CM> VC> Does anyone out there know? Any info is greatly needed. Thanks!
CM>I do not think the drive can be upgrade to double speed. First you have to

Thanks for the response, single speed drives do seem to be getting
outdated though, now they have 4xspeed drive (of course they cost a
fortune).

Subj: Advertising on Fido Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Boris, I was surprised to see you advertising here again.
I saw three of your ads today and several yesterday.
I thought you told me you weren't going to advertise on Fido anymore,
because you weren't happy with the problems you had with people on here.
Did I possibly misunderstand you?
By the way, I haven't forgotten about our disagreement. I still would
appreciate a refund of half that shipping charge we spoke about.
I think a $20.00 refund out of the $42.00 I spent to return the stuff to you
would be fair. You said I should have sent it back by US Mail instead of
delivery service. If I had done that, the cost would still have been more than
$20.00, so it's still fair to refund me at least
$20.00, which is actually a little less than half of what I spent.

I'm doing exactly that here. Make sure you add the /S to the MSCDEX line
to allow CD-ROM Sharing... that's the only thing I can think of. Also,
I assume you're using the MSCDEX that came with WFW.
Hope this helps.... Nigel

I found the exact same thing myself. I ordered a package early (11 am) and

I know what you mean. He sounded very friendly on the phone and gave me all
the information that I asked for.. too easily. I think he may have actually
said at one point that he was going to get the CDs that I was ordering so he
could give me some more info on the duplication rates. Evidently he just
made up some figures and managed to suck me in. I see now that he's back
and advertising again in this echo. For a millisecond I was tempted to ask
him about some prices.. but once bitten, twice shy I'm going to keep away
from the creep.

something else and decided.....why? I'm using EZRom Door and have no trouble
setting up other disks, it's a snap.
Soooo.......anyone want to trade me something? Pier 4, Cream of the

I already have Flame.
I need to get some files up for my users before I lose them.

It sounds more interesting all the time. But, did you say what the name
of the program is, and where it comes from? If so, I missed it. Also,
can you tell me the name of the supplier with the best price? I have a
small Freischilling Kanto with Reifeisenbank in Oesterreich that I use
for occasional European purchases, so a direct purchase in OS, DM or SF
is not out of the question.
I would also be interested in access to the "standard sentences" of
colloquial usage that you say you have added. Is there an exchange,
formal or otherwise, of such libraries? Perhaps, through a users group,
or even an email conference? I am particularly interested in those
subsets of the language that are used in Bergsport and information
technology (quite a combination, nicht war?).
Could you comment on the relative usefulness of Languages of the World?
And, do you know the CD, Dictionaries and Languages? Oh, and what takes
you to Tokyo? And, where is home?

Thanks, Patty. That's the board I've been leaning toward. But, the new

of the Cardinal board seem to fit at least as well. Although, the
comments about sound quality leave me a little cool on the Cardinal. Do
you (or, anyone else listening in) have any experience with that sound
board?

I have the same problem with Return to Zork. I think that it's the game

That is a very *GOOD* reason. Most CD-ROM drives made today are 16-bit!
Certainly the older models will be 8-bit, of course. But my statement was
intended to reflect what he could expect should he purchase a CD-ROM drive
from Computer Shopper, the local Egghead software or even here in this echo.
You and I could purchase the top 10 CD-ROM drives currently available and
nine out of ten would require 16-bit interface.
Merely because you have found a "sole" and "rare" exception to my above
statement, does not disprove the point of my general statement.

and I'm very satisfied with it despite the fact that it's a bit overkill due to
the fact that I'm having to currently use the OS/2 drivers for the CDR-84.
It's running on a SB-16 SCSI adapter and works fine.

The printer is rather easy as it's a serial or parallel device and there
are quite a few 'boxes' out that allow that type of peripheral sharing. For
the CD-ROM however, you're going to need some type of network software and
hardware (network cards, cables and the like). Your best bet might be
something like Personal Netware which reputedly comes with Novell DOS 7.

EC> Access time is the BIGGEST difference to the perceived speed of a

EC> video or copyi files from a CD. A Cache helps too!
If I had a choice, I'd take higher transfer rate over faster access time any
day. On a file of any significant size, the drive makes up in faster transfer
what it lost in access time. Of course, that's not the tradeoff. With high-
performance SCSI drives, you get both, with the Matsushita drive you get higher
transfer rate but not much improvement in access time. The fastest SCSI drive
I've seen has an access time of 200ms, the Matsushita CR-562-B has an access
time of 320ms, a difference of 120ms, or 1/8th of a second. This means that
for every 480 files you access, you will lose about 1 minute. This can be
defeated if the drive is optimized, as many MPC titles are; the disc is set
up in such a way that the next file needed is right near the access head when
the previous file is completed, which cuts down the access time considerably.
(this is the equivalent of running PCTools Compress and Directory Sort.

EC Basically it looks like your problem lies with Windows. Make sure
ECyou aren't running anything else in the background since Windows is such
ECa piece of crap of a "Operating Environment" that it can't handle
ECmultimedia worth crap. My suggestion? Try OS/2 for Windows. :>
I am running OS/2 FOr WIndows and while I agree it is sleeker, it still
uses Windows. For Multimedia I actually get BETTER performance for Video

PC Magazine just did a review of a bunch of CD-ROM's. Look at your library

It's a 2x. BTW, they weren't too impressed by the new 3x drives.

Go to the main foyer, turn to face the stairs as if you were going to go up

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Right then. The game is entirely three dimensional, so it looks completely
realistic, which it is. There's a fair amount of video, but not so much as to
take up excess amounts of space. The thing is, with most CD-Rom games, people
figure there's SO MUCH SPACE on the disk that they can pretty much just fill
it up with video. But video gobbles up megabytes, so you find yourself
running throung the 700 or so megabytes available pretty quickly. Myst has a
whole lot of gameplay, because most of the scenes are still. There are movies
though, as I said. The object of the game is to save these worlds from
destruction, fabricated by someone called Altrus. Drawbacks are that it
doesnUt have as much video as most CD-ROM games, although it has a fair amount.
But as I mentioned: less glitz makes for more gameplay. Besides that, itUs a
pretty darned good game. If you have an aversion to future shop, you can
probably pick up a magazin that has some kind of review in it and see some
screen shot. I read a few before I bought it and they were about as positive
about it as, well... me! Well, thereUs the review! Oh, and if youUre looking
for a violent action-type game, look elsewhere. If not.......

Basically, I wasn't trying to start an arguement here. I was simply
trying to make a point. I am well aware of the difference in Audio and
CD, and am also well aware of electronics. In my opinion, there is still
no justification for the cost difference between Audio and ROM other
than demand! It will be only a matter of time when CD-ROM drive prices
fall through the floor as they have already begun to do. I just find it

I've just bought a new game called Megarace and it's one of the best on the

the racetracks are awesome.
I have a dual spin CD-ROM drive and found the full screen (YES ->FULL SCREEN<-)
animations very good; so I thought it was because of my drive that they were so
good... But NO, it works fine on a single speed drive too!!!This game is
definitely a giant step in computer entertainment...
The actor who presents the game is great.
If you're wondering what game you should buy, get this one; it's value for your
money...

Guys, TFX looks like a very interesting flight sim on CD-ROM from the pix
I've seen of it. But, it is not released yet here in the US. It should
be released here very shortly, I think maybe April or May.

I had a Soundblaster 2, and I don't recall it having a CD-ROM port on
it. I think you can route the sound to it somehow (CD-Audio) but I don't

Greetings!
I'm considering buying a CD ROM drive with a sound blaster
but as I have a visual impairment I'm asking the question,
is it worth while going ahead with this.
First of all, are there any CD ROM'S out there that have
audio on them as well as video.
Secondly, I believe that you can hook up a CD ROM drive
through a sound blaster card to play standard audio CD'S, is
this true and if so, can you altemately hook up your
computer to a standard HI FI system and how much would the
whole setup cost (in round figures.)
Finally, I've heard that there are 10 different standards of
CD ROM out there, is this true. This has been one of the
main reasons I've ben holding off buying one, the technology
might change tomorrow, what about the new MINIDISK system
that is soon to be launched for PC'S etc.
If any one out there has any ideas of knowledge of this,
please reply (I'm very interested and very curious about the
whole thing.)

ok, well the card would have a connection on it like any normal cdrom control
card, and as for the video card i believe what happens is the same as when
using a standard video card, you plug the monitor into the video card and then
using a cable you connect the vga card to it through the extra connector on top
of the vga card.
? support, you means software, well i hope thats what you mean, you get all the
software you need to drive it and their is lots of CD out now and more coming
out that support it.

Ahh, so that's why a lot of other dealers have been telling me that they
don't have it yet. I did just get a response from him today and he's going

Like I said, he's got all three in stock and is giving me a relatively good
deal on all three. Yep, I did get your catalogue. In fact, I may have been
the first one to get it since I had to deal with the sysop (you?) when I
couldn't download the file properly. I called back later and got it okay.
You do have fairly good prices. Perhaps I'm wrong but I think it is STILL
cheaper to order most things from the US, even if it does involve more
messing around.

No it's not the 2000. It appears, from a cursory glance, to be

BRAD FRONDORF\LEO MILLER\CD CACHE\03-23-94 12:38\
Hi Brad,
Thanks for the reply. I'm still trying to find the best combination
of disk caches for my CD-ROM. It's an old, slow single speed NEC-36 and
needs every bit of cache help. Usually don't give Bill Gates accolades, but
maybe Micro$oft did something right with 6.2's Smartdrv. Without it, my
old NEC's thruput was about 90 Kbps, and 2 Meg's of Smartdrv improved it
to about 153 Kbps using CDTA analysis. Not bad for a drive rated at 150?
Barely MPC material, but it works. The read timing also improved from 22
msec to 13.
However, the M: setting for MSCDEX remains a mystery to me. Going
from M:8 to M:20 in EMS memory looks like it slows down the thruput while
using more memory. Maybe that's a reflection of EMS page switching times.
What M: setting do you use? Is it better to use conventional memory or
expanded? Right now, it's a trade off for me between memory and speed
because I can't make that old NEC run any faster.
... Bill Gates: For whom the belle toils! :)

Maybe it needs only verification if the guy is called "Boris +

There are several guys in the group and on other BBSs who either
feel cheated or are even after him.
BTW, have you got a catalog of your goodies, and would you ship
internationally? Since you got indorsed by regular members in
this conference, I'd like to order myself and introduce you to my
PC User's Group.
How much run shipping costs to Japan (most economical package in

Thanks,

> Isn't renting software Illegal? Then again, it's not like you can

Well, actually I have the setup and the software to make an exact sector level
copy of a CD - audio or data. Not that I do that,
since it's illegal.
But one day the hardware will be cheaper.
At the rate the prices have been going over the last two years, you'll
be able to buy a 1st generation recorder for under $2000 in the next year
or so. The same drive you would pay $10K for in 1992
Then again, people who have regular optical drives are able to xcopy many CD
titles to that media and use them. Once the price of
media and hardware vs. the price of CD titles adjusts itself sufficiently,
you'll see a lot of CD piracy.
Some of the more affluent software pirates are doing it now, either with their
own setups, or by looking for businesses who have recorders.
I'm approached about once a month by a group of people who want
me to master and make "one off" dupes of pirate disks for the
people in their group. The money would be great of course, but I'm not
willing to take such a chance.
On that same note, I am aware of at least one quarterly "publication"
that is distributed via "One off" at $150 a pop. Some guy sits at
home, loads his hard drive with the latest commercial software and
runs copies of them with a CD recorder. Word has it he makes
enough cash from one quarter to pay for 10 recorders.
I've seen his product, and had a chance to check out a copy that an
acquaintence of mine bought. He's careful.. His name or
organization doesn't appear once on the disk, nor does the packaging materials
have a return address on it.
Too bad, since I'd like to see him busted.

You mean MicroSoft's MSCDEX, right?
To my knowledge, Adaptec only make ASPI compliant low level drivers
available.
They may distribute MSCDEX with something, but they are paying Microsoft
to do allow that.
If you're looking for a good SCSI-based driver package, check out CorelSCSI
2.0.
It's CUNI_ driver supports just about every SCSI CDROM drive I've thrown
at it. In fact, I was running a Philips recorder, a Toshiba 4101 and
an NEC2x reader on the same SCSI bus using CUNI and CorelCDX. That
single CUNI driver picked up and supported all three drives without my
needing to load separate drivers.
That alone impressed the heck out of me. <g>

speakers, MIDI, and 16-bit digital audio board. The cd-rom drive is supposed
to be Multi-session Photo CD ready. I've got a 486SLC laptop, with no
PCMIA slots, so I'm in need of a combo cd reader and sound board I can plug
into my parallel port. This company is the same one that's marketing the
"Memphis" system, and from the photo, this system looks similar, but without
the removable speakers (these look fixed). Anyone have any experience with
this company or this product? It's listing for $399. Any info will be
appreciated. Thanks.
Mark.

This disc is still available, and the current price is $39.00(US)+
shipping which would be UPS Ground for $16.00 (we have had problems
with UPS and customs in the past. Customs sometime tried to add extra
tarrifs and fees.) or Express Mail for $25.00 (more expensive, but
has a better import system into Canada). Let me if I can do anything

David,
For shipping to australia, it would have to go by Air Mail for $32.00(US)
or Express Mail for $34.00(US). We do not currently have COD's outside
of the US. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Jim,
You might like the FAO and FAO Gold discs from Profit Group. While
a majority of the disc is .GIF images, there are sub-dirs containing
DL, GL, and FLI animations. These discs all contain files.bbs listings
and also have our MegaDoor software for application on a DOOR.SYS or
DORINFO.DEF bbs. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Chris,
I think the main problem may be format and indexing. They have been
able to read CD-Audio data from the disc to the harddrive, but that
shouldn't be that hard. It's all in a raw format with an index in the
beginning to tell it where on the discs a track starts or stops, but
if they are doing a CD-ROM data/CD-Audio sound on a CD-I disc, and then
having a major indexing scheme in order to get a quick response to your
input it may be very difficult to decipher that and get usable data for
those of us with PC's. Also it was just recently that CD-ROM drives were
produced that will read CD-Audio data. Maybe our current drives can't
read CD-I data. I might be wrong, but this could be why we can't read
CD-I data yet.

Just a personal opinion, but I really like the new low profile double

but it's quick, caddieless, and will read CD-Audio in the raw format

I have a CR-563-B, and it was NOT put out by Creative Labs (nor did it
come with my computer.) From what I've read in this echo, Creative Labs
was shipping the OMNI CD with the CR-562, and has somewhat recently
moved up what they're putting in the OMNI CD to a CR-563. When I was
looking for a CD-ROM, I bought the CD-ROM that was shipping in the
Reveal box because I liked the OMNI CD, and they were the same CD,
except that the OMNI was a 562, and the Reveal was a 563 (and costed
$100 less.) My experience was the opposite of what you stated above.

Supported by Creative Labs? I ment the 562 wasn't being supported by
ANYONE. Competitor's product? Creative Labs buys their CDs from
Matsushita/ Panasonic, who makes both the CR-562, and the 563. People
who have been trying to find drivers for their 562s, can't find one, and
try and 563 driver, but the 563 driver doesn't work with the 562, so
somethings got to be different. They're even having problems with the
driver that is shipping with most 563s, which I.D.s the card, and adapts
itself to the model you have.
JP>The ONLY difficulty I've heard about, is missing driver Selling a
>drive without drivers is a fairly strange occurrence, since
>Matsushita supplies 98% of the driver code.
Again, that's because Matsushita makes both the 562, and the 563. The
2% that is not made by them is, it's just that Creative Labs slapped
their name in the code.
JP>Oh, and it can be hard to find the audio connecter cable.
Why? Are companies shipping them without audio cables? If so, they're
probably missing a driver too.

The term "IDE" is most commonly used as a synonym for "ATA", thus the

for an IDE drive, do you think anyone is going to ask whether you want ATA or

Well, if you use a CD-ROM caching system such as PC Speedway or the
SMARTDRV.EXE that came with DOS v6.20, it should help a LOT and make MOST
games almost as fast as if they were being played on a double-speed; for
instance, I played 7th Guest with Smartdrv on a Mitsumi single-speed and it
was almost as fast as my friend's double speed, part of a Creative Labs
upgrade package. Certain games DO require Double-speed, but 7th Guest doesn't
andf hopefully not TOO many of the others do either.

Well, unless the performance of the NEC 3x drives improves drastically,
I'd go for a Chinon 535... They're nearly as fast as, if not faster than (In
some cases) the NEC 3x series, and they're cheaper as well...

Well, one of my friends is stuck in the attic in 7th Guest, where you have
to light up the lights on the building. How might one go about getting around
that? We can't get down to the library, as the door closes behind us.

Two things come to mind, but then I could be wrong:
1) Move speakers away from electromagnetic sources(phone)
2) Bad amplier channel on s.card

increasing better i/o xfers with that older cd, I already added more /Mbuffer

Agree it is awesome. I have only been playing for 2 days now and
the first time I went to Gear World I went exploring and somehow
made it up on top of the elevator, pushed the red button and back
down. Wish I had made a save but did not and now having done all
I can at this level, including picking up the blue page in the
secret room and having worked the simulator can no longer get up
on top of the elevator. Can you give me the sequence that allows
access to the top of the elevator please !!! Got stuck at this
point so finally matched notes in the spaceship and now exploring
the volcanic world. For someone like me who is tone deaf had a
devil of a time and finally resorted to note counting with a very
steady mouse hand.

BL> video gobbles up megabytes, so you find yourself running throung the
BL> 700 or so megabytes available pretty quickly. Myst has a whole lot
BL> of gameplay, because most of the scenes are still. There are
BL> movies though, as I said. The object of the game is to save these
BL> worlds from destruction. Sorry, out of time. Hope it helped.
Cool, I think I'll check it out. I was waiting on Under a Killing
Moon, but Myst sounds like a must-have!

Subj: COMPACT DISC CAPACITY Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Dear All,
OK now I am puzzled. While listening to my new RedHotChiliPeppers CD I got
curious about the capacity of a compact disc..and now Im baffled.
OK if I am coorect, Regular Audio CD's are sampled at 44,100 kHz, 16 bits per
channel. Since they are stereo, you multiply 44,100x16x2 to figure the number
of BITS per second, right? Then, divide by 8 to find BYTES per second. I came
up with 172.3 k/sec. I tested this answer by recording some WAV files in
Windows at44.1kHz, 16 bit, stereo. Then comparing size with length, I s=got
the same answer...172.3 k/sec, give or take a few bytes. OK Blood Sugar Sex
Magik by the XChili Peppers is 73 minutes, 57 seconds long. Which equals 4437
seconds. If you multiply this out, 172.3 k/sec x 4437 seconds, you get
764,495k, or 747 MEG! How can this be?? I thought the capacity of a CD was
around 680 MB?? Am I doing something wrong? Or is the capacity of CD's just
larger than I thought? Please HELP! THis is frustrating me hehehehe.

What quantity are you looking to do? The economics are such that once you go
from doing a small quantity, it makes sense to go to larger quantities just to
get the price breaks and amortize the cost of mastering.

I'll put 640mb of your data on an ISO 9660 standard CD for $49. Advantages
include: - Speed - My 10ms HD is only four times faster than CD. - Cost
- CD costs $49, tape $100, 1.4mb floppy $200. - Security - It can't be
changed. No virus threat. - Convenience - It's like adding another hard drive.
o Make your own shareware disk.
o Organize those huge graphics files.
o Put your BBS on CD instead of buying another hard drive.
o Distribute your data to several sites.
o Back up your entire LAN or BBS.
Send QIC-80 or QIC-40 DC2120 tapes and cashiers check to: Allen Agee, 52 Sleepy

Hey all!
I'm looking for a couple of discs...
1. CD-ROMIX series - these are comics on CD-ROM with voice, sound effects,
etc. SRP is $24
2. Animation Festival - This is supposed to be a nice collection of 3D and 2D
animations from an annual animation festival. I had read an article about a
great animation disc a while back.. I _think_ this is it, I may be wrong. If
you have any more info, or know where I can get this disc, let me know!
Thanks for your help!

Have you heard of "networking"? You need a LAN setup. Check out Novell or

Read: [N/A] Private: No
What road maps are being published on CD now? I need concise coverage
(meaning no streets left out) for the Maryland and maybe Virginia,
Pennsylvania, and Delaware area. Road Map USA and Precision Map look like
they cover too much in not enough detail. I'm doing street diagrams in this
area; Road Map USA, for example, wastes disc space with frills like hotel
information for Disneyland, which I have no conceivable use for.
Format should be AutoCAD compatible, that is .DWG, .DXF, or IGES files. If
not directly compatible, output should be some sort of vector type that can be
processed with either AutoCAD's AutoLISP interpreter or a cheap database
utility.

Packard Bell -- the Rodney Dangerfield of PCs.
Oddly, I got both a tape drive and a CD-ROM in my Legend with no problems. All
expansions worked from smoke test on without a hitch. Only problem I have is
I'm stuck with this bizarre AT desktop cabinet because of the motherboard
outputs; no tower can be found to fit. Oh well, there's always external drive
cabinets if I want to add more drives and cards.
P-Bell doesn't have a tech-support line. What they have is some guy named
Majid who answers the P-Bell Connection number and then refers you to his
brother or cousin's shop downtown. 7-11 cashiers do not get fired. They quit
and then go to work for Packard Bell.

You can bootleg them if you have a big enough tape drive. Access time sucks,
however. Renting shouldn't be illegal. Technically, what you're doing is
passing along ownership serially like you would any other software. Last I
heard that's not a problem for the publisher.
Blockbuster's an interesting outfit. I've been told they're owned by
fundamentalist Christians, sort of like Domino's Pizza, whose owner Tom
Monahan gives 10% of profits to Randall Terry's Operation Rescue.
Every time I ask them where they keep the snuff flicks, they say they don't
carry them. Now I know why... :-)

RM> Can you help me? If you have got to this point, I
RM> have entered the Gear-Age and cannot figure out a

To move the building in the gear age you have to match up the 'thing' under the
middle of the building and then take the elevator to the top. Set the switch
for the middle setting (in the elevator) and jump out before it goes down.
Then you can use the controller on the of the elevator to rotate the building.
This will lead to you getting the codes to open the floor at the beginning to
get to the book to get out.
Hope you got all that and it helps.

Well, for a limited time, we have decided to offer a special version

is identical to our current stock, but lacks only one facet
of the original: It does not contain the "Sick and Twisted" Graphics.
That is the ONLY difference!! This version was originally pressed
for our European markets, but has since been banned there because of
the controversial information it contains!
In addition, if you have purchased either version (Graphics/No Graphics)
of this disc DIRECTLY from The Profit Group, then we are prepared to
offer you a "Preferred Customer" upgrade path on our forth coming
production of Forbidden Subjects. What does this mean? It means that in

Call LazerQuick Images on 1-800-937-9196. They will send you
a 'kit' that spells out just how you go about transferring slides
or negatives onto a CD. They charge 59 cents per image, plus
$10.00 for the disk, plus $6.00 return postage. Each disk holds
100 images; so you pay $75.00 per disk.
If you want to have them develop your film AND transfer it to
disk, they charge $15.40 for 24 exp or $22.50 for 36 exp - plus
disk and post.
All the images dont have to be done at once. You can add to
the disk till its full. However, they charge a extra $4.75 to add
to an existing disk.
They also will 'mix' between slides and negatives on a single
disk, but each time you change you pay $1.50 for set-up. It's
best to have all one type of picture placed on a single disk, but
it's not a requirement.
Nice people to work with -- I have no ax to grind, just happy

JB>me correctly (it's not quoted here) your friend was haveing
JB>great difficulty maintaining his file base. I would say
JB>that classifys as being broke. <grin>
He has no CDROM door - and has just added the areas via RACONFIG (?) and
reads the FILES.BBS directly off the CDROM. He's since figured out how
to put the files.bbs on the hard drive in C:\RA\CDROMLST\FILES.26 etc. I
think I've come up with a way, in WinWord 2.0c to load the files.bbs one
at a time, and reformat the files.bbs to what RA 1.11 expects. Once I
get it down, I'll record it as a Macro, and run it on all
of them.
I used to co-sysop on his BBS, until I decided to start my own. I feel
kind of responsible in that I convinced him to install a CDROM and
TopDrawer. I found a good deal on rebuilt NEC CDR25 portable CDROM
drives with all cables, Trantor T130B 8-bit SCSI controller card,
drivers, docs, and 90-day warranty from a company called ITG Computers
in Rolling Meadows, ILL. They were $95 and look brand new. So I
ordered one for each of us. I then heard all the hype on TopDrawer and
suggested it. For $125 total, he's got a CD online. I just wish the
FILES.BBS worked better with RA 1.11. Else wise, it seems to be a fine
CD. He converted to a pay-bbs when the Boeing Employees Computing
Society dropped their sponsorship. It was my hope that by installing a
CDROM he could attract more subscribers. It seems to be working. :)

You recommended the EZROM120.ZIP EZROM door to me and I found it on the
TopDrawer CD. I took a look at it, and found it interesting, that the
author of EZROM discussed the 2 FILES.BBS formats in the EZROM
documentation. The FILES.BBS on TopDrawer does not conform to either of
the 2 standards the EZROM author discusses in the EZROM documentation.
On a more positive note, I think I've figured out how to fix them by
using WinWord 2.0c. With luck, I might be able to write a Macro to
automate the process.

I hooked my sound card to my stereo for $5. If your stereo has
an auxillary input, all you have to do is run a cable from the
speaker jack on your sound card to the input on your stereo. Then
when you want to hear your computer, just switch your stereo to
auxillary and you're off and running. Other than that, check your
stereo manuals. If you have some electrical knowledge, you can even
rig an input from the turn-table on an older stereo unit for less than
$20.

JA**your info I picked up a copy of MYST at a local Compucentre at
JA**a cost of $79.99 plus PST/GST. Vince Sorrenson also of this net
JA**is a Canadian dealer who I would recommend to anyone but he does
JA**not yet have MYST in stock. Without a doubt MYST is the best
JA**Windows CD-ROM I have seen. It was 2 years in the making and
JA**after a quick look it may take me half a year to finish it.
We have MYST at our regular low price of $72.95 Canadian plus PST
(Ontario Residents Only) and Shipping! What a deal!!

AB**You do have fairly good prices. Perhaps I'm wrong but I think it is STILL
AB**cheaper to order most things from the US, even if it does involve more
AB**messing around.
We've sent you an revised copy of the EC due to some errors in
Microsoft, PSL and EMS pricing. But as far as ordering from the US is
concerned, on the most popular software, i.e. Night Owl, etc., we have
the best pricing anywhere -- even better than the US when you convert
our prices into US$. We have a lot of orders from the US and Europe for
that very reason.
BTW, did you read about our Pre-Orders for Night Owl 12?? Fabulous deal
if you order prior to April 8/94. Check out our ads in this and other

for $10 a disc even though I paid $xx, which is a <g> calculated loss.
After all, its better to break even, and have a delighted customer

Well, I got my Street Atlas USA 2.0 CD yesterday, what a fine
application, you guys were right, very impressive and so easy to use,
the only problem I have is that after running it for a couple hours I
took a look at the CD and found a circular scratch on it, I know my
drive did it because I looked at it before I played it, anyway for all
you guys that own it, could it be that I have a defective disc (too
thick) ? Or is this something that you guys have noticed also? None of
my other discs have scratches on them so this is defenitely abnormal,
I'll try to exchange it, I hate to wait again but....

Dick, thanks for your help. Some people have suggested that what I want
can be done but so far, I haven't found anyone who will do it. When you
have your film put on CD, do you by any chance use a mail order firm to
do it? If you do, I would appreciate knowing its address. And would you
mind my asking how much the procedure costs you for 100 exposures?
Thanks again for your help.
By the way, if you have Internet access, you might be interested in what
I believe is a Kodak Photo-CD newsletter-type info source I heard about
in some other echo. Apparently, you can send e-mail to:
listproc@pixel.kodak.com
with a single line message saying:
SUBSCRIBE PHOTO-CD <first name> <last name>
I just subscribed myself so I don't know quite what it is but you might
find it interesting.

Sigi, There appear to be some bewares about Boris. I have bought CDs
from him multiple times and also from Mike Shannon. I have had very
MINOR problems with both. I WOULD buy from EITHER ONE again. Both
fixed the different problems and there are no hard feelings. Both have
been on the echo a while and do honorable business.

y of the software
drivers for a Sanyo CD-ROM controller and ROM drive. The controller is a
"Sanyo SAT-180A (CDSY)" controller board and the drive a "Sanyo ROM-2500"
internal ROM drive.
"Call Sanyo and ask them for it.", you say. Been there, done that,
didn't get the T-shirt. To date, I've gone through 23 different Sanyo phone
numbers and nearly twice as many people in Sanyo. Of all them, only one has
actually tried to help. Bad Sanyo, No cookie.
So if anyone has the drivers, or knows where I could land them
please drop me a line or three. Thanks!

It IS a good price, but I wanted a disc with GIFs as well as shareware,
I called a local bbs that's runs COC2, it has a good selection, but no GIFs.
For somebody that doesn't want gifs, it's would be well suited for them.

Hey, how was I supposed to know that? YOUR distributor you told me

late last week, and it's not listed. (in case you forgot, it's Bob's
Computer Service). I'll probably carry it when he, or my other
distributors, have it listed, but I haven't sold any yet, so it's not a
high priority (no offense, but I'm mostly selling games and educational
titles). Hey, why don't you send me a copy to listen to! (hint, hint)
But if you want my opinion of it, it'll cost you (hah, hah). Just

Michael,
Our MegaDemo2 disc has benchmark software on it to test the performance
of your CD-ROM drive. The double speed should be default with no

If you happened to have traded the hunters lamp to the old peddler, you
do not have the teapot anymore. And the only way to complete the game is
the short way, by sneaking in using the womans clothes as a disguise. I
traded the hunters lamp and got stuck, so I restarted the game from the
beginning and finished it in one day. You will need to trade the lamp,
but not until after you cast the spell.
I hope this helps...

Hi Bob, The Multimedia Store has an 800 number..800-597-F0T0 and I believe they
do have a catalog. Also nice folks to deal with, owner is Bob Cox and the
fellow I deal with most is Dudley Hayes. Looks like their price are about the

Get nothing less than double. Triple is kind of expensive these days,
considering. Make certain it is multi-session, Kodak PhotoCD compatible (even
if you don't need it, it certainly makes the re-sale value keep from dropping)
and MPC2 specs. (it should say MPC2 performance on it).
Apart from the usual you should be hearing from everyone else here, that's
about all I can think of that you need worry about.

A bit over priced for a "USED" drive don't cha think? Gee how much did
you sell them new for? :-))
Not interested in the 6 disk, but do you have the 18 disk version? If so
whats your price and can you give me some information as to the
specifics? Like from what I understand it is like getting 3 of the 6
disks Pioneers in one. Does it have 3 different heads? If one portion
goes out will the other 2 work? What kind of warrenty is avail?

Assuming you mean you aren't supposed to re-cord the music in any way, your
argument remains rubbish. No one's going to bust you for making a cassette copy
of your own CD to play in the car, and hence, I would argue, it is not illegal
to do so.

The documentation can say what it likes, as has frequently been stated here and
elsewhere: the claims and rules broacast on packaging aren't worth the shrink
wrap that covers them. No one has tested then in court, because they just or
what ever metaphor you want to use. I wouldn't dispute the ownership of
intellectual property, but the other claims often made are crazy (e.g. banning
backups).

That won't get you very far, as the SND files used to be PAKed and are now

Echter IBM OS/2 v2.1 bezit alleen de drivers van Panasonic

Mijn vragen zijn nu:
1) Ondersteunt OS/2 v2.1 toch deze CD-Rom Drive ?
2) Wordt er eventueel een driver bij de CD-Rom Drive
meegeleverd voor OS/2 ?, die verkoper wist dat niet.
Ik heb deze informatie ook al aan IBM voorgelegd, maar ik heb tot op heden nog

Hello All!
I'm playing this nice game for about 2 weeks, and found some
interesting tips.
After turning up star signs on alley I raised ship and found how to
go out of StoneAge Ship with two (red and blue) pages .
I inserted them to red and blue books in library.
Then I opened starship and went to Volcano island with underground
labyrinth and goes outta there with two pages too.
Then I found the way to go to WaterWorld and donno what I must do
there ! I found both pages, but cannot go out to library.
And the same thing with the Tower world with rotating fortress.
Can anybody help me with that ?

I've got 3 of them on-line right now, Daniel. No problems at all with
any of them. What controller card are you attempting to get them to
run with? And have you created a CDROMDRV directory and put the files
that come with the installation disk in there? Also, how about posting
your AUTOEXEC.BAT line and your CONFIG.SYS line so I can see what

Do you use Windows on your computer? The programs mentioned in the rest
of this message all require Windows.
Moon Valley Software has some interesting CD-ROMs called RoMaterial and
RoMaterial Again with sound effects as well as graphics. I've spent a
lot of time playing with icons that have animation. There is sound with
Solitaire, the card game from Windows, but only as the cards are
uncovered in the deck. Not enough sound in that version to play a whole
game by sound.
DT>Also, I belief that you can say record from a tuner, cd

The version of SoundBlaster that comes with a microphone has a Voice
Assist program. Computer can be trained to the user's voice to open
files and move the cursor up and down.
I recorded a few short sound files using the microphone and selected
some sound effects from CD-ROM collections to use with a multimedia
presentation. It works like a slide show with sounds timed to go with
the pictures. It could be made to run sounds without pictures but I
haven't found a way to replace the mouse commands that are used to make
it interactive. There is a demonstration program available on CD-ROM.

Thank you for the kind remarks about my review of your CD-Rom disc, the
HIV/AIDS Resource Guide! I'm especially pleased that you found it fair &
balanced since I strived to be both of these.

In a way you were unlucky... since I'm finishing up my 2nd year of law
school, I couldn't help but notice things that others outside of the
profession would have missed completely! :-)
You're right though. I think there are two broad groups of people who will
use the disc - professionals (health & legal) and individuals who will read
the material from a personal viewpoint. Although there is some overlap,
both groups have different needs in terms of features and organization.

Well, I was thinking specifically of the California rules, although I'm sure
other states are similar.
From the Harvard "Blue Book (15th)."
Supreme Court (Cal): In documents submitted to California state courts,
cite to Cal., Cal. 2d, or Cal. 3d if therein, to P. or P.2d if therein, AND
to Cal. Rptr. if therein. In all other documents, cite only to P. or P.2d,
if therein; otherwise, cite to one of the other reporters listed below...
and from the Practioner's Notes (Parallel Citations for State Court Cases):
In a document to be submitted from a state court case, all ciations to cases
decided by the courts of that state (not of other states) should include a
citation to the official state reporter, if available, in addition to a
regional reporter... [In] addition, documents submitted to California and
New York state courts may require a further parallel citation to a third
reporter for case decided by the courts of those states.
-=-
As you can see from this, not having the additional cites could be a real
problem in that I've might have to look up the same cases elsewhere to find
them! I don't know what the situation is with West, but that's unfortunate
if you would be unable to use them. I would think they would _want_ their
cites out there as much as possible.
>Now--- I would like to challenge everyone else who has published a CD
>to send theirs in for a very through exam........... <G>
Thanks for the plug! Hopefully others will take a chance and send in their
discs. I appreciate that you were willing to do at such an early stage in
the series (even before you on of my reviews!).
BTW - I'll be offering it from FREQ as a seperate archive in mid May (after
my finals). I need some time to decide how to handle that.

Jerry, I generally mail everything priority mail in a bubble pack
envelope, thus the $3.00 charge. The CD by itself in the jewel box
weighs 3 1/2 ounces and would cost $0.98 to mail 1st class. You're not
suggesting that I should just slap a label on the jewel box and drop
it in the mail, are you? I have a small CD-size box I can mail the
Gutenberg CD in instead. With the CD and packing material, the box
weighs 7 1/2 ounces. The US Postal service charges $1.33 to deliver
it 3rd class or $1.90 1st class. I would recommend 1st class, but
it's up to you. If you are still interested, mail a check for $12

CN>Anybody has any experience with Precission Mapping CD? I saw it at the
CN>local store, looks like Street Atlas USA with additional features like
CN>being able to make your own notes on the maps themselves, the price is
CN>lower comes in a DOS version only.
I've tried both programs. If you're running Windows, go for Street
Atlas USA. The graphics and level of detail on Street Atlas USA are
*significantly* better, in my opinion, than on the Precision Mapping
disc. Here are a few other comments that may help you decide between
the two products.
Maps created by Precision Mapping take a significantly longer time to
load and draw on screen than Street Atlas USA. On my 486DX/33 system
with a SONY single speed CDROM, a map of Seattle, Washington took 57
seconds in Precision Mapping to load and draw but took Street
Atlas USA only 10 seconds. A map of Austin, Texas took Precision
Mapping 51 seconds to load and draw, the same map took Street Atlas
USA 11 seconds. The Street Atlas USA maps not only displayed faster,
they contained more geographic features, color, and other descriptive
information than the Precision Mapping maps did.
In Precision Mapping bodies of water don't show up until you're zoomed
in pretty close, and even then they're frequently not filled in, just
the shoreline is indicated. This makes cross-country exploring less
than satisfying, since many major features aren't displayed at larger
map scales. For example, I selected Willsboro, a small town in
Northern New York on Lake Champlain. The shorelines of Willsboro Bay,
a large bay several miles long, and Lake Champlain are both indicated
when the map scale is 4,000 feet, but neither area is filled in and
neither the lake nor the bay are labelled. Pressing the "Zoom Out"
button zooms out a level, to a scale of one mile, and all shorelines
disappear, leaving no indication that there is a large lake or bay
anywhere in the area. A map program that "hides" a lake that is 10 to
12 miles across when the map scale is only one mile is less than
useful.
Many geographic features are difficult or impossible to locate in
Precision Mapping. If you are planning a trip to climb Mt. Rainier
outside of Seattle, you won't find Mt. Rainier in the Precision
Mapping data base. You also won't find two of the towns you might
want to use as way stations before or after your climb, Longmire and
Ashford. If you want to hike the Grand Canyon, you won't be able to
locate it in the Precision Mapping data base either, nor will you find
Grand Canyon or North Rim, Arizona, two spots you might want to visit
on your trip. (Longmire and Ashford, Washington, Grand Canyon and
North Rim, Arizona, Mt. Rainier and the Grand Canyon are all on the
maps generated by Street Atlas USA.)
Precision Mapping claims it has "Full CAD Features." In reality,
annotation features of this program are primitive, and include only
line and shape drawings and text. There is no ability to add dotted
or dashed lines, map symbols, fill patterns, or cartographic objects,
nor can you highlight routes or portions of a map. If you need
extensive annotation capabilities, take a look at MapExpert from
Delorme Mapping. It uses the same database as Street Atlas USA and
includes an extensive library of cartographic symbols and excellent
drawing and notation capabilities.
Hope this helps.

The drive is the same as the Intersect series, and a TurboCD has 64kbits of
RAM, a TurboDuo 128kbits. Agreed, not the best solution for PC usage, but
if CD+G is the only interest, it seems to be the only game in town. The
CD-ROM upgrade card you are talking about doesn't improve the speed of the
drive, but it DOES have a larger RAM buffer. I still have version 2.0, I
didn't see a 3.0 game that was worth the $99 for the upgrade...

DM> Charlie, I'm in Australia, Whats the story with shipping etc to here.
I haven't done any international shipping as yet, but would be
happy to do so. Shipping insured to Australia would be:
Surface- 2lbs= $6.90(US); 4lbs=$11.20(US)
Air- 1lbs= $19.75(US); 4lbs=$33.75(US)
This does not include insurance or the International Money Order
fee of $3.00 (up to a $700.00 limit per MO). Insurance max to
Australia is $500.00
Insurance fees: $50.00 insurance=$1.60(US)
$100.00 insurance=$2.40(US)
DM> And are the above C.D's Cheaper in bulk,
DM> Say for 3-5, 6-10 disks, And even more :)
Sure, the price would drop at least $1.00 per disc in quantities
of 10+ of the SAME disc. I could drop the price around $.75
cents each for 5-10 of the SAME disc, too.
For example, we could ship (via surface mail) 23 discs at $20.00
each (selling price used for example). This would include all
shipping, insurance and the money order fee. The total would be
just under $485.00. Air shipping and the same scenario would
yield a total of $503.00 +or- a dollar.
DM> Thanks Mate, Ill wait for your reply before I send
Well, let me know what you would like to order. I would be more
than happy to sell to my friends down under. :)

JD| I am trying to enter the world of CD-ROM, but would like to do so as

JD| Single-Spin CD-ROM for only $100.
I wouldn't suggest a single spin drive for anybody who wants to use any of
the newer CD-ROM games. To my knowledge, games like Return to Zork,
Critical Path, Myst etc. (any with motion video) won't work well with the
single spins. I saw that ad myself but disregarded it. I recently bought
a full upgrade kit from the CompUSA store in Austin, TX. It had the Pro
Audio Spectrum Sound Card, a Double Spin tray loading CD-ROM drive, a set
of Labtec speakers, a microphone, and 15 CD-ROM titles. The titles
included Return to Zork, Critical Path, Iron Helix, Compton's Encyclopedia
and some others. All this for $450. I thought it was a great deal.
Installation was a snap and they even included a step by step video. Hope
this all helps.

Hello From the Philippines Boon,
I've tried this method using the SoundBlaster Multimedia Upgrade Kit,
(Both w/ Caddy or Caddyless drives), even IDE CDROM's have ID's located on the
rear of the drive (next to the IDE or SCSI connector) that can be changed via
jumpers. No 2 drives must have the same ID.
As for software; here's my setup.
CONFIG.SYS
Device=sbcd.sys /d:mscd001 /d:mscd002 /p:220
AUTOEXEC.BAT
MSCDEX.EXE /d:mscd001 /d:mscd002 /m:15
Mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /d:mscd002 /m:15
Oh... BTW, don't forget to put "LASTDRIVE=Z" in Config.sys
Hope this helps,
Dave

SR -> Dear Don,
SR -> Thank you for your help!!! I needed it!
You're welcome.
SR -> I also can't seem to solve the puzzle in the toy room, which involves SR
-> the puzzle of the mansion
The picture puzzle is a bit tricky, and also very difficult to explain.
To solve the puzzle, if it were perfect, would be a mathematic solution of
plus and minus on different rows of blocks in order to manipulate the picture
into proportion. This however, does not work, as there is a trick to the
puzzle. The blocks will change accordingly, but there is one block that does
not flip like the rest. This block moves according to the game and is probably
always a corner block to maximize the trick. Pay close attention to the blocks
when they flip, and look for the one that is the trick block. Pay particular
attention to the picture pieces. One block has a different order of pictures.
That is the trick block. Once you have it, complete the picture using that
block as a corner starting point and manipulate them in rows. Complete the
first row either diagonal or vertical. Once that row is in place, the others
will go very easily into position, but do not move any blocks on the first set
row with the problem block in place, otherwise you will undo the work you did
to get the row in position.
SR -> in the next room the building blocks which SR are supposed to spell SR ->
something. Can you help!
The blocks should read as follows GET
BOY
TAD in that order.
You'll have to fiddle around with it, but the hardest thing is to figure out
which words to use. Those blocks could spell many meaningful things in the
game. Besides, that is the second time the name Tad was used but was not
really emphasized. Remember when the boy entered the Kitchen window, and the
other kids outside were cat-calling him? Tad is a fraidy cat!
SR -> Thank You!!!!!
Always willing to lend a hand. I hope it helps you out.
Let me know how you do with the Microscope!

Thanks for your input, David. Personally, I like using the PCBoard
style DIR file lists. They have all the good info such as name, size,
date & description, and they work fine in my CD-Rom door in both BBS use
and local mode. I have grown very fond of EZ-Rom/SF-Rom. Thanks again.

Yes. Available under a variety of brand names: Creative Omni CD, Reveal
double speed drive, LaserMate. Check that the model number is CR-562-B or
CR-563-B, that it includes a driver for SB Pro, and that it includes a
data cable. You will probably have to pay extra for an audio cable. Do
so, even if the box says one is included--99% chance that it's the wrong
audio cable.
I can say from experience that the LaserMate works well from the SB Pro,
the driver works, the install program has a SB install option, and the
package even included an interface board (which I used with my old single
speed drive that I was replacing).
Total was $180 at Egghead.

It doesn't matter whether I agree or not. There have been at least two
comments like this now and that is enough for me to withdraw it from sale. As
I have not actually received the pack yet I can't reply with any authority. We
have numerous orders for this and I am in the process of contacting everyone to
let them know what is going on. They are destined for the bin I'm afraid.
BTW, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying Midi Music Shop. Based on your comments
I've decided to make it a stocked item.
Regards,
Steve

t an easy feat) to try
your test. First I searched by zip code, just so I could get my
bearings (you'll see in a second why). Then I searched by street name,
generally you can get more than one hit on a street...depending on how
much of the name is provided. I took the first one on the list for
each street. This program has the option to "mark" streets, which will
put a little identifier on the map so you know the street name (not all
are identified at this magnification). So as I found the street I
marked it.
Since you were looking for a specific address on Clopper Road (actually
SR 117) I had to hit it in a couple of places because the house numbers
don't show up until you mark a spot on the road...
After a couple of tries (about 15 minutes total time) I had a printout
that showed me the locations...not too far apart, by my estimation
about a mile and a half apart. If you're interested I could send you
the prinout via snail mail.
Disclaimer: I have no professional/personal ties with Delorme Mapping,
makers of Street Atlas USA, V2.0, I'm just a satisifed user putting in

Subj: TERRY BLOUNT ... A *GOOD* DEALER! Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Several months ago I ordered an 8-pack CDROM drive setup from Terry Blount.
This took a l-o-n-g time to arrive, thanks to Australia Post sending my AIRMAIL
bank draft by SURFACE MAIL.
When it finally arrived one of the drives didn't work. I crashmailed Terry,
and said he'd send me a replacement.
That was a couple of months ago. It arrived today, and guess what ... although
it was *clearly* marked AIRMAIL and had the correct postage, it came by SURFACE
MAIL! (It's almost unbelievable that the same two guys could be ripped off by
the Post Office in the same transaction, but that's exactly what happened.)
The bottom line is ... I can thoroughly recommend Terry Blount as an honest and
upright mail-order dealer!
Remember the name .... T-E-R-R-Y B-L-O-U-N-T

Sounds to me like memory conflict. Try excluding the area used by most video
cards from your qemm or emm386 command line. To do this add the the following
to the line... X=C000-C7FF this will omit the use of these areas in dos.
In your Windows system.ini file you should have the following line in the 386
enhanced sectio. If not put it somewhere (doesn't mater excactly where)
EMMExclude=A000-C7FF. Think that will fix you up. Good luck.

