I hear differently from you, I'll go
ahead and send the replacement as soon as they come in. I know it's been
a while, but we've had sort of a tough time finding a steady source on the
'93's. I sold the one you returned, and have had no reports of problems
with it.

Hello all! I'm new to this conference, so I hope this message is in

Well, I just purchased A NEC MultiSpin CDR-500. I have yet to
install this puppy, so I'm looking for some good advice on accomplishing
this task.
I have a PAS 16 sound card, and my understanding is that I need to
call MediaVision for drivers and a SCSI adapter. Is this correct? Also,
I would like the sound card to handle the sound from the player, rather
than just "pass it through." Do I need to use the feature connector for
this?
And finally, should I make the call to MS BBS to get DOS 6.2 for
CD-ROM caching? How does the cache affect performance?
Thanks for any replies.

Do you have any more information on Safe Harbor, such as the address? Are they
filling orders yet, or are they still just taking advance orders?
By the way, I just heard that Commodore is building the next Amiga DOS, and
it will include routines to emulate the chunky-to-planar Akiko chip. This will
insure a lot of compatibility between the CD-32 and the rest of the Amiga
line.
Have you heard any word about the MPEG upgrade circuit for the CD-32, and how
much it will cost? If MPEG is cheap enough, it will allow a lot of households
to use the CD-32 as a digital laser movie player, in addition to the audio CD
and CD-ROM capability. Just think, Commodore could have a major impact upon
the consumer market - the CD-32 could make a significant dent in VCR sales.
I've noticed that Commodore stock has gone up dramatically recently - I expect
it to be trading higher than Atari Corp soon. This is another
double-your-money fast opportunity, just as Atari was several months ago
before it shot from $4 to $10.