No, you got it at the best price I've seen so far. I also bought it

The reason people are upset is because they paid anywhere from $50.00 and

Brett, if you want to keep the cost down, I think the Mitsumi 2x spin is
being advertised by someone on this echo for $169 or $179. It's not too
bad. I have one in my machine and and it's fast enough for me. I've played
Mad Dog McCree on it and Rebel Assault and didn't notice any jerky video
or anything like that. A local bus video, eh? I hope your not doing what

Matt,
If you can afford 20MB of ram, you could likely afford to consult directly with
Mr Gates. The problem seems related to memory management, and therefore the
syntax of your config.sys file is suspect, but the fix is difficult to diagnose
without even knowing what DOS version you use. Possibly, you might try the
latest version of QEMM as a substitute for HIMEM.SYS, because QEMM will auto
configure (maybe). Try the NOEMS switch following the EMM386.EXE file. Windows
will emulate the needed EMS, unless you are trying to run a DOS based program
in Windows....in which case get out of Windows!I haOh Oh! I have only 5 minutes

NEC's ads with the girl saying "Don't lie to me." and the guy saying
"Please be honest." are getting old. The ad goes on to say, "You want
the truth? Here is is. NEC's new MultiSpin 3X CD-ROM readers are the
best performing readers on the market."
The real truth is that NEC's own CDR900 performs better! It probably is
the best, but it's a 4X 180ms drive, not a 3X. But if you're going to
pay close to $1000 US for a dirve, you might as well get a Pioneer 604X
for just a little more. It's also quad speed, but hold 6-CD's. Slower
access times though.
The best buy for the money seems to be the Generic Companies selling 2X
drives, that are often made by major comapies. For Exmaple I got a
Laser Mate 2X CD-ROM that is actually the same as the Panasonic with a
controller for $169. I saw some 2X CD-ROM's at CompUSA today for $149,
but I couldn't tell who made them.

Ok this is the very CD ROM drive I own. First off, it sounds like your
terminating resistors or SCSI ID number are not selected right. Make
sure your SCSI ID number for the CD ROM drive is set as 2,3,4,5, or 6.
0,1, and 7 are reserved. The factory default is 2 for the Sony drive.
Also, make sure it has the terminating resistors plugged in correctly,
especially if you have more than one SCSI device.
Also, make sure you include the LASTDRIVE= command in your config.sys,
or the computer won't set aside a drive letter for it.
If you need anymore help, just let me know. Later!

Hi All!
A Look at DR. COMMUNICATION CD Disk.
General :-
I found the front end to this CD Disk to be a bit weak.
All it did was bring up the FILES.BBS files of the various
areas. You could then unzip a file and view it. There is no
search keys or any fancy utilities on this disk. This disk
is made up of 3623 files taking up 329 megs at a price of
around R110. A full file list of this Disk can be requested
from 5:7104/9. by the name of DRCOMM.ZIP 103702 Bytes. I do
however think that any one running or thinking about
starting a BBS would find this disk to be of great use to
them. It has plenty of BBS utilities and tools that can
allow you to do most anything on your BBS.
A Few Of The areas :-
BBS_DOOR 22Meg 224 Files
You will find a lot of general BBS Doors like Virus scanners,
Callback Doors, Doorways, Mail Doors and general utilities.
BBS_FILES 7.88Meg 127 Files
Here we will find most of the utils for BBS like PCBOARD, MAXIMUS,
OPUS, TRIBBS, RBBS and many others. These are the general types of
utilities things like file list processors, Stats generators,
User lists, Remove BBS Adds ect.
BBS_GAMES 24.8Meg 224 Files
All the Door games you will ever need to run a BBS that has all the
Doors. Doors Games from Cards, Maze, Adventure, Dice, Word Games,
Chess, Battleships, Adventures, Bowling and much more.
BBS_MISC 21.3Meg 382 Files
All sorts of utils such as Ansi Screens, Bat Files, Legal Guides,
Chat Screens, Quotes, Timebanks, Download Counters, More Stats,
BBS Fax, Nodelist Compiles ect.
BBS_MSGS 16.3Meg 177 Files
These are more your Fidonet files and Offline Reader, QWK Packers,
Script Files for doing mail, and other mail utilities.
BBS_OTHR 43.4Meg 167 Files
Here you find your BBS System files like Darkstar, Maximus, GT Power,
Gap, Powerboard, QuickBBS, Spitfire just to name a few.
BBS_RA2X 21Meg 274 Files
All sorts of Remote Access files and utilities.
PCBOARD 12Meg 252 Files
All sorts of PCBoard files and utilities.
SPITFIRE 7,1Meg 189 Files
All sorts of Spitfire files and utilities.
WILDCAT 6,3Meg 156 Files
All sorts of Wildcat files and utilities.
Other File Areas Are :-
COMPUSER, FRONTEND, HAMRADIO, INTERNET, MISC_COM, OS2_COMM,
PC_LANS, PROTOCOL, REMOTEIP, TERMINAL, UTIL, WIN_COMM
You will find a lot of handy programs and utilities in these
areas. All sorts of Script Files, Backround File Trxsfer,
Paging Programs, Modem doctors, Network Management programs,
Windows Fax utilities, All sorts of Protocols. There are also
a number of Comunication programs like Telix, Telemate, GT-Power
Turbomodem and many others great little Hosts and Utilities.
If you are into your comunications I think that this is not a
bad buy at the price. I must say I had great fun looking and
trying out various programs on this disk.
Cheers,
Dave

There was no "Disney" deal that I am aware of. Apparently some of the
earlier CD's had a Warner character on them, that was subsequently
removed. I don't think it's anything sysops need to worry about.

Yes, the game is out there. I saw it at a computer show, I think.
Anyway, I just saw the box, not the program. Yes, it is based on the movie.

I have two Mitsumi's running under DV 2.42 and QEMM 6.02. All drivers
load into high memory.

I am also using Stealth with QEMM, if that makes a difference.
Sometimes I've found that even though Optimize puts the loadhi line
to load programs in high memory, they don't always load there. I've
had to manually change /R:1 to /R:2. Use Loadhi to see which region
has memory available and make adjustments if necessary.

Raceway CD (800-240-0055) list one called Aircraft

located in Sterling Hts. MI. This was in their ad in Windows
Magazine - April 94 on page 371. I called for their catalog
but have not yet received it and that's about three weeks
ago. Hopefuly their product service is better.
I believe there is a CD available from The National Air and
Space Museum (NASM) which shows the photos they have
available. (There may be more than one. This is information
which is a little old, but I know they had at least one some
time ago, I believe you could contact them through the
Smithsonian in DC. or Through the Garber Facility at
Suitland, MD.
Hope this helps.

I'd have to say the game is pretty much the same, except for the
opening has more to it than the floppy version.. And the missions
(that I probably never saw on floppy) are different, but they may
have been on the floppy (Mission disks??).. Does that make any sense?!

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Is the SCSI-2 connection the same as the SCSI-1? Internlly a 50 pin
ribbon cable with the female IDC socket connectors and for the external
the 50 pin centronics male connectors at both ends of the cable that
goes b/w SCSI-1 devices. As far as I know these work for SCSI-1 is it
the same for SCSI-2? I think the NEC 3x external CD-ROM uses a
different connector and I was wondering if that was considered the
standard for SCSI-2. It was a very unusual port (for me anyway) much
smaller than a 50 pin centronics. I don't remember much else.

Does anyone know where I can get a cable to connect my Toshiba 3101bme
to my audio card? I can't find the connector that fits into the jack on
the back of the Toshiba anywhere (it's the same as the one on a 3201b
I've seen. I think these two drives may have been pulled from external
cases so the connector may be different from a 3101 or 3201 that was
sold as an internal drive originally, but I'm not sure as I havn't seen
any other Toshiba CD-ROM drives). If I could just get that connector I
could easily make the rest of it. The 3 pin connector is shaped
something like this:
; _________________
; _| |_
; | O O O |
; |_________ _________|
; /___\
Where the "O" s are the pins.
It's small compared to a typical header receptical that would have 3
pins. The actual with of that connector above is only about 8 or
9mm. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert.See@toltbbs.com
PS If anyone here is selling the cable for this let me know the price +
shipping, the length of the cable, and where to send the check. (and
it's shielded right?)

I have a NEC 3XE and my manual explains the errors as shown below:
E0 or E1 - No disc cartridge or empty disc cartrdige in drive.
E2, E3, or E4 - The reader is unable to read the disc.
E5, E6, or E7 - Possible Hardware Failure.
And the solutions for the problems are as follows:
E0 or E1 - * Make sure there is a disc in the cartridge or cartridge wih
a disc in the reader.
E2, E3, or E4 - * Put the disc in the cartridge with the label facing
upwards.
* Make sure the disc is a data disc, not a music disc.
* Try a different disc to see if the problem is limited
to a certain disc.
E5, E6, or E7 - * Call Technical Support
I am certain these won't help much so I will give you the Tech line number.
The Technical Support line is 1-800-388-8888 for U.S. or Canada residents. It
is open Monday through Friday 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM. Since it's toll free I am
sure you are glad to hear that. Well, I hope you get your problem solved and
start to enjoy your CDROM.

I finally figured out what the problem with the drive was. They had given me
an install disk with the drivers for the 31A CDROM and it put DEVCICE=SLCD.SYS
into my config.sys file. It turns out that this drive/controller needed a
driver called FDCD.SYS. Once I found the correct driver then everything
started working the way it was supposed to. :-)

Hi Daniel,
That is the Same CD ROM that I Have. I found the instructions do not do you
much good.
As far as jumper settings and stuff, I can't give you any advice but here is
the comands I use:
IN your Autoexec.bat file (top)

Allot of that mess is from Dos 6 MEMMAKER and your Directories may not be the
same, but I hope this helps

Right now the biggest problem is getting a driver designed for the 3xi.
Before you go out and buy an interface card call the manufacturer and see
if they have a new driver made for the card and the 3xi. Also I have found
that most of those testing problems don't produce reliable results.
7th Guest told me my 3xi was only doing 90kb/sec. I doubt the animation
would be as smooth as it was at 90kb/sec. Also I have tried 3 different
2x drives with MS Bookshel and none of them passed the test. Later.

Hello David!

What I'll do is quote part of the ad that we are currently running
in the Commercial For Sale echo....:
Here is a sampling of just some of the Forbidden Subjects contained:
The most bizarre and intriguing information out on CDROM to date!
Hacking and Phreaking files with tutorials and Tone Box information,
Secret CIA, FBI and Law Enforcement files, Bomb Plans and "How to"
Crime files, along with BrainWashing, Computer Virus Code and Security
Secrets, Occult and Magic rituals, Forbidden Ceremonies as well as
much much more that others have tried to hide from the public information
channels for so long. Includes MegaSearch for those Facinating late night
text searches (Both Windows and DOS versions included).
Notice that the ONLY difference is that the "Sick and Twisted"
graphics are not included in this CDROM's description.
In addition, if you purchase this version (No Sick/Twisted Graphics)
of this disc DIRECTLY from The Profit Group, then we are prepared to
offer you a "Preferred Customer" upgrade path on our forth coming
production of Forbidden Subjects. What does this mean? It means that in
September when our new rendition of this disc is released, you're going
to be able to purchase it for 40% less than someone who has purchased
it from another source!
Hope this helps, if you have any further questions please don't hesitate
to ask.
Take care and hope to hear from you soon.

How can I daisy-chain SONY CDU535i and CDU33A? Because I see that the
CDU535i uses 40pin cable and CDU33A uses 34pin cable, is this
daisy-chain possible? If not does anyone has a SONY controller card for
CDU33A to sell? Thanks.

Subj: Mitsumi CD-ROM drive Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi All!
I've got my Mitsumi CD-ROM driver running for about six months on my bulletin
board system. I am sure it was working fine when I installed it at first. I
haven't been looking to I for quite a while, but my users downloaded many files
from it. Some days ago I needed a file from my CD-ROM and I noticed it was not
working fine anymore. It is really slow: it seems copying some sectors, then
the light turns off and OS/2 locks for 5-8 seconds, then the light goes back on
for some more sectors.
I think that the reason OS/2 locks some seconds is because the CD-ROM device
driver has taken the control at ring 0 and is waiting for the driver to
recalibrate, or so.
Now, in these conditions the CD-ROM drive is totally unusable, expecially on a
8-lines BBS! I tried washing the disk, cleaning the laser head, checking the
power supply voltage and so on, but the problem is still here.
Anyone can help me? Thanks...
Ciao, Davide

As a matter of fact, it was really possible to win the 9th race: the problem
was "Terminal City", playing the hard difficulty level!
JP> Really? Maybe it's just because of digitized sound.
JP> Otherwise, these guys should have checked twice.
I agree with that: I think that Cryo had some problem with "The Software
Toolworks". Maybe they were obliged to complete the game in March and had no
time for an accurate beta-testing...
SS>> Did you expect realism when playing "Out Run"?
JP> But that was a 1985 game!
What does it mean?
"Out Run" didn't lack reality only beacuse it's an old game: even nowadays
there are videogames using the same game-concept...

I don't think there are great differences with the fd version I almost finished

Well, i think you can find it somewhere at a reasonabily low price, and that
would be a good reason.
The visual impact is nothing short than great, but the game itself isn't very
enjoyable to play.
I mean, i'm happy i bought it, so that i could have a look at all the animated
sequences, the weird tracks, and so on, but i'll probably never play it again.
Apart from this, we're talking of a milestone in CdRom Games, that's all.
It's your choice.

You saw right about the graphics, but speaking of the gameplay: it's poor.
I played the game and had a friend of mine finish it for me, so that i could
see all of the animations and tracks.
Actually, he enjoyed playing it over and over again, but i got stressed after
just a few days. Simply put, i had enough of it.
Anyway, my suggestion is you should buy it.

Jeff,
What software are you using for your disk cacheing? I thought I read
that the number of cache hits you get going up from 2MB cache to 3MB
doesn't really increase much and that going up rom there you get even
fewer. And what mode were you running your graphics card in for this
game. I hated having to switch to 640x480x8bit for Sierra's Kings Quest
5 (was it? The CD-rom version) It would not play when in 1024x768x8bit
and thus did not get played for long or often. As a matter of fact it
wouldn't play in 640x480x16bit mode either which I thought was really
strange. Is this sort of thing common with windows games? Thanks.

How important is it to connect up the CD-ROM audio to your sound card?
I've been having trouble finding the right connector for my drive. Are
there CD-ROM titles that use the CD-Audio if so which ones? It seems
like most of the audio on the CD-ROM disks is in something similar to
.wav and is read off the drive via SCSI or whatever and played by the
sound card. Of course that's not true of listening to audio CDs on it,
but I'm not too interested in doing that. Or at least I can live w/o it.

CS>Are there any AVIATION related CD's on the market out there ?. If

I have only tried 2 titles: "Jets and Props" and "The Aircraft
Encyclopedia". J & A is just a collection of pictures, it comes in a 2
CD set but has no technical information just nice pictures and some
video clips, Aircraft Encyclopedia has plenty of technical data, 3
view drawings and pictures but I thought it was very hard to navigate
around it, it came with no instructions and some of the pictures and
diagrams left a lot to be desired, it comes in a DOS version only,
WINDOWS would be nice. Hope this helps.

AD>I've tried both programs. If you're running Windows, go for Street
AD>Atlas USA. The graphics and level of detail on Street Atlas USA
AD>are *significantly* better, in my opinion, than on the Precision
AD>Mapping disc. Here are a few other comments that may help you
AD>decide between the two products.
Actually I already own Street Atlas USA 2.0 and I think is an
excellent application,
AD>Maps created by Precision Mapping take a significantly longer time
AD>to load and draw on screen than Street Atlas USA. On my 486DX/33
AD>system with a SONY single speed CDROM, a map of Seattle,
AD>Washington took 57 seconds in Precision Mapping to load and draw
AD>but took Street Atlas USA only 10 seconds.
Hmmm, that is weird you would think a DOS application would run faster
than WINDOWS given the same amount of memory to work with, it runs
fairly quickly on my 486SX/33 with 8 Mb RAM and single speed CDROM
AD>Many geographic features are difficult or impossible to locate in
AD>Precision Mapping.
I noticed on S.A. USA sometimes a name of a street won't be displayed
until you point and click the right mouse button , not a big deal
though,
AD>Precision Mapping claims it has "Full CAD Features." In reality,
AD>annotation features of this program are primitive, and include only
AD>line and shape drawings and text. There is no ability to add
AD>dotted or dashed lines, map symbols, fill patterns, or
AD>cartographic objects, nor can you highlight routes or portions of
AD>a map.
Too bad, this was precisely the feature I got interested in...
AD>If you need extensive annotation capabilities, take a look
AD>at MapExpert from Delorme Mapping. It uses the same database as
AD>Street Atlas USA and includes an extensive library of cartographic
AD>symbols and excellent drawing and notation capabilities.
At $295 list price, it doesn't beat my $0.50 pencil to draw or write
on my S.A. USA printouts :)
Thank you very much for your comments, I didn't know anything about
Precission Mapping until now, I guess I should wait for something
better/cheaper to come out...

There isn't much difference in playing real motion videos and other multimedia
applications, but it's MUCH faster looking through encyclopedias and such
things..
And yes, it's connected to a SB16 with ASP..
No problems so far, except after completing The 7th Guest when I tried the
"open house" savegame, which allows you to go through the whole house, and
solve puzzles as you wish, it suddenly didn't work. It was whacky and chopped
until it finally stopped completely, and ALT-CTRL-DEL didn't work, only the
reset button....:(

Don't speak to the Pawn shopper. The liberarian is the guy to talk to. He tells
you about the ferry-man..
Then go talk to the ferry-man and you'll say that the liberarian sent you..

Does anyone have problems with this game?
After talking to the ferry-man I return to the liberarian just as I did in the
disk-version. But as soon as I enter the liberary (or book-shop, whatever) the
game hangs. There is a man standing there and some funny music is streaming
through my speakers. But the only thing I can do is activate the "control
panel" or should I wait? I waited over 5 minutes last time, and the music just
started over and over and over...what to do?

Thanks for the help. First I want to know about the spaceship and
how to use it. I have the required 59 volts and can get the door open
but after that I'm lost. What does the Keyboard do? Does it have
anyhting to do with the drawing in one of the books?
Also in the gear place how do you move thee island? I know about
the hologram island simulator and the room behind the throne and the
stairs and the elevator. But can't piece it all together. And what
about the combination when you first get there with all the shapes?
Thanks for your time and I apreciate any help you can give me.

My system is a 486 DLC/40 with 8 meg and a double spin. I think it will run
fine...According to the readme file, the number one performace issue lies in

>SF Boris, go get em! That's the way, I like it..uh-hu.uh-hu.:)
"GO GET EM!, he doesn't know how.......For example, how does Boris
account for all the complaints against him from Japan, Canada,
Alaska, Holland, and all those others. It seems pretty far fetched
that all those people are wrong and Boris is right.
As far as him "Taking his gloves off", I did not see him actually reply
directly to and address ONE COMPLAINT out of all those mentioned from all
over the world. Now, after everybody's done posting, he comes in and speaks
generally, but he wouldn't answer one specific complaint!!
The word is still out, Beware and Caveat Emptor!
Boris, if you're reading this, everybody's tired of hearing about you here. I
posted that I was through talking about you here, THEN and ONLY THEN, did you
start to respond, when you thought nobody would answer or challenge you. You
have my phone number, why don't you call me and we'll see if you and I can
resolve the problem you created.
I'm tired of calling you, and I'm as tired of talking about your bad
policies here as everybody else is hearing them.

What kind of controller are you using...8 bit or 16 bit ?? Also, who's
the manufacture of the above controller.
Are you running under DOS or what ?? Are you running a cache ??
Let me know and maybe we can help you out !!

Hi Tony.
The generator.
Each of the buttons generate a certain amount of current. The idea is to
generate 59 volts, any more than that will turn the rocket side off.
Press each of the buttons in turn and record the amount of volts for each
button (you will need to watch the left dial when the right stops).
From you list press the combination of buttons that will add to 59 volts. It
does not matter which orde .
From there you can enter the rocket.
Have fun! ;-)

Here's part of the cheat file for T7G:
Spiders on the Star:
OBJECTIVE: Cover all the purple circles around the edge of the star
with spiders. NOTE: The puzzle is won when all but one
circles have been covered with a spider. The spiders
will move alone one of the lines from the starting
circle to the ending circle.
SOLUTION:
P1
P6 P4
P3 P7
P8 P2
P5
Click on then Click to move to
-------- ---------------------
P1 P8
P2 P1
P3 P2
P4 P3
P5 P4
P6 P5
P7 P6
OR
1.) Click any purple circle to start.
2.) Click on either purple circle connected via the lines to the
one from step 1 to have the spider move to there.
3.) Pick a purple circle so that after the spider moves he will
be on the circle from step #1 above.
4.) Click on the circle from step #1 above to have the spider move
to it.
5.) Pick a purple circle so that after the spider moves he will
be on the circle from step #3 above.
4.) Click on the circle from step #3 above to have the spider move
to it.
Continue this way around the star, picking a spot so that the spider
can move to the place you CREATED the last spider on.

I'm currently running Cream of the Crop II, and plan to pick up CoC3 when Terry
releases it. I think at that time I'll take CoC2 off line and I'd like to
replace it with a CD that's mostly Windows software, Games, end user oriented
stuff (little or no BBS software, or Fido stuff). A good selection (25% or so)
of .WAVs, .BMPs, fonts, etc., are OK if no copyright problems, and if G-rated
(family BBS :). Also, I'm running Max in the manual date mode, so the filedate,
and filesize are in the files.bbs. Manual setup is OK if I don't have to punch
in file date/size info, and there aren't more than 30 directories or so. Too
much to ask or is there such a CD? :) Thanks.
TTFN, Jack

Dear Mr. Brice Flecktein,
WRT my previous MESSAGES sent via internet, NETMAIL and even newsgrp,
did you receive them?
I am VERY disappointed, as my $130 check was cashed by YOU more than a
month ago, and not even a single bit of response has heard from you, not
mentioning the shipment of the CD ROM.
PLEASE do your very best to return a message to me. Pls try both
NETMAIL and internet (franky.wong@Hafa.Guam.Net). In your message, I
expect you to confirm the date of shipment and shipment address.
I am not in a habit to bad-mouth anyone. But I WILL do so if I HAVE TO.
Please do not hesitate to drop me a message if you think I might have
misunderstood the situation.
√ I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

It'll make all of the current CD-ROM players obsolete, once pricing gets

I need help on installing a Toshiba Cd-Rom. Originally, it

I'm using the driver that came with the PAS-16, but I don't think the
driver is right, or the jumpers on the drive are right. I have a
jumper across the Term pins, and across the Id1 pins. The drive works
OK until I go into Windows to install Iron Helix. Then it slows to a
crawl, and has failures. It also loses track of what files are on the
CD in the drive. What do I need to do? What are the correct settings
for the jumpers on my Toshiba? ... PAS-16? ... How about my Cd-Rom
drivers? Also, does someone have the number for Toshiba tech support?
I bought the drive used, but I know it still works.

I've been planning on purchasing a CD-Rom drive for some time now.
Seeing as how I only plan on playing games and possibly using it for
educational purposes (dictionary, encyclopedia etc), I was wondering
what would be my best choice. I've been lurking around this conference
lately and read just enough messages about double/triple/quadruple
speeds to confuse Einstein. My question is, what's my best course of
action. Should I go for one of those $199 double speed drives now, or
wait until the prices of the triple/quadruple speeds come down? Does
all this double/triple/quadruple stuff REALLY make a difference? I
currently have a 386dx40, but will doing a CPU upgrade to a 486/33 in
the near future. Basically, I need advice on whether I should spend my
duckets now and get something that may or may not be obsolete, or wait
in the hopes that my ever shrinking wallet will one day be thick enough
to purchase a quadruple/pentruple speed CD-ROM.

If it needs a caddy, you don't want one. Caddy drives require that you
insert the CD-ROM into a special carrier before you can stick it into
the drive... these carriers typically cost $5 or more each, and are not
necessary with a caddyless drive.
I was at CeBIT in Germany a month or so ago, and it's pretty obvious
from what I saw there that caddyless drives are becoming more popular,
and as people become more aware of the issues, the caddy-type drives are
disappearing from the scene. Manufacturers are mentioning prominently
that their drives are "caddyless" as an advantage... NOBODY is bragging
about the fact that their drives use caddies.
DF>that each CD will require a caddy, making them more expensive? What
Yes, either that or you have to fiddle discs in and out of the dumb
things before you can insert them into the drive. Steer clear of them!
DF>should I expect to pay for a cheap used or new drive that supports
DF>multiple sessions, particularly a single speed?
Certainly not over $150. You can buy a double-speed, caddyless
Panasonic brand new for not much more than that.
DF>What else do I need to

Really, Dolores, the truth is that you needn't really worry about
getting the absolutely-lowest-price-drive you can find. With the
double-speed Panasonic CR-562 family drives (which are excellent) going
for way under $200, the drive cost is minor in any case compared to what
you're going to be spending on the discs you use in it. If it was me, I

No, what you're taking as a joke is the price they're asking. There are

them out of their own pockets, to carry to and store on computers
around the whole planet your dumb message trying to talk a guy out of an
extra five bucks. Don't you realize that they're together paying FAR
more than that five bucks to carry your message? If you want the disc
being offered, then for pete's sake, pay the price the seller is
asking!!! If you don't, then press ENTER and go on to the next message
until you either find a seller who's selling it at your price, or decide
you're gonna have to pay the market price.

PC>Any time Lots of luck... Ever think of video capture??
The quality is usually very disappointing. You don't get anywhere close
to a 640x480 resolution, in part because the camera and VCR won't
usually do that good. The other reason is because you either have to
take two fields (both halves of a complete 525-line frame, recorded 1/60
of a second apart) and thus get a nasty fringing effect due to the
motion during that 1/60 of a second, or else you take just one field,
and that gives you even poor resolution still... no more than 263
horizontal lines.
Even a rather mediocre scanner will usually get a FAR better captured
image than you can get with video capture.

Jim, I'm interested if you have any shareware CD's that are 1993 or later and
have over 1000 or so shareware programs. This could be a combination of CD's.
If you don't have that, I'll trade for almost any modem that is Hayes

Then I can easily get 1000 many myself.

In addition to the SCSI-1 connectors, SCSI-2 also allows a smaller high
density connector. You should have no trouble finding cables to fit your
needs.
BTW, SCSI-3 completly changes the connectors, switching everything to a
high density 68 pin connector... ;-)

going back to the kitchen was just bad luck that you just happened to
find the path you already traveled. A complete map is hidden somewhere
in the game. Look upstairs in one of the rooms, I believe it is the one
with the bishop puzzel. The rug that is removed to play the game is an
entire picture of the maze. Copy the directions as you would be walking
and precisely follow them. You'll be trough in no time. Once you
successfully navigate the depths of the maze, you will no longer have to
go back through, you will be automatically transported back the the
kitchen when you finish the puzzle at the end.

Does anybody know of any "undergound" Cd's? I want to learn about
hacking, and Virii. This is of plain curiosity. I really want to know
about significant computer trials and real big things like the
Michealangelo and "stoned" virus that spread all year. I really want to
know it all. I have been very curious since the 1592 virus struck my
computer. I want to see if the people that killed my Hard drive really
worked on it. I really know nothing about hacking. I have looked
EVERYWHERE for a file about this stuff, in the Libray and every single
friggin' BBS in Orlando. I really hate Virii.

Do you like the Phillips Cd-Rom? I think the one I am looking at comes with a
Sony or Panasonic. The software is the main thing that really interests me
about the Fusion that I was talking about. It has four titles,
Encyclopedia(Interactive), 7th Guest, and two others, I can`t recall them right
now but they were not the best titles. Where is this place at that you bought
yours and is there one around the South Carolina area(the middle)? Thanks

I did the same thing, but found it was wasteful on memory, though it did work,
howver I now removed it. I just bumped the MSCD0000 /m:x (x=buffers) value up
alittle and it seems to work better. I do find increasing it too much isn't any
good neither, so I use /m:8 as the best comprise. Adios -----Bill

Well I can only help you with the first question, about the piano in the
spaceship. Yes, the drawing in the book has everything to do with getting into
the world. You've probably tried playing the keys in the right order and
everything, right? And you know the switches on the wall? Well, you've got
to carfully count the notes from the bottom of the piano, icluding the black
notes, one by one, and in the proper sequence. I'm not sure if you know what
I'm talking about. You move the slider up note by note from the bottom and
position it the number of notes upward that the notes are from the bottom of
the piano. Tell me if you don't get it.
Also, I can't get into the gear world. If you could just give me a push in the
right direction, (what do I need to change or whatever), without giving it away
completely, it would be apreciated. Obviously I can't help you solve the
puzzles in the world just yet.

Jesse, Not sure which CD-ROM you have, but I'd guess you'd have to change a
jumper (read the manual!) on the CD-ROM.. Also, Do you mean "IRQ" instead of
"INT"?? Also, without messing with the CD-ROM you might switch your mouse to
1, and modem to 2 leaving 3 or 4 for the CD-ROM (it's probably set (default) to
3).. Hope this is of some help!

Thank you very much, Michael, for the help with getting Rex out of the
water. I hadn't stumbled onto two of the underwater areas yet. Now I'm
where the choice is between a big fat woman who drops out of a tree onto
Rex and stomps him and eats him, or a woman who kicks him in a sensitive
spot and sends him back two scenes. At least I figured out how to get the
binoculars back from the monkey!
My primary problem with the game is that it doesn't support my mouse
properly. The mouse only can point to the left half of the screen, and if
I go to fast and move the mouse below the bottom of the screen, it locks
up the game! I have taken to avoiding the mouse in favor of the cursor
keys. Have you had problems like this?
It is a fairly intriguing game, and has nice graphics when played in
"Naughty" mode. Thanks again for the help!

OK, enough is enough and although it is AGAINST the POLICY of this
echo to FLAME OTHER USERS or TO FLAME OTHER DEALERS and ALSO AGAINST
POLICY TO CONDUCTING BUSINESS in this echo, it looks like we're
going to have to break the policy that we have abided by for 7 years!!
It's VERY OBVIOUS that you have left out most of the truth and twisted
the information to conform to what you want the users to think is the
truth and kept out much of the information you DON'T WANT the users to
know !!
Therefore, I will personally start with this message and then post a
FULL ACCOUNTING of OUR TRANSACTION after which I will NOT RESPOND to
any of your further comments as this will again BREAK THE RULES OF THIS
CONFERANCE, but then again, rules have no meaning or do they ??

First OFF Mr. Rothman, you make it sound as though there are hundreds
complaining all over the world about our service and policy. Yet, you
see one post here and one post there. I've seen more bad post about one
dealer here in less time than those aginst us in the 7 years we've
paticipated in the echo !!!! In NO UNCERTIAN TERMS, am I going to state
we have a 100% batting average and anyone that does, is outright lieing
thru his/her teeth. We do the best we can and if that doesn't work, at
least we made a good effort at it !!

Here again, you must be reading what you want to read and deleting
the rest of the information or FORGETTING IT !!
>> The word is still out, Beware and Caveat Emptor!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is one I'am Framing !! It'll be worth
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ in the near future !!
>> Boris, if you're reading this, everybody's tired of hearing

Here again, IT'S AGAINST THE POLICY OF THIS ECHO TO CONDUCT BUSINESS in
this ECHO and it is ALSO AGAINST POLICY TO FLAME ONE ANOTHER IN THIS
ECHO!!! Believe me, I have saved all of your message ( including this
one ) for future use and it's been VERY HARD NOT TO RESPONDED to them!!
I nor anyone associated with our orginization want to degrade the level
of this echo to the point in which you yourself would like to see it.
But, I guess it's that time of the year to get a phone call from Bob Hall,
so I might as well make it worth his call !!
>> You have my phone number, why don't you call me and we'll see if
>> you and I can resolve the problem you created. I'm tired of calling
>> you,
Here again, you twist the truth to make it sound the way you want it too!!
The last time we spoke and the only other phone call RECEIVED by you was
regarding your return, which was handled quickly and promply without any
comments or questions. You make it sound as though you've called us 10 - 20
time and we have not responded, which is NOT TRUE as stated above !!!
As for resolving your problem, uhmmmmm I think we can do that, just like
other dealers here. We can start charging our customers a 20% restocking
fee and also a $3. - $4. re-shrink wrapping fee and also charge for calling
us regarding your problem on our 800 service, like some other dealers have
been said they would do and also charging for goods returned in damaged
condition. WE HAVEN'T CHARGED ANY of our customers ANY OF THE ABOVE FEES yet
for any reason, but I'am sure we'll be happy to start with you !!
>> and I'm as tired of talking about your bad policies here as
>> everybody else is hearing them.
One thing I can say about this is that business has been growing, by leaps
and bounds, regarding Fidonet, since your bad policy comments. Most of
the comments coming from these NEW customers have been very positive toward
us !! I do get a good chuckle though about the comments they make regarding
the statments you've post here!!
As I stated, I will post a FULL ACCOUNTING of our transaction for all
to see, since I have nothing to hide and then let the users of this echo
decide if we were right or wrong !!! After that, I will not post any
further messages regarding this matter as it is costing the sysops of this
echo $$$ to pass this NON-CDROM ECHO material around, but then again, it's
not your concern is it ??

I have a friend that has a CD drive and games that need the sound blaster.
He got this crazy idea that he could hook it through his stereo with a CD to

put the tape in. Then he tried the test sounds and... it WORKED!!! A
soundblaster for 10 dollars!!! Sometimes it doesn't work though if you put it
in wrong. How does this work? Doesn't it need a whole board with the chips and
memory and stuff??? Why can a 10 dollar converter replace a 75-175 dollar sound
blaster??? I agree that this is an amazing discovery but cansomebody explain

Hello you all out there in Net-Land. Perhaps you can help me. I have an old,
well, older CD-ROM that needs a controller. It's a Philips/LMSI CM-202
cd-rom. I hear it either needs a CM-250 (or was it CM-215?) controller card.
Also, a generic disk caddy won't fit into it. If you know more about this
CD-ROM, please let me know.

Blake, the problem with that sony is that it yes, is a double speed, but
no, it doesn't have good access time.. THE REAL ACCESS TIME of that
drive is 550 MS!!
AS for good deals, Hi-tech USA (and other companies) sell a panasonic

to purchase a SB16 for 99.00 (or less) and speakers the likes that are

Well, I'm not sure if you need to worry about s&h, since I only charge
$8 for foreign orders (if it costs more, I pay for it). I do send air
mail for all foreign orders too (maybe I should say that in the price
list).
As for discounts on bulk orders, i've been debating on this anyway. How
about this:
1-10 CD's - Regular Price
11-20 CD's - 10% Discount
21-up CD's - 15% Discount
I hope this is sufficient to gain your business. I'm not sure I can do
any better, since my prices are almost the lowest around.

Did you get the proper drivers from MediaVision for it? I am running
a NEC 3xi (500 not the 510) through my PAS-16. I called MediaVision
and they sent me the drivers within a week, it took a couple of weeks
for the Audio Cables to come, but that was Ok, since I hadn't ordered
the CD-Rom yet. When I finally got the CD-Rom, it only took 20
minutes to install (hardware and software) and I was playing Rebel
Assault in no time. <G>
I have a 486DX/33 and did a benchmark on the drive, and it gave me a
tranfer rate of 452. I am not sure but maybe there is a difference
between the NEC 3xi 500 and the 510, and the drivers for each could
be different, one way to find out is call MediaVision.

Not necessarily, Brice. Mine is Grolier Release 6, 1994, shows the
SPAD. I think the trick here is that "6" is the release, my

Hi, Boris:
I know we're competitors, but I thought I would like to wish you well,
as I see a constant barrage of rather unpleasant comments directed
against you. I admire your composure over such ridicule, and hope that
it is put to rest one way or another.
Being rather new on the Nets myself, I was amazed how easily one can
become the subject of controversy over the least, and usually, the most
unimportant matter, virtually overnight! I'm sure you have seen a few
notes posted in my general vacinity. Having received positive feedback
and encouragement from the likes of Ray Herold and others, I have taken
their advice, and not replied to these insinuations. As Ray put it,
they eventually go away, and most veterins of the nets usually know
these inflamnatory remarks are more often then not, simply sour grapes.
Not wishing to bore you with this, I will end it by saying as the
British do: "Keep a stiff upper lip", and all the best.

Subj: Data corruption with SB16 Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
*@SUBJECT:Data corruption with SB16SCSI2/NEC3xi N
My CDROM problems are over! (see previous postings re: SB16/SCSI2
and NEC3xi problems)
Briefly, I was experiencing periodic bad data reads with my new NEC3xi
CD-ROM drive hooked up to a Soundblaster 16/SCSI2 interface. It turns
out the NEC drive *was* defective. It was returned and the new one
shows none of the old symptoms.
The following describes the situation in more detail, for those who
were reading the original thread or who are interested in the NEC
triple-speed drive.
First of all, the Soundblaster was never part of the problem. It
performed and continues to perform flawlessly. I never even had to
change the jumpers from their default settings.
The original problem appeared *after* I successfully installed OS/2
from CDROM. In order to install OS/2 one must disable internal and
external caching and certain other features (which are later
reenabled); disabling all these settings slowed down my computer
significantly and that had the side effect of reducing the frequency
of the problem to almost nil. When I later reenabled the settings and
tried to install another CDROM program I began to see the problem.
The problem appeared as any of the following, at various times:
1.Application refused to load into Windows under OS/2, giving error
message indicating there was not enough memory (when there was).
2.Application ran but crashed (strangely, a rare symptom).
3.Application failed upon reading invalid data (such as BC++4.0
INSTALL program when it detected a corrupt .PAK file).
4.Digital video player (in OS/2) would fail part way through an .AVI
file with a message about invalid command/data.
5.Text in ASCII files would contain isolated blocks of garbage bytes
up to several thousand bytes long.
6.OS/2 multimedia additions failed to install properly.
7.Large data files (8Meg) would contain blocks of corrupt data when
copied from CDROM to HD then compared with binary comparer. Small
files sometimes would be okay simply because the problem did not
occur frequently enough to hit me during the copy.
8.Undoubtably several other failures were caused by this, too.
I mentioned also that there was a large gear in the rear of the drive
mechanism that appeared to be somewhat (*very* slightly) warped. The
new drive does not have a noticeable warp. I doubt this was in any
way responsible since at least one other person mentioned he had a
similar apparent warp factor but that his drive worked fine.
It is interesting to note that when the original drive was recognized
by the DOS drivers it would be called a "CDR500 2.2", likely
indicating version 2.2 of some internal software, while the new one is
called a "CDR500 2.5". The first was manufactured in Feb. 94 while
the new one is dated Mar. 94. If this is a version number, jumping
from 2.2 to 2.5 (with no documentation covering changes) during one
month of manufacturing may indicate a slight problem which NEC had
identified and now corrected...I didn't call to ask.
Thanks to all who wrote with suggestions. Now I can get back to the
real work at hand!

I hate to make you keep repeating things, but I just got into you messages.
You bought a packaged CD-ROM, sound card kit? Is it a SoundBlaster 16
card? Who makes the
CD drive? You should only be installing the Sound
Blaster drivers. If you have a separate disk with CD drivers, don't
install them.
I just insatalled a Soundblaster Multi-CD board. Mine didn't come as a
package, but the sound card software is set
up to support 3 different CD
drives directly. Everything works fine in Windows for me.

Sorry man, but this is not so true. Here in Brazil many
users are buying from Boris Osadciw with NO PROBLEMS. And I'm sure
that our mail system is not as good as in USA, Europe and Japan.
And I have got no problems with him until now.
If someone wants to buy CDs, I recommend him as a very
good dealer. I myself have bought many CDs from him, and every
mounth I request many CDs (for me and some friends), and everybody
is very satisfied with his service.
I'm sure that many people in Brazil could write here about
how good Boris' services are. Unhappily not many people here can
write in English (my english is not very good even). But be sure
that most people I know that have ordered Boris'CDs are REALLY
satisfied !

1) In the rocketship world, I can't figure out the sound panel where you open
the door. (can't open the door, though). I've changed switches, put things in
order, reversed them, and finally am giving up.
2)Also, in the water world that you get to through the big tree, I have found
the book, but through an interesting twist of fate, have not found any of the
pages. Help would be apreciated in finding thesae pages.
3)And last but not least, how do you get into the gear world. But here, please
DON'T give me step by step instructions. I'd just like a hint, like where to
start, without giving it away completely.
Thank you for your time.

Well I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll tell you how to get to the book if you
tell me how to get the two pages in the waterworld.
To get to the book, you have to turn on the water tower and guide the water
(done by flipping the switches, which you probably know) to a little control
with a lever on it. when you pull the lever and water is running to it, a
bridge will appear. Cross the bridge and you'll find another elevator. If you
turn to your right, or somewhere around there, there's a little device that,
when pulled, extends a pipe across the water to another pipe on the other side.
You then have to recross the bridge and guide the water to this pipe (you can
tell if the water's in the pipe because you'll hear the trickling sound.). On
the other side of the pipe is the elevator, but you'll have to walk over the
bridge again, get in the elevator, go to the top and there's the book. You
might want to copy this message so you can look at it if you get lost.
So if you could tell me how to get the pages, your help would be apreciated.
Thanks=)

Hi. I gave you an empty message there by mistake. To turn on the light, you
need to go into the secret room and walk up to the star. Then you need to press
the lower right button located on the outside of the red triangle. I'm
assuming that you know how to get the lights working (flood the lighthouse
after closing the chest, walke in, open the chest get the key unlock the lock
turn the crank unflood the stairways go down see a secret room go inside). The
light will go on in the room so you can go in.

Not good advice... serial ports are standardized at IRQ 3 & 4, so he has to
have his modem on one and (presuming it's a serial mouse) his mouse on the
other... he can't use IRQ 1, that's for the keyboard... LPT2 uses IRQ 5, and if
he doesn't have need for two printer ports, he can disable LPT2 or his I/O card
may not support LPT2 anyway, and use IRQ5 as he planned.
His solution probably involves having the number of the interrupt included in
the initialization string for the CD-ROM in his config.sys - that he'll have to
edit according to the instructions.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi Don--From several years ago I remember a rather detailed
message here on the echo giving a step-by-step procedure for
'dis-assembling' a CD drive to clean the lens assembly. I
*think* it was a Sony drive like mine (a 6000/7000 series
external= 520 internal, I believe) and I kept the message until
my hard disk died last year. Now that I'm having read problems
with my drive (checked a couple CD's that I was having problems
with on another drive and the problems went away) I'd like to do
some cleaning, but I've gotten as far into the drive as I can
without the likelihood of destroying something without some
instructions to follow.
Were you the one that posted the 'procedure'? If not do you
remember who it might have been--it sure seems like they came
from over your way? I'd appreciate any help you (or anyone else)
might be able to provide. Though I Haven't seen one recently, I
recall that there was a 'DiskWasher' product to do this sort of
thing. Know anything about them?
Thanks for any thoughts you might have.

Two questions:
1. How will this handle a 1024x768x24bit image on a board with only 1Meg?
does it do 1024x768x16bit, 640x480x24bit window, or 640x480x24bit adjust to
fit?
2. How old is this package (which CD-ROM to look on) ?

Hi!
We've finished with a couple of CD's and thought someone else might
enjoy them. They came with my Creative Labs multimedia kit and both
include CD in jewel case and instruction manual.
Return to Zork Really fun with great graphics and music!
Iron Helix (requires Windows 3.1, SVGA and 4MB of RAM)
On Hand From Softbank. Dated 1994 Release 2. Demos of a lot
of different programs. The idea is that if you like a certain program
you call an 800 number, purchase the program and they give you a code to
unlock the program from the CD. Then they send you the disc and books,
too. They include a couple of free programs and some special offers.
Requires Windows 3.1 and 4 MB RAM. Two CDs are included.
Also have 2 software packages:
Lexicross Original box and manual 3.5" & 5.25" disks Supports sound boards
Personal Advocate Parsons Tech. 3.5" disks 2 disks & manual, no box
Make me some offers, O.K?

You're probably just going to need a generic Future Domain SCSI Cd-Rom
drive... (By which I mean you won't need something specific because it's an
Apple drive...) I recently sold one of these drives to someone locally, and
the drive will run fine in DOS/WIN but will NOT WORK under OS/2. Just thought
I'd warn you. ;-)
It's an excellent drive, however.

I think he's nuts -- Audio CDs hold about 74 minutes of "Data"... similarly,
if you record 16-bit audio and SAVE it as DATA (not music) to a CD, (ie. in a
.VOC format) I *think* you might just end up with 60-75 minutes of music. (if
I'm WAY off, someone tell me, but I think that's actually pretty close... 60
mins of music = about 600 megs?) I think the key here is that the current
Cd-Rom standard reads data off of DATA discs the same as it would from audio
discs... the tracks are the same width, etc....
I suspect that there are limitations to the accuracy that can be had, even
using precise optical mechanisms, or maybe the CDs themselves can't be trusted
if you jam anything closer... but I haven't seen much to indicate that you can
fit much over 650 megs on a 5.25" platter at a reasonable price...

SoundBlaster Pro (Panasonic/Matsushita) interface would be ideal, but would

I currently have a DoubleSpeed Panasonic in my machine, but would like to add
a single speed for my BBS... Sold my old singlespeed a month ago for $90, so
would like to pay about that or less, depending on the drive, age, etc...
If you've got such a beast, either SBPRO2 compatible, or another brand with
controller, internal OR external, I'm interested. Keep in mind that NEW
panasonic DOUBLEspeeds are down to $170ish, so I'm definately looking to spend
$100 or less for a used singlespeed.

Yes, the old SB (Pro and "old" SB16) has only one compatible
cd-rom driver, Panasonic (or Matsushita, in japanese).
For the new SB 16 Multi-cd you can connect a sony or mitsumi too.

For our card (my is a SB 16 ASP, "old") there is a double-speed
driver, Panasonic CR562-B (or CR-563B, this has a SB logo).
I have it; it's very fast and has a god price (for USA about US$ 180).

You apparently do not speak for the others he's treated badly. If you do not
wish me to post anymore about him, Then quit responding. I've never told
anybody to shut up on a public echo before, as you just did, but if you don't
want to hear anymore about him from me, then you shut up. I will always
respond to all messages to me. If you want to discuss it or anything with me
personally, send me NetMail and I'll respond the same way. If you address me
publicly, I'll answer you the same way. He screwed me and others from many
countries as attested to here. If you like his dealings, then deal with him.
Don't talk to me about it. I finished talking about him some time ago. BUT I
will not ignore an impolite, nasty message such as yours and I will always
respond to messages in the same venue they are posted!!!!!!
If you missed the first message I left where I fully described what he did and
my opinion of his business practices, and would like me to
repeat it, send me a NetMail message with your NetMail address and
I'll NetMail you exactly what started this thread. I was serious
when I said, I didn't want to clutter up the Echo. BUT, talk

Hello Ryan!
RI> Does anybody know of any "undergound" Cd's? I want to learn about
RI>hacking, and Virii. This is of plain curiosity. I really want to know
RI>Ryan Ilano
We are currently having a sale via Fidonet Echos on a CDROM disc that
I think is what you are looking for. It's called Forbidden Subjects
and our price for the version that does not contain the "Sick and
Twisted" graphics has a BBS User price of $19.95 plus Shipping and
handling charges ($6.00 2-Day delivery in U.S.). Let me quote one
of the ads we've been running to give you a good Idea of what's
on this CD:
" The most bizarre and intriguing information out on CDROM to date!
Hacking and Phreaking files with tutorials and Tone Box information,
Secret CIA, FBI and Law Enforcement files, Bomb Plans and "How to"
Crime files, along with BrainWashing, Computer Virus Code and Security
Secrets, Occult and Magic rituals, Forbidden Ceremonies as well as
much much more that others have tried to hide from the public information
channels for so long. Includes MegaSearch for those Facinating late night
text searches (Both Windows and DOS versions included)."
We are offering this CD at this price until 4/30/94, then a price
increase will follow.
If you're interested, give us a call (It's Free)! (1-800-843-7990)
Hope this information has helped Ryan.

- This offer is ONLY valid while we have supplies in stock!
- This offer is ONLY valid when you mail in the form supplied
below. Do Not Call Our 1-800 number for this offer!
- This offer is ONLY valid in the Contiguous United States.
(Other geographic locations will have this offer available
in the near future, so keep on reading our posts!)
O.K., enough of the prequalification statements, let's get to the
meat of this offer!
Hey Scott, what CDROM Disc is The Profit Group giving away?
It's our Original CDROM BenchMark and Test CDROM. It comes with
over 300 MegaBytes of varied ShareWare along with CDROM Drive
BenchMark and Test Utility Programs written by our programming
staff. These programs are not available on any other CDROM Disc!
What can you tell me about the CDROM Utilities?
The utilities measure CDROM Drive throughput as well as access
times in a reliable and consistent manner for a meaningful
real-world BenchMark for your CDROM Drive! Besides our custom
written program we have also included a directory on this CDROM
containing all the CDROM Drive utilities You'll ever Need!
What about the ShareWare on this Disc?
As mentioned, there's over 300 Vintage MegaBytes: Audio/Visual files
such as GIF's, Fli animations & Sound files in every variety.
Games for DOS, Windows & OS/2, System utilities, drivers, Windows
applications and True Type Fonts. Electronic publications such
as PC Magizine, Dr. Dobbs Journal and Sound Blaster Digest,
plus much much more! This disc is BBS ready with MegaDoor,
MegaFile (Makes files.bbs in any format) and MegaTerminal (Provides
your Users with mouseable pull down menues when accessing this CD)!
O.K., so what's the catch?
The only thing that we ask of you is that you send us shipping and
handling of this Disc which amounts to only $2.00! The CDROM BenchMark
and Test Utilities on this disc far outway this expenditure!
That's fair!
So how do I get this FREE CDROM Disc?
Just simply fill out the form below, print it and mail it in with
your $2.00 S/H to our business address. We will mail these
free discs out in two week increments, the first shipment
is scheduled to go out on 5/15/94! (Sorry, no COD Orders)

Subj: SCSI-2 Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
RSIs the SCSI-2 connection the same as the SCSI-1? Internlly a 50 pin
RSribbon cable with the female IDC socket connectors and for the external
RSthe 50 pin centronics male connectors at both ends of the cable that
RSgoes b/w SCSI-1 devices. As far as I know these work for SCSI-1 is it
RSthe same for SCSI-2? I think the NEC 3x external CD-ROM uses a
RSdifferent connector and I was wondering if that was considered the
RSstandard for SCSI-2. It was a very unusual port (for me anyway) much
RSsmaller than a 50 pin centronics. I don't remember much else.
Hi Robert,
Yes, SCSI1, SCSI2, and Fast SCSI2 connectors are identical and SCSI2 is
downwardly compatible with SCSI1 so you can mix devices using a SCSI2
adapter. The NEC 3X is switchable from SCSI2 to SCSI1 for those with a
SCSI1 adapter. A different type of connector is used for Fast and WIDE
SCSI2 (to provide faster transfers across the SCSI bus) but these adapters
and devices are fairly rare. The cabling used by the NEC external 3Xp and
3Xe is actually a MAC style plug and a centronics style SCSI cable can be
bought separately from NEC for the drive. I believe the cost is under $60.
The internal 3X uses standard 50 pin scsi ribbon cable connection. Sorta
sounds like the externals are targeted at Mac owners and internals at PC
Pilots.
Hope this helps, Cheers..Paul.

For your information, INFO magazine did a processor comparison between the new
Power PC chip, and the 100 mhz Pentium. The Power PC was faster, but by about
5% on integer manipulations and by about 20% on floating point. Not a
significant difference, is there? At that point, I'll pay more for the peace
of
mind of running a machine with a real x86 instruction set for compatibility
reasons.

Hi All!
A Look at DR. GAMES CD Disk.
General :-
When bringing up the front end of this disk it gives you
a Sharware warning. It then goes on to the main menu. All
this main menu does is show you a list of the games 62 in
all. Once you have found a game that you would like to play
it will start a bat file and you will be able to play the
game. When you quit the game you will return to Dos and will
have to go through the whole menu system from the start. This
I found to be a bit irritating. If you are a BBS Sysop this
disk will not be for you as there are no ziped files or
files.bbs files. In fact if you are a games enthusiast
I would not spend the R110 on this disk.
About the games :-
Out of the 60 games I played or tried to play 20. I found most
most of them to be these silly little game that you would play
while waiting to do something more importaint. A few of them
I could not even find out how to get started and had to give up.
Even the graphics were not that good so I can't even say it was
worth looking at it for that. The only game that I found I could
sit and play was a copy of Wolfenstien 3D.
You can Request a full list of the files "DRGAME.ZIP" from me
at 5:7104/9 or download it from Big Mac BBS 041-333113.
Cheers,
Dave

I bought it about a year ago brand new. How long of warranty does NEC

Yes...there are 2 programs and several databases on the CD. The 2 programs are
"The Online Bible" and "The Seedmaster For Windows". I prefer the Seedmaster.
You can have 2 different translations on the screen at once.The Seedmaster
version on the CD is an older one and only supports KJV, but I called the
Seedmaster BBS and D/L the newest version...it supports more formats.
Seedmaster has several CDs that have more databases but they run $89-$129 I

I have a NEC CDR-80, that was working fine for months. Suddenly, upon reboot, I
noticed it was taking a LOOOONG time to initially read the CD. So I rebooted
again. Then it wouldn't even look at it. just a quick blink (about one every
second). And the system would NEVER boot up as a result.
Do these things get dirty, or need some kind of cleaning now and then? I smoke
and my ashtray is near the front of the unit. I have noticed the fan inside
the case, does suck the smoke in. Could it be the lens needs a cleaning? Or
does it sounds as though the drive has gone for good?
Any and ALL advice on this is greatly appreciated!

test....they may all be of dubious reliability anyway. I like this drive. I
would buy it. I did. The person that sold it to me had not seen on in use
before installing it on my system. He seemed genuinely surprised that it
appeared to access data significantly faster than he was accustomed. (Not
entirely an unbiased opinion!) Go ahead and buy it....what else could you do

disks if unable to read the disk but they don't mention how to correct
the problem. The drive light comes on and the drive appears to be
trying to work before the disk is ejected. No error messages.

I wouldn't get Select Phone for labels!
I got their "NEW 1994" set. Only to find out that they consistantly had
phone numbers and addresses that have not been unpdated since 1991 and
1992. Luckily I had my "NEW 1993" set, and sure enough, there were too
many similarities between the two, and I had a ton (metric!) of returns

On the good side, 1994 uses fewer CDs and seems to run faster.

Does anyone know where I can get a cable to connect my Toshiba 3101bme
to my audio card? I can't find the connector that fits into the jack on
the back of the Toshiba anywhere (it's the same as the one on a 3301b
I've seen. I think these two drives may have been pulled from external
cases so the connector may be different from a 3101 or 3201 that was
sold as an internal drive originally, but I'm not sure as I havn't seen
any other Toshiba CD-ROM drives). If I could just get that connector I
could easily make the rest of it. The 3 pin connector is shaped
something like this:
; _________________
; _| |_
; | O O O |
; |_________ _________|
; /___\
Where the "O" s are the pins.
It's small compared to a typical header receptical that would have 3
pins. The actual with of that connector above is only about 8 or
9mm. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert.See@toltbbs.com
PS If anyone here is selling the cable for this let me know the price +
shipping, the length of the cable, and where to send the check. (and
it's shielded right?)

I've recently received a CD-ROM and Sound Blaster. I'm interested in
finding what CD's are available. I'll be checking this echo, but if
anyone would like to send me their catalogue, I'd be pleased to look at
it. I'm interested in educational CD's and CD's that serve the
Christian community.
Send catalogue to;

PS., it will be almost imperative that you be able to ship by regular

Hello Winnipeg, this is Whitehorse!
I've got something from Creative Labs, the "Aldus Photostyler SE"
(whatever that is). From what I gather, it's a photo CD software. But
I don't know much about it, and have not used it. I doubt I'm going to
get into photo CD's for some time yet. You probably know more about
this software than I do. If it is some use to you, make me an offer.

Greetings all.
I've got 3 CD's I'd like to sell or trade. I'm looking for educational
CD's or children's CD's. Particularly a World Atlas or "Mixed Up Mother
Goose" or any Bible and/or religion CD.
For trade I've got:
1) Loom (whatever that is, but it doesn't appear to be anything I'd be
interested in).
2) The Secret of Monkey Island.
3) Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe.

Franky,
I just recently purchased a cd from Brice and it took around 3.5 weeks before I
received the
CD. I prepaid via a check. He does say in his ads he waits til the check
clears before sending
out the goods. The price I paid for the CD included shipping which turned out
to be 4th class
and could explain the l-o-n-g delay in receiving the shippment.
Hope things turn out for you.

There are two easy things to try.

NOTE TO ALL SYSOPS,
Please see the note to you and Bob Hall at the end of this post.....
.......................
Boris, I am not flaming. I've been on echos for years, you've never
seen me jump on anyone and everything I've said is truthful.
The facts are plain and simple. You shipped late again and again.
You said a shipment went out on a certain date, then when I finally
received it, the postmark was days later than you said it had been shipped.
You said the post office must have lost your package. I've been in computing
for more than a dozen years and photography for 47- years. Living in Alaska I
buy much of what I need by Mail Order. According to what you told me, you have
apparently had the post office lose more of your packages than all the other
dealers I've dealt with for more than 47-years.
>BO> I am going to state we have a 100% batting average and anyone that
>BO> does, is outright lieing thru his/her teeth. We do the best we can
>BO> and if that doesn't work, at least we made a good effort at it !!
The responses I've seen from Japan, Canada, Holland seem to contradict your
"100%" remark. You shipped me late, wrong stuff, titles not ordered or
promised and after two months of getting un-connectable, unusable system
parts, I was fed up and asked for an RMA. You gave me one and said to return
it Parcel Post. I didn't because, in your own words, "The post office is not
always reliable" I sent it back DHL. It cost me $42.00. After a month, you
finally credited what you charged me, but not what it cost me to return the
stuff to you. I called you to ask about that and you said I shouldn't have
sent it DHL, and you refused to send me the $42.00 I spent to return the
defective, unconnectable system to you. I then said, OK, just send me the
$20.00 it would have cost by mail. You refused this as well and that is when I
became upset and what started all this communication.
Even then, since you told me you were through with Fido, I wasn't
going to post on it. Then when I saw you back on with quantities of messages
per day, I felt an obligation to post my experiences. I posted ONE message
about the situation, explaining clearly what happened. After that I only
responded to messages to me about your dealings elsewhere. I said, and I
repeat, IF I had returned any merchandise BECAUSE I changed my mind or didn't
want it, THEN I would expect to pay shipping both ways AND a restocking fee.
BUT I returned the stuff to you because you shipped me an unconnectable system
and when I complained, you told me to cut off the ends of the connecting
cables and solder on new ones. Also I originally ordered the system well
before Christmas and the end of February I still did not have a usuable
system from you.
After our last conversation, some time ago, you told me you were not going to
advertise on FIDO anymore because you had "too many complaints" I was through
with you and wasn't going to post anything about it as I didn't see any reason
to. I too have saved all the correspondence on this. If you missed any of
those messages from others and would like copies of them, send me a stamped,
self-addressed envelope, and I'll send you copies.
NOTE TO BOB HALL and all the other SYSOPS. This is the total truth and
the end. I will not respond further or continue the thread. The story had been
beat to death. As I said to others, If they like Boris, deal with him. I just
posted what happened to me as general information. The only thing I'll respond
to further is if somebody flames me. Then I have to respond. If anybody would
like to send me Netmail, I'll respond the same way. Let's not clutter up the
Echo! There's too much good out there to go on with this further.

That's not a bad show, considering the contest is between x86's near-last
inception and Power PC's first generation. My concern also is one of
compatiblity, specifically, will the software I write today be useful even
five years down he road?
But again, what's most important is what your prime application is. I'm
running ACAD-class vector (floating point intensive) graphics software. If
I'm doing a 3D file with lots of hidden line removal, I have very little
trouble bogging down a 486/33 machine. For a typical such plotting job I'll
easily lock up the machine for 10 minutes while it does nothing but figure out
which lines not to print. While this does give me a sense of pride, I'd much
rather have the machine doing other things.
RISC means, I think, only that low level machine instructions are stroed
somewhere else in the computer than in the microprocessor. The reason we have
so many CISC machines in the world is historical; x86 computers are based on
designs such as ENIAC (the chip itself looks physically very much like the
floor plan of an ENIAC lab) wherein memory was expensive ferromagnetic core
type. Huge op codes had to hard-wired into the central processor if computers
were to be at all "reasonably" affordable. Even during the cold war, price
WAS an object.
What's made RISC affordable is simply the introduction of cheap DRAM memory.
It is now practical to keep the main data routes clear of idle code
("garbage") and select only what you need for a given operation from RAM
located off to the side of the microprocessor. Witness the new 64-bit RISC
based video games that feature real-time decision making abilities with very
complex graphics and sell for less that $300 list.

As amazing as it may seem, they're starting to talk about equipping our
coumputers here at work with CD-ROM drives! And to think that some of
the controls out in the plant are 30 year old pneumatic controllers with
circular chart recorders! At any rate, if this comes to pass (and I
hope that it will), does anyone have any information on where I might
be able to get technical reference works (such as the Kirk-Othmer
Chemical Encyclopedia, etc.) on CD-ROM?
Thanks.

This looks like all CONFIG.SYS
Now, the next part is, given this, what problem are you having? And what have
you done to try to fix it? (your config.sys is about 8 times as long as mine
is...because I cut out everything I can).
Unfortunately, I am currently using DOS 5 and QEMM 6, while it looks like you
are using DOS 6 and QEMM 7...with which I obviously can offer less help.

Nope. A cdrom player. What you're hearing is what's on the cd recorded as
audio. If there is any music that is digital (Midi) you won't here it. Also
if there is any digitized speech, you won't hear it.

Robert -
While I can't give you any advice on what SCSI board to use, I would
say that you're on the right track. Ever since having hooked my NEC 3xi
up to my PAS 16 I've had crappy video performance in anything but the
TINIEST of windows. Of course you'd never get MediaVision to say that
yes, the SCSI interface on the PAS isn't all that it should be!
I saw a post here a couple of days (weeks?) ago from a guy who had
this to say:
Finally I went out and bought a 16 bit SCSI-2 controller. The 3Xi works
just fine now. I'm now getting 449kb/sec (Darn, where'd that 1kb/sec go
<g>) and my multi-media apps run SMOOLTHLY.
Looks like a fellow sojourner found the light. Best of luck. If you
get a chance, e-mail me and let me know what you bought, how much it
cost and if it solved the problem.

TL}well, older CD-ROM that needs a controller. It's a Philips/LMSI CM-202
TL}cd-rom. I hear it either needs a CM-250 (or was it CM-215?) controller card.
You might try:
Tiger Software 800-888-4437, they have a Philips CM-205 for $129, or
Corporate Systems Center 408-734-DISK, " " " $99 &
several controller cards for I think $19, or
Damark 800-729-9000 CM-205 drive & card $99 (item# B-8410-384690), or
Philips 800-835-3506 I'd guess they have everything <g>.

RS>>What software are you using for your disk cacheing? I thought I read

That really depends on the Windows games. I noticed that if you use
800x600 mode or higher on The Journeyman Project, the game will hang.
You will have to switch to their authorized 640x480 mode. 640x480x16.8m
will work fine but it does not make the picture any better. Some games
like Iron Helix (Requires Windows too) doesn't mind you using higher
resolutions but doesn't like you using Hi-Color mode....but at least it
asks you to change it rather than hanging your system. Anyways, apart
from Adult porn movies, there's no games on the market that use more
than 256....at least not that I know of.

Hello all :
Well, I sent out a message for help on this over a week ago but I guess
it didn't get out because there was no response. I'll try again. I,m
stumped as to how to get the key for the door in the cellar at Boos
Myller's place. Can anyone help me on this? Also, if I get that key,
will there be someone or something in the room that will tell me how to
get out of the town of east Shanbar? I appreciate any help you might
give.
Thanks,

Greetings!
I'm hopefully going to be buying a CDROM drive in the near future, and the PC
Magazine Editor's Choice in the February 22nd edition has convinced me that the
Sony CDU-33A is the best choice. Has anyone got any information for me on this
drive? The article did not specify whether or not the drive could load CDs
without having to push the tray in.
If anyone out there has a Panasonic CR-562b drive for sale, I'm buying! Also,
any vendors, please send me your catalogs. (over netmail, not to this
conference!)
Thanks all.

I read that the future of game sounds will be CD-Audio and not MIDI
coded in the programs. This would mean much better quality sound. I
read this in the Sierra newsletter, and in fact at least one of their
titles (Betrayal at Krondor CD) already uses this type of sound. The
music is stunning, much better than FM synth. I believe the music was
created using a General MIDI setup and recorded on the CD. All of
the music tracks can be played on an ordinary CD player, but to hear
them through your speakers (hooked into your sound card) you need to
connect that CD-Audio cable to your card. Otherwise, use the
headphone jack on the front of the CD-ROM drive...

Ah, so you have that one for sale. I've been leaving messages on CIS
wondering who sells it... I have ordered from you before with no problems.
But, that was for my BBS stuff. I need this SelectPhone for work. I was
trying to gather info on cis about it being able to printout mailing labels.
Someone on cis said it does.
I will order it from you if you will allow me to return it if it does not
do the job. I run a hotel and want to do some mailing each month. I want to
search by city and state and then limit my search criteria even more to come up
with say 500 mailing labels to send to the printer.
If it will do the job, it is what I want. If not, I need to know that I
can return it to you for a refund. If you can assure me of that, I will put in
an order for it from you.
You can crash me if you want, via fidonet at 1:2202/5.. I assume that I
can get the 10% sysop discount off the price??

It is getting bad Peter when the Kids have to fit the avalible cd's . For the
sake of the kids set your network up right and give them the benifits of an
education that incudes Multi media. If many of us today had been showen multi

problems. ie. if the card doesn't have one, it won't work.

As long as the SB2.0 has a three pin audio connection on it to

Hi Steve
Fascinating... You posted on 29 April, I received on the morning of 2
May, and I'd previously d/loaded several times, including last night.
I'd be happy to post a list of Australian CD mail order suppliers back
in this echo if I can put one together - good idea!
Yes, I had in mind audio CDs (my own interest is early music/Baroque,
but don't want to limit it too much) that are supplied mail order. We
have one excellent store here in Canberra but this town is generally
pretty expensive.
Cheers

They dont JUST read files
The only reason they dont call them Multimedia is that cannot meet the MPC

The so-called non-Multimedia drives have been in Australia for many years, long
before the multimedia types. ALL drives manufactured before 1990 (I am not real
sure of the date but around this time) fell into this catagory.

With the low price of the single and double speed drives nowadays it not worth

Folks,
I have a CD ROM drive and it works very well - Panasonic I think.
The only problem I have with it regards the software and one CD ROm Disc.
For some reason I can not install the SoundBlaster Creative Labs Demo Disc.
When I type "setup" the windows display checks for "the required environment"
and claims to require MSCDEX Version 2.XX or greater.
I have MSCDEX 2.22 in my DOS 6 directory, which when I enquire, has "already
been started".
This has me stumped as this is is the only disc that I can not run.
Any suggestions?

Sounds like a single speed drive that will work the SBPRO2 IDE interface or
even the standard one. As a single speed it'd be ok for the BBS.
How much do you want for it ? :-)

HI,
I am also now in the market in buying a cd-rom for playing games and my bbs.
In answering your question, Yes, you can buy a separate AT Interface card which
control your Cd-roms. (This costs about $35-45). BTW, the lowest price I find
for a Panasonic CRB562 is $274 not including the interface card. The store is
in China Town in sydney.
>Also, do all CD-ROMs require the same I/O

I am not sure but I don't think so.

I think you must get a double speed rather than a single speed, not only
because the small price difference between them, and also the jerkyness to play
games using a single speed drive.
Cheers,
Alan Tam

'Lo there!
I'd like to buy a pair of good quality speakers to use with music CDs on
my PC.
Most of what appears to be available can be put to shame with a cheap
set of headphones: no base resonance, no clarity on the highs, no
clarity at low volume and general fudginess of sound overall.
Various salespeople have suggested running the CD through the stereo
system - unfortunately this isn't a goer, since the stereo's at one end
of the house (lounge) and my study is at the other: buying another one
seems a bit like overkill so that option's out.
Anyone got some ideas on what would really qualify as HiFi (and not the
LoFi that sells in the Soundblaster packages)?
Glad to hear from you...

It's about time we saw some moderation come on line.
I've been around this echo for about three-four weeks now and the long
ads (worse, the multiples) getting posted are really beyond belief!
Came to the view that this was open slather territory. Glad to see it's
not!
I think a degree of accommodation is reasonable: but do the turkeys know

You can buy a writable cd rom drive for about $4000. more or less. There
companies who will perform the service for you if you send them a back up
of your hard drive. Look in the back of some computer magazines in the add

Yes, you can get a seperate card, it should cost you about $10 more... As far
as I know, you need to use the Panasonic card, but the price is so low, you
really don't have a need to buy a different brand card.
>a double speed CD-ROM drive cos if I don't the hi-tech,

Yes, you can't run those games on a single-speed drive. BUT, in the next few
months four or five companies (Toshiba, Plextor, Teac, etc.) will be shipping
QUAD-speed drives that will sell for $200 to $300 on the street! So, if I were
you, I would wait at least 'till June, and see what happens in the industry.
Normally, I don't recommend people wait for products that haven't shipped yet,
but it seems like if anyone buys a new drive now, they'll certainly have pretty
bad buyer's remorse pretty soon...

TW>I am just a little ahead of you... I need to know these two things

TW>1) How do you get past that @!#$%^& poodle?? <G>
TW>2) How do you get in the General Store (the green one in East Shanbar)
To get past the poodle, play back the tape recording of the poodle
growling to the poodle.
To get in the general store- this is a little complicated:
1. Go to the farmhouse and knock on the door
2. When you talk to the guy inside, be humble
3. He should give you the box of bras that are on the ground in front.
4. Go back to the town and stand in front of the incinerator.
5. You have to put the bras in the incinerator and burn them.
6. After they are burned, you'll get a wire.
7. Use the wire to pick the lock.
Hope that this helps you,
L8R

I guess you're talking of level 9, the one in the fractal space or something
similar. By the way, yeah, that's a hell to get through, but you can go on much
more smoothly after that.
It's frustrating because you always end up with the last damned car in front of

you don't need another card if the panasonic comes with an interface
card of its own. but if it doesn't, you'll probably need to buy an
sp-pro or sb-16,both of which cost about 100 each. Sofar, there are
five cd-rom type interfaces. odds are that a panasonic wouldn't work
with a sony interface card. If you want, COMPUSA is selling a double
speed drive with an interface around my house for 149.99 plus tax, and
i'd be happy to get it for you the next time i go, provided you send
me a check or moneyorder. With this drive, you wouldn't need another
sound card because it comes with its own 16-bit interface card. It
works very nicely. I have it set up on my computer.

chris, if i were you, i'd get the creative labs' omni cd-rom drive.
spring for the extra $40 of $50 bucks and you will ensure yourself
years of easy upgrading, such as when you wanna add a sound card, say
an sb-16, you wont have to go hunting around for a card that has a
compatible interface on it for your cd-rom drive. this will also,
eventually, give you an extra slot in your computer. hope i have been
helpful.

After calling all over the country, an outfit in L.A. finally referred me to
AMC, in Redmond, WA, 15 miles north of me. :/ The DB25 is actually mounted on
a small 1/2" wide PCB, with 18 resistors/diodes, to prevent DC from interfering
(or so the salesman told me). I ordered it Thursday, and got it Friday. Will
install it today. My problem getting it from MediaVision apparently has to do
with their current financial difficulties.

Subj: Average Age Revised Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hello All!
I have been refining the program that I wrote to calculate the
average file date of a cd rom disc (or of any group of files on
a drive or in a directory). In order to make it simple when I
first wrote it I had converted the months based on an average of
30 days. I knew it was not exact because 30 days times 12 months
equal 360 ...but there are 365 days in a year. I finally got
around to writing the code to do the calculations accurately
based on the number of days in each individual month.
Anyway I wanted to make this program available to file request
and correct the stats on a couple of the cd's I had reported the
original average date on:
Night Owl 12 Average date of all the files: 1-2-94
Cream of the Crop 3 Average date of all the files: 1-23-94
Freq AvgAge.zip from 3625/441 if you like. There are no docs
but you may want to know that any file date before Jan 1 1980 or
after Dec 31 1999 will be totally ignored and omitted from the
averaging process. If you want to run AvgAge on a directory or
sub directory you have to put it in your path and change to the
directory. If there are any sub directories under that directory
it will check them too. It ONLY works on files with .ZIP
extension.
Enjoy!

It will probably be easier to have the images stored on your hard disk, and
then back them up to the tape. It would be a lot quicker, and save a lot of
time (tape drives are pretty slow :) ). I know some of those images can end
up taking 20 megs or more, but I know of no utility that will simply copy files
to a tape drive.
The picture quality will be the same as the scanned image on your disc. What
you see on the screen after you scan the image is how it will look on your
compact disc.
Kodak photo CD's are unique in that they have many different image files for
each resolution you view them at. The other advantage to the photo CD's is
that you can view them on any PhotoCD compatible system, such as the Kodak
PhotoCD, 3DO, CDI, and any future CD-ROM based system.
This could be beneficial if you are travelling to a friend or reletive's home
and want to show them the same images. When you do it yourself, you'll be
limited to only Mac and PC owners (provided their drives are ISO9660
compatible).
The other downside to doing it yourself if the cost. Most people on here
charge anywhere from $50-$75 to press a single CD. A kodak photoCD can be had
for less (depending on where you have the pictures transferred). You'll also
get better image quality, since the negatives from your pictures are used
instead of prints.

Well, currently we offering the "5 CD's For $25.00" in this and

RS>How important is it to connect up the CD-ROM audio to your sound
RS>card?
There are games and programs which use CD audio. LucasArts'
Loom, Secret of Monkey Island; National Geographic Mammals;
and many CD magazines like Nautilus include CD audio.
You should definitely get your CD-ROM's CD audio hooked up
to your sound card. Here's how:
There's a fantastic company called TTS multimedia which will
make a cable to connect any CD-ROM drive to any sound card.
I got my cable from them and was very impressed with the
quality and their service.
Here's the info:

I got it for my son. It's pretty much entirely arcade action. The game
graphics are very good. Sound can be good, but I keep having intermittent
problems getting the sound to work on a PAS16. The joystick control is
pretty hard. The docs on setting it up are poor and you may need some help
on that.
My main gripe is that you have several scenarios per level. When you
complete a level you get a password that allows you to go to the next
level if you quit the game and restart. The problem is that, as far as I
can tell [as I say the docs are poor], when you use the password you
always have to got thru the scenarios within the level in order. So if you
finish a level halfway and quit, you have to restart at the first scenario
of the level.
For example, my 6 year old wants to fight the Imperial walkers, but you
can't fight them without flying thru caves first and we can't get thru the
caves. I've read of cheats to remedy this problem and tried one, but
couldn't get it to work.

Brian,
Visit the OS/2 or the OS/2 hardware echo. The sound with your SB16 is a
problem in the drivers that requires you to use some DOS utility to turn
on the CD audio. I don't have a SB16 so that's all I can tell you, but
I'm sure that someone will know exactly what to do. If you don't get
those echos write back to me and I'll post a message for you and relay
any responses.

Yes.
BH> Will 563's and 562's co-exist on the same controller card?
Theoretically. However I was not able to make them work that way.
BH> Whats the best price you have seen the 563's for?
The local Software Etc. has them for $169 or $179, I forget which.
That's about the average street price for those things ... you can do
better.
BH> lemme see if this in in the ballpark. The way I understand it is
BH> that you had a problem adding CDROM drives to a 563 that you
BH> already had. Thats what you refer to as (Add-On) drives....right??
In a manner of speaking. I bought a 563 with controller card from
Software Etc., and then went about the exercise of trying to find
additional drives to put on that controller. I bought two 562's from
Kirk Jensen at CD Access, and then found I couldn't make them work on
the 563's controller. Using the driver supplied with the 563, the
562's wouldn't be recognized at all; using the driver supplied with
the 562's, all drives would be recognized but any attempt to access
any of them would result in a Drive Not Ready error.
Then I bought another 562, and a 16-bit-bus controller, from Kirk, and
put all three 562's on one controller. That worked fine.
There is some evidence that the device driver supplied with the 563's
from Software Etc. will not support multiple drives no matter what you
do (this despite the fact that the outside of the box is prominently
marked as "able to daisy-chain up to four drives"). There is also
some evidence that the controller card supplied with that drive is a
non-standard design (for one thing, it only gives you addressing
options of 0x250 or 0x260, and not 0x300-0x340 as seems to be common
for CDs) and that therefore someone else's device drivers will
probably not work.
BH> I just boughtt my 563 so I'm not positive that is the way it should
BH> work, but if it operates on the same principal as my Sonys, that
BH> should be correct. Give it a test and lemme know how it turns out
BH> before I purchase any more of these drives.
Mostly it depends on where you bought your drive. If you got it in a
mall chain store, and if the device driver is called SBCD.SYS or
something like that, and if the interface is an 8-bit card with
addressing options of 0x250 and 0x260, you may be stuck. At least
if you get it to work on more than one drive, I'd be interested in
knowing how.

i seem to recall their last junkmailing as including some games and slideshows

Thanks for your reply which immediately ease my frustrations. Before I was
thinking of being cheated by somebody!
Does USPS has any kind of tracking number? Please ask USPS for me on the
current status of the package.
BTW, because several of the BBS here in Guam is down sometimes, so possibly the
reason why I did not receive any of your previous mesage is because of that.
In the future, please address email to franky.wong@os.guam.net, post to FIDO

I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks

That would be sufficient. In other words, yes. I would wait for the
Quad-speed drives to come out though. The price for them is in between
$200-300 dollars. But they don't come out 'til June. Ah, the Sound Blaster
card. It has pretty good support. All the major games, encyclopedias, and
just about everything else supports. I had an SBPRO for a while and it served
me well. I have old stereo speakers hooked to my computer. BUT WHAT EVER YOU
DON'T GET THOSE CHEAP $14.00 LABTEC SPEAKERS!! If you want a higher price
for a CD-ROM drive I would get a SCSI drive. They are a little faster
however. There aren't any disadvantages that I know of of external models.
Except that they are a little expensive.

If you are referring to the pattern to solve the puzzle on the inside of
fireplace door, you need to put all 4 of either the red or blue pages in
the corresponding book in the library and then Sirrus or Achenar will
give you the correct page number. It's VERY important at that point to
save your game. You'll know what I mean depending on what future choices

Sorry to butt in but here's a tip on the Channelwood Age. When you get
up to the trees you need to explore all of the "huts". In one of them
you will find a lever that you need to activate. When you are at the
lever you will be in line of sight of the spiral staircase and pulling
the lever will open the door to the staircase. You then need to find
your way to the staircase and it will allow you to proceed further. Good
Luck!

I've finished the game but am hardly an expert (I did need hints from
others). I can appreciate the surprise you received (hope you had saved
your game). The instructions for finding the vault that are on the two
torn half pages in the game are incorrect. You need to turn all eight of
the marker switches ON and then turn the one at the dock OFF. The vault
will then become obvious. You should be very near the end of the game. I
thought the game was great but the ending was a little disappointing.
Let me know what you think.

LS>I just bought a mitsumi double speed cd-rom drive and I have an 8bit SB PRO.
LS>If I hook up the audio to of the cd to the sb card I can't hear an audio cd,
LS>but I can hear most of all of the sounds from a multimedia cd.
Does your SBPro include the 'direct CD audio' connector. If so, then what you
need to do is rewire the audio cable what came w/ Mitsumi since SB and Mitsumi
has different pinouts; OR buy a cable from the computer store that does the
rewiring for you(about $10 in Houston TX);
SB Pro CD-ROM In Mitsumi CD-Drive
Pin 1 - Ground 1 Pin 1 - Right Channel out
Pin 2 - CD Left channel in Pin 2 - Ground out
Pin 3 - Ground in Pin 3 - Left channel out
Pin 4 - CD Right channel in Pin 4 - Ground out
Use a pin and poke the pins out of the plastic connector and
rearrange the wires so that they the match SB pinout.
I just upgraded from an 'orginal' SB (no CD audio connector) to a SB16MultiCD
(includes interface electronics to talk to Mitsumi), and I needed to move my
wires around to the audio to work.
LS>Also the cd drivers seem to use up 145k and 32k and even after using
LS>memmaker I can't get more than 530k ...
I use QEMM myself, but perhaps adding a "/X" onto the Mitsumi driver command
line will help as it instructs the driver to use extended memory

At Starvector Software, we have made it our policy since 1987 to only
advertise titles which we actually have IN STOCK. There are many CD-ROM
distributors advertising "1000's of CD's", when in fact they only keep a
small percentage of that quantity on hand. This creates delays and
frustration for you, and is the primary reason we have always elected to
"stock what we sell". Like all businesses, items will occasionally sell
out, but our in-stock rate currently is around 96%, and we're striving to
improve on that. Call us! 485+ CD's READY TO SHIP TODAY at great prices.

I hope those aren't the ones that have the power saving "feature" that cuts off
the speakers after a certain amount of inactivity. We suggested those speakers
to 2 of our customers and the absolutly hate them. The sounds are clipped off
more often than not because they are "asleep" most of the time.
We looked around and actually like the Labtec 700. Their sound is superb, they
have both a bass boost and a treble boost. They will either amplify or not,
your choice, and they cost about 50.00. Generally the same price as the radio
Shack speakers. They come with a wall adapter (no batteries like the Radio
Shaft), their sheilding is greatand most importantly, they have a really good
sound.

Nah, that isnt' quite true, Terry, Here, I run some older vintage Hitachis
(purchased from you, as a matter of fact) and 2 Pioneer 604Xs. Speed
comparison is laughable. The Pioneers will copy files to the HD for transfer
eons prior to the Hitachis. Plus, I use a door called EZROM that deals with
any possible collisions that might occur in my multinode setup. The Pioneers
are approaching an affordable amount of bucks and are extremely worth the
outlay if speed, ease of setup, and reliability is the issue. For about
$1000.00, you can purchase one of these quad speed hummers...

Ref the rest of your message, you outlined the specifics pretty well.
Are the CDROM's mentioned above falling into the category you explained?
I am specifically looking for something legal, (guess that means no
pentration) licensed, and much larger than your current disk. I
understand the costs associated, but am willing to pay the price as its
better than getting carted off to court. I beleive your current CDROM
has 1000 gif files, and I dunno how much space it uses. I need to try
and use my CDROMs to the fullest potential. I currently do not know of
any other CDROMs that are available that fall within the "legal" status.
Please keep me informed.

$2500 for seven pictures of donald duck is pretty expensive. Did'nt know

I am glad you liked our country, the northern part of Queensland is very

What CD's do you have to sell, what charges for ail mail, what payments
do you accept. A bank draft costs 10 to 12 dollars first up.
So a CD costing $20.00 US. + $10.00 postage total $30.00 would cost me
$42.00 Aust. + $12.00 cheque Total $54.00 Aust.
So $20.00 US turns into $54.00.
To work out US $ TO Aust. $, you times US $ by 1.4.

Greets to all!
I have recently aquired a Mitumi Double speed CD-ROM card bundled with a
sound card. It is operating fine. However I was wondering how I should set
up the drivers for maximum efficiency. What size buffer is best for MSCDEX?
What is the purpose of this buffer? At the moment I am using a 20K buffer.
Is it possible to have this buffer in extended memory? Animations are
sometimes jerky and I thought that a larger buffer would help. It doesn't
seem to.
Also, can anyone reccomend the Shareware overload trio pack? It seems
like terrific value at $40. I wouldn't recommend the five foot ten pack
(unless it was bundled with your CD-ROM) for $95 (Only Animation
festival & Kings Quest V are half reasonable).
Thanx in advance, D*****.
PS Thanx to Stephen Ranson, Denis Coleman, Alan Tan & Glen Mohnoham for
their CD-ROM buying advice (on another echo). I went for a $399 bundle.

You are right... but such a process would take a very long time.
I think such a program as this one is dependent on the
credibility/reputation of the producer of the Cd Rom disc. If
you know that a company "doctors" the file dates on their cd's
it wouldn't be any use in running this program on their cd. If
file dates are doctored they could be doctored inside the
archives just as well... so I don't see the advantage of
uncompressing them in light of the hour or more that it would
take to check the dates that way.
Anyhow.... this program can already do an average of all the
files inside an archive.... all you have to do is unzip the
entire cd to a directory on your hard drive and then run AvgAge
on those uncompressed files. Have fun <grin>!

Hello Tim!
I apologize for having to echo this message to you, but I feel it is
neccesary.
I'm sure you probably read more messages on this echo than anybody else,
so I'm positive you've seen the onslaught of for-sale message on this
echo area. When my BBS first started receiving this echo, there was
only one or two vendors posting ads to this area. Lately, it seems as
if everyone and their mother is posting commercial advertisements to
this echo. Personally, I'm sick of it. I'm not alone either.
I was under the impression that there was a seperate echo area for
posting of commercial advertisements. I'm getting tired of sifting
through advertisments to find useful CD-ROM information. After all,
that's what this area is all about: useful information.
I'm also sick of getting unsolicitated messages from dealers every time
I ask a question. I'll post a message asking for an opinion about
something, and immediately I get response saying "I have it in stock for
x amount of dollars."
I'm urging you and the moderator to ban such advertisments from this
echo. As I said above, my fellow users are getting sick of it as
well. Commercial advertisements are not allowed on the fidonet anyhow,
and I'm hoping you and the moderator can do away with them soon.
Thanks for hearing me out.

I think that when you're in the main station when you enter and you can
choose to play a mission, etc. you hear a digitized voice saying something.
Also the gunfire, etc. from the ships would be digitized. There's no way
you would get that sound through the headset.

Well I thought I had finished the game when I gave the last few pages to those

unexpected world (g)
Anyway...I think that I must find the vault located in very plain view on the
Island of Myst. I think the instructions for finding the vault is for me to
locate each of the Marker Switches on the Island and turn everyone of them
"OFF" and....that's it I'm stuck.....pleeeeeze can someone help me here?

* Original Area: CD-ROM Conference (I-E)
* Forwarded by : Blue Wave v2.12
Hi everybody,
HELP!!!
Is there anybody who know how to contact Brice Fleckenstein, sysop of
1:231/190?
We use FIDONET newsgroup to communicate freely, to share information.
I am particularly delighted that we could do trading and sales through
FIDONET now. It is through mutual trust that we believe in each
other's word. And I do not want to see that somebody use
advertisement through FIDONET to deliver inaccurate information.
On 2/24 I sent Brice a check of US$130.00 for the purchase of 5 CDROM
and shippment (the shippment address are printed clearly together with
the order, and sent with a check enclosed). According to bank records
the check was cashed on 3/14. But up to this date (5/10!), I have
still not received the above order.
Concerning this, I have sent Brice numerous emails (since March) which
he never replies. I have also sent him a letter more than 3 weeks
ago, asking him to have the shipment of the order confirmed, but I do
not receive any response from him yet.
It seems peculiar that both internet and NETMAIL could not reach Mr.
Brice's mailbox! I am now VERY frustrated. Hoping it to be a case of
mis-understanding more than a case of cheating, I'd GREATLY appreciate
if anybody could relay this message to Brice (or any of his friends)
about my serious concern.
We are a group of computer professionals (more or less :-), I do not
want to bad-mouth anybody, but I also do not want to see inaccurate
advertisements / traps appears in a FIDONET newsgroup. I believe my
above case must be justified. Otherwise, who knows what will happen
the next time you trade something with a friend from a FIDONET
newsgroup? Shall we sign an agreement first?
I wish my case be justified by your kind assistance! Any comments are
welcome!
Thanks
=======================================================================
Brice.. Don't know if this guy sent a message directly to you or not, but
I've seen you writing in this echo before. You should clear this up to
make sure you don't get a bad reputation in this echo.

Hi Tony, I see that you have finished the game! Well I am stuck and I hope you
can help me. I need to find the Myst linking page for the father. I'm
guessing that it is in the vault on Myst Island; but even though it says that
the vault is in very plain view, I cannot find it!!! Just give me a little
hint.
Thanks
ps. I have already turned off the switches, is their an order for that?

Hello All!
I just picked up an Intersect NEC CDR-25 (External) CD-ROM reader, to go along
with my NEC CDR-84 (Internal) CD-ROM reader. I'm using the exact same drivers
I used when I was running just the internal. I was able to perform the proper
switch settings, so there isn't a conflict. The problem I'm having is that the
CDR-25 seems to slow down my whole computer when searching, and at times get a
read drive failure. The CDR-25 is hooked up to the same 16bit SCSI interface
kit, model # CDXT003, as the CDR-84. Do I have to live with this, or is there
something special I should know or do? Here's part of my config and autoexec:
Config.sys:
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:1 C:\SCSI\MA13B.SYS
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:2 C:\SCSI\NECCDR.SYS /D:NECCD
Autoexec.bat:
C:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:2 C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:NECCD /M:10 /E
I tried raising the value 10, but I kept on getting a drive failure message. If
anyone can help, that would be great. Also, is there any good CD-ROM cache
software out there?

I got one that works fine :
During the presentation (when the Death Star is on the background and the Lucas
Arts figure is spinning on it), push the joystick up + press button 1, then
push the joystick down + press button1, then same to the left and finally to
the right (be quick because you have only the time of the presentation to
accomplish this). If the cheat is accepted, you'll ear a bell and a voice
saying "Lucas Arts". After that, the following cheat keys are active :
During arcade sequences :
'+' reset your damage level to 0
'-' set your damage level one step higher
<Esc> Skip to next chapter withou completing the current one (usefull to your
son !!)
Between arcade sequences (during video sequences) :
<1>-<9> put you directly to the corresponding chapter (interesting for your son
as well)
for chapters 10 to 13 (and so on)
<a> --> chapter 10
<s> --> chapter 11
<d> --> chapter 12
<f> --> chapter 13
Have fun !

Hi there!
I've just bought "Star Trek: 25th Anniversary" on CD-ROM. This version is fully
spoken with the voices of all the original crew-members. Neat!!
BUT...the last mission "Vengeance" seems to have been changed!! I checked the
other missions with a 'walkthrough' and everything is the same. But the last
mission is a lot longer now!! In the 'normal' version, there are two places
where you can go: the bridge and the sickbay. But I first get a screen of a
turbolift-panel and I can go to: bridge, auxiliary control, sick-bay,
engineering, transporter-room and weapons-bay.
The problem: I have done everything I could... Power is reastablished and my
shields are up. I have access to all rooms, EXCEPT WEAPONS-BAY. I've just been
hailed by an Elasi Frigate; I have 30 minutes to look up some data concerning
his comrades in prison. When I go to the transporterroom (where I've put a
portable energy-source to feed the transporter) Spock says that this is the
only way to the torpedo-bay; but I don't seem to get anywhere with that
transporter, while everything works just fine according to Spock...
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPP!!!!!
All hints are welcome!!
Thanks!!
jAn.

FAO Gold 1-3 is the best pictures of the FAO series plus
approximately 40% new pictures of the same high quality.
As well, all the FAO Gold pix have had all of the BBS logos

JT>Thanx,
Forbidden Subjects has all of those subject areas plus more.
We sell it for $39.00. Here's my description:
FORBIDDEN SUBJECTS - (Original Version, If you Dare!)
The most bizarre and intriguing information that is available
on CDROM to date. This disc has become so controversial with
our advertisers that many of them have banned us from referencing
it's contents in full detail for fear of retaliation. Hacking
and Phreaking files with tutorials and Tone Box information, Secret
CIA, FBI and Law Enforcement files, Bomb Plans and "How to" Crime
files, not to mention Sick and Twisted Graphics (Appalling!),
BrainWashing, Computer Virus Code and Security Secrets, Occult
and Magic rituals, Forbidden Ceremonies as well as much much more
that others have tried to hide from the public information
channels for so long. Includes MegaSearch for those Facinating
late night text searches (Both Windows and DOS).
If you have any more questions Justin, give me a holler.
BTW, if you decide to order this CD from us, tell'em you
saw it advertised on a BBS or Fidonet Echo!
Take care,
Scott Huffman

Hi, Scott. This is my first time replying to a message on a board, so hope you
get this message (you must if you're reading it, right?). Anyway, regarding
7th Guest. I have a similar system set up as you and I've had no trouble
running the program (just finished it last night, in fact). What's in your
config.sys and autoexec.bat files? My files are just the default settings that
came with the system and I've not fooled around with them yet. You say the
game worked okay before, so you must've screwed up your config/autoexec files,
right? Anyway, this isn't much help to you, is it? Did you read the
"readme.txt" file that tells you about MSCDEX and the buffer settings. What
about your sound card. It wouldn't let me install mine the way I wanted to, it
only let me choose soundblaster.pro (mine is a SB16) and it does crash
occasionally when swapping disk 1 and 2. Anyway, hope you get it going. The
ending is quite disappointing (too short). If you need help with the puzzles
let me know as I've solved them all (except the microscope which is
unsolvable).

This is the second time that a person has jumped to a conclusion based on a
false assumption.
We DO in fact have multimedia stations for students. However I have a network
of 125 older B&W computers that could benefit (remotely) by a text based CDROM.
If I had ASSUMED from your statements that I should ONLY have multimedia
equipment, I would only be able to afford over the last few years a handful of
computers (as many schools are currently limited to) - of course I will not
make the same type of "simplified assumption" that you and others have.
Anyone who is developing a school network knows there is, and will always be, a
trade-off between newer vs. older equipment AND how much of it we can afford to
buy. Also, we will always have a mix of newer and older equipment. Shall I
ignore the largely untapped potential of the older equipment and help make it
obsolete before its time? Maybe some people can afford to do this, but those
of us in normal funding level schools (ie. not "model schools"), who want to
get as many students as possible using technology, cannot. I have more
students in my Junior high school using computers than most senior high schools
in Calgary.
Bottom line -Yes I would love to have yet another multimedia CDROM for my
"four" multimedia stations, however I would like to have "one" CDROM that my
"125" B&W computers can access from any point in the school.
Quite reasonable I think!!
Lets put this to rest please as I would prefer to get something "done" rather
than debate why things aren't perfect.
So I ask again, any good text based CDROM discs out there? ;->
... Peter

Hi. I know how to get the page, but it doesn't work in either book. You need
to turn them all to the "on" position, then, as a final step, turn the one on
the dock to the "off" position. Sounds like you only got half of the page.
The other half is somewhere else. If you've found a third book, please tell me
how to find it. If not, I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. Please leave

Sounds good - didn't see the original message - Did they leave leave contact
information? If you have it I'll contact them and see what I can do for you.
On a similar note, there is a new cd coming out which is a bundle of Band in a
Box, Midi Music Shop plus more which normally sells for hundreds of dollars
separately. I should be getting an OEM version of it for around the $50 mark.
It sounds like a hot disc and several of our other music oriented customers are
eagerly awaiting further information. I'll keep you informed.
Anyway if you pass on to me the contact information for the above company I'll
look into bring some in. I guess it would be too expensive for you to buy it
one off direct (with shipping/insurance/bank charges etc.)
Regards,
Steve M.

Hi Jerzy!

JF> I would like to order Night Owl 11 + Night Owl 12 for $79.00. and take

JF> I will be sending a cheque tomorrow morning.
We are all but sold out of N.O. 12 (demand has been overwhelming). We are
again bringing in a large quantity express from the US (should be here Friday).
This is the same situation that occured last week when we increased our order
by a large amount only to find that demand over the weekend increased by a
larger abount.
Night Owl 11 and the other dozen or more shareware discs we carry are all still
in stock.

Steve

Actually Steve, it is not the US cdrom echo, but the international
cdrom echo, which is one and the same echo that you posted your
message to Steve Mann into. (there is no Australian cdrom echo,
nor a US one for that matter). Your messages locally are readable

About CDSPEED
CDSPEED, a performance monitoring and evaluation tool,
measures CPU utilization when transferring data from a
CD-ROM drive at sustained data transfer rates into main
memory. CPU utilization is an important measurement
that indicates:
* the CD-ROM drive's ability to transfer data at
sustained data transfer rates
* the efficiency of the CD-ROM device driver
* the CPU bandwidth available to process the data after
a read request and before the next required read operation

Ok,
Here's what ya do...remember the button in the elevator that only took you
1/2 way down? It took a few seconds to work....OK go up the elevator and press
the button and you can get to the REAL controlls, just jump out as soon as you
hit that button. Then you can spin the Gear World Fortress to connect to other
little islands. On these tiny islands there are symbols. Set these symbols on
the pannell where you came into this world. And that's it...
Oh yea, make sure you line up that dial in the basement.
Hope that helps. If not, ask me again where yer stuck.

Hello, fellow electronic wanderers,
This is a heads up note. Pass it On!
Dangerous New Trojan Horse Virus Found on Internet
TORRANCE, Calif., April 29--A new "Trojan Horse" computer virus is on the
Internet and is labeled with the name of the fourth largest manufacturer
of CD-ROM drives. Chinon America Inc., the company whose name has been
improperly used on the rogue program, is warning IBM and compatible PC
users to beware of the program, known as "CD-IT.ZIP."
One of the clues that the virus, masquerading as a utility program, wasn't
on the up-and-up was that it purports "to enable read/write to your CD-ROM
drive," a physically impossible task.
CD-IT is listed as authored by Joseph S. Shiner, couriered by HDA, and
copyrighted by Chinon Products. Chinon America told Newsbytes it has no
division by that name. Other clues were obscenities in the documentation
as well as a line indicating that HDA stands for Haven't Decided a Name
Yet.
If CD-IT is actually run, it causes the computer to lock up, forcing a
reboot, and then stays in memory, corrupting critical system files on the
hard disk. Nothing but a high-level reformat of the hard disk drive will
eradicate the virus at this point, a move that sacrifices all data on the
drive. It will also corrupt any network
David Cole, director of research and development for Chinon, told
Newsbytes that the company knows of no one who has actually been infected
by the program. "We felt that it was our responsibility as a member of the
computing community to alert Internet users of this dangerous virus that
is being distributed with our name on it," Cole explained.

O.K. Liz I will see what I can do for you here. First take the audio
cable (the small one) that runs between the CD and the Sound card. Take
the four wires out and reverse the white ones with the black ones. ex.
switch the black with the white. hope this is clear. this will give you
thee audio portion that you are looking for. As for the mem. I take it
you are running Dos 6.2 by your mention of memmaker. Just use a text
editor and go into the autoexec.bat and the config.sys and load them
into high mem manually. Alot could depend on how much memory you have in
the machine also. below is the two lines in my machine hope they help.
Autoexec.bat;

I had a simular problem, but not with anything like what you are using.
I have a 386 40, Mitsumi drive (non SCSI) and the same type of problem.
Figuring the drive was overheating (crash after 20 min. of the computer
being on). I moved it outside of the case. No help... I would then open
the case slightly and let a fan blow into the case, after 10-15 minutes the
Cd would then work again. Then the finger test...:) Hottest chip in there
was the CPU..got a small cooling fan on a heatsink and installed it on the
CPU. Not another CD crash after that.

The last three topics I looked up weren't in it. I geuss they wasted too
much room with the audio and video clips. As to Chompton's I heard it's
been around the longest and is the largest one available. I'm planning on
getting it next month. As fo the price, Sears had it for $250 and half
price if you give them your old encyclopedia disk. Babages had the exact

it and bring it back if you don't like it. If you have a babages around

If it's a problem, you can change the buffer settings on MSCDEX.exe
(it's the /m:xx, where xx is a number of buffers) to a slightly lower
number. Then mscdex.exe will be smaller and will fit in the high
memory area you have left.
Or you could do like me and switch to OS/2 2.1 if you have the hardware.
I get 630+ k in a dos session and my CDrom is available.

Maybe your monitor isn't capable of all the modes your card is capable of. I
have an XGA card and a VGA monitor. The problem you talk about happens when
I try to get 800x640 resolution(I think that's right). First, try not
loading the driver. If that doesn't work, maybe you're trying to run it in
SVGA mode (don't load driver and switch mode to MCGA). If you've already
tried this, sorry I have no ideas.

One product, the Britannica Instant Research System, designed for
publishers, businesses, librarians, and professional researchers, is

Britannica Online, will be available to college and university
faculty, students, and staff via the Internet. Neither product is
designed for the general consumer.
The announcement was made by Joseph J. Esposito, president of
Encyclopaedia Britannica North America, a division of Encyclopaedia
Britannica, Inc.
"The introduction of these two products represents a significant step
forward for Encyclopaedia Britannica," he said. "We are determined to
be a leader in the new information industry, to bring information to
people who need it in ways they can use it best, and these products
exemplify that commitment.
"In the coming years, the Encyclopaedia Britannica will be reinvented
countless times for different applications and for different people.
It won't be just a single, solid thing, a set of 32 volumes, but a
planned set of texts that can be organized, accessed, and presented in
many different ways. Over the next decade we will bring into the world
as many versions of Britannica as possible, and these two products are
the first ones."
The Britannica Instant Research System contains all 44 million words
of the bound Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1994 printing, as well as the
Merriam Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, the Merriam-Webster's
Collegiate Thesaurus, and the 1994 Britannica Book of the Year. These
features are combined with powerful search-and-retrieval software that
enables the user to get facts or answers easily by typing in
natural-language questions, such as Why is the sky blue? or Who
directed High Noon? The system locates ev ery reference to the key
words in the query, compiling a relevance-ranked list in which
articles appear according to the likelihood that they contain the
information desired.
The Britannica Instant Research System is delivered on two compact
discs, which contain the product's text and search-and-retrieval
software. The user loads the contents of both discs, by means of a
CD-ROM drive, onto the computer's one-gigabyte hard disk. The system
is then operated directly from the hard drive.
Britannica Online will also contain all text articles from the bound
Encyclopaedia Britannica, along with approximately 2500 graphics and
illustrations and the Britannica Book of the Year. The product will be
licensed to colleges and universities, which will make the Britannica
data accessible to faculty, students, and staff. Britannica Online
will feature relevance-ranked retrieval and hypertext links between
related articles, between articles and illustrations, and between
articles and listings in both th e encyclopedia's index and its
outline of knowledge, the Propaedia.
In announcing the new products, Esposito stressed that neither
replaces the printed Encyclopaedia Britannica. "The Encyclopaedia
Britannica is a database with many possible manifestations, and these
are just two of the possibilities. Each publishing platform has
distinct advantages that make it preferable for certain purposes," he
said. "Among other things, you can browse through a printed book in a
way you cannot with a computer; it provides for serendipity, the
pleasure of chance encounters with things y ou weren't looking for."
Encyclopaedia Britannica, which appeared first in Edinburgh, Scotland,
beginning in 1768, is the oldest continuously-published reference work
in the English language.

Sorry about that Bruce. With hundreds of these catalogues going out I did
forget about highlighting good titles for children aged 2 to 3 years. I have
just had someone reviewing a few of these titles and have also just received
some new reviews from the US. Allie's Playhouse and Tortoise and the Hare are
both brilliant but unfortunately expensive. They're from Broderbund (the
makers of Grandma & Me and Arthur's). They're newer games and hence have not
been released in OEM form.
A couple of new ones that we imported after the catalogue went to print also
look good. These are:
Putt Putt's Fun Pack - Junior Adventure ............ $49
Fatty Bear's Fun Pack .............................. $49
I have seen both and they look good. Fatty Bear has excellent graphics and
sound and games with varying levels of difficulty. My son Andrew (2.5 years)
loves it but cannot really play it yet. I think he'll be ready to play it at
age 3 to 4.
Another new one that did not make it in time for the catalogue is Rodney
Funscreen. I have not had this one reviewed yet but it is inexpensive at $38.
I've heard good things about it (that's why we imported it) and it's from
Activision. I'll post a review on it in here soon.
We should be getting a regular stream of new titles in this catagory over the
next few months. We have connected to a series of educational reviews from the
US which should help us choose the most appropriate titles to bring in.
Regards,
Steve

Tim, don't you have any message size limits in cd_rom_sale?
You see, in Australia (I think) we receive a combined echo, which
means that we not only have to put up with selfish people who
obviously can't bear to miss one single sale, but we have to see
TWICE their messages (Double bummer!)
Please tell me that you don't allow multi-screen catalog postings..
By the way, please do not misunderstand, I LOVE adverts in the echo,
I just HATE the selfish wasted of bandwidth we see all too often.

We don't stock all of the Walnut Creek range but the one you mentioned are in
stock. I spoke to the distributor last Saturday morning about the Simtel and
was told that there has been no new release.
The new CICA is on 2 cd's. A new release of Hobbes came out in February. We
also stock the Source Code CDROM from Walnut creek for software developers.
You probably got our catalogue with your last order but these new CD's didn't
arrive in time.
Hobbes (Oct 93) $19
Hobbes 1994 $29
Simtel $29
CICA Windows (2 CD) $35
Source Code CDROM $35
For the complete range of Walnut Creek CD's you could contact CDROM Support in
Perth who specialise in Walnut Creek products. Their number is (09) 385-3793.

This isn't a very good answer, but it takes Sierra about 18 months to
produce each of their newer games, and the CD quality we are all
growing to like so much is probably going to stretch that even further.
This is straight from the lips of Roberta Williams herself, from an AVI

What do you mean the genuine article? They're the same drive, made by
the same company in the same factory. One has 'Creative' on it and is
boxed in SoundBlaster kits, and one doesn't. Gee, I'd hang out for that
extra feature. Almost as good as having 'RAYBAN' on your sunglasses
instead of just the little plastic thing.

Ray, it's been a verrrrrryyyyy long time since we last spoke, but I'am
glad to see your still at it. As one of your old time beta testers, I
can honestly say, this is one of the best file doors I've had the
pleasure of using. I'am just sorry that RoboBoard FX isn't support
by this program or I would install it in a minute !!!
Keep up the great work and if you ever get a version that would work
with Robo FX, drop me a note and I'll be happy to run it on our system.
Note: To the users of this echo, if you haven't tried the above file door,
I strongly suggest you give it a real good look. When we last used it, it
had more gigets and gagets than the space shuttle. A REAL solid program
that will knock your socks off, unless Ray has down graded the program !!

Most of the people we know, run the above with 32k buffers. The only other

Nope, unless your software will allow it. The only thing you can load

We sell the "Shareware Trio" pack for $16.00 here, as to weather it's
worht the $$, that would depend on the user using it. But, for $16.
you do get 3 cd's, which isn't that bad of a deal.
Regarding the 5ft 10 pack, we have that as well and it's priced for
$35.00, that about $3.50US per cd. My feeling is that even if 4 out
of the 10 cd's are of any interest, I've received my moneies worth.
Plus, you receive over $100.US worht of discount coupons good for
other commercial products as well.
Hope the above helps and if we can be of any further service, please
feel free to drop us a note via the fidonet address below and we'll

After 11 years of using audio CDs, I find this "risk" to be CONSTANTLY
overstated - and the cost of caddy protection to NOT be worth the actual value
of the additional protection.
You are MORE likely to damage your CD getting it INTO the average caddy than
in
putting it into caddyless CD-ROM drives.
Now, if you deal with small children and CD-ROMs, I would call a caddy drive a
wise investment....

Hallo WILL,
Op 12 May 94 schreef jij aan ALL het volgende:

Try using Qemm 7.04 with its Stealth mode. It will be able to create more
high-ram in the rom address space.

I'm using Qemm and I have just one tsr loaded in low-memory. And that's because
it won't load in himem.. ;-) Here is an overview of my memorystatus:

Scott, you need to check your mailer setup. You tossed back a message
I got a week ago from Mike Shannon, only this time it shows that you
orginated it and sent it. In fact, I saw a whole bunch of messages
from you that had originally been sent out from other people, so it
appears that you're taking in the mail, removing the originator's name,
adding your own, and sending it back out. Somethings definitely not
set up right in your mailer.

Ok, there are a lot of things that you need to have picked up. The hamburger
from the ship's fridge, the binoculars,the rebreather,shield generator, and a
few other things. Just look in every little place on the ship to see if there's
something you can take.. Also, have you gotten to the part where the fat lady
makes a meal out of you? that's one place you need to get past.. You know that
pit that's a screen east of the witchdoctors hut? There's a bush right next to
it that you can take the leaves off of to cover the pit.. Then place a
Twinkiefruit on the pit and the lady will come bouncing in and fall in the pit
and then you can get past.. Make sure to pick up the bones you'll come to..
Also, make sure to save your game VERY often.. Hope this helps some.. Look
around, you should be able to find hints on a BBS somewhere or if you want get
a membership to America Online.. They give you 10 hours to look around so you
can get the rex nebular hints and then cancel your account.... You'd need a
major credit card or a checking account also.. thier # is 1-800-827-6364.

NASIRC BULLETIN #94-17 May 5, 1994
Dangerous New DOS Trojan ("CD-IT.ZIP") Found

NASA Automated Systems Incident Response Capability
===========================================================
NASIRC recently received information about a potential "trojan horse"
program being distributed on the Internet as "CD-IT.ZIP"
SYSTEMS AFFECTED:
This trojan apparently only runs on "IBM compatible" systems; DOS is
definitely susceptible, and Windows might be.
THE PROBLEM:
According to information posted in several Clarinet newsgroups, a new
and dangerous trojan is showing up at publicly-accessible Internet
sites. This trojan, called CD-IT.ZIP, supposedly gives your PC full
read/write capabilities on its CD-ROM drive. The CD-IT documentation
states the program was authored by Joseph S. Shiner, couriered by HDA
and copyrighted by Chinon Products. The problem came to light when a
user who had downloaded the file from a FidoNet server in Baltimore,
MD, realized that it is IMPOSSIBLE to make a standard CD-ROM drive
writable with a small software utility and reported it to Chinon.
Other suspicious indicators were obscenities in the documentation and
a line indicating that HDA stands for "Haven't Decided a Name Yet."
In a statement to Newsbytes, Chinon America stated it has no division
as named in the documentation. Chinon engineers also report that if
CD-IT is actually run, it locks up the computer; it will then remain
in memory (even after reboot) and will corrupt critical system files
on the hard disk as well as any available network volumes. Chinon's
R&D Director stated that he has not heard of any systems that have
(yet) been affected by this trojan.
THE FIX:
Although there is no real "fix" for a trojan or virus, there are two
important points NASIRC wishes to make:
1) DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE FILE "CD-IT.ZIP" FROM ANY ON-LINE ARCHIVES!
2) DO NOT RUN THE "CD-IT" UTILITY!
Once a system is infected, the only way to eradicate the virus is to
perform a high-level reformat of the hard drive!
To quote the Clarinet post, "Chinon is encouraging anyone who might
have information that could lead to the arrest and prosecution of the
parties responsible for CD-IT to call the company at 310-533-0274. In
addition, the company has notified the major distributors of virus
protection software, such as Symantec and McAfee Associates, so they
may update their programs to detect and eradicate CD-IT.
NASIRC will continue to monitor this situation and will post additional
information should it become necessary. If you have any questions about
this bulletin, please contact NASIRC via any of the venues below.

The audio connectors on the CD and the card are backwards of each other.
You need to change them around completely. I had the same problem and
called tech support for Creative Labs.
Basically, one of them is wired Left-Ground-Right-Ground and the other
one if Right-Ground-Left-Ground. If you know how, just re-wire the
little connector, and you should be good to go....
Creative Labs also sells the new cable pre-made. Call 405-742-6622.

Hello everybody,
Does anybody know when Sam & Max will be released on CD-rom ? Overhere in
Belgium I still haven't seen it. Is it already available on the other side of
the big blue ocean (well, it WAS blue once ;-) ? It must be one of the greatest
adventures of all time (most of LucasArts' are), but I will not be temped to
play the speechless disk version, since I know what great fun it is to have
does dazzling dialogs spoken out to you (Day of the Tentacle must be the
funniest game ever, mostly thankx to those voices)...
Greetings,
Koen

Well, they both of course cover the same basic areas, but the way they are
laid out is totally different. We sell more of the Encyclopedias, mainly
because I think the interface is nicer to work with, plus the fact that the
whole thing runs directly off the CD, with no hard drive installation
required. I've looked at both, and I wouldn't hesitate to put both in my
personal collection. Each one has its own nice features, but they reveal
details about the assassination in different ways, each one painting a
slightly different perspective.

I do this. I charge $100 to restore your data from tape, and write the

AC> how will the picture quality compare to a kodak cd-rom?
That *COMPLETELY* depends on your scanner, and the graphics file type you use.
If you export the pictures to a 256 color .GIF file, you can fit thousands onto
the CD, but the image quality suffers somewhat.
If you export to 24 bit .TIF files, the real limitations will be your scanner
and your video display capabilities.

Give you a hint without giving it away...if you are where i think you are (3
level house with windows).
You have to define the "rules" through which you can traverse the house...there
are 4 different shaped windows, corresponding to 4 directions (UP, DOWN, LEFT,
RIGHT). You start on one of the bottom windows...the direction you choose to
go defines the direction for that shaped window. For instance, if you are on a
square window, and go left, you MUST go left every time you hit a square
window...one direction for each type window...if you already have defined the
direction for a particular shape, then the computer will automatically choose
that direction when you hit that shape, which is why you will see some choices
made automatically...if you need morehelp, lemme know.. (this is the last
puzzle to solve, i believe, before seeing the ending..)

Sorry to ask you sir, but can you give me your address again. I set it

your mailing address again.
RG>What are these BBS/Fidonet discounts and how much are they?
Well, for example, T&A 2 The Maxx is advertised for $14.95 in
Computer Shopper, you can get it here for $12.95, as well, many of
our other titles are discounted only in this medium.
Hope to hear from you soon Robert!
Have a great weekend!

from us for a total price of $47.00 CDN + PST + $3.50 S/H. A couple of
the discs are a waste -- like Doom -- but the majority more than make up

For what little it is worth, Grolier was the first electronic encyclopedia
generally available, first on-line then on cd-rom disc. Compton's followed
by a few years and released the Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia in fall
of 1992. Encarta came along later still. The newest electronic encyclo-
pedias that I am aware of are Axis (French), the Encyclopedia Britannica
(Britannica Instant Research System) and McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of
Science and Technology. Both BIRS and EST are this year and both they
and Axis are *very* expensive.
BTW, it is difficult to tell the "size" -- which is "largest" etc. --
because the space could be taken up with audio, pics and videos etc. A
better way is to go to your local library and look through the paper
editions. Then you can have a side-by-side-comparison. Encarta is
an updated, upgraded version of Funk and Wagnall's for instance.

.
In regard to the SIRIUS FIVE-FOOT TEN-PAK.....
I'd like to try and clear the air about this package. There have been many
posts regarding it's relative worth - now you can make up your own mind.....
Many of you have asked why it is so inexpensive... what is wrong with it?
There's NOTHING wrong with it! One or two of the dealers that scooped them
up with the intention of reselling them are bitter because the package is
available at many of the larger software outlets for between $30 and $35,
while the dealer cost is not much less.
The "Five-foot 10-Pak, Volume I" is the first in a projected series, released
by Sirius Publishing as a promotional item, packaged inexpensively in a
five-foot soft plastic sleeve that folds to 6" x 6" X 1". The concept is to
represent ten different publishers in each pack, NOT with "demos" but full
release versions. (Only one of the discs in this package is a "sampler", but
the identical disc is also available at retail outlets.)
This comes under the general heading of "you get what you pay for" as opposed
to "caveat emptor" ("buyer beware"). Volume I contains "something for
everyone" and, although not every disc in it will appeal to you, you should
find at least three discs that do. At ten bucks apiece, that leaves seven
"free" discs that you can use for frisbees - or trade with other collectors.
I happen to like more than three:
(1) Time Man Of The Year '93 (Time Magazine, 1993) IMHO, an excellent disc,
with LOTS of reference material on many personalities.
(2) World Fact Book (Wayzata, 1993) State department data, CIA info, travel
advisory, and photos of EVERY country! Very interesting.
(3) PC Karaoke "Classic Oldies" - The retail package w/o the microphone. This
disc includes "Danny Boy", songs by George M. Cohan, etc.
(4) The Best Of Media Clips 2.01 (Aris, 1994) - A sampler of high res images
from baby animals to dollar bills; also includes some audio
clips and full motion videos.
(5) World Atlas MPC version 3.2 (Software Toolworks) Requires Windows; if you
have a sound card it plays the anthems of many countries.
(6) The CD-ROM of CD-ROMs - a Consumer's guide to available ROMs with
information on over 7000 CD-ROM titles and 5000 CD-ROM
companies. There's a bonus on this disc: Christmas Karaoke
(7) Animation Festival (Wizardware, 1994) Stereo sound, full motion video,
award winning animations, a multi-level 3-d virtual reality
game, and scenes from "Lawnmower Man" and "Steam" (Peter
Gabriel's hit music video).
(8) King's Quest V - (Sierra) The full retail version of the hit game (now
that KQ6 is available, you'll find this game selling alone
for $20-30).
(9) Stellar 7 - (Dynamix) A state-of-the-art "outer space shoot-em-up"; it
isn't my kind of entertainment, but I'm told it's great.
(10) Doom - This is the "registered" version of Episode 1 ONLY (the shareware
version is available on many local bulletin boards). This
disc is, for me, the most disappointing in the package, as it
contains less than 10 megabytes of data.....
All the titles ARE THE SAME AS THE RETAIL VERSIONS and, with the exception of
the one "sampler", not demos in any sense. They may not be the 1994 versions
but, for the money, they are a heck of a bargain.
My only gripe is the packaging. The sleeve is badly die-cut, and some of the
discs may be hard to remove without damaging them. The package comes with a
single sheet of documentation, and a single registration card, covering all
ten products. This is good news and bad news. You don't have to put stamps
on ten individual registration cards, but you also don't have individual
documentation sheets for any of the discs you don't want to keep for yourself.
Incidentally, I DO NOT SELL THESE.

Microcosm as a game sux. My friend was so appalleed he gave it away when he
sold his soundcard...so dont waste the moohlah on MCosm! Um, Wing Commander
deluxe...a bit old, but still a classic I gues. My thoughts would be to hang
on a little longer for some of the up and coming releases. L for Liberty,
looks awesome, Delta V also looks good!! There is a new game coming from the
Wing Commander team called....Pacific Strike. MAYBE WORTH A LOOK!
Yeah, the prices may be up ther though.....just dont get MCosm...yuck, blah
(all the game play of a wet hedgehog)!!!
See ya!
PS- if it makes you feel any better, I want yoiu to know that I am jealous that
ya have CD money to spend
Regards from Loverboy!

Brice, they were individual titles from the 5'10 pak. In U.S. $,

Subj: Pioneer 18 cd questions Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
-> I am seriously considering upgrading to the Pioneer 1804X. The
-> 1) Is there a sound card that is compatible with the Pioneer 1804X?
Any sound card will work in system with the SCSI Controller card needed to
drive the 1804X. To my knowledge, no sound card has the external port plug
(SCSI w/Termination power) needed to drive an external drive.
-> 2) What is the amount of memory needed to *power* this drive?
Just the normal amount required by MSCDEX, plus another 16K or so. You will
not be able to run two of the drives with MSCDEX, since you would run out of
drive letters and the second iteration of MSCDEX would error out on 'not enough
drive letters'. If you need to run more than one, you will have to run OPTISYS
drivers. These drivers use so much memory that you will need to use a network
and dedicate a 286 or something to controlling the drives. Incidentally,
OPTISYS drivers, which work fine on the DRM-6XX series are buggy on the
DRM-18XX drives. They're working on them.
-> 3) How much additional memory is needed to *power* the sound card?
I don't use *any* additional drivers - maybe a few bytes for a set statement.
If you are using the drive in a standard manner, it won't use any more memory
than a standard CD would.
-> 4) Is there a sound card that will also control other SCSI devices?
There are several, but I have yet to try one that wasn't a waste. None of them
(that I know of) are SCSI II, and the best one that I tried would NOT control a
hard drive - I suppose you COULD hang a ribbon cable out the back and get one
to work with the Pioneer IF it supplied termination power. My thinking is,
that if you are going to spend the extra money for SCSI, get a balls to the
wall SCSI controller - don't try to dig a moat with a teaspoon.
-> 5) Is MSCDEX.EXE (dated 09/30/93) the latest/best version?
Here I can't answer for sure, but the MSCDEX out of any DOS 6.2 pack should be
fine. A few months ago I noticed that the Microsoft BBS had MSCDEX online for
downloading. One might presume that they keep it updated...
-> 6) Any suggestions as to the best place to purchase this setup?
HA! Here's why I am spending so much time with you! I sell them - we have them
IN STOCK for $2250, plus $85 for an 8-bit Trantor SCSI controller or $135 for a
16-bit Future Domain. The SCSI cable is $24. Shipping runs $40 or so FEDEX COD.
You might be able to find them advertised (maybe even in this echo) for
slightly less... but ask them if they have them in stock... These are so hard
to get most vendors can't even promise you a delivery date. We are a stocking
vendor, which means that if you order it today, you'll have it tomorrow or the
day after.
-> Any help with any other these questions would sure be appreciated.
Well, you are obviously going to have to combine some functions in your system
if you want to have a sound card. I strongly suggest that the SCSI controller
is NOT the place to do this. I don't know what all you have in your system -
or what your primary use is, so you'll have to make that call. For sure
combine your IDE/Serial/Parallel. This is now available with Video for VESA
systems. If you have some internal modems, consider upgrading to externals
when you go to VFast.

Subj: 7th Guest fans!!! Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi! This is The KCMOSHer, sometimes called (on Prodigy, anyway) the
semi-official 7th Guest Minister of Propaganda. This is concerning the
upcoming sequel to The 7th Guest, The 11th Hour. I'll start by stating I'm
not an employee of anyone in the industry, just so no one thinks this message
has any ulterior motives.
For those of you who follow the world of The 7th Guest, you may have heard
that The 11th Hour (due June 30th) was going to be more "adult" in content,
featuring a more mature storyline, more violence/gore, foul language, and
maybe (this would be a first) nudity. (Video nudity, not "drawn") While
nudity was, as recently as April, still up in the air with the creators, the
other elements, and that this was to be an "R" rated game (much like Gabriel
Knight, Bloodnet, or the Larry series) were a given. It's now known that they
are going to release a "PG" version for the PC and MAC, and the "R" rated
version to the 3DO system. This, of course, raised my ire quite a bit. I'm
99% sure that this does NOT come from the creators, Trilobyte, but the
distributor, Virgin. Possibly due to pressure from some official source, such
as Janet Reno's censorship forces.
The point. I've started an electronic petition, of sorts, on the Prodigy
"CD-ROM Gaming" board, and I'm now attempting to gather support in other
venues as well. If you love The 7th Guest, and want the REAL, FULL version of
The 11th Hour, or at least the OPTION of buying it for the PC or MAC, join my
petition! Here's all I require: write me e-mail via the internet at
tpvt24a@prodigy.com, and state that you want to join the petition. Some sort
of electronic address (such as an Internet address, or an address at any
online service such as P*, AOL, CSERVE, etc.) would help, as it would help to
validate the petition in the eyes of Virgin. I plan on sending copies via
e-mail AND US Post to Virgin AND Trilobyte, to make our wishes clear. Thanks
for your time, and if you don't have a clue as to what I'm talking about, GO
BUY THE SEVENTH GUEST NOW!!!! :)

I have heard it might not be wise to put your sound card to your amp
because if your card is puttoing out 8 watts, it could be frying your
amp. Which would suck. But check to see if your card shuts off the
output if it detects it is going to an external amp. You know what im
saying? I'm gonna hook up my Infinity RS-10's to my computer which
should really kick ass. Then maybe a kick butt subwoofer. 170 watts RMS.

Well scan the Computer Shopper for a better deal, you might be able to
pass some savings on to your customers. I know I have bought some in the
past for $3 each.
Do you carry CDRom drives as well? I'm interested in the Panasonic 563-B

Let's see: The text below is the README.TXT of a CR562B baught yesterday.
By the way, There is a CDMKE44.SYS driver on the disc.
Software Installation
======================
After installing the hardware, the following files have to be installed in
order to make known to your system that you have a CDROM drive installed.
CDMKE44.SYS a low level device driver for the interface card
This devicedriver will detect and identify the CDROM
drive.
MSCDEX.EXE MicroSoft CD EXtensions to make DOS able to access the
CDROM Drive
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
MSCDEX Version 2.23
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The MSCDEX uses the following command line switches for line:
Switch Description
-------- -------------
/D:(device name) Tells MSCDEX.EXE where to find the device driver.
/E Tells MSCDEX.EXE to use expanded memory if your
system is using expanded memory.
/L:(drive letter) MSCDEX.EXE starts at the drive letter specified by
this switch.
/K Tells MSCDEX.EXE to use any Kanji (Japanese) file
structures, if present, rather than the default of
standard alphanumeric file structures.
/S Instructs MSCDEX.EXE to patch DOS to allow sharing
of CD-ROM drives on MS-NET based network servers.
/M:(value) Tells MSCDEX.EXE how much memory to allocate for
caching information on the CD-ROM.
/V Provides memory usage statistics, such as how much
memory is used by buffers, resident data, resident
code.
Example:
MSCDEX.EXE /D: /M:4 /L:E
where: /D:LASERWAV identifies the drive name as LASERWAV.
/M:4 Memory caching is set for 8 kilobytes.
/L:E the CD-ROM drive letter is E.
When these modifications are completed, it will be necessary
to reboot your system (by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del). This will
reconfigure your system based on the modified AUTOEXEC.BAT
and CONFIG.SYS files.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instalation procedure
---------------------
a) Turn your computer on
b) Insert the diskette in drive B: (ie: if your source drive is B)
c) Type B:
d) Type INSTALL
The batchfile INSTALL.BAT will copy all the files to a subdirectory \CDROMDRV
on the harddisk and modifies the config.sys and autoexec.bat files
In addition to copy all the system files for the CD-ROM drive, the INSTALL.BAT
also copy the files for the CDCACHE to a subdirectory \CDROMDRV\OPTI-CD.
Details of the OPTI-CD can be found in the READ.ME files
of the \CDROMDRV\OPTI-CD subdirectory.
After the installation has been completed, please reset computer for the
new drivers to take effect.
--------------------------------------------------------
Below a sample of what should be in the config.sys file
--------------------------------------------------------
lastdrive=z
device=c:\cdromdrv\cdmke44.sys /d:LASERWAV /N:1
/d:LASERWAV specifies the device name. This is default set to "LASERWAV"
Any name can be chosen as long as you choose the same in the
autoexec.bat file discussed later.
/N:(number) Number of drives.
If connected Drive is one, by setting of /N:1, the time of
Device Driver installation is ocasionally shortened in
comparision with no setting of /N: switch ( or /N:4).
Number to be set in 4 kinds (1,2,3,4). If setting number
is smaller than the number of connected and the others
(remained drives) cannot be connected.
If /n: switch is omitted, it shall become same as setting 4 as
maximum number of connectable Drives.
Example : For number of 4 drives; /N:4 or /N: or /N
For number of 1 drive ; /N:1
----------------------------------------------------------
Below a sample of what should be in the autoexec.bat file
----------------------------------------------------------
c:\cdromdrv\mscdex /d:LASERWAV /M:8 /V /E
/D:LASERWAV specifies the device name. This is default set to "LASERWAV"
Any name can be chosen as long as you choose the same in the
config.sys file as discussed earlier.
/M:8 specifies the number of buffers. default is 8 buffers
/L:x forces the cd-drive letter to drive x
if omitted, the first available drive will be selected
i.e. in a configuration of drive A,B and harddisk C: the
cdrom drive will be D:
/E Tell MSCDEX.EXE to use expanded memory if your system is using
expanded memory.
=================================
Additional information
=================================
If the CD-ROM drive is connected to a Sound Blaster Card, please modify the
Config.sys to as follow:
DEVICE = C:\CDROMDRV\CDMKE44.SYS /D:LASERWAV /SBP:220 /N:1

Actually I bought mine from the PX with the 16Bit Sound FX card. I got
the kit because my son Eric wanted my ol sound blaster pro deluxe.
I am still interested in putting 4 to 8 of those on my bbs, but nobody
has made me an offer I could'nt refuse yet. Also considering the
Pioneers 6PAK and 18PAK, once again nobody has made me an offer I
could'nt refuse :-))
I'm real concerned on the 18PAK though. Thats alot of money to throw
down on something as vast as 18CDROMs. If I junk all my ol sony CDROMs
and put it online and it breaks... I'm thru, so it may not be a very
wise decission. Thats why I need some backup in the way of the
Panasonics. If one goes down I'll still have the other three. And for
the costs I could order another immediately.
Once again thanks for your help

I don't recall doing anything special. I put a page in after returning
from each age. Are you sure you got a page from each of the four ages?
If you are on the last message from either of the books, you will be
told by Sirrus or Achenar that you need to get only one more page (red
or blue respectively). They will give you the pattern number to solve
the fireplace puzzle. They will tell you that you will also find a green
book but to not touch the book but only bring back the red or blue page.
Sound familiar? If not, then maybe you didn't get all the pages. If you
want me to give you the correct pattern number let me know.

Unsure on the true "floptical" drives (the ones that will take either a FLOPPY
or an OPTICAL cartrage) ... as far as I know, those pretty much vanished...
But MO (Magneto-Optical) drives are fantastic! Grab a Computer Shopper and
look at the MO drives that Insight (Hard Drives International) is selling ...
128 and 256 meg optical-cartrage drives... (maybe larger by now, not sure...)
I use an "Ocean 128" MO drive at work occasionally, and it's great for
storage, backup, or even constant use... MO drives are now as useful as Hard
Drives, with the exception that they're still lagging about 10-40 ms behind...
(access times for a medium-quality MO seem to be about 22-60ms...)... Another
big advantage is - on a network - you can set it up as \\MOE\\ and then you
just have to add \\LARRY\\ and \\CURLEY\\ and you'll be ready for some real
fun!!!
;-)
The big advantage, though, you're right, is that the "optical" media is much
more reliable... BUT -- I am wary of one thing... while your data SHOULD be
safe in case the drive ever "" crashes "" there is always the remote
possibilty that the drive will go BEZERK when it goes, and manage to erase
your data anyway... haven't heard of any research being done on this, so not
sure what precautions have been taken... But in general, MO drives are one of
the best ways to store things, and prices are dropping FAST!!!

Thanks for the hint again. I knew I was near the end. You're right, the
ending was pretty tame compared to the rest of the game. It seems that a lot
of designers run out of steam and ideas when they get to the end. It's almost

Anyhow, I have enjoyed most of the puzzles and did not need too much help, and
at least they hinted that a sequel will be coming!!!

Thanks for the hint. I finished the game. If I tell you how to find the third
book, the game will be pretty much over for you. Once you find all four pages,
for each of the brothers, they will tell you how to find the last page they
need. When you have followed their instructions, which are very clear, you
will find the third book.

I think that all the CDs he was listing are part of that new 5'10 pack that
sells for about $40US, that's why he could afford to sell them individually
for that amount. I've seen the same 10 CD package in computer stores here
in Canada for $59. The discs are all 2 or 3 year old discs. The thing that
caught my eye is that he listed King's Quest 5 and King's Quest 6 as CDs
that he was selling for $4.75, but only King's Quest 5 is part of the pack,
not KQ6.

click on any corner of the ouija board and you will see thumbnail size pictures
of every room in the house. Click on any one of them and you will

Would someone please write back and tell me if this code works. I haven't tried

Hello. Just put the battery into the orb and it will work again.
Also, do you have the bra box from Pugney's farm? If so, fill the
flask and\or the thermos with water, and go to the incinerator. Open
the large door to the incinerator and throw the bra ox into it. Then
close the large door and open the drawer. Inside you will see a hot
wire from the bras. Pour the water on the wire, and then take it.
Pick the lock to the general store.
Hope this helps.

Jerry,
All will let you to compile a list and then print labels, except the
American Business Phonebook. As for search criteria, here are some better
descriptions that hopefully will help.....
SELECTPHONE * The new 1994 release from the ProPhone people, now has
millions of updated and brand new listings, making it one of the most
current directories available. Every white page directory in the U.S.
is included! REVERSE search lets you select listings by name, area code,
zip code, phone number, address, city, state, business heading, or SIC
code. Over 80-million residential and business listings with complete
addresses that can also be downloaded for bulk mailings. Includes FREE
upgrade to next version! 4 CD's
DIRECTPHONE * 1994 release. Similar to SelectPhone, except searches can
be done by name or partial name only, and then "narrowed" to specific
streets, cities, area codes, zip codes, or states. All other functions
are the same. Includes FREE upgrade to next version!
FREEPHONE * 1994 release. Save money on telephone charges by using AT&T's
toll-free directory on CD. It gives you instant look-ups of all AT&T's
toll-free 800 numbers nationwide. How many times have you called a
company long-distance only to find out later they had an 800 number? End
your frustrations with this directory. Search by name, address, phone
number, business headings, or SIC codes. Includes FREE upgrade to next
version! 1 CD
PROPHONE BUSINESS * 1993 release. Inexpensive business directory on CD
allows multiple-field searches, and full download features. Complete
business names, addresses and phone numbers included.
AMERICAN BUSINESS PHONEBOOK * 1993/94 release. A telephone directory for
virtually every business in the U.S. and Canada. Complete data from 5000
yellow-page directories! Search by company name or phone number, across
the U.S. and Canada, or in a city, state, or zip code.
PHONEDISC USA RESIDENTIAL * 1994 release. The nation's white pages on
CD-ROM! Over 81-million total listings, with millions of updates from the
previous version. Not sure of the spelling of a name? Phonedisc's built-
in cross-reference suggest alternate spellings. Save listings to disk or
printer. Unlimited lookups. Built-in autodialer. Searches can be
narrowed to states, cities, streets, or area codes.
PHONEDISC USA BUSINESS * 1994 release. All the powerful features of the
residential version, with the ability to search businesses through SIC
codes and/or business types. Complete addresses with downloading features
for mailing lists too.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
At Starvector Software, we have made it our policy since 1987 to only
advertise titles which we actually have IN STOCK. There are many CD-ROM
distributors advertising "1000's of CD's", when in fact they only keep a
small percentage of that quantity on hand. This creates delays and
frustration for you, and is the primary reason we have always elected to
"stock what we sell". Like all businesses, items will occasionally sell
out, but our in-stock rate currently is around 96%, and we're striving to
improve on that. Call us! 485+ CD's READY TO SHIP TODAY at great prices.

Hi Brice,
BF> "New Basics Electronic Cookbook" has gotten generally good reviews from tho
Made a note about that one. Not that it matters this week because I'm
not doing much cooking.
Found an interesting CD called Home Design with 3D video clips and slide
shows of furniture. The drawing program isn't as detailed as a real CAD
program but I like the colored drag and drop furniture.
There is a Travel Planner (even has a video clip of Calgary) and
Astronomer program from the same company on CD.

would like to make mention that at any given time we have over 500, and
very often over 600, titles in stock. Our "Distribution Brokerage"
concept is designed to offer the greatest selection of titles from the
largest pool of publishers, distributors and dealers, at the most

The titles that we do not stock are available to us from our
distributors within 24 hours via Federal Express. This being the case,
nearly any title that a person would like to have from our vast
selection can be had in a timely fashion. This type of service is not
only expected by the consumer, but is also plain and simple good

It works better with a 2x cd-rom but I've seen it on a 1x Mitsumi and it was
acceptable.
It does run under Windows. When you play the "Scissors and Stones" game and win
a round you get one out of 4 women doing a strip-tease. The sounds are
appropriate music to the dancing.
I might consider Rebel Assault. I already have Myst.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I have a rather interesting problem. I just purchased an NEC Intersect CDROM
drive,model CDR-25J. It is actually made by Mediavision (i.e. ProAudio
spectrum manufacturer..model CDR-MV2) all nec did was put their name on it,
Anyway, I also have an ultrastor 14-f SCSI controller (ISA) with an external
SCSI-2 port (high density DB50). After trying everything from reconfiguring
the controller and the system to physically changing the slot the 14F is in
I cannot get the controller to recognize the cdrom. I continually get an error
#94 (the complete error returned by the controller is 94 00-00 00) indicating
an ' invalid SCSI phase change '. I have even tried an internal to external
cable and it didn't help matters any.
The hardware configuration is as follows:
386/40 (new bios installed 2 weeks ago)
Ultrastor 14F in BUS Mastering Mode (isa didn't work either)
SCSI ID 0 = CDC 150 Harddrive (LUN 0)
SCSI ID 1 = EMPTY
SCSI ID 2 = CDROM (LUN 0)
SCSI ID 3 thru 6 = EMPTY
SCSI ID 7 = HOST ADAPTER (LUN 0)
BIOS ADDRESS = CC00 DMA CHANNEL = 5 INTERRUPT = 11 PORT ADDRESS = 330H
I've had this cd now for three weeks and have yet to use it. I thought about
the possibility of it being a bad drive so I exchanged it with no luck. I
also tried 4 separate cables as this is an external unit. Any help would be
extremely appreciated. Please respond via mail or call me voice at
(404)292-6972 or if you are long distance you can page me at (404)245-0993
,though you must still dial a '1' but it will only take a few seconds,and I
can call you back on my dime. Thanks you very much for your time.

This simply is not true! I too was looking for *.mid files and contacted a
dealer through this echo. He stated whwt you are stating, tha "Encyclopedia of
Sound" contains *.mid files. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY MIDI FILES!!!!! It only
has *.wav and *.voc files The dealer would not accept a return since the

I was wondering if someone with an encyclopedia newer than 1992 could
look up Mike Tyson, the ex-boxing champ, and see what their encyclopedia

I have the Software Toolsworks Grolier 1992 MPC encyclopedia and it has
NO article on him at all. In fact NOTHING about boxing has been updated
since "1990", that I can find.
Now I'm also curious when the encyclopedias say "New updated version",
what is actually updated ? From the looks of it, nothing but the
opening intro sequences and more pictures. When something comes out
with a new version and says updated, I expect EVERYTHING to be updated.
I don't expect to find outdated 2-3 year old info.

Couldn't help noticing your predicament. I haven't actually passed the game,
but I think you may not have put all the pages in the book at once. Pages from
different worlds don't actually do different things, you just need one more to
get the message. You may have already realized this, though. If you only have
just one or two pages in there, my advice is to just find out the page number
for the fireplace. However, make sure you put some kind of notice above it so
that people who haven't gotten there yet don't find out.

it would be good to take it from someone who's played it.
THanks you!!

has screwed up my cd rom. My computer now acts as if it isnt there. How do i
make sure my computer knows its there? I reloaded the cd rom driver but that
didnt help.

I'm not sure if this will help you or not, but I had a similiar
problem when I added a Mitsumi CD to my system. The problem was my
power supply. Before the CD, I had an internal modem, a network
adapter, video, IDE I/O, SBPro and a SCSI card on the bus. Also
attached were a hard drive, both floppies, a 90M Insider Bernoulli and
my monitor plugged into the power supply. When I added the CD (w/
it's own interface), it would work for about ten minutes, then stop
working. I got it working when I yanked a few cards, the Bernoulli
and monitor. Now I'm using two power supplies on my system (not a
recommended course of action!) until I can get a 300W supply. My old
one was a 230W.
Try attaching as few devices as possible (one floppy, the HD, video
and of course, the CD) and see if it works. Be sure to remove the
power cables from the other devices.
Good luck....

Ok..... Here we go.... I'll include the whole thing just in case...
Go to the time machine room and get in. Enter any of the dates and watch
the box where the stars are. Jot down the star positions and look in the
book in the library. Try to match the constations with one of the pictures,
and then look at the picture below it. Copy that picture, then go outside,
and look at each of the pillars going down the path toward the clockhouse.
Once you see a picture that matches one you have, click on it to turn it
GREEN. After you have done this, look in the fountain at the ship. It should
be raised. If it is not raised, go back and recheck your work. If it is
raised, then go to the large ship over by the gears. Go into the ships
cabin, and use the book. That sould take you to the Stoneship Age.

Joe. I use a little program called LIGHTNING cd. and it improves my

with cdspeed v1.0 (that's all i got) i get a throughput of 457k on a

was always the same +/- 10k..

NO, IN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION the 3X'S are NOT worth the cost!
the 3XI AND THE 3XP (by computer shoppers tests) were OUTPERFORMED by
the REVEAL (a.k.a. mistumi, matsushita, panasonic, omni cd, and
beethoven) double speeds. considering that the 3x's are ~400.00 and
those 2x's are LESS than ~200.00 ..
also.. WHY SCSI? .. scsi is more expensive (card wise) and there is no
major performance gain from that of an AT-IDE..
also information that you may want to know is that pioneer is coming out
with an 8X that is based on AT-IDE and NOT! scsi..

I've got the 604X for $999 - You won't have any problems if you use my $135
16Bit SCSI controller and $24 cable. In fact, you just add a line to your
config.sys and one to your autoexec.bat and you are on the road!
You can have it TOMORROW by calling InfoQuest at 618-549-3414. FEDEX COD
shipping will run you $40 or so.

Most Blockbusters in the country (read: those in higher income areas) will
be renting CD ROMs within a year. Of course, the local Blockbuster people
didn't even know what I was talking about.
In any case, my local supermarket video department rents CD ROMS. It IS
legal. I don't think manufacturers are going to be too upset about it. It
gives customers a chance to evaluate software without risking a whole bunch of
cash. In any case, unlike videos, CD ROMS have a longer usage period than the
day or two the average video outfit offers. The user gets a taste, but can't
possibly consume the entire dish. This is IDEAL for the manufacturers. Unless
they offer substandard product.

Yes, you are NOT alone. When I'm looking for CD advertisements I

I woul, have, opted with the 4 units vice the one. Your point of having all

multi-node systems... I have a friend who has a six-pack on line.. It's great

Piece of cake to hook up - depending on your SCSI controller, of course. I use
2 of these machines with an Adaptec 2742. As long as you have an ASPI driver
for your SCSI controller, the supplied Pioneer software works fine. They are
lightening fast. Takes them about 5 seconds or so to switch disks and the
transfers after that are breathtaking. I "abuse" them by using them as BBS
drives on my multinode system. They are so quick (in combination with the
EZROM door I use for CD access) that no one is ever aware that the files aren't
loaded on the harddrive itself (they are copied prior to transfer). Anyway,
for what it's worth, I've had one of them for about 5 months and the other a
couple of weeks - no problems whatsoever. I bought my last one from Doug
Carpenter - except for hefty delay in expected shipment time (took about 5
weeks from order time to get here and expected 2 - 3 based upon what I was
told), he was very good. I'm overseas and he called me back on his dime to let
me know what my order status was. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again -
but I WOULD try to get a more realistic ship date <g>. Just leave a message to
him in this conf and I'm sure he'll respond.
LB> Hope some of you can help.
Hope I have,

Hello All!
I have 3 of the single speed IDE CD-ROMs. I'd like to put them all in the same
machine. I've mapped out the IRQ's and stuff. the question is with the
Software. In the Config.sys it looks like I have to load the Driver for each
CD-Rom, due to the memery addresses and IRQ's but do I have to load 3 copies
of MCDEX.exe. Are there particualar switches for that?
Thanks in advance.

satisfying game though. I liked it a lot.

Well, would you like me to tell you? I just found out and completed the game.
I don't want to just hand you the answer, so here's a clue: It's in the pages.
Someone will tell you what it is, you won't "see" it like the other solves.
Does that help you? Probably not. But I didn't want to ruin it for you. Good

Finished MYST this morning and somehow have to conclude that one of my save

pages, then got all the red ones in a separate game. In the rocket ship, set
the left lever 8 notes up, the next 20 up, the next 23 up, the next 13 up and
the one on the right 6 up. Then simply pull the lever and the notes will play
and if they match the piano ones you will gain access to the Selentic world.
This is very tricky and advise you make a save once activated.

You have to keep in mind that the age of marriage has been increasing
steadily, so I would suspect increasing numbers of married teenagers in
the past. Also, these statistics show rates of first birth, which is
far different from pregnancy rates, because of abortion!
So I would question those numbers.

Jeff,
Thanks, but do you have a suggestion for what I should do to get my 50pin down
to 25? Should I just leave out the odd # pins from the dual row header
connector and use the grounds from the even # pins if I do that does it matter
which grounds go to the 1,6,8,13,19 and 25 pins on the DB25?

Hello everybody,
I am having trouble to run a Mistumi LU005S under WfW 3.11. The problem is,
each time I use a large file, the CD-player pauses at random moments. This is
most notably with AVI files and Audio-CD's, since the audio and video
constantly breaks up. I know the Mitsumi is single-speed, but it has worked for
months without any problems.
The problem arose after I installed a networkcard, WfW 3.11 and 6.2, so I guess
one off these components is causing these malfunctions.
Thanks,

Other than MYST (which is absolutely incredible), CD-ROM Today! magazine
gave Lands of Lore a 5.0 (100%). It is a richly-detailed adventure/fantasy
game which is narrated by Patrick Stewart (captain Pickard (sp?) of Star Trek)
and other real actors. This is a full "talkie" version of the game. I saw
the diskette version of the game, and it was incredible all by itself. Check
out the current version of CD-ROM Today! for the review. The CD-ROM game

Hi Charles,
I really appreciate your time in answering so many of my

a deal together. Sure wish the mail wasn't so slow sometimes.

I've found that to be true. Though, I understand there is an

You've lost me <G>. 18 drive letters could be I--Z. Why would I
need a second MSCDEX? I currently have Drives A:, a 1.2 floppy,
Drive B:, a 1.4 floppy, Drives C: & D:, physical hard drives,
Drives E: & F:, doublespaced drives and Drive J:, a 128 optical.
My current CD Rom Drive is G:, but it would be gone as soon as
the Pioneer was installed. I shouldn't have a drive letter
problem, should I?
CS@9> There are several, but I have yet to try one that wasn't a waste.
CS@9> None of them (that I know of) are SCSI II, and the best one that I

The optical drive I have is SCSI II and I have a Future Domain
card, but NO external connector. Since I currently do not have
ANY available slots, (one will be freed when I get the Pioneer
and remove my current CD Drive) I was just in hopes that I could
also get a sound card with the new drive. May have to take a
hard look at what's in those slots and *toss* something else.
CS@9> HA! Here's why I am spending so much time with you! I sell them - we

Your prices are somewhat higher than I have seen. However, I
have NOT asked the question about whether they have any in stock
or not. So, who knows.
Thanks for all your information. You just may hear from me.

an Amber light will flash (seek operation). When the Amber light stays on data

Subj: Zork hint needed Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
RD: 1.)I've got an illumynite battery and figure that Tremblye needs it.
RD: But I haven't seen him since I left the lighthouse. I guess there
RD: must be a way to get back to give him his battery?
Well, since this is the easy one I will answer it first. The image of
tremble that you always see is in the object you hold in your inventory
called the orb. To put the battery in it, simply select the battery from
your inventory and then use it with the orb. You will then see the
standard interaction buttons (i.e. throw object, drop object, etc.) and one
of the options will be to put the battery in the orb. Tremble will the
sputter back to live with something about "...and thats the only way to get
out of there alive."
RD: 2.) There must be some very important items in the General store down
RD: in the GUE but I can't figure out how to get in.
This is a very in depth question because it requires multiple items. I
will give this answer to you in sections so that if you want to try to
figure out part of it on your own you can just use my first hint and if
that doesn't work go on to the second.
The smallest clue I can give you is have you tried to pick the lock on the
store?
If that's not enough read on.
1)It sounds like you haven't really explored all of the GUE that is
available to see. For example, have you crossed the bridge into New West
Shanbar? If not you will need to do so because there are many other places
to visit. If you have, you may recall seeing a place called Pugney's Ranch.
You may have even talked to Mr. Pugney. When talking to him, act
apologetic and he will give you permission to take the box of bras from his
front yard. (Be sure and get permission though or you will get an
unwelcomed visit from The Guardian). The box of bras is your first clue.
2)Take the box of bras to the incinerator and pull lever one to open the
top door. Throw the box of bras into the incinerator.
(Another hint follows: Be sure and close the door before continuing or the
incinerator will explode.)
Pull the second handle to open the second door, inside will be a piece of
glowing wire.
3) The wire is too hot to pick up so it must be cooled with a liquid. I
used water I had gotten from the river in West Shanbar. I put the water in
the silver flask I got when Booz fell down drunk.
(If you don't have the flask or the water you will need to get them. Go
back to the Mill in the GUE by facing the bridge to New West Shanbar and go
right. Then go out the door to the left inside the mill, this will take
you back topside. Get the flask and go back to where you are facing town.
Turn all the way around and then to the right you will see an arrow
pointing down, go under the bridge. If you haven't been here before, there
is something you should do but I won't tell you now. Fill the flask with
water and then go back to the GUE and pour the water on the wire. (Why
hasn't the wire cooled of by now? Don't know that's just the way the game
goes!)
4) Finally, go to the store and use the wire to pick the lock. This will
get you inside.
How did I figure all this out? I got a hint book because I couldn't stand
it anymore!!!! This is a pretty tough problem and hopefully it is the
worst of them all?!? Give me a yell if you get stuck again.
P.S.-One more hint: Be sure to read the slip on the door before picking the
lock, or you will get a visit from The Guardian.

Actually there were 4 files that did not come off the tape
backup when they were being restored at the press. This just
happens sometimes when restoring a tape backup. I gave them
the go ahead to press anyway since it would have held up the
publishing process for a week or two to do another backup or get
those 4 files to them on floppy. I figured if I sent the 4
files they probably wouldn't get put in the right place anyway.
Thanks for the plug.

BL>Couldn't help noticing your predicament. I haven't actually passed
Thanks for your message but I have already finished the game and was
replying to John Allison who was looking for some advice on finding the
right pattern for the fireplace puzzle. I agree with your comment about
not "giving away" the solution. If John wanted it I was planning on
"encoding" it somehow so that it would not be obvious to the casual
reader who might not want the answer. As you may have seen by now,
however, a couple of other people responded and gave John the answer.
Hope you enjoyed the game!

As far as I can tell, if you use the linking book to get back to the
library and you find the the two brothers books are gone - then the game
must be finished! I realize the ending is leaving room for a sequel
(which I hope they come out with) but I also agree that they could have
provided a more dramatic finish. Did enjoy playing the game though (even
though I admit I "cheated" in a couple of spots).

Well, in my own personal opinion, No, but some people love that type
of material for the "shock" value that it provides. For your own
information, the sale we were having on the version that did not
have the Sick graphics officially expired, but if you still want
to get it, I have instructed the phone personnel here to fill the order.
The price on that version was $19.95 plus $6.00 for 2-day shipping.

18 years of age.
What you need to do for verification of age is the following:
1.) If you call your order in and plan to use either a Visa or
MasterCard that is NOT in your name, then you must give us
the card holders name, their phone number, your name and
phone number, and you would need to fax or mail in a copy of
your driver's license before we could process the order.
If the card is in your name, no problem.
2.) If you wish to mail your order in, then I need a copy of your
driver's license.
3.) If you order via COD, then I will need either a fax (with the
same information as in #1) or a credit card number in your name.
Hope this helps, and hope to hearing from you soon!

Thanks for the hint again. I knew I was near the end. You're right, the
ending was pretty tame compared to the rest of the game. It seems that a lot
of designers run out of steam and ideas when they get to the end. It's almost
as if they say "let's get this over with", "we have worked on it long enough".
Anyhow, I have enjoyed most of the puzzles and did not need too much help, and
at least they hinted that a sequel will be coming!!!

Thanks for the hint. I finished the game. If I tell you how to find the third
book, the game will be pretty much over for you. Once you find all four pages,
for each of the brothers, they will tell you how to find the last page they
need. When you have followed their instructions, which are very clear, you
will find the third book.

I think that all the CDs he was listing are part of that new 5'10 pack that
sells for about $40US, that's why he could afford to sell them individually for
that amount. I've seen the same 10 CD package in computer stores here in
Canada for $59. The discs are all 2 or 3 year old discs. The thing that
caught my eye is that he listed King's Quest 5 and King's Quest 6 as CDs that
he was selling for $4.75, but only King's Quest 5 is part of the pack, not KQ6.

I unerstand tour problem. I have cd-rom too, and I have this problem
too. I never played Lands Of Lore, but I saw it. If you like a finest
3D pictures and you don't mind to thing I can recommend you to by The
7th Guest by Virgin Games. The graphics in this game is looks like
you're inside the game. It is the best of I saw anywhere!!! But this
game is NOT 'action' like DOOM but very interest and realistic (like a
movie). Try it.
Becides, if you want to know everythink about games, buy the PC Power
magazine or/and PC Rewiew. I (in Russia) thing that it is the best
information source about latest games.

I've solved this problem with my Panasonic CD-ROM and Gravis Ultrasound
sound card. Very important to know: is you Mitsumi drive internal or
external? If your CD-ROM drive is internal than look at the back side
of one. You'll see some connectors one of them should be named 'Audio
output' or something like this. Also look at your sound card. It has
one or two connectors named 'CD Audio connector' (this connector exist
even at simple Sound Galaxy cards). So, when you connect these
connectors by thin cable, which should be in you CD-ROM pack, you'll
hear any sound from sound card and audio CD.
Good luck!

Publish-It! 3.1 for Windows is pretty good... We've used it in our
graphics dept before switching to CorelDraw 3.0 (on CD) and QuarkXPress
(not on CD as yet). It gives you fair control over things like
kerning, letterspacing, hyphenation, colours, etc. And the price is
good at: $54.08 CDN from us + $3.50 S/H.
We've also got a great deal on CorelDraw 3.0 (OEM) for only $70. CDN
+$3.50 S/H.

Mike, appreciate you taking the time to gather the info for me. I have
uploaded a copy of this message to the CIS to get confirmation and to also find
out if there are any monthly limits to the amount of mailing lists I can
generate. I know that Phone Disk has , I believe, a 250 per month max of
printing out mailing labels. Just want to make sure Select Phone does not.
Once I get a response back from them and it confirms your info, I will place
my order to you for it. Incidently, the authors of both Pro-Cd and Phonedisk
are on CIS, but don't ususally post to individual users. I know, since I tried
to get the info from them. Hopefully, they will verify what I need this time
due to your message.....
Talk with you soon and thanks for not forgetting as I thought you had since
the message was about a month old that I sent..

Replayed the game from the start and finished it with no problems at all and
have concluded that somehow my original gamesaves were either corrupted or
confused. I was under the impression that save game was always MYST.MYS but
discovered on the replay this is not neccessarily so. If you make a save
under another name and continue to play, save game will save under that name.
Just wish the programmers had included a page count but from my perspective I
had saved 4 pages to each. It is obvious that a sequel is coming and I suspect
we will have to rescue Catherine.

Sounds like you need to check your autoexec.bat or config.system files -
too see where the driver is being loaded, and to be sure that the cd
address is still the same. Also be a good Idea to load as much of the
stuff into high memory as possible - many cd games require every other
bit of memory, only allowing enough free space for the driver and dos
kernel.

Rob, the 5 foot 10 pack is a complete bundle, which is packaged in one

the package and selling them off one at a time, sorry to say, but we
don't do that !

Subj: ST: 25th anniversary HINT NEEDED! Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi there!
I've just bought "Star Trek: 25th Anniversary" on CD-ROM. This version is fully
spoken with the voices of all the original crew-members. Neat!!
BUT...the last mission "Vengeance" seems to have been changed!! I checked the
other missions with a 'walkthrough' and everything is the same. But the last
mission is a lot longer now!! In the 'normal' version, there are two places
where you can go: the bridge and the sickbay. But I first get a screen of a
turbolift-panel and I can go to: bridge, auxiliary control, sick-bay,
engineering, transporter-room and weapons-bay.
The problem: I have done everything I could... Power is reastablished and my
shields are up. I have access to all rooms, EXCEPT WEAPONS-BAY. I've just been
hailed by an Elasi Frigate; I have 30 minutes to look up some data concerning
his comrades in prison. When I go to the transporterroom (where I've put a
portable energy-source to feed the transporter) Spock says that this is the
only way to the torpedo-bay; but I don't seem to get anywhere with that
transporter, while everything works just fine according to Spock...
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPP!!!!!
All hints are welcome!!
Thanks!!
jAn.

With many 3rd party memory managers, when you want to load te driver, there is
special syntax. For instance, wih 386max, before the driver you place
386load. I don't know the syntax for QMEMM, but since it has a prog that
optimizes setup for you, the best idea is to restore your setup files to how
you used EMM386 and let the optimizer make the changes. also, since a driver
cannot e loaded from DOS, loading it twice will not help. Also, EMM386 can
address as much memory as you have, so the problem seems like that the added
memory is not compatable. either you added 1x3's to your 1x9's, (or 1x2's
with what ever) some systems require all memory in the computer to be the
same. also, assuming your computer has more than 2 memory banks, if your
first 4meg are in bank 0, your 2nd 4meg must be in bank 1 or the memory will
not be recognised.

If you are using the MTMCDE.SYS driver in the config.sys file try this.
Change the /T:5 parameter to /T:S. This disables the DMA function which
is very buggy in the Mitsumi LU005S. You won't notice any speed decrease
but it should eleminate those long pauses. Let me know if it works for
you. Doug.

Well, the way you move the pieces is exactly like a bishop in chess...and you
can only place them in places where they are not "attackable" from your
opponent, and the solve is to switch the pieces to the other side...
A lot of trial and error at first, but the basic strategy is that when you move
a piece, there will be a space that it could have "attacked" before, which it
can't now, and that's where you have to make your next move with the opposing
piece....i have the complete solution if you need it..

you have to switch the pieces to opposite sides of the board...you can move
like a bishop in chess, but you can't place a piece where it can be attacked by
the other colour...the trick is that when you move one piece, there will be a

Are there any pages in channelwood? I only figured out how to get into the

Hi Vicki,
I can't tell you if you should buy the drive from Better Business Systems.
Other than a manufacturing delay (Pioneer's problem), I was pleased with the
vendors responsiveness and attempts at technical support. They are reputable.
The price, at that time, was very competitive. I have no complaints.
I would be happy to answer any questions you have regarding the 1804x, if I
have the answers :-). Worst case, I have the hotline number for a laser
specialist at Pioneer.
Holler at me anytime you like. Take Care.

LF>Anyone familiar with this disc?
Just bought last weekend. I am impressed!!! I am still just starting to
learn the use of the program
250,000 stars catalogued down to magnitude 12 - you can filter to the mag.
range that you want to display. Catalogue of about 40,000 deep sky
objects. All planets, known moons, 5000 asteriods and 100 short period
comets. Planet positions from 5000 BC to 10000 AD based on JPL's DE012
program which is generally good to a few arc seconds.
Excellent graphics for starmaps. Can put your frame of reference anywhere
on earth on in solar system. Several types of projection available on
starmaps. I get good printed star charts using my HP deskjet.
Outstanding planet details where available. Of lesser interest to me- lots
of photos and some movie clips.
I have had a little trouble displaying text in starmaps with my system.
Tech support is by Maxis - the SimCity folks!! and appears to be good.
For the money - 50 bucks at Egghead where I live - I think that the disk
is a good price. Now all I need is a computer with CD rom that I can pack
along with my scope when I take off for dark skies :)

I recently bought a Corel Photo-CD at a discounted price. It came in a nice
printed cardboard box, with manuals, etc., but the CD itself was simply
enclosed in a thin polyethylene bag. Is this the norm? Are CDs normally
packaged in jewel cases, like audio CDs, or are we left to fend for ourselves
figuring out how to keep them safe from scratches? If so, what's the best way
to do this?
Thanks for your help!

SWOTL is a fun game, however the CD Rom version is just a bundled
port-over from floppy that includes the expansion sets. I have the
floppy version and most of the expansion disks. It's not as authentic a
flight sim as Aces of the Pacific/Europe but it's pretty fun to play,
especially the campaign game. You can be in charge of the German war
machine or be the allies and plot where your airstrikes will be headed
each day. My favorite is flying the B17's and P38's. You can even fly
the Komet and other experimental jets that came out late in the war.

well it maybe cause by the optical lens being a little dirty and by ejecting it
you see the sony has a buildt in lens wiper and it may be clearing the lens

Cd-Rom drive for only $399 at the end of June. The drive will have the 600 kb

First it would help to know how much expanded memory you have on your system.
Try loading all of your drivers into high memory. You might want to make a
boot disk that will disconect the current memory configuration (especially if
you have a large amount reserved for windows), just Run Memmaker (please
remember to backup your autoexec.bat and config.sys files before you begin.)
Make sure that in your config.sys menu you specify which your last drive is
(probably D, but that depends on your system.).
Hopefully that works for you. If it doesn't lets talk further, but more info on
what type of system you are running would be helpful (RAM etc).
Hey it just came to me that if you have smartdrive running you may want to
disconect that on you boot disk.
Roast a few dino's for me!

A $3500+ CD Write Once drive and the special media such drives can write to.
A CD-ROM drive WILL NOT write to a disc.
Alternatively, you COULD go with a "full" CD-ROM pressing plant, last time I
asked the minimum investment was around $100,000....

NOT. RISC CPUs generally have most or all of their instructions hard-coded,
where all modern CISC CPUs use micro-coding. The last "CISC" CPU I can think of
that was all hard-coded was the MOS Technology 6502 (and most of it's 8-bit
derivatives) - which ran FASTER at 1 Mhz than a 4.77 Mhz 8088 for almost all
operations.

Yes, you should have received one diskette with Man Enough. It is an

I got Alchemi's Evaluation disk set direct from them for $10 which

with files dated 3-94 does a great job of viewing, converting and
resizing Kodac .spc files. They include a Windows Quickshow which
will run a slide show with interesting fades from one picture to
next of most formats including the Kodac photo format.
I run Windows in the 800x600 mode which is an odd matrix.
Converting bmp's to wallpaper usually gives one full picture with
three extra partial pieces tiled around it. WinGWS allowed me to
increase the size of the original to fit the full screen as
wallpaper.
These files should be on most BBS's and most currant ones are on CI$

Well, I for one would count CD game hints as part of the CD ROM

I also don't mind FOR SALE items except when they are a full page long
and there are multiple copies of the same ad. There is a CD ROM FOR SALE
echo also that is specifically for this type of thing.
I guess it's really up to the moderator to specify what the echo title

Your color flyer mentions a disc called CD-Stone, which is also being

I assume that Profit Press' mailings go out to thousands of names from
magazine mailing lists. Although the price of "T&A" is $14.95, there
is a $3.00 discount for mailing (or faxing) the order. That would make
the disc a dollar cheaper than your "BBS special".....
Incidentally, all the other "BBS specials" are the same price here as
they are on the flyer.

Return To Zork
Almost-Full-Point Solution
NOTE : At certain points in the solve I will tell you to use an item, and not
tell you to pick it up again, or just mention the existence of an item in a
certain room. Make sure you pick EVERYTHING up (with the exception of the
things I tell you NOT to pick up:)). Anything that you leave behind, you
should go back and get.
Hey. Well you're playing Return to Zork, and are stucker than stuck, and
need some help. Look no further, here's the solution to the game! I didn't
get all the points (only 218/225) but the end is there either way, and here's
how to get to it. I also believe there are a few parts of the game that are
just unsolveable (ie the oven, and anything relating to hellhounds).
You start off in a mountain pass. A quick thing to do is pick up the rock
from the lower left hand part of the screen and throw it at the vulture. Then
you might be tempted to get the bonding plant from down below. Don't. My
recommendation is to wait till later in the game to get the plant. So
instead, just mosey down the path to the lighthouse. Enter the lighthouse and
babble with the lighthouse keeper. He really doesn't have very much
interesting to say at this point, so what you say doesn't matter very much.
Next go outside the lighthouse again. Now if you head down the path, you'll
be at the road to the south, unsolveable, so instead, go around the back of
the lighthouse. From here, cut the vines from the fence, and bind the wood
panels together with the vines. Now you have a raft, use it to go one space
down the river, and get off at the bridge.
You are now in the town of West Shanbar, facing the town-proper. First
easy thing to do is go to the building on the far right, it's a destroyed
hardware store. Go in, and get the box and the crank. You don't need the
mice, so leave them there. Next stop should be the close house on the right,
the school house. To get in, bang the bell with the crank or the dagger. The
school teacher will first quiz you with the games first copy-protection, and
then give you a notebook in which you can record all of your travels in the
game. Next stop is the Town Hall, close building on the left, go in, talk to
the mayor, and whatever. Then read ALL the files in the cabinets. It's a lot
of reading, and you'll be referring back to it later on (and a lot of this
solve won't make any sense without reading it). Then after you leave Town
Hall, face center of town, and turn around from there, go off to the left of
the screen, towards the mill. Go into the mill, and you'll have your first
encounter with Boos. First of MANY. Go out the other door into the backyard
of his house, and grab the key from the floor, and pull the chock out of the
water wheel (I don't actually know what this accomplishes, but it gives you
two points, so what the heck:)). Go back through the house, and back to town,
where you can now go to the building on the far left. Use the key to unlock
the door. Go in, grab the battery off the shelves, and the money and tickets
out of the cash register. Then go back to facing the bridge, and on the far
right side of the screen, your mouse arrow will point down, go this way. Here
you will meet the waif. Give him the tickets, and he will give you a gift, it
looks like a piece of lint, but it's very important later in the game. From
here, go back the old mill, and do the following. When Boos pours you a
drink, pour the drink out into the plant, then make a toast with him (glasses
clinking icon) then drink the empty glass. Repeat this four times, and he
will pass out, opening up the Great Underground Empire. But wait, you're not
done yet. Leave the mill, and re-enter it, and repeat the entire
pour/toast/drink process again, but only three times this time, after he says
"Damn Few.", click on the "Don't Drink & Drive" icon, and he will give you his
car keys. OK, don't get too excited here, you can't drive his car, but you
can now enter the GUE. Before you leave this room, also be sure to grab the
flask off of the ground by his feet.
Go down the passage you just opened, and you will be at a door, open the
door with the car keys, and you are now in a new mill! Exit this mill, and
you are now within the GUE. Follow the path straight, into East Shanbar.
First building to enter is the second one on the left. Go into Moodock's
Armoury, and have a chat with him, then play a game of Survivor (he'll explain
the rules to you). It's also impossible for you to lose in this incarnation
of Survivor (you will play a much harder version later on), so just futz
around, and once you win he will give you a sword, and a coin (not a Zorkmid
though). Next, out of the building, turn around from the center of town, and
face the bridge. Cross the bridge, and go to the left. At the Fool's
Memorial, pick up the book off of the floor. From here, proceed down the left
path again, and follow it into Snoot's Farm. Enter through the window, as the
door is locked. Enter the door second from the left, and in that room will be
the lovely Rebecca Snoot, brushing her teeth. She'll knock you out for
breaking and entering, however. When you get up, talk to her and she'll quiz
you with the second and final copy-protection of the game. Once you're out of
that predicament, from the main room, go into the door on the right side of
the room, zoom in on the cabinet, and grab the mirror from the desk. Then
again, from the main room, go through the center archway, and in the kitchen
take the soap off the sink, the thermozz from the table, and open the
refridgerator and take the meat out. (The meat will rot, don't worry about
it, you want it to rot.) From there, put the soap in the sink, and run the
water on it, you will now have soapy water, wash the waif's gift in the soap,
and lo and behold, you have a piece of a mysterious disk. Neat. In the
kitchen is also an oven that blows up if you turn it on (Why it does this is
beyond me) and a box of cereal that you can't pick up. Again, from the main
room again, go into the door on the far left. In there is Alexis the
poodle/hellhound. Click on her and she will growl at you. Nothing else is
necessary from the dog, but her growling is necessary for you to win the game.
After you leave the building, on random occasions, Rebecca will come and meet
you out on the road. When you do see her, take her picture.
Next stop is the carrot silo. From the front of Rebecca's house, go up
and to the right, and you will be at the carrot silo. Take the crank, and put
it on the silo door, and crank it clockwise. The silo will explode and you
should take some of the carrots. From here, again go up and to the right, and
you will be at the Pugney farm. Go to the red house first, and DON'T take the
box off the ground. Go to the door, and open the window and talk to Pugney.
Be Apologetic, and he will let you take the box off the front lawn. Once you
finish with him, grab the box, and now go to the blue barn behind the red
house. Go inside with the cow, and take a clump of hay from the ground (left
bottom corner) pick it up, drop it again, and then take the matches and light
the hay on fire. Now warm your hands by the fire, and milk the cow with the
thermozz. Then feed the cow the carrots. Next stop, back to Rebecca's house,
and go into her kitchen (or bathroom) and fill the flask (not the thermozz)
with water. Now go back to East Shanbar and go to the last building on the
left. Pull lever 1 and the top of the incinerator will open. Throw the bra
box into the incinerator, and pull lever 1 again. Then pull lever 2, and
zoom in on the drawer. Pour the water from the flask onto the hot wire, and
pick the wire up.
Now take that wire, and enter the first building on the left (from the
center of town) and use the wire to pick the lock. Shake the cereal box.
Shake it again. Take the whistle. Next pick up the rats, and IMMEDIATELY put
them into the box you picked up earlier. (The meat you picked up, by now,
should have rotted away) Make SURE you put the rats into the box, or you
will die a quick death. Next up is go from the center of town, straight out,
to the fork in the road, pick the left one first. Pick the tiles up off the
floor, and then turn around, and pick the frame up off the floor. Drop the
tiles into the frame, and you have a lovely word puzzle. The solution to the
puzzle is "Water unseen at falls mix with bat dropping yields potion for", and
once you get that far, the last block will fall into place, "invisibility".
Now, in the same place, twirl around once more, and pick up the disk piece and
the two pieces of illuminyte off the floor. From here, go back to the center
of town, and enter the first building on the right (by this point most people
will be telling you that you stink). Buy a room from Molly Kettle, and go up
to your room in the elevator. Enter the room, and place the illuminyte rocks
onto the nightstand. Then zoom in on the monitor, and turn the radio on.
Then turn the lights off. You will have a dream about Morpheus, the head
bad-guy of the game. Next, get up, turn the lights back on, and take your
illuminyte back (make sure to turn the lights on first). Exit this building
now.
Now for the hard parts. There are now two mazes to deal with. One is
rather vicious, and one is just annoying because of what you have to do. The
first woods we will discuss is the Whispering Woods, the right fork in the
road from the path straight out of town. First things first, however. Go
back to the silo, grab more carrots. Go back to the cow, pour your thermozz
milk into the flask, and then milk the cow again (it must be done the same way
as earlier). Now go to the Whispering Woods. Once you enter, your vision

will start deteriorating. Once the comment reads "Can you see the Galactic
Milky-Way?", drink ALL the milk you have, it should say that your vision is
now good enough to break any spell. If it says this, and gives you five
points, your done. If not, repeat the same process over again (milking cow,
etc), and the second time it will give you the points (I had to do it twice).
Once this is accomplished, here is a map of the woods.

T TTTTT T T TTT T T=Tree or rock (wall essentially)
T T T T x=exit
T TTT TTT T TTT T
T T T T T
T TTT T TTT TTT T
T T T T T T T Whispering Woods
T TTT T T T T T T NOTE : Due to an annoying way that this game's
T T T T T T creators made the maps, I have to show one
T TTT TTT T T T T tree as two. So it is actually only six
T T T T T T T paces from the entrance straight south, not
TTTTTTTTTTTTTxTTT 12 as it may seem.
Ok, so my map-drawing facilities aren't first class. But you get the
picture. Once you get out of the maze, you may have noticed a whispering in
the woods (wow what a coincidence) it says "two rings begin, three rings
return" (or maybe it's vice-versa, anyway, that irrelevant). You will now be
standing at a dock with a bell. Ring it twice (or is it three? Again,
irrelevant, just ring it again if the ferryman doesn't come on two). Now the
ferryman will arrive with his hand extended. Show him the coin Moodock gave
you, and he will ferry you across the river. You are now on Canuk's Island.
Go to his house. At the door, you will see a magnet on top of the door.
We'll be getting that later:) Once inside, you will see a duck, a ship in a
bottle, a scroll, and blueprints. Take the scroll and read it to the duck.
Whammo, Canuk will appear. He will tell you some babble about the history of
Zork and whatnot. Show him the disk pieces. He will now transport you into
the ship in a bottle. Go into the bottle, and wander around. The time limit,
I don't think is enforced (if it's really 20 minutes, it's MUCH more than you
need). Get onto the ship, and go up the stairs, and you will see a number,
write it down. Now go back downstairs, and down the stairs again. Pick up
the rag off the cabinet, and zoom in on the safe. Enter the number you just
wrote down into the safe, and open it. Now take the disk piece and the rusty
metal thing out of it. Once you've done this, take your mirror, and put it in
your hand (ie your mouse cursor shows you holding it). Exit the boat. Canuk,
who you may have noticed by now, is controlled by Morpheus, will try to turn
you into a duck. But since you are holding the mirror, it will reflect back
at him. Now take the scroll, and feed it to the duck, he will lay an egg.
Take the egg, and exit the house. Now cut the egg open with your knife. And
you will have the scroll (I don't think this affects the gameplay, but it's
nice to have:)).
Next thing off, get back onto the boat (show the ferryman the coin again,
and of course ring the bell a few times to get him there) and find your way
back out of the forest. Now another quick thing to do is to go into town and
show the blacksmith (second building on the right) your rusty old sword. Get
him to fix the sword, and pay any fee he requests. He may tell you to come
back in a little while, just wander around until it is fixed.
Next thing is to go into the other forest, the left fork from the fork in
road from the path out of town. Once in, the first thing you should do is the
following, go NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, and you will be at a tree. Hit the
tree with your sword, and it'll break the sword (and also drop some coins on
the ground) take the coins. Now exit the forest again, via NORTH WEST WEST
SOUTH, and go to the blacksmith. Complain to him that your sword is broken.
He will mumble something, and give you a receipt for a new sword. Now go to
the center of town again, and turn around, to face the bridge, go to the left,
and you will be at Ben's boathouse. Talk to Ben. Ask him about the knot he's
holding in his hand. Show him the picture of Rebecca if you've taken it buy
now, and he will give you a sealed letter (if you don't have the picture yet,
no rush, don't worry) and finally, give him the receipt from the blacksmith,
and he will give you the True Dwarven Sword of Zork. How nice. Now back to
the forest (on the fork left). This a pretty vicious forest and has lots of
nasty things in it, and is rather big, as well, here again is another attempt
at mapping it:)

TTTTTTTTTTTTT+TTT\TTT
The metallic tree has already been explained. To get past the bowman, you
must make sure to have some milk in your containers. Just give him the milk
and he will go away, and leave his bow and arrows. Take them. Next go to the
Grue/Fairy area. It will say "It's dark, just like Grues like it." Light a
match (the same way you would use your inventory anywhere else), and the fairy
you just rescued will talk to you, be real friendly with her, and she'll give
you fairy dust (you might have to talk to her once or twice to get the dust
from her). Next stop, the tree spirit. Get her to babble her annoying songs.
She really isn't very useful at all. So just get out of there when you get
bored. Now the leaf trap. When you see the leaves, drop something in it (not
your sword) the trap will be sprung. Now just use your sword to cut your
leaves, and whatever you threw in will fall to the ground, just pick it up.
Now go to the boar memorial. Strike the memorial thrice (three times) with
your sword, and you will get another disk piece. You can go to the spider,
but you can't get past it yet anyway, so why bother, get out of this maze.
Next stop, get your bootie back to Canuk's House (go through the
whispering woods again). Now at his door, look at the magnet. Neat, eh? Pry
it off with you sword. Now stand there, holding the magnet. Use magnet with
whistle. Blow away on the whistle, and a vulture will come swooping down. Uh
oh! Not at all, this vulture will carry you to anywhere that you need to go
in the game! So just go to Pugney's Farm first, go to the barn again, (now
might not be a bad time to fill up on milk), and go to the left behind the
barn. You will be at the Vulture Pits. Pour the fairy dust onto the rotting
meat, and throw it. The vultures will come out and eat the meat and fall
asleep. Go into the pits and take the talon. Next, run over to the screen
one screen in front of Rebecca's house (it has signs to the cliffs and
Rebecca's house). Go to the left, and follow that path to the Cliffs of
Depression. Take the rope from the railing. Now go back into town, and go
back to Ben the boatman. Pay him for the boat. Zoom in on the boat, and take
the rats out of the box and put them into the motor. Now you will be at the
Witch's house. Go on inside, she won't bite. Ok, be careful what expressions
you show to the witch, just be friendly. Then show her the milk that you have
and she will let you take the bat cage, do so. Then show her the sealed
letter from Ben, and she will give you staff, take it. Then she's outta
there. Now you can either go through the swamp, or use the vulture to get
out. I recommend going through the swamp, you get 5 points for it. To do so,
you must walk one step out of the witch's house. Then take her staff, and
place it on the ground in front of you, if it falls in, it is not safe to walk
there, if it stands on it, you can proceed. I can't map that, as the swamp is
different for each person, and possibly each time. Just get out, its usually
not more than 7 or 8 steps. Once out of the swamp, first stop is going to be
west shanbar, that's on the above ground level of the map. Go first to the
mayor, and show him the Zorkian book (you got it from the Fool's Memorial),
he will translate a joke for you. Now go to Ms. Peepers (the schoolhouse) and
show her the book, she will tell you that Rebecca can translate it. Next stop
is back down below. Wander around until Rebecca shows up, and play her the
quote from Ms. Peepers about her being able to translate it, then show her the
book. Next off, go back to Witch Ita, and show her the book (if she's not
there, just wander around until she shows up again), and she will translate
one more joke. Then go to the blacksmith, and pay his fee, and he will

Pass, where you start the game) (remember just click anywhere on the map
now, and the vulture will bring you there). Click on the sign, and use the
knife to dig up the bonding plant. Now go back to the Cliffs of Depression.
Tie the rope to the tree, and climb down the side of the cliff and go into the
Comedy Club. Now playback the four jokes that the people just told you to
the audience. When you are done, Cliff will give you a disk piece. Now go to
the lighthouse. Give the keeper a piece of illuminyte, and show him your disk
pieces, he will give you the final piece. Go up to the top of the lighthouse
and tie the rope onto the railing using the cow-knot that Ben taught you.
Then tie the vulture talon onto the rope, and throw the rope across the river.
The talon will boomerang back and tie itself around the railing, and you will
have a nice rope bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the path to the Temple
Bel Naire. Take the shield from the statue, and go into the Temple. Show the
Holy Woman your sword and she will bless it for you. Now exit the Temple, and
turn around once. There will be a gateway in the right side of the screen,
follow that path to the dwarf camp. Talk to the Dwarven dudes, and they will
give you a hardhat. Take it. Then go up to the top left part of the screen
and go to the mining cart. Now this is very annoying. The path you must
follow to escape the mining maze is the following, where L is Left, R is
Right, and S is Straight. Make sure to only click once at each intersection,
as the dumb game buffers your mouse clicks and it will screw you up
occasionally. The path is L R S R L R S R L L R S. (By the way that puzzle
is easy, just write down each word the dwarves say to each other that is Left,
Right or Straight). Once out, you will be at the temple of the muses. From
left to right, but the following items on each of the statues :
1) Staff
2) Talon
3) Thermozz
Center) Nothing
4) Helmet AND Box
5) Shield
6) Tele-Orb
Then place the disk pieces on the bowl in front, and hit a button (green I
think I hit, I don't think it matters) watch the ensuing stupidity, and they
will reassemble your disk into a whole again. The center statue is different,
he is not a muse, but the "Catcher" (detailed in the Mayor's filing cabinets).
Make sure to pick up all the items once you are done. Now take the vulture
down to the Hero's Memorial. Take the right fork in the road, and go into the
Troll Cave. Put your helmet on and all will be lit up. At the first troll,
swing left, the next, swing up, the third, swing down. Then at the troll
king, click on "Threatening" until he wimps out and gives you the necklace.
Now go back to the green forest, and find your way to the spider. Show the
spider the necklace, and he will wimp out. Then go up Flood Control Damn #3
(!), and fill up your flask from the "backside of the water". Now go to the
whispering woods, and go one space in, and release the bats. Pick up the bat
guano, and drop it into the flask with the clear water (from FCD#3). You now
have an invisibility potion. Now off to the Cliffs of Depression. From
there, turn around and go to the left. Throw the Flying Disk of Frobozz, and
it will dispel the illusion.
Go forward into the castle, and shoot the bow and arrow at the gates, and
the hand will open the door for you. Once in, an orc will start attacking
you. Drink the invisibility potion, and then play back the recording of
Alexis the hellhound barking, the orc will wimp out and run away. Now, at the
Citadel Bridge, throw *EVERYTHING* that you have at the bridge, until you have
NOTHING left in your inventory. The bridge will come back up. SAVE THE GAME
NOW:) Go over the bridge for your final confrontation with Morpheus. A game
of Survivor. Only now you play Trembyle instead of Canuk, which makes the
game VERY hard. Here is the pattern to win, the number represents what order
you should make the moves in. If he blocks the move, pass your turn, and he
will move to another space, do NOT deviate from the course I give here, or you
will have to forfeit and will have to start over again.
0 5 12 9 0=Where you start
11 8 1 4 14=Where you will end
6 3 10 13 C=Where Canuk/Morpheus will die
C 14 7 2
Again, if he blocks your move, do NOT go anywhere else, just pass your turn,
he MUST move, he is not allowed to pass. Once you complete this, you've
won the game! Congratulations.
The ending of the game is kinda bad, but the game itself is pretty good, I
enjoyed it a lot. Some of the puzzles (the bra box) were ridiculous, and some
of the scenes (the Mining Maze, COME ON! Infocom games are NOT coordination
games) really annoyed me, but all in all it was a pretty good game. I don't
know where to find the remaining 7 points, but obviously it isn't very
important. Till next time, seeya!

MS>so confusing! Signed Temporarily insane ZORK failure!
Return To Zork
Almost-Full-Point Solution
NOTE : At certain points in the solve I will tell you to use an item, and not
tell you to pick it up again, or just mention the existence of an item in a
certain room. Make sure you pick EVERYTHING up (with the exception of the
things I tell you NOT to pick up:)). Anything that you leave behind, you
should go back and get.
Hey. Well you're playing Return to Zork, and are stucker than stuck, and
need some help. Look no further, here's the solution to the game! I didn't
get all the points (only 218/225) but the end is there either way, and here's
how to get to it. I also believe there are a few parts of the game that are
just unsolveable (ie the oven, and anything relating to hellhounds).
You start off in a mountain pass. A quick thing to do is pick up the rock
from the lower left hand part of the screen and throw it at the vulture. Then
you might be tempted to get the bonding plant from down below. Don't. My
recommendation is to wait till later in the game to get the plant. So
instead, just mosey down the path to the lighthouse. Enter the lighthouse and
babble with the lighthouse keeper. He really doesn't have very much
interesting to say at this point, so what you say doesn't matter very much.
Next go outside the lighthouse again. Now if you head down the path, you'll
be at the road to the south, unsolveable, so instead, go around the back of
the lighthouse. From here, cut the vines from the fence, and bind the wood
panels together with the vines. Now you have a raft, use it to go one space
down the river, and get off at the bridge.
You are now in the town of West Shanbar, facing the town-proper. First
easy thing to do is go to the building on the far right, it's a destroyed
hardware store. Go in, and get the box and the crank. You don't need the
mice, so leave them there. Next stop should be the close house on the right,
the school house. To get in, bang the bell with the crank or the dagger. The
school teacher will first quiz you with the games first copy-protection, and
then give you a notebook in which you can record all of your travels in the
game. Next stop is the Town Hall, close building on the left, go in, talk to
the mayor, and whatever. Then read ALL the files in the cabinets. It's a lot
of reading, and you'll be referring back to it later on (and a lot of this
solve won't make any sense without reading it). Then after you leave Town
Hall, face center of town, and turn around from there, go off to the left of
the screen, towards the mill. Go into the mill, and you'll have your first
encounter with Boos. First of MANY. Go out the other door into the backyard
of his house, and grab the key from the floor, and pull the chock out of the
water wheel (I don't actually know what this accomplishes, but it gives you
two points, so what the heck:)). Go back through the house, and back to town,
where you can now go to the building on the far left. Use the key to unlock
the door. Go in, grab the battery off the shelves, and the money and tickets
out of the cash register. Then go back to facing the bridge, and on the far
right side of the screen, your mouse arrow will point down, go this way. Here
you will meet the waif. Give him the tickets, and he will give you a gift, it
looks like a piece of lint, but it's very important later in the game. From
here, go back the old mill, and do the following. When Boos pours you a
drink, pour the drink out into the plant, then make a toast with him (glasses
clinking icon) then drink the empty glass. Repeat this four times, and he
will pass out, opening up the Great Underground Empire. But wait, you're not
done yet. Leave the mill, and re-enter it, and repeat the entire
pour/toast/drink process again, but only three times this time, after he says
"Damn Few.", click on the "Don't Drink & Drive" icon, and he will give you his
car keys. OK, don't get too excited here, you can't drive his car, but you
can now enter the GUE. Before you leave this room, also be sure to grab the
flask off of the ground by his feet.
Go down the passage you just opened, and you will be at a door, open the
door with the car keys, and you are now in a new mill! Exit this mill, and
you are now within the GUE. Follow the path straight, into East Shanbar.
First building to enter is the second one on the left. Go into Moodock's
Armoury, and have a chat with him, then play a game of Survivor (he'll explain
the rules to you). It's also impossible for you to lose in this incarnation
of Survivor (you will play a much harder version later on), so just futz
around, and once you win he will give you a sword, and a coin (not a Zorkmid
though). Next, out of the building, turn around from the center of town, and
face the bridge. Cross the bridge, and go to the left. At the Fool's
Memorial, pick up the book off of the floor. From here, proceed down the left
path again, and follow it into Snoot's Farm. Enter through the window, as the
door is locked. Enter the door second from the left, and in that room will be
the lovely Rebecca Snoot, brushing her teeth. She'll knock you out for
breaking and entering, however. When you get up, talk to her and she'll quiz
you with the second and final copy-protection of the game. Once you're out of
that predicament, from the main room, go into the door on the right side of
the room, zoom in on the cabinet, and grab the mirror from the desk. Then
again, from the main room, go through the center archway, and in the kitchen
take the soap off the sink, the thermozz from the table, and open the
refridgerator and take the meat out. (The meat will rot, don't worry about
it, you want it to rot.) From there, put the soap in the sink, and run the
water on it, you will now have soapy water, wash the waif's gift in the soap,
and lo and behold, you have a piece of a mysterious disk. Neat. In the
kitchen is also an oven that blows up if you turn it on (Why it does this is
beyond me) and a box of cereal that you can't pick up. Again, from the main
room again, go into the door on the far left. In there is Alexis the
poodle/hellhound. Click on her and she will growl at you. Nothing else is
necessary from the dog, but her growling is necessary for you to win the game.
After you leave the building, on random occasions, Rebecca will come and meet
you out on the road. When you do see her, take her picture.
Next stop is the carrot silo. From the front of Rebecca's house, go up
and to the right, and you will be at the carrot silo. Take the crank, and put
it on the silo door, and crank it clockwise. The silo will explode and you
should take some of the carrots. From here, again go up and to the right, and
you will be at the Pugney farm. Go to the red house first, and DON'T take the
box off the ground. Go to the door, and open the window and talk to Pugney.
Be Apologetic, and he will let you take the box off the front lawn. Once you
finish with him, grab the box, and now go to the blue barn behind the red
house. Go inside with the cow, and take a clump of hay from the ground (left
bottom corner) pick it up, drop it again, and then take the matches and light
the hay on fire. Now warm your hands by the fire, and milk the cow with the
thermozz. Then feed the cow the carrots. Next stop, back to Rebecca's house,
and go into her kitchen (or bathroom) and fill the flask (not the thermozz)
with water. Now go back to East Shanbar and go to the last building on the
left. Pull lever 1 and the top of the incinerator will open. Throw the bra
box into the incinerator, and pull lever 1 again. Then pull lever 2, and
zoom in on the drawer. Pour the water from the flask onto the hot wire, and
pick the wire up.
Now take that wire, and enter the first building on the left (from the
center of town) and use the wire to pick the lock. Shake the cereal box.
Shake it again. Take the whistle. Next pick up the rats, and IMMEDIATELY put
them into the box you picked up earlier. (The meat you picked up, by now,
should have rotted away) Make SURE you put the rats into the box, or you
will die a quick death. Next up is go from the center of town, straight out,
to the fork in the road, pick the left one first. Pick the tiles up off the
floor, and then turn around, and pick the frame up off the floor. Drop the
tiles into the frame, and you have a lovely word puzzle. The solution to the
puzzle is "Water unseen at falls mix with bat dropping yields potion for", and
once you get that far, the last block will fall into place, "invisibility".
Now, in the same place, twirl around once more, and pick up the disk piece and
the two pieces of illuminyte off the floor. From here, go back to the center
of town, and enter the first building on the right (by this point most people
will be telling you that you stink). Buy a room from Molly Kettle, and go up
to your room in the elevator. Enter the room, and place the illuminyte rocks
onto the nightstand. Then zoom in on the monitor, and turn the radio on.
Then turn the lights off. You will have a dream about Morpheus, the head
bad-guy of the game. Next, get up, turn the lights back on, and take your
illuminyte back (make sure to turn the lights on first). Exit this building
now.
Now for the hard parts. There are now two mazes to deal with. One is
rather vicious, and one is just annoying because of what you have to do. The
first woods we will discuss is the Whispering Woods, the right fork in the
road from the path straight out of town. First things first, however. Go
back to the silo, grab more carrots. Go back to the cow, pour your thermozz
milk into the flask, and then milk the cow again (it must be done the same way
as earlier). Now go to the Whispering Woods. Once you enter, your vision
will start deteriorating. Once the comment reads "Can you see the Galactic
Milky-Way?", drink ALL the milk you have, it should say that your vision is
now good enough to break any spell. If it says this, and gives you five

T TTT T T T T T T NOTE : Due to an annoying way that this game's
T T T T T T creators made the maps, I have to show one
T TTT TTT T T T T tree as two. So it is actually only six
T T T T T T T paces from the entrance straight south, not
TTTTTTTTTTTTTxTTT 12 as it may seem.
Ok, so my map-drawing facilities aren't first class. But you get the
picture. Once you get out of the maze, you may have noticed a whispering in
the woods (wow what a coincidence) it says "two rings begin, three rings
return" (or maybe it's vice-versa, anyway, that irrelevant). You will now be
standing at a dock with a bell. Ring it twice (or is it three? Again,
irrelevant, just ring it again if the ferryman doesn't come on two). Now the
ferryman will arrive with his hand extended. Show him the coin Moodock gave
you, and he will ferry you across the river. You are now on Canuk's Island.
Go to his house. At the door, you will see a magnet on top of the door.
We'll be getting that later:) Once inside, you will see a duck, a ship in a
bottle, a scroll, and blueprints. Take the scroll and read it to the duck.
Whammo, Canuk will appear. He will tell you some babble about the history of
Zork and whatnot. Show him the disk pieces. He will now transport you into
the ship in a bottle. Go into the bottle, and wander around. The time limit,
I don't think is enforced (if it's really 20 minutes, it's MUCH more than you
need). Get onto the ship, and go up the stairs, and you will see a number,
write it down. Now go back downstairs, and down the stairs again. Pick up
the rag off the cabinet, and zoom in on the safe. Enter the number you just
wrote down into the safe, and open it. Now take the disk piece and the rusty
metal thing out of it. Once you've done this, take your mirror, and put it in
your hand (ie your mouse cursor shows you holding it). Exit the boat. Canuk,
who you may have noticed by now, is controlled by Morpheus, will try to turn
you into a duck. But since you are holding the mirror, it will reflect back
at him. Now take the scroll, and feed it to the duck, he will lay an egg.
Take the egg, and exit the house. Now cut the egg open with your knife. And
you will have the scroll (I don't think this affects the gameplay, but it's
nice to have:)).
Next thing off, get back onto the boat (show the ferryman the coin again,
and of course ring the bell a few times to get him there) and find your way
back out of the forest. Now another quick thing to do is to go into town and
show the blacksmith (second building on the right) your rusty old sword. Get
him to fix the sword, and pay any fee he requests. He may tell you to come
back in a little while, just wander around until it is fixed.
Next thing is to go into the other forest, the left fork from the fork in
road from the path out of town. Once in, the first thing you should do is the
following, go NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, and you will be at a tree. Hit the
tree with your sword, and it'll break the sword (and also drop some coins on
the ground) take the coins. Now exit the forest again, via NORTH WEST WEST
SOUTH, and go to the blacksmith. Complain to him that your sword is broken.
He will mumble something, and give you a receipt for a new sword. Now go to
the center of town again, and turn around, to face the bridge, go to the left,
and you will be at Ben's boathouse. Talk to Ben. Ask him about the knot he's
holding in his hand. Show him the picture of Rebecca if you've taken it buy
now, and he will give you a sealed letter (if you don't have the picture yet,
no rush, don't worry) and finally, give him the receipt from the blacksmith,
and he will give you the True Dwarven Sword of Zork. How nice. Now back to
the forest (on the fork left). This a pretty vicious forest and has lots of
nasty things in it, and is rather big, as well, here again is another attempt
at mapping it:)

The metallic tree has already been explained. To get past the bowman, you
must make sure to have some milk in your containers. Just give him the milk
and he will go away, and leave his bow and arrows. Take them. Next go to the
Grue/Fairy area. It will say "It's dark, just like Grues like it." Light a
match (the same way you would use your inventory anywhere else), and the fairy
you just rescued will talk to you, be real friendly with her, and she'll give
you fairy dust (you might have to talk to her once or twice to get the dust
from her). Next stop, the tree spirit. Get her to babble her annoying songs.
She really isn't very useful at all. So just get out of there when you get
bored. Now the leaf trap. When you see the leaves, drop something in it (not
your sword) the trap will be sprung. Now just use your sword to cut your
leaves, and whatever you threw in will fall to the ground, just pick it up.
Now go to the boar memorial. Strike the memorial thrice (three times) with
your sword, and you will get another disk piece. You can go to the spider,
but you can't get past it yet anyway, so why bother, get out of this maze.
Next stop, get your bootie back to Canuk's House (go through the
whispering woods again). Now at his door, look at the magnet. Neat, eh? Pry
it off with you sword. Now stand there, holding the magnet. Use magnet with
whistle. Blow away on the whistle, and a vulture will come swooping down. Uh
oh! Not at all, this vulture will carry you to anywhere that you need to go
in the game! So just go to Pugney's Farm first, go to the barn again, (now
might not be a bad time to fill up on milk), and go to the left behind the
barn. You will be at the Vulture Pits. Pour the fairy dust onto the rotting
meat, and throw it. The vultures will come out and eat the meat and fall
asleep. Go into the pits and take the talon. Next, run over to the screen
one screen in front of Rebecca's house (it has signs to the cliffs and
Rebecca's house). Go to the left, and follow that path to the Cliffs of
Depression. Take the rope from the railing. Now go back into town, and go
back to Ben the boatman. Pay him for the boat. Zoom in on the boat, and take
the rats out of the box and put them into the motor. Now you will be at the
Witch's house. Go on inside, she won't bite. Ok, be careful what expressions
you show to the witch, just be friendly. Then show her the milk that you have
and she will let you take the bat cage, do so. Then show her the sealed
letter from Ben, and she will give you staff, take it. Then she's outta
there. Now you can either go through the swamp, or use the vulture to get
out. I recommend going through the swamp, you get 5 points for it. To do so,
you must walk one step out of the witch's house. Then take her staff, and
place it on the ground in front of you, if it falls in, it is not safe to walk
there, if it stands on it, you can proceed. I can't map that, as the swamp is
different for each person, and possibly each time. Just get out, its usually
not more than 7 or 8 steps. Once out of the swamp, first stop is going to be
west shanbar, that's on the above ground level of the map. Go first to the
mayor, and show him the Zorkian book (you got it from the Fool's Memorial),
he will translate a joke for you. Now go to Ms. Peepers (the schoolhouse) and
show her the book, she will tell you that Rebecca can translate it. Next stop
is back down below. Wander around until Rebecca shows up, and play her the
quote from Ms. Peepers about her being able to translate it, then show her the
book. Next off, go back to Witch Ita, and show her the book (if she's not
there, just wander around until she shows up again), and she will translate
one more joke. Then go to the blacksmith, and pay his fee, and he will
translate the last joke. Now go back to the Valley of the Vultures (Mountain
Pass, where you start the game) (remember just click anywhere on the map
now, and the vulture will bring you there). Click on the sign, and use the

Tie the rope to the tree, and climb down the side of the cliff and go into the
Comedy Club. Now playback the four jokes that the people just told you to
the audience. When you are done, Cliff will give you a disk piece. Now go to
the lighthouse. Give the keeper a piece of illuminyte, and show him your disk
pieces, he will give you the final piece. Go up to the top of the lighthouse
and tie the rope onto the railing using the cow-knot that Ben taught you.
Then tie the vulture talon onto the rope, and throw the rope across the river.
The talon will boomerang back and tie itself around the railing, and you will
have a nice rope bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the path to the Temple
Bel Naire. Take the shield from the statue, and go into the Temple. Show the
Holy Woman your sword and she will bless it for you. Now exit the Temple, and
turn around once. There will be a gateway in the right side of the screen,
follow that path to the dwarf camp. Talk to the Dwarven dudes, and they will
give you a hardhat. Take it. Then go up to the top left part of the screen
and go to the mining cart. Now this is very annoying. The path you must
follow to escape the mining maze is the following, where L is Left, R is
Right, and S is Straight. Make sure to only click once at each intersection,
as the dumb game buffers your mouse clicks and it will screw you up
occasionally. The path is L R S R L R S R L L R S. (By the way that puzzle
is easy, just write down each word the dwarves say to each other that is Left,
Right or Straight). Once out, you will be at the temple of the muses. From
left to right, but the following items on each of the statues :
1) Staff
2) Talon
3) Thermozz
Center) Nothing
4) Helmet AND Box
5) Shield
6) Tele-Orb
Then place the disk pieces on the bowl in front, and hit a button (green I
think I hit, I don't think it matters) watch the ensuing stupidity, and they
will reassemble your disk into a whole again. The center statue is different,
he is not a muse, but the "Catcher" (detailed in the Mayor's filing cabinets).
Make sure to pick up all the items once you are done. Now take the vulture
down to the Hero's Memorial. Take the right fork in the road, and go into the
Troll Cave. Put your helmet on and all will be lit up. At the first troll,
swing left, the next, swing up, the third, swing down. Then at the troll
king, click on "Threatening" until he wimps out and gives you the necklace.
Now go back to the green forest, and find your way to the spider. Show the
spider the necklace, and he will wimp out. Then go up Flood Control Damn #3
(!), and fill up your flask from the "backside of the water". Now go to the
whispering woods, and go one space in, and release the bats. Pick up the bat
guano, and drop it into the flask with the clear water (from FCD#3). You now
have an invisibility potion. Now off to the Cliffs of Depression. From
there, turn around and go to the left. Throw the Flying Disk of Frobozz, and
it will dispel the illusion.
Go forward into the castle, and shoot the bow and arrow at the gates, and
the hand will open the door for you. Once in, an orc will start attacking
you. Drink the invisibility potion, and then play back the recording of
Alexis the hellhound barking, the orc will wimp out and run away. Now, at the
Citadel Bridge, throw *EVERYTHING* that you have at the bridge, until you have
NOTHING left in your inventory. The bridge will come back up. SAVE THE GAME
NOW:) Go over the bridge for your final confrontation with Morpheus. A game
of Survivor. Only now you play Trembyle instead of Canuk, which makes the
game VERY hard. Here is the pattern to win, the number represents what order
you should make the moves in. If he blocks the move, pass your turn, and he
will move to another space, do NOT deviate from the course I give here, or you
will have to forfeit and will have to start over again.
0 5 12 9 0=Where you start
11 8 1 4 14=Where you will end
6 3 10 13 C=Where Canuk/Morpheus will die
C 14 7 2
Again, if he blocks your move, do NOT go anywhere else, just pass your turn,
he MUST move, he is not allowed to pass. Once you complete this, you've
won the game! Congratulations.
The ending of the game is kinda bad, but the game itself is pretty good, I
enjoyed it a lot. Some of the puzzles (the bra box) were ridiculous, and some
of the scenes (the Mining Maze, COME ON! Infocom games are NOT coordination
games) really annoyed me, but all in all it was a pretty good game. I don't
know where to find the remaining 7 points, but obviously it isn't very
important. Till next time, seeya!

Hi everybody,
I have just ordered OS/2 for Windows on CD-ROM. I know that OS/2 does
not include the drivers for my trusty Panasonic CD563, so I would like
to know how I can get the drivers here in Sydney.
I used to have the number for the Creative Labs BBS, but I have lost it.
Oh, does IBM have a BBS here in Sydney which I can ring? Would they
have the drivers there?
BTW, I also have a SB16. Will I need to get drivers for them too, or
does OS/2 include drivers for them?
Is it difficult to install OS/2 using the Panasonic CR562? If it is
I wouldn't mind some brief instructions.
Thanks
Sunny.

Not that difficult. Just make sure you obtain the correct driver for the

Hi, I have MS-Encarta '94 version and what I think of it is....GREAT!
It is the best one I think you can get in the market (that's why I've got
it!) These are some features it has:
1000 articles
8 hours of sounds
samples of 60 languages
7800 photos and illustrations
100 animations and video clips
800 maps
100 interactive charts
a Timeline
Atlas
Also a game which tests your knowledge.
Most of my friends think it is the best, but some of them think that the
Grolier is the Best. You should gte some info. on it and compare it. I'll
check if I have it and I send it to you if I can found it.

Well, it you would take the time to give us more information maybe we could
help you, your the dickhead whose system is not working.. Did I ever claim to
be a tech? If you want a tech's advise go back to where you brought the drive
or pay for it.
"Help.. I can't find MSCD001" what sort of request for help is this anyway? You
have give no information on how to solve your problem.
I could have just said, what type of interface do you have and left it at that,
but instead I gave advice for one of the options.
By the way, the CR562B is a AT-Bus drive the SCSI model is CR553B!
If you can't take someone having a punt at your problem, don't fucking ask for
help you idiot.

Hope so, Netmail if you want to continue fool.

Hi Monty!
Sorry It's taken a while to get back to you but I have been away 2 days and it
takes sometime to get to Austrailia anyway.
The astronomy room.
You are on the right track here. You need to note the three constellations
(Draw a pic) then match them to the library book on the Stoneship age. (Top
right shelf) Each of the constellations in this book have a pic with them. From
there you visit the pillars.
Furnace.
Try turning the handel once the furnace is on. Have a look at the tree. The pic
next to the furnace will give you a hint.
Boat.
Have you solved the pillars? See above.
If you need more help with any of these drop me a note and i will give you the
walk through for them.
See ya. ;-)

Yep i found the same problem and spent a lot of time setting dif combinations

You are told to turn them all off then go to the dock and turn it off last.
This switch is the key. They left out "then "ON"" form the note.

Also, there is a file named RAEASY11.ZIP, it is a trainer and I think it

Also, do you have any trouble with the joystick? If you do there is also

We have Myst for $88 and OS/2 for Windows for $59 on floppy. According to IBM
Australia, to get OS/2 on CD you must buy the full OS/2 (rrp $219 I think).
According to at least one of our customers OS/2 for Windows is available on CD
in the US. Perhaps someone reading this would care to comment.

Geoffrey,
I am interested in purchasing the above CD titles, what price can you
give me for the above list, including postage to Sydney, Australia.
Firstly a few questions, what is Links Collectors ? Is it something to
do with Links 386, if so what is the differnce between it and Microsoft Golf ?
Also, do you have any of the courses for Links for sale ? If Links Collectors
is nothing to do with Golf then please don't include it in the total price, as
I already have Microsoft Golf for Windows, yet I would prefer to get Links 386
for DOS.
Thanx,

SR>I am interested in purchasing a CDROM player for my 486 PC,
SR>should I consider the access speed? What else should be
SR>important to me?
Yes, Most definitly, I mean you don't want a CD-ROM thats take 4ever to read,
do ya? If you have the bucks should go for the triple Speed Multi-Sessions,
with Photo CD compatible, Preferablely have a Cache Build in.
SR>What brand and interface? Is it always SCSI? (if that is
SR>correct) Is there any disadvantages to an external model? How
SR>about the Sound Blaster card, and what brand speakers?
Generally I'll recommand a Sound Blaster Pro 16CD, as there are plenty of
softwares which are writting for it .
They come with SCSI or IDE versions.
Note, do not buy anything which say on the pack
"FULLY COMPATIBLE with Sound Blaster Pro"
As some of these Pack like Sound Galaxy NX16 Pro, They say they are fully
compatible, which arn't true. If you have ever tried to run some Games like
INCA II, Dracular Unlashed, Hired Gun, you will know what I mean.
SR>I have had very little to no experience and will appreciate any
SR>help offered.
Glad to help out.

What you need is to install a vesa driver before playing the game.
Try installing a file called UNIVESA, a universal vesa driver which is
shareware. Fixed my problem, (which was the exact one u got) .

Hi all,
Can anyone in the U.S.A. tell me what is the latest in regards to
moves by the U.S. Congress & Federal Attorney to censor computer
games ? Here in Australia the situation is looking pretty grim
for the games market, at the moment. Our government is about to
legislate to crackdown on computer games very heavily soon !
I'm hoping that the government will listen to reason at the
eleventh hour on this issue, but I don't hold out too much
hope ! If the U.S. goes the same way Australia does, by
the time a title is sold here it will have been censored
twice, once by the U.S & once by the Australian government !
I-CARUMBA !!!!
Any response appreciated.....
Regards & keep playing those CD-ROMs, they maybe outlawed soon !

I bought the SWV Platinum from you guys and recently got the NOWL12 as
well (from a local dealer). I was wondering what's the dupe rate of SWV Emerald
to both SVW Plat or NOWL12?
Or better still, crash me a copy of the allfiles.lst to 1:134/54 and i'll
do a dupe check myself. BTW- the dupes for NOWL12 and SWV Plat is only 3.48%
(128 files)!

I have three and you need to load only one copy of mscdex in autoexec.bat with
a separate indentifier for each cdrom, hence mscd001, mscd002 etc...
C:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:3 C:\CDROM\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /D:MSCD002 /D:MSCD003 /M:15

In Config.sys, you do need 3 separate device driver or use 3 copies if you
have the all 3 same drives:
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:4 /SIZE=12064 C:\CDROM\MTMCDS.SYS /D:MSCD001

I'm using 2-Panasonics 562B and 1-Mitsumi 1x and they came with different
drivers, so I use each of them but you can use the same one three times with
different IRQS, I/O etc... Hope this helps!

Hi Geoffrey,
To tell you the truth, I imagined that i would never get any reply. :-)
I don't know how much do you know Brazil, but in ower bigger city,
Säo Paulo, there is already a CD rental shop. However, they just go
to stores, buy CDs and rent them. I guess they don't care about
if it is legal or not.
I had already heard about Blockbuster video, and I'll try to do something
like what they did. I'll write to some factories and ask them if they
allow it (something like: which titles, copyrights, copy protections, ...)
As soon as I get some answers I'll tell you.
Thank you very much,
Marcos Kutova
(PS.: If I don't get any answers, I'll give it a shot)
( I hope I'll never finish in jail. :-)))) )

Cinemania '94 is THE BEST CD-ROM ever made (ofcourse until Cinemania '95 is
released). It's such a pleasure to browse through the list of films and to see
a bit of the film, to see photo's and what stroke me most, the music is superb.
Listen to the music of the film M*A*S*H!
I can't name a CD-Rom which had more value for me, than this one. Even Encarta
has hasn't got any chance. So if you like films, GO FOR IT.

RC>Go for a SoundBlaster package like a CD16 Dicovery pack retails for $649.00
RC>up including CDs. best value, easiest to use and best supported in Australia
That is hardly a reasonably-priced way for someone to just start getting
into CD-ROM!!!! Personally, I think a cheap SoundBlaster clone board
(they go for about US$31 here) and a double-speed caddyless Panasonic
drive (go for about US$150) is a better way to go. Spend the rest, if
you want, on a collection of discs (I think a great way to start is with
a half dozen good shareware collection discs, like CICA Windows, SIMTEL,
(I like both of those because there seems to be more care put into their
care and "grooming" than most other collections), then maybe something
like the Software Vault, So Much Shareware/N, or ...To The Maxx six-disc
set (which gives a LOT of "bang for the buck").
Getting into CD-ROM doesn't HAVE to be expensive, and this suggestion
that one has to spend six or seven hundred (even Australian) dollars to
get started is ludicrous.
BTW, I just talked to a friend yesterday who swears that one Paris
distributor is now selling the Mitsumi or Philips single-speed caddyless
drives for $68. So the justification for not buying a CD-ROM drive
based on them being expensive is clearly disappearing REAL fast. :-)

Well, not really JUST that question... it's more the question of, when
you want to do something that involves building a sequence of RISC
instructions and maybe a loop, do you let that loop be COMPLETELY
contained within the microprocessor as a firmware (microcode)
subroutine, or do you force it to external memory where it maybe
will occur dozens or even thousands of times, and must be fetched
(from, as you point out, slow external DRAM) each time it's going to be
used?
Given that DRAM (like disc space) are two aspects of computing which are
still qualitatively "expensive", personally I think that wasting disk
and memory space on bulky sequences of RISC instructions (ones that
would be eliminated by a flyspeck of silicon microcode on the processor
chip) is simply dumb.
In any case, it's gotten pretty far removed from CD-ROMs (although it
certainly has implications regarding the types of code we're going to be
seeing on CD-ROMs in the near future) and probably ought to be discussed
further (if it is) in another and better-suited conference. :-)

Personally, I think that the best all-around value is the double-speed
caddyless Panasonic, which is going for around $150 these days. But as
long as you buy for under $200 or so, and don't get a model which
requires those dumb, fiddly and expensive caddies, it's hard to imagine
really how you are going to go too far wrong.

spends $500-600 on a triple-speed drive today, than from somebody who
buys a double-speed drive for $150 or a single-speed drive for $70. I
think the biggest mistake that somebody can make in CD-ROMs today is by
NOT having a drive (almost ANY drive). Right now.

Personally the thing _I_ could do without would be some guy off in
Australia who wants to sell his (one) copy of 7th Guest for AUS$25 or
something... and then for some other guy there trying to talk him
down to $23... for thousands of sysops to transport and store those

LS>I am interested in purchasing a CDROM player for my 486 PC,
LS>should I consider the access speed? What else should be
Access speed is nice but is hardly essential.
LS>important to me?
I think the most important single issue to address is: caddy, or
caddyless? If you buy a caddy drive, you're going to have to fiddle
with the damn things for the life of the drive. Or until you get fed up
with the silly thing and chuck it in the dumpster, whichever comes
first.
LS>What brand and interface?
The brand matters little, all other things being equal. During this
year, you're going to start seeing a lot of no-name clone drives, since
during this year the Taiwanese companies are starting volume production
using locally-sourced components.
LS>Is it always SCSI?
No. The only real advantage of SCSI is being able to hook up a lot of
drives to one controller (and note that the cheap Panasonic double-speed
drives support already up to four, which is probably more than you have
chassis bays for).
LS>Is there any disadvantages to an external model? How
Price, mostly. And cables dangling around.
LS>about the Sound Blaster card, and what brand speakers?
I personally dislike having a CD-ROM drive TOO closely coupled to a
specific sound card, since you're likely to want to update one or the
other sooner or later. Would you want to buy a stereo tuner which only
worked with one specific model and brand of amplifier?

Well, that depends mostly on two things... one, your source: if you
start from PHOTOGRAPHS (i.e. prints on film), you're going to get a lot
better results than you will with printed (i.e. halftoned) pictures like
you find in magazines. Second, your scanner: you'll want a good one
with full, 24-bit true-color, and with good color accuracy. Yours
certainly, in any case, will not be BETTER than the Kodak product.

BT>Can anyone tell me about the "Seedy Rom" series, are they bbs ready?
They are BBS-ready. Good discs.
BT>quality?
Quality is fine. Note that there are a lot of the images (probably even
the majority) that contain BBS logos. It's a nicely varied collection,
though, with just about all types and varieties of images. There's also
a large grab-bag of varied and good erotic text files, too, on disc 6.
BT>and more?
One characteristic of the SeedyROM discs is that they are sorted
alphabetically by filename... there is no categorization of the images.
Which is both good, and bad.
I happen to be the proud owner of one of the limited-edition, numbered
copies of the SeedyROM set, by the way. :-)
BT>I need more disks for my bbs, have 12 drives and more on the way.
In light of recent decisions, and depending on where you live, you might
want to double-check to make sure that putting such a disc set online is
not going to get you into trouble. But if it's okay, you certainly
could do a lot worse than this set.

I would try the following:
Make sure you have at least 580 conventional memory free.
Rem out your CDROM driver statements in the config/autoexec files, reboot,
and see if the problem continues. If the problem dissappears, you need to
find out where the drivers usually are loading in memory and start
excluding those areas from being used by your memory manager.
There are other things you can do, but this is where I have looked when I
had problems like yours.
Hope this helps!!

I can't offer much help, since I don't know whether the game uses interleaved
audio or just stores sound files (and so has to load and play and THEN get the
video to display). You might benefit by upgrading to the lastest smartdrive and
getting some CDROM caching, but I doubt it. You might also try running the
program on a faster CDROM drive (a friends?) and see if the problem disappears,
or just gets less severe IF it disappears, there's hope to fix it. If it gets
less severe, you're stuck.

You'll get a better response if you can post in IPC Gaming, but...
First, can you hear the music playing in the water spout? If you have
the notes on your distaff, just play them backwards. You'll untwist the
spout.
If you DON'T have the notes, you need to go back and explore the island
some more, and discover at least one more draft, to increase your

I aaooreciate your reply. What is funny is this CD - ROM is new (as of

the rare occation I put an audio CD in it and run it in background. I just
cannot see how it could get so dirsty, when the lens is enclosed, and how I
have an audio CD player that has a lid on the top still runs flawless and it
has more dust than ever. Once again I apreciate your help. Regarding theCD
ROM running though my SB, I might need to check and see if I have the audio
cable hooked correctly internally.

Affirmative on that. Byte megazine did some comparision on the drives

drives, upon retesting with the NEC SCSI controller cards they did

Both approaches have their advantage - but you'll find the Pioneers become

your line count largely exceeds your number of drive mechanisms....

No. That drive has a rated limit of 540 Megs for MODE ONE (2048 data bytes per

It doesn't affect me at all - I don't carry "adult" titles, due to the too

Personally, I hope Tony takes this one to the Supreme Court and eventually

hope he wins on ALL counts of his lawsuits AGAINST those SOBs for various

Really, what they will probably do here is to put a warning label on all
electronic games mediums warning that those who are under the age of 13.
Kinda like a movies rated PG13 (parental guidance). As for me, I could care
less!

In the Mac version of this game, there was a 'bug' in the gear world that
prevented the tower form turning properly. I wonder if is the case with
the other versions as well. A patch for the Mac version was released that
fixed it. Somehow, though, I was able to solve the whole thing without use
of the fix-probably because I finished it before I knew about the problem.
Great game, though!!

1/2 years ago...I wanted a mass collection of stuff to get me going...It was
crappy but that's life... It's a buyer beware situation out here on the market
today.. Some disks are awesome..some of course are not... Just listen to what
some of the regular people in this echo say about discs and you should have no
problems. If you're looking for decent shareware discs for BBS Use or Personal
use...look at Night Owls, Pier Shareware , etc... The discs you see advertised
all the time and everyone talks about..They're usually better... Also you do
get what you paid for...As a general rule if you're picking a disk up for less
than $15.00 US then it's probably old, outdated or sub-standard...However,
there are exceptions..BLOWOUT SALES, etc.
Hope this help you along

No Problem. The puzzle in the kitchen is difficult. I only beat it
because of someone's hint. you have to spell the sentence, "SHY GYPSY
SHYLY SPRYLY TRYST AT MY CRYPT" As for the bishop puzzle it is very
difficult! It took me and a few buddies a few days to beat. The key is
to get 2 of each color to the other sides not right beside each other
spaced out then work on the others. You may find that you have to move a

Well, you could put in back in the plastic bag when your done, that doesn't
sound like too much trouble to me. I guess putting them in Ziploc bags (the
stronger ones made of heavier plastic) wouldn't be a bad idea either. If
you want, you can pick up empty jewel cases for a buck or two at some music
stores -- actually, I've also seen them at Zellers (if you have Zellers

Well that's a mouthful there George....let's see if I can help without giving

There is one page for each brother in each of the 4 ages . You must not have
explored all of channelwood. Have you been to the third level? Try making a
map, it always works for me. As for the rocket and the levers, you have to
push the button to get the sounds from the levers. However, I found this
matching of notes to be quite difficult, I ended up counting the notches as the
levers moved up.
In the mechanical age (gear), there is something in the 2 rooms. Check the
walls carefully.

I think it's pretty good. The Seedmaster program works under windows and the
other program is the Online Bible...It's DOS. I very rarely use the Online
Bible because the Seedmaster will let you do so much more. There are 9
versions. No NIV though. Uses Strongs # and Greek and Hebrew Lexicons.
Supposedly you can use the OLB files with Seedmaster but I haven't been able to
figure out how to to do that yet. I've had it for a couple of months and Yes, I
do like it.

You turned all the switches ON and then turned the one off? If not, do.
Remember it's not the switch right by the gears, but the one on the dock that
you need to change to OFF. It's at the bottom of the stairs beside the boat.
Make sure you turn the one by the gears back on again, though. The marker
switch should open and there's the vault. Beyond that, I'm not sure. Hope it
works!

Hi there. I was wondering if you could help me with gear world. I've gotten
into the elevator and the rotation thingme and everything, and I've managed to
turn the island... but it will only turn to the original island and the one
with the two symbols on a gear. It makes different sounds, though, not just
the two that are supposed to be made for these two place, but it's always one
or the other. Could you please tell me exactly what you did in the gear world?
Did you do anything with th clock in the fancy bedroom, or the cage in the
secret room in the other one? Does the wind up bird have nything to do with
it? The crystals that light up when your hand passes over them? Anything?
I've tried many many times with the simulator and have timed it to the one
hundredth of a second when correlating it to the real thing. Either it's a
technical problem or there's something else I'm missing. I noticed you've
finished the game, so I was hoping you could help.
Thanks for your time!

Well just experiment with the elevator... it can hang inbetween 2 levels...
You'll need to get to the top floor and then press on the middle button (get

You need to find the 2 boys rooms (there on a second level above most trees)
You can get there by taking the elevator next to the turning steps.
In the mechanical world you'll need the elevator (experiment with the middle
button and get out off the elevator while pressing it)

It is our NEW CD-ROM BenchMark and Test CD. The CD utilities that we
have written for this disc are MUCH improved over what we have on the
Mega Demo 2. Unlike the Mega Demo CD, CD-STONE will have no ShareWare
on it, just the utility programs. Like the other disc, it will be
offered free with any CD-ROM disc purchase.

Yes, on all counts. First understand this, the prices and promotions
that are on the flyer were a last minute addition that came about
because of the success of our BBS advertising. New specials and
promotions will be developed specific to the echoes once we have
time to recover from the mailing. FYI, this was the only medium in
which our special version of Forbidden Subjects was advertised. We
may institute that promotion again at some future date, but again,
Fidonet will be the only place that the ad will appear.

Well actually, I post this ad about 2-3 time a week in the

to find it without too much difficulty.

In my list, OS/2 for Windows CD-ROM is A$59 as well, or the full version (from
DOS/Windows upgrade) is $119 (both exclude postage). Can probably supply if you
can't get it.

Steve, I bought OS/2 for Windows from IBM (for $59) and was told it
was only available on floppy (18 HD 3.5 inch disks).
A mate bought it last weekend in Canberra on CD for $59 from a
local software shop. They ONLY had it on CD and would have had
to back order to supply on floppy. I do not know whether the CD
was sourced from IBM Australia or US.
Sounds to me like IBM Australia has an oversupply of floppies
they want to get rid of.

The Mitsumi CD ROM has a proprietry interface, thats why they come with

Is it possible to connect the cd-rom cable to both cd-rom

This is a no no, however it is possiable to plug the audio output
from your CD ROM to the SB basic and have the audio output, you may
require a special cable for that, see your owners manuale.

Scott,
I use EZ-ROM and am extremely happy about it. I have 2 CD drives in
which I rotate about 20 CDs (almost daily!). So at any given time I have at
least two(2) online! Therefore, given EZ-ROMs capabilities, users can D/L from
the two currently online and/or put in requests from ANY of the offline disks
as well! Very easy to set up! and I will help you if you want it for setting up
batches to rotate your menus and active disks. Just ask nice<grin>
Now, I'm having a real problem with a door called Shopkeeper +. The
support line says my problem CAN'T exist. It just hangs on a user and drops
them! I have set it up both as a door and a DOS hook (same results). If I start
it from the the DOS level, it works great! If I call in to the BBS and drop to
DOS, it works great! As a DOS hook or a door I can't use it. Anyone reading
this have any ideas??? Helllllp!
Merle
P.S. I think the EZROM reg was $25.00 and the author netmailed my key!!

You don't need to solve the microscope puzzle. It's more for your
entertainment. It's just an adaptation of the arcade game Attaxx (sp?). You
can leave the lab by going through the cell. Solving the puzzle gets you
nothing. I haven't worked on the Knight puzzle yet, though I have the book.
If I read it to tell you how, it'll spoil it for me.

Definitley get scsi. this will ensure that your controller, at least,

three months until the quads come out, if you can.

NO! definitely get a media vision because ALL of their drives are scsi
and include the controller. the fusion kit, for example, includes the
pro-audio spectrum 16 with a scsi interface. scsi lets you upgrade in
the future without having to pay for ANOTHER controller card. The
media drives are also FASTER than creative labs. I saw a media vision
kit this past weekend at Comp-USA for about $429.00. Spend this extra
fifty bucks and ensure yourself YEARS of upgradability.
Hope that helped :->,

It's not a question of "too much trouble" -- it's a question of how to protect
the disc while still keeping it handy. Do you really store your CD-ROMs in a
pile of Ziploc bags? That's hard to believe ...
I'll probably opt for buying empty jewel cases locally, and cutting out part of
the cardboard box to make a cover. Do you have any good suggestions for
alternative ways of protecting and keeping handy a bunch of CD-ROMs?

Thanks for the reply!
Do the "more expensive" (say, $15 and up) disks also come packaged in just a
sleeve? Or, where is the dividing line? Somehow I would expect the jewel case
to be the norm for a "standard" offering.

General Protection Faults are caused by two programs trying to use the same
piece of memory. Finding the cause is VERY tricky and time-consuming.
You should be able to run Telix from DOS (IE, NOT from the DOS prompt in
Windows) See if the problem persists if you are running in 386Enh mode
instead of Standard (which provides better protection against GPF's)
Otherwise, you are down the the process described in another response to
this message. Finally, double-check port addresses, IRQ settings, and
DMA channels, to make sure that you have not used the same resource for
two devices.

Hi Mike.. I am going to order the Select Phone from you. But, I there
will be a new release called 2Q coming out in 2 weeks according to the Author.
I was able to get a reply from him on CIS and I will put it in the message
below for you to read so that you will know what to get for me.
Mike, please let me know as soon as you get this new Select Phone 2Q
release via this echo and also netmail in case I don't get it here on fido.
My fido address is 1:2202/5
Ok, here is the reply I got from CIS for both you and everyone to read. I
am really excited about some of the new features in this 2Q release as you will
read below:
#: 83391 S2/Titles & New Prods [CDROM]
26-May-94 13:55:57
Sb: #83043-Select Phone
Fm: Jim Bryant / Pro CD, Inc 71754,3026
To: Jerry Thomson 75530,1417
There are no limits to the number of listings you can export to a printer or
file with Select Phone.
When ordering be sure to specify the 1994 2Q Release, scheduled to ship in 2
weeks. This new edition will include a map link feature that will allow you
also display an unlmited number of slected records on a map of the US. You can
for example visualize a list of all of the Jerry Thomson's on a US map or
better yet a list of all of your customers.
The 2nd Quarter edition will also include over 27 million new business and
residential listings, resulting in the best release we will have shipped to
date. We have also added Zip +4 to all of the records with valid addresses and
provided the ability to search or sort by Zip+4. There is also a filter that
allows you to export selected ranges of listings that contain zip +4 addresses
(this will increase the delivery rate of any mailings you might do with the
listings as all of the Zip + 4 listings have deliverable addresses.) The new
Windows edition 2.0 contains alot of other new features that will enable you
to better use directory listings.
For more info, feel free to contact our customer service line 800-99CD-ROM
(617)631-0900.

Yes it is a great offer. Rather than spending a lot on Mag
advertising I thought I would give the end users who aren't
familiar with Cream of the Crop a price break on the remaining
Cream 2 disc I had in stock. Night Owl and other cd rom titles
are out selling Cream of the Crop about 20 to 1 and I am

My pleasure! Thank you for the plug... I'm always looking for
new ideas so when I was getting Cream 3 ready I decided to write
a utility to convert the files.bbs to any format a person could
imagine. I believe "AnyStyle" came pretty close to doing that.
So far I haven't heard of anything I could have added. I also
wrote a utility shortly after Cream 3 was pressed that would
calculate the average file date of a cd. Perhaps this method of
determining the relative age of various shareware cd's will
catch on. I'm anxiously waiting to see what the average file
date will be on the 2 cd's that are currently being released.

Very true, nothing to complain about that!
But calling 4 weeks later, and getting the answer: "It has been
shipped yesterday" is fishy already. After 3 weeks you call
again, then it's the US post office that has lost the mail, or
the foreign customs which might hold the merchandize back, etc.
etc. The guy won't call you, YOU ought to call him multiple
times. However, he's pretty responsive when requirements for bulk
orders pop up... BTW, if he talks as he writes English, 80% of
his problems are caused by this deficiency!!!
I couldn't figure out parts of his message to me. Some
native-English speaking friends got a chuckle out of it.
Summary: If you shut up, don't call Boris about a lacking cable,
plug, or another accessory, a missing disk, a faulty CD-ROM
drive, or no parcle at all, you'll NEVER receive anything
without getting noisy. It wouldn't bother much, but receiving the
Visa bill before the merchandize arrives or is shipped out is
annoying indeed! I have observed that it took quite some time until
the "pro Boris fans arrived in masses" and wonder whether he is
sending free discs to a couple of guys who try to gag his victim
(who had pretty good reasons to complain). None of you has
complained about his long silence concerning all these
"unfounded" allegations. He just kept on bombarding the net with
numerous canned ads. I takes always some time to develop a new
strategy...
Since Boris advertises here for free, he must be
prepared to get negative remarks back on the same net. Life is
made up of giving and taking, not just a one-way street.
Good advice how to curb vendors who try to do monkey business:
call your credit card company and complain vehemently. It has
worked for me very well in the past. The buyer must be the king
and not vice versa!

Just plug the CD player right to the Soundblaster. Then run the installation
software that came with your soundblaster board. You probably will have to
delete the old drivers from your config.sys (please make sure to back it up).
If you don't have the drivers you probably can get them from a local BBS or
from the Soundblaster comp. Let me know how you do.

The game blaster is a good deal providing you want the software that comes with
it. I would probably wait because a 4X Cd-Rom is coming out for less that
$400. Most people who buy the soundblaster packages never use the
games/programs and end up selling them for next to nothing or let them store on
a shelf collecting dust. Find out exactly what you want to do with a Cd-Rom
first then decide. Another thing you must consider when buying packages is
"who makes the CD-Rom drive. Sound Blaster uses a Mitsumi drive which is
reliable and good.
Hope that helps

At this point, PowerPC is not aimed at the Intel x86 market. Apple has
bet the farm on it, though, and IBM is pushing it in the workstation mkt.
Since MS is supporting it (via WinNT), Intel has to take the threat
seriously...the PPC 620 is way ahead of the Pentium, and some industry
sources speculate that it is ahead of the P6, too. But until the
compatability is there, the PPC is a niche market.
If I were Borland, though, I'd be working on optimizing PPC compilers.

It is a proprietary interface board referred as the ATBUS card. Egghead's

driver includes a switch to select which of 4 drives is interfaced, and you

With the QuickTime runtime module. If your CD-ROM requires it, it will
most likely be part of the installation. It's a Windows tool and so I
haven't figured out what-all is involved in the installation, I just let
the auto-install take care of it.

As interpreted by the only one that matters, the US Supreme Court. They have
ALWAYS held that obscenity is NOT protected by the 1st Amendment to the US
Constitution.
They do not provide a firm standard for what is or is not obscene--it is
up to the jury, not the court, to decide that. So you could lose a case
ANYWHERE, if you were unfortunate enough to draw a tightass jury. If you
lose in federal court, and you have sizable assets, they will use RICO to
sieze them--before you get to appeal. Even if you win the appeal, you
may not get them back, or compensation for their loss.

A suggestion:
How about restricting commercial sales notes in this forum to
short announcements of new CDs (with a description thats more than
a restatement of a title) or special offers? Use the other forum
to post catalog listings!!
Its real painfull to sift though the posts here when looking for
information with the extensive trafic of catalogs (even when they
are split up into 10 line messages). Now I am not against catalogs
and have certainly ordered from the ones I found in the SALES
forum nor do I have any problem with dealers answering a question
about where some title can be obtained; I am just tired of seeing
the exact same long listings in two places!

I purchased it about 3 weeks ago, and thoroughly LOVE it. I'm running a 386
dx33 and have had NO problems with it speedwise or otherwise. The package takes
about 20 minutes to install, and I was up and running. At that price, the games
alone that came with it amount to more than the cost of the system (I priced
them <grin>). Sure you can always get the latest and greatest (and shell out
the big bucks) but I'm very happy with this one. The drive seems well built,
and the accessories (joystick/speakers/SB pro 16 card) are great. I say go for
it!

You asked what is a CD-ROM caddy?
Some ROM players will allow you to lay the CD directly onto the tray, like
your Audio Disc players; however, some CD-ROM players require a special caddy
in which the ROM disc is placed. The caddy, of course, is then inserted into
the ROM player much like a cassette is inserted into the player.
Caddy's may be expensive; however, they do protect the disc more so than the
ROM drives that do not require caddies. But, I wouldn't worry to much about
damaging the disc anyway. Either ROM drive works well, IMHO.

I have seen this problem coming for a long time. SInce the large profit
margins are all but gone from the market, except for a few exceptions.
In general, the profit is much lower then they were. The need to cut
back on cost has been a big problem for "CD Developers".
In the real world of buying CD-ROM disks for your computer you will see
some in cases, some in cardboard, and some in just about anything.
This is not a real problem because there are many places to order
j-cases and caddies, as well as other multi-storage boxes to hold all
the CD's that you have.
Walnut Creek has the j-cases for (I Believe) 50 cents a piece. Some of
us have a lot of caddies left over from different drives and I use those
along with the J-cases.
I also see a lot of magazines putting out CODES. So here is another
reason to get a few spare j-cases, or caddies...

Being a sysop myself, I can see that point. The reason I posted "enough

regardles of whether they are a dealer or not! Even further, I'm supplying
free advertising to the commercial dealers, who give me nothing in exchange.
I'm not in favor of that.
Basically, they are diminishing the informative aspect of this echo, and
leaving it to be a commercialized wastland. There already IS a commercial echo
for CD-ROM software, and this place certainly isn't it.

Logos is offering for a short time only this summer a special deal on what will

The new version will undoubtedly sell for more. The price during the

CD WORD is the cadillac of all Bible CD programs. The current version contains
4 translations (KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); also several commentaries, lexicons,
dictionaries, etc. It is WINDOWS ONLY. While I'm not a regular Windows user,
I find it perfect for CD WORD, since you can simultaneously have several
windows side-by-side. For instance, you can call up a Bible translation/s,
greek manuscript, commentary, and dictionary ALL AT THE SAME TIME. There is
more, but I don't have time to list everything it can do.

Does anyone have more information on an upgrade for the Journeyman
project? I have one of the early disks - you know the type where there
is a 20-30 second pause after every step (on a single spin drive). i
heard there was an update available - but have heard nothing since.
Any info on who to contact? Where to contact them? etc....
Thanks

GCNO! definitely get a media vision because ALL of their drives are
GCscsi and include the controller. the fusion kit, for example,
GCincludes the pro-audio spectrum 16 with a scsi interface. scsi lets
GCyou upgrade in the future without having to pay for ANOTHER
GCcontroller card. The media drives are also FASTER than creative
GClabs. I saw a media vision kit this past weekend at Comp-USA for
GCabout $429.00. Spend this extra fifty bucks and ensure yourself
GCYEARS of upgradability.
Media Vision may not last another 6 months given their current
financial, management and legal troubles. I'm not sure buying Media
Vision products is a good idea, at least until they get through their
current crisis.

Hello John!
JM>What is on this Free cd? Is it shareware, games, adult or
JM>what? I'd like to know more before sending in my funds,
JM>rvsp :)
It comes with over 300 MegaBytes of shareware and our custom written
CDROM Drive BenchMark and test utilities. Granted, the shareware is not
the most current, but some of the items on it offer "Timeless"
enjoyment no matter what the age may be (i.e. SwimSuit GIFs, sound
files and demos as well as a variety of animation files).
If you're not sure you want to 'take the plunge' on this CD, just ask
some of the other individuals in this echo what they think about it.
I'm like you in this respect, in that I always wait for the reviews to
come out before I make a decision either way.
Thank you for your interest John, and if I can answer any other
questions for you fire away.

Hello Geoffrey!
GC>how do i get my free CD? please reply ASAP. Thanks
Glad to you interested Geoffrey! All you have to do is look for one
of my FREE CDROM ads. I post them periodically in this echo, the CDROM
ForSale echo and the Commercial ForSale echo. If you can't find the Ad,
then you can get it by this method: Get out a piece of paper and write
at the top "Send Me My Free CDROM Disc As Seen On Fidonet". Put the
return address where you want the CD shipped to on this as well, and
enclose the appropriate shipping and handling charge. For Canada it is
$3.00 (US), and in the contiguous United States it is $2.00. Funds may
be Personal Check (Drawn on US Bank), Money Order, Cashier's Check or
US Currency (Not Recommended). Make funds out to "The Profit Group".
Put all of this into an envelope and mail to the following address:
The Profit Group
824 East Ft. Lowell Road
Tucson, Arizona 85719
As soon as we receive your letter we will ship the CD out to you.
If I can be of further service Geoffrey give me a holler!

*@SUBJECT:CD-Rom & Pro Audio Spectrum N
I have a Creative Labs CD and a Pro Audio Plus sound card... The problem
is that the cables will not fit from the CD to the Sound Board... Has
anyone else made this blundering mistake of buying an incompatible sound
card for their CD and been able to get it to work... I've tried rig job
I could think of to get it to work... If anyone has a Sony CD, this is
definately the card for you! If someone wants to upgrade to this card,
I would trade for a SB Pro... They are SUPPOSEDLY equal, other than the
fact that the SB pro will work w/ my drive!!

I was replying to this message, I wasn't asking it. If I remembered who I
left it to I'd forward it to them. Most CD-ROMS out on the market can auto
switch between the modes, so when the person saw 540meg, they didn't realize
that the mode switches over when necessary.

That's prety cheap. Though I saw a MPC drivr for $99. For ∩$79 it probably

I just received this CD and attempted to set it up with Romdoor 311.
When I finished I found that only the name, size and date are showing
up. The description area is blank. When I looked at the text files for
each area the description is there. Has anyone else had this problem?
Anyone got any answers?
Today is the first day I've used Romdoor311, I just upgraded from 3.10.

|-------------------------------------|
Thank you Aaron for your comment and we're pleased to hear such a service
would be of interest to you.
At the current time, the majority of our sales are here in the states as
well as Europe, South America and South Africa. Our decission to offer
a toll free service is basied on the volume of business being generated
by a particular region. According to our records and information provided
to us by other companies, Asia at the current time, is not a hot bed of
sales on any level of computer related products. It's possiable that the
trade barriers imposted by your country could have something to do with
that as well as certain trade restrictions, I can't say for sure. But I
can assure you this, if we do see an upward swing in this area, we will
certainly look into the possiablity of offering such a service !
Again, thank you for your interest and your suggestion. It's always
nice to see positive user input as it helps in the everyday decision
making.
Thank You....

Christian,
You have to take the boat that you rent from Ben. The way to get the boat
to run is by using the grey rats found in the general store. The one that
you had to pick the lock with the wire from the bra in order to get in.
Anyway, when you get there, ask her about your recordings and inventory,
then give her the letter. She will give you her walking stick. Don't give
up on her, keep going back to visit and she will eventually give you her
bats. That's as far as I have gotten, hope it helps you out. Take care
and have a good one.
L8r,
Paula
If anyone else has any hints, PLEASE share, I could use the help.

Thanks for your information Peter, I already plugged the audio output
from my cd rom to the SB basic, It works ok but when I play 1 cd rom
game which requires 2 megs of expand memory and minimum of 580k
conventional memory, so I changed my config and autoexac files but still
only monitor works fine, once in a while audio can be heard at speakers,
Is it because I have a slow cpu 386dx25? or something else?

SS>hello all!!
SS> here's the deal...
SS> i am looking for a GOOD cd rom drive , mpc2, fast so i won't ha
SS>to upgrade for awhile, SCSI interface, with a good sound card and as much
SS>software as possible. i have about $750.00 dollars to spend.
...for that price, you can buy several.
SS>are the triple speeds worth the cost? or is a double speed good enough?
Personally, I don't think the triple speeds (or the SCSI models) are
worth the huge difference in cost. I'm currently getting the
double-speed caddyless Panasonic for $156 with controller, cables, and
driver (and that one supports up to four drives on one card). You could
get four of them and still have $150 left over to spend on discs.
And just yesterday I bought six new Philips caddyless (single-speed)
drives with controller and cables for $65 each... only about half again
the price of a 5-1/4" floppy drive. Price for all six? Less than $400,
plus tax. Sure, they're not the fastest thing out there... but for a
BBS that wants to have lots of gigs online, it's a real cheap solution!
And not a bad one, either... no long delays while discs get changed.
The other thing is that the triple-speed drives are going to cost half
as much in a year. Buy one today and you're going to feel like an idiot
before Christmas. You're paying a huge premium to have "the fastest"
and before year-end the quad-speed will be "the fastest" and the premium
you paid now will look foolish.
The _biggest_ mistake one can make regarding CD-ROM is not having one.
(Or more, even).
SS>do i go with scsi ( no i don't have scsi now. this would be the first scsi
SS>device i have dealt with)?
SCSI is nice, no doubt about that. But it's AWFUL expensive, both for
the card and for the drives you add later. Frankly, I just don't think
it's worth the premium, for most people.
SS>which is the best bundel for the money out there?
Used to be that bundles were the only way to get a good collection of
discs at a reasonable price. Today, you can get a huge choice of
excellent discs and at very good prices without having to bundle, and
often the bundles are more than anything else a way to dump the
less-good stuff onto unwary buyers.
SS>there is a computer show this weekend (5/22) and i was hopeing to get it the
SS>all help would be greatly apreseated...
Well, maybe it will help somebody else, even if you've already bought.
In any case, enjoy!

Maybe YOU get plenty of sources for CD-ROMs, living in the USA, but
there's a lot of us outside the USA that get the most of our information
about new discs and sale pricing (outside the markets we LIVE in) from
this echo.
I do agree that it's sorta gotten out of hand, but instead of
eliminating for-sale items (and since this IS a worldwide echo) I think
a lot of the problem could be reduced by the following:
1) No one-off, private individuals selling their used single
copy(ies) of some widely available disc. No point sending such
ads to thousands of boards around the globe! Sell 'em at your
local flea market, or by a notice on your local BBS's Main Board
conference or whatever.
2) A given vendor may not run the same (or essentially similar) ad
more than once every two weeks (or month, maybe), unless there
has been a substantial reduction in price or something.
3) No dickering between buyer and seller about prices. Do that by
fax or mail or telephone or something.
4) No catalog requests. Do those by mail or telephone or fax or
whatever, too.
These restrictions would get rid of about two thirds of the (massive)
volume in this echo, and would eliminate the least interesting and most
redundant or useless messages. I wouldn't want to see ALL the dealer
for-sale messages disappear, not at all!!!

I bought the full-commercial version (1.1) on CD-ROM back in March at
CeBIT in Germany.
Unfortunately, the version I got is buggy and the second episode (at
least) crashes rather predictably by the time I get to the third (?)
building or thereabouts. I'm going to give them a few months and then
write to the company and ask them to send me a fixed, later version.

The simplest and best solution, instead of adding expansion cases, is to
add a second machine and link it to the first with ARCnet boards and a
good, cheap peer-to-peer LAN like Little Big LAN. Here, I get large
tower cases (six 5-1/4" halfhigh bays, all externally available, plus
two or three internal 3-1/2" bays for hard drives) for about $76, power
supply included. Add about $35-40 for an ARCnet card (one for your
main machine too!), a cheap 386SX motherboard (for that matter,
don't you have an old 286-12 motherboard or something floating around
somewhere?) and a couple of 256K SIMMs (your old motherboard probably
has a bunch of DIP DRAMs in it already, that you've been wondering what
to do with), plus a heap-cheap display card (an old monochrome one
from your junk drawer would do fine) and a multi-I/O and floppy for
booting, and you're in.

Flopticals are floppy diskettes (they look for all the world like 3.5"
floppies) except that they have laser-etched guide tracks in them that
allow sufficiently precise head positioning that they can cram lots more
than 80 cylinders on them (more like 800-1000).
There's enough confusion regarding different types of optical disk
drives already, without people like you adding to the confusion. :-)

I had a dealer debit my Master card for the price of a hard drive,
then disappear. :(
Being incredibly cheap, most of my stuff has been sent by surface
mail. Takes between 8 and 14 weeks, with 10-12 being most common.
Air mail usually takes 1-2 weeks. The prices I've seen quoted here
for air mail postage look reasonable; being only CDs, the software
doesn't weigh much. When you're shipping application packages with
huge user manuals it can really cost you a bundle!
Note: Software doesn't have wholesale sales tax levied when it gets
to Australia, but the same can't be said for hardware. Expect to pay
25% (usually) or 34% for "entertainment" type items.
For example, I'd expect a games console to be taxed at the higher
rate, but a CDROM drive at the lower (because it's classed as computer
equipment.)
Even if tax is payable, they may let you off if the amount is less
than $20 Aus. as it's not worth collecting.

I can get a new cd rom/controller and cable for a little bit more than that.
So I have this driver, that I cant use. If by any chance anyone has the
controller card, with a blown up drive, then maybe we can do a bit of business.
One is usesless without the other.

Hi Roger Dupler
how about this.....
Return To Zork
Almost-Full-Point Solution
NOTE : At certain points in the solve I will tell you to use an item, and not
tell you to pick it up again, or just mention the existence of an item in a
certain room. Make sure you pick EVERYTHING up (with the exception of the
things I tell you NOT to pick up:)). Anything that you leave behind, you
should go back and get.
Hey. Well you're playing Return to Zork, and are stucker than stuck, and
need some help. Look no further, here's the solution to the game! I didn't
get all the points (only 218/225) but the end is there either way, and here's
how to get to it. I also believe there are a few parts of the game that are
just unsolveable (ie the oven, and anything relating to hellhounds).
You start off in a mountain pass. A quick thing to do is pick up the rock
from the lower left hand part of the screen and throw it at the vulture. Then
you might be tempted to get the bonding plant from down below. Don't. My
recommendation is to wait till later in the game to get the plant. So
instead, just mosey down the path to the lighthouse. Enter the lighthouse and
babble with the lighthouse keeper. He really doesn't have very much
interesting to say at this point, so what you say doesn't matter very much.
Next go outside the lighthouse again. Now if you head down the path, you'll
be at the road to the south, unsolveable, so instead, go around the back of
the lighthouse. From here, cut the vines from the fence, and bind the wood
panels together with the vines. Now you have a raft, use it to go one space
down the river, and get off at the bridge.
You are now in the town of West Shanbar, facing the town-proper. First
easy thing to do is go to the building on the far right, it's a destroyed
hardware store. Go in, and get the box and the crank. You don't need the
mice, so leave them there. Next stop should be the close house on the right,
the school house. To get in, bang the bell with the crank or the dagger. The
school teacher will first quiz you with the games first copy-protection, and
then give you a notebook in which you can record all of your travels in the
game. Next stop is the Town Hall, close building on the left, go in, talk to
the mayor, and whatever. Then read ALL the files in the cabinets. It's a lot
of reading, and you'll be referring back to it later on (and a lot of this
solve won't make any sense without reading it). Then after you leave Town
Hall, face center of town, and turn around from there, go off to the left of
the screen, towards the mill. Go into the mill, and you'll have your first
encounter with Boos. First of MANY. Go out the other door into the backyard
of his house, and grab the key from the floor, and pull the chock out of the
water wheel (I don't actually know what this accomplishes, but it gives you
two points, so what the heck:)). Go back through the house, and back to town,
where you can now go to the building on the far left. Use the key to unlock
the door. Go in, grab the battery off the shelves, and the money and tickets
out of the cash register. Then go back to facing the bridge, and on the far
right side of the screen, your mouse arrow will point down, go this way. Here
you will meet the waif. Give him the tickets, and he will give you a gift, it
looks like a piece of lint, but it's very important later in the game. From
here, go back the old mill, and do the following. When Boos pours you a
drink, pour the drink out into the plant, then make a toast with him (glasses
clinking icon) then drink the empty glass. Repeat this four times, and he
will pass out, opening up the Great Underground Empire. But wait, you're not
done yet. Leave the mill, and re-enter it, and repeat the entire
pour/toast/drink process again, but only three times this time, after he says
"Damn Few.", click on the "Don't Drink & Drive" icon, and he will give you his
car keys. OK, don't get too excited here, you can't drive his car, but you
can now enter the GUE. Before you leave this room, also be sure to grab the
flask off of the ground by his feet.
Go down the passage you just opened, and you will be at a door, open the
door with the car keys, and you are now in a new mill! Exit this mill, and
you are now within the GUE. Follow the path straight, into East Shanbar.
First building to enter is the second one on the left. Go into Moodock's
Armoury, and have a chat with him, then play a game of Survivor (he'll explain
the rules to you). It's also impossible for you to lose in this incarnation
of Survivor (you will play a much harder version later on), so just futz
around, and once you win he will give you a sword, and a coin (not a Zorkmid
though). Next, out of the building, turn around from the center of town, and
face the bridge. Cross the bridge, and go to the left. At the Fool's
Memorial, pick up the book off of the floor. From here, proceed down the left
path again, and follow it into Snoot's Farm. Enter through the window, as the
door is locked. Enter the door second from the left, and in that room will be
the lovely Rebecca Snoot, brushing her teeth. She'll knock you out for
breaking and entering, however. When you get up, talk to her and she'll quiz
you with the second and final copy-protection of the game. Once you're out of
that predicament, from the main room, go into the door on the right side of
the room, zoom in on the cabinet, and grab the mirror from the desk. Then
again, from the main room, go through the center archway, and in the kitchen
take the soap off the sink, the thermozz from the table, and open the
refridgerator and take the meat out. (The meat will rot, don't worry about
it, you want it to rot.) From there, put the soap in the sink, and run the
water on it, you will now have soapy water, wash the waif's gift in the soap,
and lo and behold, you have a piece of a mysterious disk. Neat. In the
kitchen is also an oven that blows up if you turn it on (Why it does this is
beyond me) and a box of cereal that you can't pick up. Again, from the main
room again, go into the door on the far left. In there is Alexis the
poodle/hellhound. Click on her and she will growl at you. Nothing else is
necessary from the dog, but her growling is necessary for you to win the game.
After you leave the building, on random occasions, Rebecca will come and meet
you out on the road. When you do see her, take her picture.
Next stop is the carrot silo. From the front of Rebecca's house, go up
and to the right, and you will be at the carrot silo. Take the crank, and put
it on the silo door, and crank it clockwise. The silo will explode and you
should take some of the carrots. From here, again go up and to the right, and
you will be at the Pugney farm. Go to the red house first, and DON'T take the
box off the ground. Go to the door, and open the window and talk to Pugney.
Be Apologetic, and he will let you take the box off the front lawn. Once you
finish with him, grab the box, and now go to the blue barn behind the red
house. Go inside with the cow, and take a clump of hay from the ground (left
bottom corner) pick it up, drop it again, and then take the matches and light
the hay on fire. Now warm your hands by the fire, and milk the cow with the
thermozz. Then feed the cow the carrots. Next stop, back to Rebecca's house,
and go into her kitchen (or bathroom) and fill the flask (not the thermozz)
with water. Now go back to East Shanbar and go to the last building on the
left. Pull lever 1 and the top of the incinerator will open. Throw the bra
box into the incinerator, and pull lever 1 again. Then pull lever 2, and
zoom in on the drawer. Pour the water from the flask onto the hot wire, and
pick the wire up.
Now take that wire, and enter the first building on the left (from the
center of town) and use the wire to pick the lock. Shake the cereal box.
Shake it again. Take the whistle. Next pick up the rats, and IMMEDIATELY put
them into the box you picked up earlier. (The meat you picked up, by now,
should have rotted away) Make SURE you put the rats into the box, or you
will die a quick death. Next up is go from the center of town, straight out,
to the fork in the road, pick the left one first. Pick the tiles up off the
floor, and then turn around, and pick the frame up off the floor. Drop the
tiles into the frame, and you have a lovely word puzzle. The solution to the
puzzle is "Water unseen at falls mix with bat dropping yields potion for", and
once you get that far, the last block will fall into place, "invisibility".
Now, in the same place, twirl around once more, and pick up the disk piece and
the two pieces of illuminyte off the floor. From here, go back to the center
of town, and enter the first building on the right (by this point most people
will be telling you that you stink). Buy a room from Molly Kettle, and go up
to your room in the elevator. Enter the room, and place the illuminyte rocks
onto the nightstand. Then zoom in on the monitor, and turn the radio on.
Then turn the lights off. You will have a dream about Morpheus, the head
bad-guy of the game. Next, get up, turn the lights back on, and take your
illuminyte back (make sure to turn the lights on first). Exit this building
now.
Now for the hard parts. There are now two mazes to deal with. One is
rather vicious, and one is just annoying because of what you have to do. The
first woods we will discuss is the Whispering Woods, the right fork in the
road from the path straight out of town. First things first, however. Go
back to the silo, grab more carrots. Go back to the cow, pour your thermozz
milk into the flask, and then milk the cow again (it must be done the same way
as earlier). Now go to the Whispering Woods. Once you enter, your vision
will start deteriorating. Once the comment reads "Can you see the Galactic
Milky-Way?", drink ALL the milk you have, it should say that your vision is

now good enough to break any spell. If it says this, and gives you five
points, your done. If not, repeat the same process over again (milking cow,
etc), and the second time it will give you the points (I had to do it twice).
Once this is accomplished, here is a map of the woods.

T TTT T T T T T T NOTE : Due to an annoying way that this game's
T T T T T T creators made the maps, I have to show one
T TTT TTT T T T T tree as two. So it is actually only six
T T T T T T T paces from the entrance straight south, not
TTTTTTTTTTTTTxTTT 12 as it may seem.
Ok, so my map-drawing facilities aren't first class. But you get the
picture. Once you get out of the maze, you may have noticed a whispering in
the woods (wow what a coincidence) it says "two rings begin, three rings
return" (or maybe it's vice-versa, anyway, that irrelevant). You will now be
standing at a dock with a bell. Ring it twice (or is it three? Again,
irrelevant, just ring it again if the ferryman doesn't come on two). Now the
ferryman will arrive with his hand extended. Show him the coin Moodock gave
you, and he will ferry you across the river. You are now on Canuk's Island.
Go to his house. At the door, you will see a magnet on top of the door.
We'll be getting that later:) Once inside, you will see a duck, a ship in a
bottle, a scroll, and blueprints. Take the scroll and read it to the duck.
Whammo, Canuk will appear. He will tell you some babble about the history of
Zork and whatnot. Show him the disk pieces. He will now transport you into
the ship in a bottle. Go into the bottle, and wander around. The time limit,
I don't think is enforced (if it's really 20 minutes, it's MUCH more than you
need). Get onto the ship, and go up the stairs, and you will see a number,
write it down. Now go back downstairs, and down the stairs again. Pick up
the rag off the cabinet, and zoom in on the safe. Enter the number you just
wrote down into the safe, and open it. Now take the disk piece and the rusty
metal thing out of it. Once you've done this, take your mirror, and put it in
your hand (ie your mouse cursor shows you holding it). Exit the boat. Canuk,
who you may have noticed by now, is controlled by Morpheus, will try to turn
you into a duck. But since you are holding the mirror, it will reflect back
at him. Now take the scroll, and feed it to the duck, he will lay an egg.
Take the egg, and exit the house. Now cut the egg open with your knife. And
you will have the scroll (I don't think this affects the gameplay, but it's
nice to have:)).
Next thing off, get back onto the boat (show the ferryman the coin again,
and of course ring the bell a few times to get him there) and find your way
back out of the forest. Now another quick thing to do is to go into town and
show the blacksmith (second building on the right) your rusty old sword. Get
him to fix the sword, and pay any fee he requests. He may tell you to come
back in a little while, just wander around until it is fixed.
Next thing is to go into the other forest, the left fork from the fork in
road from the path out of town. Once in, the first thing you should do is the
following, go NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, and you will be at a tree. Hit the
tree with your sword, and it'll break the sword (and also drop some coins on
the ground) take the coins. Now exit the forest again, via NORTH WEST WEST
SOUTH, and go to the blacksmith. Complain to him that your sword is broken.
He will mumble something, and give you a receipt for a new sword. Now go to
the center of town again, and turn around, to face the bridge, go to the left,
and you will be at Ben's boathouse. Talk to Ben. Ask him about the knot he's
holding in his hand. Show him the picture of Rebecca if you've taken it buy
now, and he will give you a sealed letter (if you don't have the picture yet,
no rush, don't worry) and finally, give him the receipt from the blacksmith,
and he will give you the True Dwarven Sword of Zork. How nice. Now back to
the forest (on the fork left). This a pretty vicious forest and has lots of
nasty things in it, and is rather big, as well, here again is another attempt
at mapping it:)

The metallic tree has already been explained. To get past the bowman, you
must make sure to have some milk in your containers. Just give him the milk
and he will go away, and leave his bow and arrows. Take them. Next go to the
Grue/Fairy area. It will say "It's dark, just like Grues like it." Light a
match (the same way you would use your inventory anywhere else), and the fairy
you just rescued will talk to you, be real friendly with her, and she'll give
you fairy dust (you might have to talk to her once or twice to get the dust
from her). Next stop, the tree spirit. Get her to babble her annoying songs.
She really isn't very useful at all. So just get out of there when you get
bored. Now the leaf trap. When you see the leaves, drop something in it (not
your sword) the trap will be sprung. Now just use your sword to cut your
leaves, and whatever you threw in will fall to the ground, just pick it up.
Now go to the boar memorial. Strike the memorial thrice (three times) with
your sword, and you will get another disk piece. You can go to the spider,
but you can't get past it yet anyway, so why bother, get out of this maze.
Next stop, get your bootie back to Canuk's House (go through the
whispering woods again). Now at his door, look at the magnet. Neat, eh? Pry
it off with you sword. Now stand there, holding the magnet. Use magnet with
whistle. Blow away on the whistle, and a vulture will come swooping down. Uh
oh! Not at all, this vulture will carry you to anywhere that you need to go
in the game! So just go to Pugney's Farm first, go to the barn again, (now
might not be a bad time to fill up on milk), and go to the left behind the
barn. You will be at the Vulture Pits. Pour the fairy dust onto the rotting
meat, and throw it. The vultures will come out and eat the meat and fall
asleep. Go into the pits and take the talon. Next, run over to the screen
one screen in front of Rebecca's house (it has signs to the cliffs and
Rebecca's house). Go to the left, and follow that path to the Cliffs of
Depression. Take the rope from the railing. Now go back into town, and go
back to Ben the boatman. Pay him for the boat. Zoom in on the boat, and take
the rats out of the box and put them into the motor. Now you will be at the
Witch's house. Go on inside, she won't bite. Ok, be careful what expressions
you show to the witch, just be friendly. Then show her the milk that you have
and she will let you take the bat cage, do so. Then show her the sealed
letter from Ben, and she will give you staff, take it. Then she's outta
there. Now you can either go through the swamp, or use the vulture to get
out. I recommend going through the swamp, you get 5 points for it. To do so,
you must walk one step out of the witch's house. Then take her staff, and
place it on the ground in front of you, if it falls in, it is not safe to walk
there, if it stands on it, you can proceed. I can't map that, as the swamp is
different for each person, and possibly each time. Just get out, its usually
not more than 7 or 8 steps. Once out of the swamp, first stop is going to be
west shanbar, that's on the above ground level of the map. Go first to the
mayor, and show him the Zorkian book (you got it from the Fool's Memorial),
he will translate a joke for you. Now go to Ms. Peepers (the schoolhouse) and
show her the book, she will tell you that Rebecca can translate it. Next stop
is back down below. Wander around until Rebecca shows up, and play her the
quote from Ms. Peepers about her being able to translate it, then show her the
book. Next off, go back to Witch Ita, and show her the book (if she's not
there, just wander around until she shows up again), and she will translate
one more joke. Then go to the blacksmith, and pay his fee, and he will
translate the last joke. Now go back to the Valley of the Vultures (Mountain
Pass, where you start the game) (remember just click anywhere on the map

knife to dig up the bonding plant. Now go back to the Cliffs of Depression.
Tie the rope to the tree, and climb down the side of the cliff and go into the
Comedy Club. Now playback the four jokes that the people just told you to
the audience. When you are done, Cliff will give you a disk piece. Now go to
the lighthouse. Give the keeper a piece of illuminyte, and show him your disk
pieces, he will give you the final piece. Go up to the top of the lighthouse
and tie the rope onto the railing using the cow-knot that Ben taught you.
Then tie the vulture talon onto the rope, and throw the rope across the river.
The talon will boomerang back and tie itself around the railing, and you will
have a nice rope bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the path to the Temple
Bel Naire. Take the shield from the statue, and go into the Temple. Show the
Holy Woman your sword and she will bless it for you. Now exit the Temple, and
turn around once. There will be a gateway in the right side of the screen,
follow that path to the dwarf camp. Talk to the Dwarven dudes, and they will
give you a hardhat. Take it. Then go up to the top left part of the screen
and go to the mining cart. Now this is very annoying. The path you must
follow to escape the mining maze is the following, where L is Left, R is
Right, and S is Straight. Make sure to only click once at each intersection,
as the dumb game buffers your mouse clicks and it will screw you up
occasionally. The path is L R S R L R S R L L R S. (By the way that puzzle
is easy, just write down each word the dwarves say to each other that is Left,
Right or Straight). Once out, you will be at the temple of the muses. From
left to right, but the following items on each of the statues :
1) Staff
2) Talon
3) Thermozz
Center) Nothing
4) Helmet AND Box
5) Shield
6) Tele-Orb
Then place the disk pieces on the bowl in front, and hit a button (green I
think I hit, I don't think it matters) watch the ensuing stupidity, and they
will reassemble your disk into a whole again. The center statue is different,
he is not a muse, but the "Catcher" (detailed in the Mayor's filing cabinets).
Make sure to pick up all the items once you are done. Now take the vulture
down to the Hero's Memorial. Take the right fork in the road, and go into the
Troll Cave. Put your helmet on and all will be lit up. At the first troll,
swing left, the next, swing up, the third, swing down. Then at the troll
king, click on "Threatening" until he wimps out and gives you the necklace.
Now go back to the green forest, and find your way to the spider. Show the
spider the necklace, and he will wimp out. Then go up Flood Control Damn #3
(!), and fill up your flask from the "backside of the water". Now go to the
whispering woods, and go one space in, and release the bats. Pick up the bat
guano, and drop it into the flask with the clear water (from FCD#3). You now
have an invisibility potion. Now off to the Cliffs of Depression. From
there, turn around and go to the left. Throw the Flying Disk of Frobozz, and
it will dispel the illusion.
Go forward into the castle, and shoot the bow and arrow at the gates, and
the hand will open the door for you. Once in, an orc will start attacking
you. Drink the invisibility potion, and then play back the recording of
Alexis the hellhound barking, the orc will wimp out and run away. Now, at the
Citadel Bridge, throw *EVERYTHING* that you have at the bridge, until you have
NOTHING left in your inventory. The bridge will come back up. SAVE THE GAME
NOW:) Go over the bridge for your final confrontation with Morpheus. A game
of Survivor. Only now you play Trembyle instead of Canuk, which makes the
game VERY hard. Here is the pattern to win, the number represents what order
you should make the moves in. If he blocks the move, pass your turn, and he
will move to another space, do NOT deviate from the course I give here, or you
will have to forfeit and will have to start over again.
0 5 12 9 0=Where you start
11 8 1 4 14=Where you will end
6 3 10 13 C=Where Canuk/Morpheus will die
C 14 7 2
Again, if he blocks your move, do NOT go anywhere else, just pass your turn,
he MUST move, he is not allowed to pass. Once you complete this, you've
won the game! Congratulations.
The ending of the game is kinda bad, but the game itself is pretty good, I
enjoyed it a lot. Some of the puzzles (the bra box) were ridiculous, and some
of the scenes (the Mining Maze, COME ON! Infocom games are NOT coordination
games) really annoyed me, but all in all it was a pretty good game. I don't
know where to find the remaining 7 points, but obviously it isn't very
important. Till next time, seeya!

here goes Chris...
Return To Zork
Almost-Full-Point Solution
NOTE : At certain points in the solve I will tell you to use an item, and not
tell you to pick it up again, or just mention the existence of an item in a
certain room. Make sure you pick EVERYTHING up (with the exception of the
things I tell you NOT to pick up:)). Anything that you leave behind, you
should go back and get.
Hey. Well you're playing Return to Zork, and are stucker than stuck, and
need some help. Look no further, here's the solution to the game! I didn't
get all the points (only 218/225) but the end is there either way, and here's
how to get to it. I also believe there are a few parts of the game that are
just unsolveable (ie the oven, and anything relating to hellhounds).
You start off in a mountain pass. A quick thing to do is pick up the rock
from the lower left hand part of the screen and throw it at the vulture. Then
you might be tempted to get the bonding plant from down below. Don't. My
recommendation is to wait till later in the game to get the plant. So
instead, just mosey down the path to the lighthouse. Enter the lighthouse and
babble with the lighthouse keeper. He really doesn't have very much
interesting to say at this point, so what you say doesn't matter very much.
Next go outside the lighthouse again. Now if you head down the path, you'll
be at the road to the south, unsolveable, so instead, go around the back of
the lighthouse. From here, cut the vines from the fence, and bind the wood
panels together with the vines. Now you have a raft, use it to go one space
down the river, and get off at the bridge.
You are now in the town of West Shanbar, facing the town-proper. First
easy thing to do is go to the building on the far right, it's a destroyed
hardware store. Go in, and get the box and the crank. You don't need the
mice, so leave them there. Next stop should be the close house on the right,
the school house. To get in, bang the bell with the crank or the dagger. The
school teacher will first quiz you with the games first copy-protection, and
then give you a notebook in which you can record all of your travels in the
game. Next stop is the Town Hall, close building on the left, go in, talk to
the mayor, and whatever. Then read ALL the files in the cabinets. It's a lot
of reading, and you'll be referring back to it later on (and a lot of this
solve won't make any sense without reading it). Then after you leave Town
Hall, face center of town, and turn around from there, go off to the left of
the screen, towards the mill. Go into the mill, and you'll have your first
encounter with Boos. First of MANY. Go out the other door into the backyard
of his house, and grab the key from the floor, and pull the chock out of the
water wheel (I don't actually know what this accomplishes, but it gives you
two points, so what the heck:)). Go back through the house, and back to town,
where you can now go to the building on the far left. Use the key to unlock
the door. Go in, grab the battery off the shelves, and the money and tickets
out of the cash register. Then go back to facing the bridge, and on the far
right side of the screen, your mouse arrow will point down, go this way. Here
you will meet the waif. Give him the tickets, and he will give you a gift, it
looks like a piece of lint, but it's very important later in the game. From
here, go back the old mill, and do the following. When Boos pours you a
drink, pour the drink out into the plant, then make a toast with him (glasses
clinking icon) then drink the empty glass. Repeat this four times, and he
will pass out, opening up the Great Underground Empire. But wait, you're not
done yet. Leave the mill, and re-enter it, and repeat the entire
pour/toast/drink process again, but only three times this time, after he says
"Damn Few.", click on the "Don't Drink & Drive" icon, and he will give you his
car keys. OK, don't get too excited here, you can't drive his car, but you
can now enter the GUE. Before you leave this room, also be sure to grab the
flask off of the ground by his feet.
Go down the passage you just opened, and you will be at a door, open the
door with the car keys, and you are now in a new mill! Exit this mill, and
you are now within the GUE. Follow the path straight, into East Shanbar.
First building to enter is the second one on the left. Go into Moodock's
Armoury, and have a chat with him, then play a game of Survivor (he'll explain
the rules to you). It's also impossible for you to lose in this incarnation
of Survivor (you will play a much harder version later on), so just futz
around, and once you win he will give you a sword, and a coin (not a Zorkmid
though). Next, out of the building, turn around from the center of town, and
face the bridge. Cross the bridge, and go to the left. At the Fool's
Memorial, pick up the book off of the floor. From here, proceed down the left
path again, and follow it into Snoot's Farm. Enter through the window, as the
door is locked. Enter the door second from the left, and in that room will be
the lovely Rebecca Snoot, brushing her teeth. She'll knock you out for
breaking and entering, however. When you get up, talk to her and she'll quiz
you with the second and final copy-protection of the game. Once you're out of
that predicament, from the main room, go into the door on the right side of
the room, zoom in on the cabinet, and grab the mirror from the desk. Then
again, from the main room, go through the center archway, and in the kitchen
take the soap off the sink, the thermozz from the table, and open the
refridgerator and take the meat out. (The meat will rot, don't worry about
it, you want it to rot.) From there, put the soap in the sink, and run the
water on it, you will now have soapy water, wash the waif's gift in the soap,
and lo and behold, you have a piece of a mysterious disk. Neat. In the
kitchen is also an oven that blows up if you turn it on (Why it does this is
beyond me) and a box of cereal that you can't pick up. Again, from the main
room again, go into the door on the far left. In there is Alexis the
poodle/hellhound. Click on her and she will growl at you. Nothing else is
necessary from the dog, but her growling is necessary for you to win the game.
After you leave the building, on random occasions, Rebecca will come and meet
you out on the road. When you do see her, take her picture.
Next stop is the carrot silo. From the front of Rebecca's house, go up
and to the right, and you will be at the carrot silo. Take the crank, and put
it on the silo door, and crank it clockwise. The silo will explode and you
should take some of the carrots. From here, again go up and to the right, and
you will be at the Pugney farm. Go to the red house first, and DON'T take the
box off the ground. Go to the door, and open the window and talk to Pugney.
Be Apologetic, and he will let you take the box off the front lawn. Once you
finish with him, grab the box, and now go to the blue barn behind the red
house. Go inside with the cow, and take a clump of hay from the ground (left
bottom corner) pick it up, drop it again, and then take the matches and light
the hay on fire. Now warm your hands by the fire, and milk the cow with the
thermozz. Then feed the cow the carrots. Next stop, back to Rebecca's house,
and go into her kitchen (or bathroom) and fill the flask (not the thermozz)
with water. Now go back to East Shanbar and go to the last building on the
left. Pull lever 1 and the top of the incinerator will open. Throw the bra
box into the incinerator, and pull lever 1 again. Then pull lever 2, and
zoom in on the drawer. Pour the water from the flask onto the hot wire, and
pick the wire up.
Now take that wire, and enter the first building on the left (from the
center of town) and use the wire to pick the lock. Shake the cereal box.
Shake it again. Take the whistle. Next pick up the rats, and IMMEDIATELY put
them into the box you picked up earlier. (The meat you picked up, by now,
should have rotted away) Make SURE you put the rats into the box, or you
will die a quick death. Next up is go from the center of town, straight out,
to the fork in the road, pick the left one first. Pick the tiles up off the
floor, and then turn around, and pick the frame up off the floor. Drop the
tiles into the frame, and you have a lovely word puzzle. The solution to the
puzzle is "Water unseen at falls mix with bat dropping yields potion for", and
once you get that far, the last block will fall into place, "invisibility".
Now, in the same place, twirl around once more, and pick up the disk piece and
the two pieces of illuminyte off the floor. From here, go back to the center
of town, and enter the first building on the right (by this point most people
will be telling you that you stink). Buy a room from Molly Kettle, and go up
to your room in the elevator. Enter the room, and place the illuminyte rocks
onto the nightstand. Then zoom in on the monitor, and turn the radio on.
Then turn the lights off. You will have a dream about Morpheus, the head
bad-guy of the game. Next, get up, turn the lights back on, and take your
illuminyte back (make sure to turn the lights on first). Exit this building
now.
Now for the hard parts. There are now two mazes to deal with. One is
rather vicious, and one is just annoying because of what you have to do. The
first woods we will discuss is the Whispering Woods, the right fork in the
road from the path straight out of town. First things first, however. Go
back to the silo, grab more carrots. Go back to the cow, pour your thermozz
milk into the flask, and then milk the cow again (it must be done the same way
as earlier). Now go to the Whispering Woods. Once you enter, your vision
will start deteriorating. Once the comment reads "Can you see the Galactic
Milky-Way?", drink ALL the milk you have, it should say that your vision is
now good enough to break any spell. If it says this, and gives you five
points, your done. If not, repeat the same process over again (milking cow,

etc), and the second time it will give you the points (I had to do it twice).
Once this is accomplished, here is a map of the woods.

T TTTTT T T TTT T T=Tree or rock (wall essentially)
T T T T x=exit
T TTT TTT T TTT T
T T T T T
T TTT T TTT TTT T
T T T T T T T Whispering Woods
T TTT T T T T T T NOTE : Due to an annoying way that this game's
T T T T T T creators made the maps, I have to show one
T TTT TTT T T T T tree as two. So it is actually only six
T T T T T T T paces from the entrance straight south, not
TTTTTTTTTTTTTxTTT 12 as it may seem.
Ok, so my map-drawing facilities aren't first class. But you get the
picture. Once you get out of the maze, you may have noticed a whispering in
the woods (wow what a coincidence) it says "two rings begin, three rings
return" (or maybe it's vice-versa, anyway, that irrelevant). You will now be
standing at a dock with a bell. Ring it twice (or is it three? Again,
irrelevant, just ring it again if the ferryman doesn't come on two). Now the
ferryman will arrive with his hand extended. Show him the coin Moodock gave
you, and he will ferry you across the river. You are now on Canuk's Island.
Go to his house. At the door, you will see a magnet on top of the door.
We'll be getting that later:) Once inside, you will see a duck, a ship in a
bottle, a scroll, and blueprints. Take the scroll and read it to the duck.
Whammo, Canuk will appear. He will tell you some babble about the history of
Zork and whatnot. Show him the disk pieces. He will now transport you into
the ship in a bottle. Go into the bottle, and wander around. The time limit,
I don't think is enforced (if it's really 20 minutes, it's MUCH more than you
need). Get onto the ship, and go up the stairs, and you will see a number,
write it down. Now go back downstairs, and down the stairs again. Pick up
the rag off the cabinet, and zoom in on the safe. Enter the number you just
wrote down into the safe, and open it. Now take the disk piece and the rusty
metal thing out of it. Once you've done this, take your mirror, and put it in
your hand (ie your mouse cursor shows you holding it). Exit the boat. Canuk,
who you may have noticed by now, is controlled by Morpheus, will try to turn
you into a duck. But since you are holding the mirror, it will reflect back
at him. Now take the scroll, and feed it to the duck, he will lay an egg.
Take the egg, and exit the house. Now cut the egg open with your knife. And
you will have the scroll (I don't think this affects the gameplay, but it's
nice to have:)).
Next thing off, get back onto the boat (show the ferryman the coin again,
and of course ring the bell a few times to get him there) and find your way
back out of the forest. Now another quick thing to do is to go into town and
show the blacksmith (second building on the right) your rusty old sword. Get
him to fix the sword, and pay any fee he requests. He may tell you to come
back in a little while, just wander around until it is fixed.
Next thing is to go into the other forest, the left fork from the fork in
road from the path out of town. Once in, the first thing you should do is the
following, go NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, and you will be at a tree. Hit the
tree with your sword, and it'll break the sword (and also drop some coins on
the ground) take the coins. Now exit the forest again, via NORTH WEST WEST
SOUTH, and go to the blacksmith. Complain to him that your sword is broken.
He will mumble something, and give you a receipt for a new sword. Now go to
the center of town again, and turn around, to face the bridge, go to the left,
and you will be at Ben's boathouse. Talk to Ben. Ask him about the knot he's
holding in his hand. Show him the picture of Rebecca if you've taken it buy
now, and he will give you a sealed letter (if you don't have the picture yet,
no rush, don't worry) and finally, give him the receipt from the blacksmith,
and he will give you the True Dwarven Sword of Zork. How nice. Now back to
the forest (on the fork left). This a pretty vicious forest and has lots of
nasty things in it, and is rather big, as well, here again is another attempt
at mapping it:)

TTTTTTTTTTTTT+TTT\TTT
The metallic tree has already been explained. To get past the bowman, you
must make sure to have some milk in your containers. Just give him the milk
and he will go away, and leave his bow and arrows. Take them. Next go to the
Grue/Fairy area. It will say "It's dark, just like Grues like it." Light a
match (the same way you would use your inventory anywhere else), and the fairy
you just rescued will talk to you, be real friendly with her, and she'll give
you fairy dust (you might have to talk to her once or twice to get the dust
from her). Next stop, the tree spirit. Get her to babble her annoying songs.
She really isn't very useful at all. So just get out of there when you get
bored. Now the leaf trap. When you see the leaves, drop something in it (not
your sword) the trap will be sprung. Now just use your sword to cut your
leaves, and whatever you threw in will fall to the ground, just pick it up.
Now go to the boar memorial. Strike the memorial thrice (three times) with
your sword, and you will get another disk piece. You can go to the spider,
but you can't get past it yet anyway, so why bother, get out of this maze.
Next stop, get your bootie back to Canuk's House (go through the
whispering woods again). Now at his door, look at the magnet. Neat, eh? Pry
it off with you sword. Now stand there, holding the magnet. Use magnet with
whistle. Blow away on the whistle, and a vulture will come swooping down. Uh
oh! Not at all, this vulture will carry you to anywhere that you need to go
in the game! So just go to Pugney's Farm first, go to the barn again, (now
might not be a bad time to fill up on milk), and go to the left behind the
barn. You will be at the Vulture Pits. Pour the fairy dust onto the rotting
meat, and throw it. The vultures will come out and eat the meat and fall
asleep. Go into the pits and take the talon. Next, run over to the screen
one screen in front of Rebecca's house (it has signs to the cliffs and
Rebecca's house). Go to the left, and follow that path to the Cliffs of
Depression. Take the rope from the railing. Now go back into town, and go
back to Ben the boatman. Pay him for the boat. Zoom in on the boat, and take
the rats out of the box and put them into the motor. Now you will be at the
Witch's house. Go on inside, she won't bite. Ok, be careful what expressions
you show to the witch, just be friendly. Then show her the milk that you have
and she will let you take the bat cage, do so. Then show her the sealed
letter from Ben, and she will give you staff, take it. Then she's outta
there. Now you can either go through the swamp, or use the vulture to get
out. I recommend going through the swamp, you get 5 points for it. To do so,
you must walk one step out of the witch's house. Then take her staff, and
place it on the ground in front of you, if it falls in, it is not safe to walk
there, if it stands on it, you can proceed. I can't map that, as the swamp is
different for each person, and possibly each time. Just get out, its usually
not more than 7 or 8 steps. Once out of the swamp, first stop is going to be
west shanbar, that's on the above ground level of the map. Go first to the
mayor, and show him the Zorkian book (you got it from the Fool's Memorial),
he will translate a joke for you. Now go to Ms. Peepers (the schoolhouse) and
show her the book, she will tell you that Rebecca can translate it. Next stop
is back down below. Wander around until Rebecca shows up, and play her the
quote from Ms. Peepers about her being able to translate it, then show her the
book. Next off, go back to Witch Ita, and show her the book (if she's not
there, just wander around until she shows up again), and she will translate
one more joke. Then go to the blacksmith, and pay his fee, and he will
translate the last joke. Now go back to the Valley of the Vultures (Mountain
Pass, where you start the game) (remember just click anywhere on the map
now, and the vulture will bring you there). Click on the sign, and use the
knife to dig up the bonding plant. Now go back to the Cliffs of Depression.

Comedy Club. Now playback the four jokes that the people just told you to
the audience. When you are done, Cliff will give you a disk piece. Now go to
the lighthouse. Give the keeper a piece of illuminyte, and show him your disk
pieces, he will give you the final piece. Go up to the top of the lighthouse
and tie the rope onto the railing using the cow-knot that Ben taught you.
Then tie the vulture talon onto the rope, and throw the rope across the river.
The talon will boomerang back and tie itself around the railing, and you will
have a nice rope bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the path to the Temple
Bel Naire. Take the shield from the statue, and go into the Temple. Show the
Holy Woman your sword and she will bless it for you. Now exit the Temple, and
turn around once. There will be a gateway in the right side of the screen,
follow that path to the dwarf camp. Talk to the Dwarven dudes, and they will
give you a hardhat. Take it. Then go up to the top left part of the screen
and go to the mining cart. Now this is very annoying. The path you must
follow to escape the mining maze is the following, where L is Left, R is
Right, and S is Straight. Make sure to only click once at each intersection,
as the dumb game buffers your mouse clicks and it will screw you up
occasionally. The path is L R S R L R S R L L R S. (By the way that puzzle
is easy, just write down each word the dwarves say to each other that is Left,
Right or Straight). Once out, you will be at the temple of the muses. From
left to right, but the following items on each of the statues :
1) Staff
2) Talon
3) Thermozz
Center) Nothing
4) Helmet AND Box
5) Shield
6) Tele-Orb
Then place the disk pieces on the bowl in front, and hit a button (green I
think I hit, I don't think it matters) watch the ensuing stupidity, and they
will reassemble your disk into a whole again. The center statue is different,
he is not a muse, but the "Catcher" (detailed in the Mayor's filing cabinets).
Make sure to pick up all the items once you are done. Now take the vulture
down to the Hero's Memorial. Take the right fork in the road, and go into the
Troll Cave. Put your helmet on and all will be lit up. At the first troll,
swing left, the next, swing up, the third, swing down. Then at the troll
king, click on "Threatening" until he wimps out and gives you the necklace.
Now go back to the green forest, and find your way to the spider. Show the
spider the necklace, and he will wimp out. Then go up Flood Control Damn #3
(!), and fill up your flask from the "backside of the water". Now go to the
whispering woods, and go one space in, and release the bats. Pick up the bat
guano, and drop it into the flask with the clear water (from FCD#3). You now
have an invisibility potion. Now off to the Cliffs of Depression. From
there, turn around and go to the left. Throw the Flying Disk of Frobozz, and
it will dispel the illusion.
Go forward into the castle, and shoot the bow and arrow at the gates, and
the hand will open the door for you. Once in, an orc will start attacking
you. Drink the invisibility potion, and then play back the recording of
Alexis the hellhound barking, the orc will wimp out and run away. Now, at the
Citadel Bridge, throw *EVERYTHING* that you have at the bridge, until you have
NOTHING left in your inventory. The bridge will come back up. SAVE THE GAME
NOW:) Go over the bridge for your final confrontation with Morpheus. A game
of Survivor. Only now you play Trembyle instead of Canuk, which makes the
game VERY hard. Here is the pattern to win, the number represents what order
you should make the moves in. If he blocks the move, pass your turn, and he
will move to another space, do NOT deviate from the course I give here, or you
will have to forfeit and will have to start over again.
0 5 12 9 0=Where you start
11 8 1 4 14=Where you will end
6 3 10 13 C=Where Canuk/Morpheus will die
C 14 7 2
Again, if he blocks your move, do NOT go anywhere else, just pass your turn,
he MUST move, he is not allowed to pass. Once you complete this, you've
won the game! Congratulations.
The ending of the game is kinda bad, but the game itself is pretty good, I
enjoyed it a lot. Some of the puzzles (the bra box) were ridiculous, and some
of the scenes (the Mining Maze, COME ON! Infocom games are NOT coordination
games) really annoyed me, but all in all it was a pretty good game. I don't
know where to find the remaining 7 points, but obviously it isn't very
important. Till next time, seeya!

Thanks for the info, Stephen. These _are_ the ones I'm looking for, and
although I don't have the AUD$ rate in mind right now, the price looks sort
of like what I had in mind.
I have a few disks (360k and 1.4MB) of Motorola, Texas Instruments and National
Semiconductors stuff around, and I'm just waiting for that sort of info to be
released on CDs.
Best regards from Sunny South Africa, and thanks again.

BL> I was wondering if anyone could recommend a CD-ROM game
I am in the middle of "Wrath of the Gods". It is almost as good as Myst,
some might say better than Myst. It is quite similar in that you go about
solving puzzles but you keep an inventory of stuff and do die on occasion.
Dying, however, is good as you end up in Hades and often find out how
-not- to die the next time. "Wrath" is based on Greek myths. Give it a
try.

Subj: Dracula Unleased--Help Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Well, I'm new to the CD game ... I haven't used one yet. I bought Dracula
Unleased the other day, and I can't get it to work for the life of me.
According to the paperwork, my system is compatable, and I'm using a systems
disk, as the paperwork advised.
Is there something I'm missing? Or are all games going to be this big of
a pain? The problem is that I can't free up enough memory. Maybe someone
can help ...
Here is what I've put on my system disk for the config and autoexec. I've
tried messing around with some of the settings, but there's no effect on
the memory required. The only thing I've actually been able to do is load
in my emm manager ... Doing that increases the amount of memory required
for the game to operate, but heck, it was at least a change.
REM Viacom New Media. CD-ROM boot disk. 1993
FILES = 30 {I've started with both files and buffers at 20}
BUFFERS= 30
STACKS=9,256 {I didn't have the stacks in originally}
DEVICE=c:\dos\SETVER.EXE
DEVICE=c:\dos\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=c:\DEV\MTMCDD.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:300 /A:0 /M:10 /T:3 /I:3
DEVICE=c:\dos\mouse.sys
I've tried using the emm386.exe in the config.sys, but it only eats
up more memory. I also tried reducing the /M:10 value to 2, but it
had no effect on the memory required.
The autoexec.bat reads:
REM Viacom New Media. CD-ROM boot disk. 1993
@Echo OFF
PROMPT $p$g
PATH a:\DOS;
c:\BIN\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001
I've toyed around with the path by moving everything I needed onto the
systems disk (although I didn't move all the cd devices onto the systems
disk) Still, no effect. I keep getting the same thing! Arrrg!
Can anyone help?

MS> BBS-Ready * Includes source code and utilities for C,
I have purchased SourceBox1. That CD is all screwed up. What
gets me is the lousy attitude of the publisher, Dave Perkovich
of Damart Enterprises. One of the many mistakes of this CD is
that the same FILES.BBS is in both directory 004 and 005. I
called Dave Perkovich after you gave me his number and I also
sent him several messages about it. The only response I received
from him was a message: "The only available file listing is what
is found in the directory."
I do mind so much the publisher's mistakes. I do mind the
publisher's "Up Your's" attitude about it. The hell freezes over
before I buy any of his CDs in the future.

This type of information has it's good points and bad. It's good to know
so that buyers can ask them if an alternate company is being looked into
for service contracts to maintain their warranties.
On the other hand, a "rumor" passes very quickly thru the nets and can
drive a financially troubled company right over the brink.
Since you have an internet address I took a chance and crash mailed
a message to the BBS your message in here came thru, from Scottsdale.
I'm hoping to hear from you netmail ASAP. If you didn't get the
crash mail, I wanted to know if you were a relation of John Potts.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
These days, CD-ROMs are packaged in many different packaging styles. Most of
the game discs for example will be packed in a nice p-case (jewel case);
however, many of them will be packaged in the thin paper or plastic type
sleeve or even the cardboard mailers. It is perfectly ok to store the disc in
the same package it came in.
I work for a CD manufacturing company and it has just been my observation
about the various packaging styles. I wouldn't worry too much about damaging
the disc unless you just are blatantly harsh to them. If you can find some
sort of small envelope that is like a 5 x 7", they will do just find.
But, jewel case packaging is not necessarily a given as there are many other
methods being tried and tested.

Yes, for example:
doom -devparm -file forest.wad
50" screen with surround sound.... hope you have a charge card at the
local funny farm :-) sounds pretty intense
and if you connect via modem use:
sersetup -com2 <-deathmatch> -file forest.wad
where < > is optional, substitute YOUR com number com1, com3, com4 etc
NOTE BENE : this method assumes you've already established connection
between the two modems via redirected DOS commands (which is the only way
that works for me)

JT> I've tried rig job I could think of to get it to work... If anyone has

Pro Audio Spectrum, i have one too but mine has a SCSI interface, any
SCSI CD ROM's will work with this, you should not haave trouble
connecting the interface cable, I hope thats what you are having trouble
with, or is it the audio cable ? This Sony CD does it have 50 pin
interface or something around 40 pins.......

What it sounds like is that the game is not configured to play sound and that
probably you don't have a hardware problem at all. Try and see if the game has
a menu that you can pull down to set the sound. Also I have seen that there is
a program that you run that will set the settings you need for the game before
you run the program. Keep the IRQ and DMA settings handy if the program does
not automatically scan to see what they are set at you will have input it
manually. If that doesn't help it would be handy to find out exactly what game
you are trying to run.
Cheers,

CS>any ideas of what to try? I hate to just give up and say it's
CS>incompatible.
There are only a few CD-ROM discs that I have problems with, using my own
Mitsumi. In one case, it is a defective DIR on the CD itself (one of the early
Night Owls). In all other problems cases, it has been the lack of sufficient
memory available to deal with the huge directories on the discs.
There is an easy way to test.
You may already have a plain vanilla disk for your computer. That is, a
bootable system disk that has no files other than the two hidden DOS files and
COMMAND.COM. Make a copy of it. Add the files necessary to run your CD-ROM,
and nothing else. You'll have to build a proper autoexec.bat and config.sys no
doubt to load the CD-ROM support. Using this new vanilla disk, boot up the
system and try again. If it fails THIS time, you know it is almost surely the
drive or the disc. Otherwise, it is something else in the system; wise bettors
look at the memory you assigned with a jaundiced eye.
The sounds portion you'll have to deal with separately. But if the system
works with one disc, and not some other, that is not likely the problem you
mentioned.

That's true. You're going to have to bite the bullet, and pay their $6

Once the inquiry has gone through, THEN you can issue an insurance claim,
(If you paid the insurance fee). Isn't our Post Office wonderful! I say

yes, just get an external one that can attach via your parallel port
on the back of your laptop. The "backback," from compusa or usaflex
is always a good bet. They usually cost about four hundred bucks.
Hope this info helps you out,

ou obviously wern't at the same Dayton Hamvention I was at. Over the past 5
years the amount of computer gear available from reputable dealers at

At Starvector Software, we have made it our policy since 1987 to only
advertise titles which we actually have IN STOCK. There are many CD-ROM

small percentage of that quantity on hand. This creates delays and
frustration for you, and is the primary reason we have always elected to

Are there any good ways to store multiple CDs that aren't in jewel cases? If
so, can you suggest a place to find them? All of the local and mail-order
places I know have solutions that either (1) are based on jewel cases, or (2)
involve sliding the bare CD in and out of a "wallet", which I think can scratch
it.

Floptical refers to a 3.5 inch diskette that looks like pretty much like an
ordinary 1.44 mb diskette. In fact, the Floptical drive will happily read and
write 1.44 mb diskettes. The Floptical disk has "guide" marks (servo tracks)
prewritten before you buy it, and stores about 21 mb. It is a read/write
medium, so you can think of it as a big floppy. However, the media cost is
quite high (around $20 per disk).
Yes, they are "actual" drives, much like a regular floppy drive, or a Bernouli
or Syquest cartridge. You can use them just like any disk (though they are not
terribly fast).

I wholeheartedly second this comment. If people don't want to read an
advertisement they can skip passed it easily enough. There are quite a few
people like me who read this group to find out where to get goods deals on
CD's. The large number of advertisers simply means more price
competitiveness as far as I can see.

Well, you can find "free-except-for-shipping" discs in a few places. Check
the back pages of the PC magazines. Also, look for a message from Scott
Huffman...Profit Press is offering their demo disc...lots of shareware...
for $2.00. I've had it for quite awhile, and it's absolutely the best $2
you'll ever spend on a CD-ROM!
I've seen an ad (here or on CD-forsale) for Cream of the Crop 3 (the prior
version) at $8.95. It was well-reviewed but I don't have it so can't
confirm, but $9 is a pretty good price for a disc.
... If it wasn't for C, we would be using BASI, PASAL and OBOL!

Scott,
I recently ordered 2 cd's from your company.. Ordered them Ground
Transportation to save a little on the cost of delivery..
Couldn't be happier with the quality of the cd's or the cost.. For 31
bucks I got the T&A 2 the Maxx, The best of Shareware, and your cdrom benchmark
disc which has a suprising amount of shareware on it for my users.. The part
that impressed me the most was the fact that I ordered them at 2:00 pm in the
afternoon on a Thursday and received them before lunch the next day...
Again, I couldn't be happier. Keep up the good work and you can expect
to see more of my business in the future..

RM> (Im figurin' others will read this... ;-}
Depends...if it's like the NEC CDR-25BJ and it's hooked to a normal
SCSI adapter the standard NEC driver ought to work. If it's hooked
to a Pro Audio Spectrum 16 or another of Mediavision's adapter/sound
cards, you need to the the driver for the PAS16 from Mediavision
(1-510-770-0527 or 0968) or a fine OS/2 board near you. If it's
hooked to a SB16 or one of the other SB compatibles that have SCSI
Creative should have the drivers on their BBS or on the IBM BBS
(1-919-517-0001 the last I checked). Sorry I don't know the FREQ
addresses. I do know Mediavision and IBM's boards are just the
price of a phone call though.
hope that helps.

Cheryl I have a Mitsumi single speed and there is one disk that I have the same
problem on. There was only one way I could run it and when I say this, the
whole board will probably have something to say about the procedure. The CDrom
in question is my Hobbes OS/2 shareware disk. If I load it in the normal way,
the drive light comes on and stays on. What I have to do is open up the drawer
and slide the reading mechanism to the outer edge. When I do this, the CD
works well. Everytime I change to this CD I have to do this procedure. Before
you do this, load in the CD in question watch the light on the front cover.
Wheyou close the drawer watch the light. If it comes on for a couple of
seconds and then goes out and comes back on again in a few seconds and remains
on, do the above procedure and it should work fine. This is only a suggestion
and only seems to work on a Mitsumi single speed CDrom with the pull-out drive
that you lift on the cover to drop your CD in. The mechanism (black) slides
very easily and if you see it on the inner edge, slide it out to try the CD.
good luck.

Hello Jonathan!
JB>All-
JB> I just got my new CD-ROM installed and I am even more addicted than
JB>I had hoped. I even enjoy the "promotional" disks such as DiscPatch, On
JB>Hand, etc. Does anyone know where I can get some free "promotion-type"
JB>CD-ROMs? I would be very grateful...
See my advertisement for a Free CDROM disc in both this echo as well
as the CDROM_FORSALE echo and COMMERCIAL_FORSALE echo.
JB>REWARD:
Sell me Busty Babes v1. v.1 for $10.00, that would be reward enough :).
Take Care,

EE> Do you guys have a catalog? Do you ship to Canada?
Well we really don't have a catalog per se Ernest, but we do have a
flyer of our products with the current pricing. We only sell CD's
that we publish ourselves, so we're only looking at 27 CDROM discs.
I advertise all our complete product line in this echo as well as
the Commercial_Forsale and CDROM_ForSale echos. The best way to get
our newest flyer is to take advantage of our Free CDROM Disc offer.
In the past it had been exclusively available in the contiguous
United States, but we are now offering the CD to Canada Too!
I say it's the best way because if you simply want to get onto our
mailing list, you may have to wait a few months to get it, where as if
you opt. for the Free CD, the flyer goes out with the CD.
So to answer your second question, yes we do ship to Canada.
Please let me know if I can answer any other questions for you Ernest.

Yes, you now have the opportunity to be the proud owner of two
copies of MegaDemo 2. Tell you what though Steve, if you call and
order something else from us we have a new free cd that we're giving
away going by the name of CD-STONE. It has the same type of CDROM
Drive BenchMark and Test utilities as MegaDemo, but they have been
upgraded to what we consider to be a commercial level software
product. It will now read audio tracks as data and capture this
information to Windows .WAV files. Yes, you can now have Guns and
Roses blaring from your computer too!

I assume that you are using a single speed drive. What is hapeening is that
the computer is dropping sound and images to compensate for the slow speed of
your drive. You night want to try a cashing program (which will help a little
bit but not much <that should be spelt caching>) Next you can make a boot disk
getting rid of any TSR's that the game doesn't use. DON'T buy a new drive since
a 4x speed is arriving soon for $400 bucks. Hope that helps

It is from CD Rama and costs nothing to the first 10,000 callers aftrer that
it only costs 4.95 for that shipping and handling fee. To order just call
1-800-851-7770. This offer is only valid in the Continetal U.S. That really
ticks me off since I live up in the Great White North. I think that is

Whoopee, Yes it now works!!!!!! Thanks a million, it now run great with
super VGA graphics and awesome sound track. I have only played it a
little, but it appears to have great potential - it actually simulates
real battles, like the Falkland War... If you are thinking of buying this
I have seen it at a dealer here in Sydney, in a 3 pack with INCA which
is the best CD-ROM games I seen this far, and Strike Eagle III all for
79.00 dollars.. I will try the VPRMODE command with a couple of other
games that I have problems with and see how I go.. Thanks for your help.

Subj: Newer Panasonic 562b Drivers? Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I'm running a Panasonic CR-562B hooked up to my original old
SoundBlaster Pro, and am wondering what the most recent drivers are that
work best with this combination.
I can run quite happily with v4.11 of SBCD.SYS from Creative, but any of
their drivers after that won't recognise my drive... I note that they are
up to v4.17 or so now... I gather this is deliberate on their part to
punish me for not buying an (overpriced) CR-563 drive off them.
I can also run using CDMKE43.SYS OK, which is actually v4.03, although this
driver seems rather old and has the odd problem.
So... is there a later driver that will work for me incorporating fixes
etc.. and if so where can I download it please. Is there anywhere on
Compuserve perhaps?
Any help and or suggestions greatfully received.

As you can see there not 600+ Megabytes nor are there 4000 files.
The percentage is way out, according to my calcs there are only around 60%
dated 94. The dates bit is not strictly true either. There may be many files
DATED later than 1993, however there are also many DATED later than 93 but are
in fact originally dated many years earlier (they are not updates). The dates
have been altered. I saw many files where the Archive date and time +files
date/time + fileID.diz etc were all EXACTLY the same time and date.
I suspect that they are having problems finding 600+ megabytes of NEW files
every 3 months, so they are resorting to "Cheating" on some to keep up the
quota, perhaps they should look to every 4 months or even 6 months instead of 3
months for a release.

Usually caused by the CD not getting correctly centered on the spindle,
so there's too high an eccentricity as it rotates... prevents the servo

You need to have the cable correctly wired and correctly plugged between
the audio output on the player and the audio input on your SB card. If
it doesn't play at all, it's often because you have to pull the contacts
out and rearrange them at one end of the audio connections cord.

No, one copy of MSCDEX is enough. Just specify each of the three driver

the same way you do for the first one. Works fine here.

Get the Panasonic 562-B, it's about US$150-175 with interface and cables
and driver, motorized drawer, double-speed, caddyless... a nice drive.
What's more, it can take up to four daisychained drives on one interface
card, and even those interface cards can fit several into one machine
since they need neither DMA nor IRQ and can usually be configured to
many different I/O addresses. So they'll work with almost anything.
There's little reason, I think, to pay more.

I agree with you that putting 18 CD-ROM eggs all in one basket is
worrisome... if the drive goes down for a couple of weeks, you're DEAD
until it comes back up.
What I just did last Friday was to buy six Philips 205 single-speed
drives, with interface cards... total cost, less than $400 plus tax...
the downside is that you can't put them all in one machine, but the
upside is that if you're running a peer-to-peer LAN (like Little Big
LAN, which I like a lot) with several machines, you can put up to two or
three of them in each machine without too much trouble. And they are
REAL cheap, only about half again the price of a 5-1/4" floppy drive.
And of course, if you have problems it's likely to only affect that one
drive/machine, which gives you a lot greater reliability than you'll
ever get with something like the Pioneer changer. No long delays while
changing discs, either. Eighteen of the Philips drives, by the way,
would only cost you about $1200. Compare that with the price of the one
18-disc Pioneer (and with it, don't forget the SCSI card you'll need).
I think it's a dynamite solution for putting lots of storage on a
multi-node BBS, cheap.

It does a bit better than that. EZROM creates a semaphore that alerts others
wanting to access the same drive that it is in use and retries until it can get
through. Combined with the 612k transfer rate of the Pioneer, that translates
into virtually NO wait time for anyone. If you want to see what fast really
means, watch the 604X transfer a couple of megs from CD to HD...

That seems to be the only viable solution. The cost seems to range from 50
cents to $1.50, so I'll just have to enter "bargain-hunter" mode. It does seem
a shame that the manufacturers are trying to save what can't be more than 39
cents in the manufacturing cost.

You're right; Ziploc bags _would_ be better than the assorted thin packaging
materials some vendors use. :-)

I have more than a lifetime supply of 5 1/4 inch disk boxes, both cardboard and
the plastic ones Maxell was using at one time. (I also have a lifetime supply
of 5 1/4 inch disks, slightly used :-) .) So, are you suggesting that I simply
put the plastic-sleeved CD into the disk box? Yes, that's one way. I guess
this is one time it's OK to put "new wine into old wineskins."
Still, I'll probably opt for buying empty jewel boxes, simply for convenience
and neatness.

I recall reading about the early days of audio CDs: the disks were stored in a
wide variety of ways, all different, no two the same size. Early reviewers
were very vocal about wanting a uniform size container, and about how much
easier the jewel box was to handle. Plus the retail dealers wanted some shelf
uniformity. So the jewel box became _the_ standard for audio CDs.
But in the computer field, I guess it's the outer cardboard box that fits on a
bookshelf that's the standard for the retailer -- never mind what's inside --
books, disks, CDs, objects, etc. Which means the retailers aren't going to
sqwak about the "innards" of the product.
Of course, I've never been one to keep the entire cardboard box; I don't have
enough room on the bookshelves in my work area. So I fillet them, keeping the
diskettes in storage designed for them, and the manuals on my bookshelf. Which
is how I come to wonder what to do about the CDroms: the "naked" ones need some
protection from the chaos of my desk.
> But, jewel case packaging is not necessarily a given as there are
> many other methods being tried and tested.
I'm waiting for one of them to become proven. Maybe the CD-ROM industry has to
relive the early days of the audio CD industry. Or maybe someone will come up
with a great CD-ROM storage device and get rich solving the problem. :-)

Sorry you feel that way Nathan. The $.52 is for postage only.
The advertisement states that the charges involved are to cover both
the shipping, as well as the handling cost.
Note also, that the ad you have quoted only ran for one day. The owner
wanted to raise the price by $.50 as a result of switching the
mail packaging from a plain 6x9 envelope to to one which is bubble
lined. I got him to lower the charge back down to $2.00.
Nathan, if you feel that you did not get your money's worth in this

When you die in Land of Devastation and it tries to return to the system it is
not successful ! It gives the background back like it wants to redraw the main
menu then draws zig zags and semi-circles through the command bar of FXTerm,
and whenever you try to do anything it just ignores the mouse and beeps when
you try to hit the hotkeys, but never executes any of the functions... I have
had to disconnect without logoff twice (since I died twice) yesterday! also,
Legend Of the Red Dragon has hung on me twice.
Once was a daily time exceeded, I think, although I'm not sure, and last night
between 1 and 3 A.M. I had just defeated another user in an online battle, I
hit the L for list warriors, it showed me the first portion, paused with the
<More> prompt and that was it... I waited a few minutes and tried hitting any
key to continue, as normal, and it never did! I think the first time the board
tried to execute an out of time logoff without closing the door to return me to
the main system before logoff and just got confused... It Didn't crash though
because I was able to call back shortly after! I have no idea why it crashed
last night after it locked up... I tried calling all three nodes off and o
until about 4 am and it just wouldn't answer... At first I thought it was
doing a daily event, but not answering at all for several hours??? Did you
find a problem or had it fixed itself when you found it?
Sorry to ramble so much, but being a Corporate Technician I'm told I pay too
much attention to detail by friends sometimes, although in my profession it's
always helpful to gather as much information as possible when something does go
wrong to more easily determine the cause and create a better solution to
prevent reoccurrences...

well i'm not gonna shout back,but you as a retailer want this echo for your

nodes here in europe have to carry YOUR commercial stuff which only COSTS (us
over here) money but BRINGS money only to you dealers in the states !
how about an amicable solution ?
the nodes in europe carry your commercial stuff and you don't get bothered by
the gaming hints (or how about a contribution to bring the GAMING echos to
europe ;-) ).
keep ads to the 10 lines limit and just hit DEL if a gaming hint comes on your
screen !
that should keep all people happy and there would be no need for shouting ;-)

Hey Mike,
It has been over a month since you shipped my 6 of 7 discs and I still don't
have them yet. What class mail did you ship them at? I know you sent it
insured, but I think it should have been here by now. Also, have you sent the
WIN-Box 2 disc out yet? My Users are bugging me about them because I made it
public to them. What gives? In two weeks we can start a trace on it and I
would like to get the Insurance Number from your receipt so I can initiate
something on my end. Please give me the details.
Thanks.

I just checked again today and my box was empty. I am getting very impatient
as I have paid for the discs but not received anything. I talked with the
Accountable Clerk and he said the tracer must be initiated on your end. My
only concern is how much longer I will have to wait. It is not fair for me to
wait until someone else fixes their screw up.
To aid in determining what went wrong, please answer this echo and include the
complete address that you shipped it to. Also, how was it labeled? If you
pasted ( CD-ROMs ) all over the box, instead of classifying it as ( Computer
Media ) then it was probably stolen. Customs likes detailed descriptions, but
so do pilferers.
My intent is not to implicate anyone as to what happened between origin and
destination, but please understand my side of this situation.
By the way, that ( Return Receipt ) for $1.00 that the post office sells would
have kept this from happening. You could have seen exactly where it went and
who signed for it. Now, I'm in the dark, and severely upset.

The best thing to do is get a SCSI-Parallel adapter... which plugs
into your parallel port, with a pass-through so you can still print. Then
purchase an external SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) CD-ROM (NEC Makes
good ones) and plug it in, and set up the software. Hope this helps!

Dear All Who Read The Password That Did Not Work For 7th Guest,
I just got my game back and tried the code. Guess what! It didn't
work. So I went up to the store and checked the code. I think that I entered
the code right. If you want to, go up to any store that sells magazines and
look for a magazine that is "Electric ?????" something or other. Look on page
11(that is eleven as in 7-11 or Seven- Eleven)and look for an orange section on
the right hand side of the page that reads "For Your Cheatin' Hearts". Read
that and see if I explained it right.
OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!
There is also a great preview for The 11th Hour,(that's The Eleventh
Hour as in 7-11... wait, that took too long to type the last time I did it)the
amazing sequel to The 7th Guest.
I would put a preloaded tagline but I don't know where to find those.

It has to do with the memory more then the cpu, aa faster CPU is

reconfigure and allow maximum expanded memory and try then.

Well, I would recommend the MegaDemo that The Profit Group is currently
offering for $2.00 shipping. It had a lot of stuff that was pretty old but
it also had lots of .wav files, some .fli animations, swimsuit .gifs and
other types of .gifs. I think it was worth the $2.00. To get more info
about it, send a message to Scott Huffman and he can tell you how to get
the disc. I don't know of any other freebies but I can recommend Return To
Zork, The 7th Guest and Critical Path as being neat games. (Although I
wouldn't buy Critical Path at the store because it's to overpriced. Buy it
used if you do.)
Hope this info helps you along.

Well considering it is in ALL the national publications and was announced by
Media Vision over 2 weeks ago, I think you're safe in assuming that the company
is in big financial trouble. Rumors are passed by people who think the know
something but aren't sure. It would be irresponsible to say that MediaVision is
about to go out of business. It is correct that MeidaVision is in big financial
trouble according to their own press release. That doesn't make their card any
less of a product only a mismanaged company.

You must realize though that just because your BBS that you post from

no gaming echos at all. I'm sure people would ask for hints in that echo if

Subj: Softbank On Hand CD Rom Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I thought I would put in a small review for Softbank's "On Hand" CD
collection.
This CD contains over 200 commercial programs you install right to your hard
drive, after paying via credit card and 800 number.
This is a REAL neat idea! However:
The prices are _well_ above market value.
You get no docs or box...Just your disc (and maybe some E-docs.)
It's only $4.95, and you get a free version of WinCim with a $15 CI$ credit,
so it's worth it for that alone.
This would be a fantastic idea if only the prices were discounted to allow
for market value and lack of docs.

I'm not in a hurry, but when the quads come out, they'll probably be
priced pretty high. I may give it about three months *after* the
quads come out.
I have yet to see them advertised. But there's word (I think I was
reading PC Computing) that there are going to be CD-ROM's with an
IDE interface. Once again. I'd have to wait to see the price first.
Think one of those might be worthwhile?

This confrence limits ads to 10 lines MAXIMUM, and also targets information
content not just sales.
I suspect that CDROM_SALE will eventually take over ALL of the ads, once it
gets better and longer established (it's only been around a few months or a bit
less), similar to the HDCONF/HDSALE split of several years ago....

Depends on what you are looking for - some folks prefer one title, other folks
prefer another title.
The Mayo stuff gets generally high marks, though Home Medical Advisor Pro and

them to Mayo.

OW> which board you were going to switch to. Drop me a note.
Hi Oliver! I just logged on especially to chat with you! I wanted to let you
know I'm still working on your game. Also, after seeing all your graphics,
I've started experimenting a bit on my own with doing some graphics screens.
I'm surprised how easy it is to animate the screens. All ya have to do is draw
over something with the background color to "erase" it and move a little bit
and redraw it. It looks like it's moving when you do that. As good as you are
with graphics, you ought to fool around with animating your screens a little
bit.
I also discovered that when you chained your files together, you specified the
(I think it was) A drive. You don't have to specify the drive, although you
can, but if you don't, then it just assumes you mean the current drive. You
could go back thru your game taking out the drive specification in all your
chain commands and the game would run on whatever the current drive is!
Have you been doing any more programming? Are you familiar with the DRAW
command? If you are, could you tell me how to paint an area using DRAW? I
tried drawing a pinwheel and wanted to fill it with a different color. I
included the "P1, 0" at the end of the DRAW statement and made sure the curser
was in the middle of the object I wanted to paint, but it paints the whole
screen instead of just the object. I sure would appreciate any help.
Have you gotten my other messages? I've written to you on this board a couple
of times. Maybe my messages aren't getting to you. I'll keep writing anyway
and if you don't seem to be getting them, I'll ask the sysop to track them down
for you.
Chat atcha later...
Cindy

Hi Cindy Glad to be gabbing with you again. Yeah,I discovered already that if
I remove the drive from the chain statement everything works o.k. As for the
draw statement you are probably leaving a gap in the drawing and if this is so
the colors will fill the entire screen because there is no definite boundary.
It may be a bit longer to do but I start my draw statement with a pset in the
color I want the outline then when the drawing is finished use the origional
pset set coordinates in a PAINT statement. I hope this helps you. I won't be
talking to you for about a week. Goint to the mountains to see my family in
virginia. Benn about two years since I've seen them and mama is eighty now.
Wow,you are really going grat guns on this game thing. My ego is going to

As long as they are the same edition, there is no difference other
than the name. Software Toolworks does world marketing for Grolier.
In essence Grolier does the encyclopedia, STW does the marketing,

How do I know? I've got several at least several copies of each --

Hello everybody,
At the recent National Computor Show of SA, as well as the May94
edtition of 'Computor Shopper', a company called Sigma has showed
off a new video compression card called 'ReelMagic'. The demo at the
show was very impressive, as normal audio CD's for instance 'The Jazz
Singer', Niel Diamond, could be played as normal through a CD-Rom,
except the live show could be seen at 30 frames per second full screen
1024 by 768 at 32k colours. Very impressive.
Even more, movies such as 'The hunt for Red October' could be seen
played through the CD-Rom. Aparantly the musical CD's live, uses MPEG
compression. Good, so most CD-Roms can handle. BUT, I have been
informed that to be able to run the movies, one needs a CD-I CD-Rom,
for ie Sony 32, or whatever they bundle if you buy a bundle from them.
This requirement is also expressed as XA Class 2 chapter 2, or White &
Green book complaint!
Is the Nec 84-J, or the CDR 8VM, CDI complaint?? What drives exactly
are complaint?? Can someone please tell me where I could source these
CDs?
Regards,
Stephen Dyason.

Nope, CD32 is a 680x0 based machine, and the CD-Rom's on the PC have

They also use different formats..

XXX CD's just for the CD32 will come out, but XXX CD's for the PC again
will not work.sorry!, remember the CD-ROM for the PC has been around
longer than the CD32, so just wait longer. Best place to buy XXX CD's is
overseas.

The list of compatible's, for the CD32.

Not *ANY* PC disk's.
Programmers may use spare CD disk space to insert the code for the CD32, but
u maynot see that happen yet..
We have a CD32 at home.

Notice, it says the charge is for "shipping and handling", not for "postage".
That charge ALSO covers the packaging, the time somebody spent pulling the
order, the time somebody spent entering and verifying the order, and the
time somebody spent addressing the packaging.
It probably also goes a little way towards paying the rent on the warehouse
that holds it.
Given that CD-ROMs cost money to press, and master, just how much margin do
you think there is in a disc that costs $2.50 shipped?

Yes, I have seen advertised CD-ROM drives which can be attached via the

You will NOT get multimedia-type performance, but huge file collections,

You are welcome, Geoffrey. You will find that discs aren't quite as
fragile as most people think. You still have to treat them with
some care but having your slaves place them on silk pillows isn't
really necessary. Should something happen then most reputable
publishers will replace a damaged disc either for free or for
a modest payment to cover shipping. They probably will ask you
to send the damaged disc to them.
That last bit is only information from other users and from
talking to a number of publishers, not personal experience.
I've had cdrom for some time now, have a couple of hundred
discs, have never used caddies, use the floppy slip covers
when necessary, use reasonable care and so far have never
had a problem.
My next project is to use a couple of discs as coffee coasters
for a while to see just how much they can take. Might even try
that Frisbee thing. Cheers!

Why don't people just add the CD FOR SALE conference to their lists
and get out of here ? Whats the sense in a SPECIFIC CD sale conference
if noone picks it up.
Don't even try the poor excuse people gave, that noone picks up that
conference as almost EVERY dealer that I see here, is there also.
I solved part of the problem by adding TO and FROM "some" dealers here
to my twit filter. Just adding Joe Rinehart to the list eliminated 1/5
of the useless posts. I got very tired of EVERY single time I
downloaded a QWK packet and went to the CD conference, the first 1-5
posts were from or to him. I kid you not. Now I see no advertisements
except when I want to.

Hello everyone. I am a RA 2.01+ sysop and I just cashed in on a ZOOM
24K sysop deal not too long ago for the meager price of $105, and
came with a 7 year warranty.
They have modem deals for sysops. My question is, do they have hard
drive deals or cd-rom deals for sysops?
916-635-4157
P.S. I hear that DOS 5.0 has a limit on the amount of hard drive space
it will recognize. 518mb. Is that the total amount of hard drive space
it will recognize over many hard drives, or just one? And how do sysops
with 540mb or 1.2 gig hard drives compensate for this?

A standard CD-ROM spins the disc at a constant linear velocity of appx. 1.2
meters per second, yielding a data transfer rate of appx. 153 kbytes/sec.
A double-speed CD-ROM spins the disc twice as fast, yielding twice the DTR.
A triple-spin does 3 times as fast for 3 times the DTR.
Et Cetera.
>Does it mean that it is twice and fast in all areas of data transfer or what?
No - Average Access time is NOT related to DTR to any real degree, though the
higher DTR drives tend to be newer designs with faster Average Access times.
There ARE a few Double-Spin drives that have a SLOWER Average Access time than
the fastest of the Single-Spin drives.

I'm an aviation buff, and I've seen two CD-ROMs advertised that interest me
very much. One is Aircraft Encyclopedia; the other, a two-CD set, is Jets and
Props. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a review of either
anywhere. If anyone here is familiar with either or both of these, I'd very
much appreciate as much information about them as possible, and opinions as to
whether they're worthwhile.

Hello phil!
Here are some hints i need....
1. Exit from Channelwood...i've gone to the boys huts, picked up a blue page,
gone to the room where the red page is, picked it up (blue disappeared),
and tried pushing the 4 buttons on the device...only the last spoke
English...then went to the room where there is a "chopping" device that
"closes" when you click near it..
2. Where the pages are in the rooms on gear world...anything to do with the
thrones?
3. How to get to spaceship land...i've tried to match the notes on the piano
by moving the levers and listening to the clicks, since it doesn't play
music when i pull the lever...either I counted wrong, or it didn't work...
4. In general, are you supposed to bring both pages from each world?
Zeus.
P.S. IF possible (not asking you to...only if you have already done it..),
send me a file with the complete solutions?

As you can see there not 600+ Megabytes nor are there 4000 files.
The percentage is way out, according to my calcs there are only around 60%
dated 94. The dates bit is not strictly true either. There may be many files
DATED later than 1993, however there are also many DATED later than 93 but are
in fact originally dated many years earlier (they are not updates). The dates
have been altered. I saw many files where the Archive date and time +files
date/time + fileID.diz etc were all EXACTLY the same time and date.
I suspect that they are having problems finding 600+ megabytes of NEW files
every 3 months, so they are resorting to "Cheating" on some to keep up the
quota, perhaps they should look to every 4 months or even 6 months instead of 3
months for a release.

I have a 4 Pack of CD roms here that has all Hitachi CDR-3600U Cd roms in the
case. On the back of the CDrom's is a 40 pin connector. These CDrom's are
connected to a 4 connector cable and terminated at the rear going into a 37 Pin
connector. Looks like pin 40 is cut (On Purpose) and there is three wires
going to pin 38 or 39.
I cannot find out what type Controller card is necessary to run these 4 Drives.
Does anyone know what type Controller the Hitachi CDrom 3600U takes? Appreciate
any and all info.

That seems to be the only viable solution. The cost seems to range from 50
cents to $1.50, so I'll just have to enter "bargain-hunter" mode. It does seem
a shame that the manufacturers are trying to save what can't be more than 39
cents in the manufacturing cost.

You're right; Ziploc bags _would_ be better than the assorted thin packaging

I have more than a lifetime supply of 5 1/4 inch disk boxes, both cardboard and
the plastic ones Maxell was using at one time. (I also have a lifetime supply
of 5 1/4 inch disks, slightly used :-) .) So, are you suggesting that I simply
put the plastic-sleeved CD into the disk box? Yes, that's one way. I guess
this is one time it's OK to put "new wine into old wineskins."
Still, I'll probably opt for buying empty jewel boxes, simply for convenience
and neatness.

I recall reading about the early days of audio CDs: the disks were stored in a
wide variety of ways, all different, no two the same size. Early reviewers
were very vocal about wanting a uniform size container, and about how much
easier the jewel box was to handle. Plus the retail dealers wanted some shelf
uniformity. So the jewel box became _the_ standard for audio CDs.
But in the computer field, I guess it's the outer cardboard box that fits on a
bookshelf that's the standard for the retailer -- never mind what's inside --
books, disks, CDs, objects, etc. Which means the retailers aren't going to
sqwak about the "innards" of the product.
Of course, I've never been one to keep the entire cardboard box; I don't have
enough room on the bookshelves in my work area. So I fillet them, keeping the
diskettes in storage designed for them, and the manuals on my bookshelf. Which
is how I come to wonder what to do about the CDroms: the "naked" ones need some
protection from the chaos of my desk.
> But, jewel case packaging is not necessarily a given as there are

I'm waiting for one of them to become proven. Maybe the CD-ROM industry has to
relive the early days of the audio CD industry. Or maybe someone will come up
with a great CD-ROM storage device and get rich solving the problem. :-)

well i'm not gonna shout back,but you as a retailer want this echo for your

nodes here in europe have to carry YOUR commercial stuff which only COSTS (us
over here) money but BRINGS money only to you dealers in the states !
how about an amicable solution ?
the nodes in europe carry your commercial stuff and you don't get bothered by
the gaming hints (or how about a contribution to bring the GAMING echos to
europe ;-) ).
keep ads to the 10 lines limit and just hit DEL if a gaming hint comes on your
screen !
that should keep all people happy and there would be no need for shouting ;-)

I just checked again today and my box was empty. I am getting very impatient
as I have paid for the discs but not received anything. I talked with the
Accountable Clerk and he said the tracer must be initiated on your end. My
only concern is how much longer I will have to wait. It is not fair for me to
wait until someone else fixes their screw up.
To aid in determining what went wrong, please answer this echo and include the
complete address that you shipped it to. Also, how was it labeled? If you
pasted ( CD-ROMs ) all over the box, instead of classifying it as ( Computer
Media ) then it was probably stolen. Customs likes detailed descriptions, but
so do pilferers.
My intent is not to implicate anyone as to what happened between origin and
destination, but please understand my side of this situation.
By the way, that ( Return Receipt ) for $1.00 that the post office sells would
have kept this from happening. You could have seen exactly where it went and
who signed for it. Now, I'm in the dark, and severely upset.

The best thing to do is get a SCSI-Parallel adapter... which plugs
into your parallel port, with a pass-through so you can still print. Then
purchase an external SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) CD-ROM (NEC Makes
good ones) and plug it in, and set up the software. Hope this helps!

To answer your question, yes, they are different formats. Back about 10 years
or so, a meeting was held to discuss the format of CD-ROMS, and they came up
with a logical file structure referred to as High Sierra or ISO 9660 which is
used to produce CD-ROMS so that different ROM players could read the data on
the disc.
When data is pre-mastered it is organized (for lack of a better word) in
either the High Sierra format for PC's or the HFS format for the Macs. Many
publishers will produce different discs which can be read by each platform;
however, many ROMS today are produced such that both information is on the
single disc. Thus, the Macs only see and read that structure it recognizes
and the PCs only see and read that information it needs.
Hope that helps and hope it made sense.

That was one of the easiest for me. |] You have to position the bishops
so that they cover the whole chessboard without covering each other.
(The Bish moves diagonally if you don't play chess.) Try starting about
2 spaces in from the outside of the board. Good Luck.

Yeah, currently there is no standard packaging per say for CD-ROMs because
depending on what kind of information the disc contains, it may be packaged
in many different ways. The Sega games for example are packaged in some of
the larger type jewel cases that will allow the manual or whatever printed
material is needed to fit in that case. Also, a lot of discs come with books
that are CD-ROM related. In my experience, the disc has always had some sort
of plastic sleeve in which to keep the disc.
At the moment, I don't know of any "standard" packaging style. And I am like
you when it comes to the boxes. I don't keep them either. My discs are just
stacked up on top of each other, kinda like the way I used to keep the 45 rpm
records. I don't worry too much about damaging the discs because they are
protected pretty good with the polycarbonate coating that is applied to the
disc after production. But then again, I don't have a lot of ROMS to worry
about.
Hope you are able to resolve you dilema.

I'm not quite sure what it is you want other than a master. We do the entire
process from taking the tape or raw data, make a master,etc. and then we
actually, press, print, and package the discs.
If your question is that you want only a master and no production, I'm not
quite sure if the plant will do that. I will follow up on it and get in touch
with you or have someone else give you a call. If the mastering and pressing
of the discs is something you want, then yes, we are in the business. It is
JVC Disc America. We have a sales office in California and New York. You may
give me a call if you would like at (205) 554-5528 CST and I will try and
answer your question.

I read you posting how your CD-ROM drive was not reading the Hobbes OS/2 disk.
When I first put the disk in my NEC 83 drive I would get a CRC error. But all
my other disks worked just fine. The disk worked on other drives as well. I
took the drive to NEC and they fixed it. I was able to get a DIR of the disk.
But if I tryed to copy info to the HD I would get the error. I again took it to
NEC and they fixed it again, and finaly it works. From time to time it gets
errors and if I HIT the drive and try again it works. My guess is when they
pressed copyes of that disk it is a little out of spec's so my older drive had
a problem but newer drives did not.

There are some extra drivers in OS/24W that was not included in OS/2 2.1, but
OS/2 2.11 (OS/2 2.1 Service Pack) has some extra over what OS/24W has. OS/24W
also emulates PC-DOS 6.1 in its DOS sessions. Functionally there is no
difference (except for the drivers issue, and lack of built-in Windows in
OS/24W).

Please direct future question about OS/2 to the OS2_Z3 echo, where it is on

Hi Christian,
I have been through the Return to Zork, so here is some help
for you.
THE INCINERATOR To cool the wire use water? The second
time you go to town you visit the gift shop. Did you examine the cash
register? Did you take the items in drawer? After you leave here did
you go under the bridge? You find a waif with which you exchange an item?
Here at the river you will fill your flask, did you do this? The water in
the flask you use to cool the wire in the incinerator drawer.
THE RATS On your first trip to town after you arrive at
bridge, did you pickup a box at the hardware store? You will need this!
After you have cooled the wire and taken it, you use it on the lock of the
green building (next to Moodock's). Here you find the rats. Use the box?
hope the hints are useful and help you in the adventure.
All the best from JIM

No, Rainer. I was suggesting you just slip the disc into those
little paper/paperboard cases the actual 5.25 comes in -- the
sleeve that looks like an envelope with the flap cut off.
It isn't a perfect solution, especially since neatness is of importance
to you. But I've found it convenient and of course the discs are very
easy to get to and get out, and fast as well. I've been doing it for
years and never had a problem. Cheers!

He may not have seen it advertised, John. Their marketing practise

by calling Chicago information and asking for the World Book
listing. BTW, they've just come out with a Windows version and
their cdrom version is called Information Finder.

Sorry, but I'm going to send Bookshelf back to you... it's (for my

Ho! Woecomes to the Canadian who takes up any US company on their offer. I
recently ordered the Fao and FaoGold series from the Profit group in Arizona.
Don't get me wrong. The software is off good quality. But the price! The price
listed on the message for the 6 cd set is 109$. By the time I finished paying
out US currency exchange, GST, customs and God knows what else; the bill came
to a grand old total of 240$. Can you believe that. Like I said. The software
is good; but if you live in Canada; BEWARE THE TAX MAN!

Hello Ron.
I'm running a 1.7 gig Micropolis hd and a 340 meg western digital off of an
Ultrastore 15FM hd controller. No compensation needed. I just followed the
instructions in the controllers manual and it works fine. I'm also running
it under DOS 5.0. Using Qemm 2.41 and DV 6.01 for multitasking. Also run 2
of the Pioneer drm-600's and 3 Mitsumi Double spins on 1 486dx33. I traded
the dealer some spare parts for the Ultrastore controller card but I believe
they run aroud $110.00. Comes with 2 16550 uart com ports and 1 parallel
port and a game port.

Assuming you'll be travelling the I-95 hellway, you should not miss the
second largest tourist trap east of the Mississippi(*). It was conceived
in some slack master's pinhead many years ago as an attraction with no
connectivity to the surrounding culture, history, temperment, or religion.
I am, of course, talking of South of the Border. An oasis of excess just
south of the North Carolina border with South Carolina.
The theme: Mexico! (of course!)
There is a huge neon cartoon Mexican standing outside the place, and his
ghastly visage adorns billboards for ten miles in either direction. As an
added bonus, the billboards are all written in Speedy Gonzalez pidgin
English. Truly amazing, but nothing compared to the greed-mongering
inside the place. Every tacky trinket you can imagine is for sale, as
well as many you couldn't possibly imagine, even with chemical help.
If tacky tourist ambushes thrill you as much as they do me, you won't
want to miss it. The name again: South of the Border, I-95, just
south of the border between North & South Carolina.
Andy

Read: [N/A] Private: No
On Friday's edition of "Computer Chronicles" they had a very
short review of a CDROM called "Movie Select". They said that it
can predict which movies you will like based on what movies you
have liked in the past.
How much does this CDROM cost? How easy is it to use? How well
does its prediction ability work? How many movies can you tell
it you really liked and have it base its recommendations on? Can
you save a file of all the movies you liked to HD for later use?
Will it allow multiple users to save their preferences?
I know that it will recommend movies. Can you ask it if you are
likely to enjoy a specific movie. Does it have artificial
intelligence features that allow it to learn from its mistakes?
Have I asked too many questions? Thank you in advance for all
replies.

My immediate solution was to buy three empty jewel cases at CompUSA for $2.99.
I know there are mail order places selling them for as low as 50 cents.
I also ran into an interesting device at a local record store. It's about 2
inches tall, black plastic, and has twelve plastic arms inside that swing up
and emulate the locking hub in the center of the jewel case. The net effect is
something that fits in the hand and holds a dozen CD/CD-ROMs with the same
security as the jewel case. There was also a
two-of-these-side-by-side-in-one-outer-case version that hold 24 CDs. Cost was
about 8.99 for the 12'er and 13.99 for the 24'er.
There was a rack at CompUSA that holds jewel cases by the hinge side, so you
can open the jewel case and remove/replace the CD without taking the jewel case
out of the rack. Much bulkier, but good for CDs that have manuals or other
documentation that fits in the jewel case.
I'd be reluctant to stack up the disks. I always kept my 45s in their paper
sleeves. A friend of mine in college kept his in stacks, and they always
seemed to suffer a little bit in the click, pop, and scratch department.

MN> Mathieu

Hi Mathieu, if you still need the solution, here we go:
First of all you don't need to solve the puzzle to move through the game
or finish it. If you were to read the book in the library for hints, the
third time it would be solved for you.
Anyway heres the best I can do for you:
OBJECTIVE: you control the blue cells. Stauf controls the green ones. The
objective is to capture the majority of the territory and wipe out as many
green cells as you can.
MOVES: Cells can split in two in any direction. They can also jump over a spa
but they do not duplicate when they do. If a cells comes in contact with any
cell of another color, that cell will change to match the color of the one
that moved.
NOTE: There is no one strategy to beat this game. It is not a puzzle but
based on the game SPOT, if you ever played that.
Also, Stauf will not move into an area of two empty spaces surrounded by other
cells. This is obvious because then you could move into the remaining space
and grab all those cells! Perhaps there's a stategy that makes use of this.
GOOD LUCK, RICH
... Not tonight, dear. I have a modem.

Does anyone know of any user group, company, individual etc. that is selling

I don't mean disc's like Night Owl's, but disc's with only the absolute latest
shareware and it should be enough with 50-100 Megs on the disc.
It should come out about 1-2 times each month.
The idea with this type of disc should be to fill the gap between
distribution by modems and distribution by standard shareware CD-ROM.
The cost should not be more than a normal CD-ROM.

Would you tell me how to send you a netmail? Your name seems not appear
in the nodelist!!
And the CD set such as "Classic collection 4-pak" counts 1 or
4 CDs for freight, or the freight is $6 or $1.5?

I can appreciate what you are saying here, as I order cd titles from
the US for resale here in Canada. The added costs result in higher
pricing in Canada, but many people don't understand why.

Well ... They're going to be less tolerant of scratches than audio CDs. (Audio
CDs use error concealment, i.e., guessing, when the error correction is
exhausted, and you can't do that successfully with binary data.) Of the audio
CDs I borrow from the local library, about 1 in 20 has a gross defect, like
skipping or an entire track being mute. So I feel it is necessary to treat
CDROMs as well as I treat my audio CDs, and not "downgrade" my kindness to the
levels of less careful library patrons.

In this echo and cdrom_sale echo. One of the regular dealers(I believe) that
have been clawing at each others throats lately and totally ignoring the echo
rules about postings etc. It was 31 or 32.50 plus shipping (ver6. it stated).
Also: saw a post from a user that had your version (could be mistaken on
versions) that stated that it had nearly nothing or nothing on Joe Fraser
or boxing in general. Hense, another reason why I won't pay a lot for it.
I figure if its THAT short on such a major subject, then its going to be

It isn't obvious from that map where the "center" is. There are
two indicators pointing to the destination, but most people will do
some searching anyway. It will just be easier searching if you
start off with a map.

In a message dated 05-11-94, Chris Snyder said to All Users:
CS>Has anyone solved the crypt puzzle in the basement by logic other than

A more complicated version of the same puzzle is in the art room.
But no, I just played until I saw a solution.

I don't think you have to solve ANY puzzle. You can always go to
the answer book in the library.
But the microscope is the only puzzle which I had to bypass. (The
kids room puzzle changed after one trip to a picture which I could
solve). The idea of the game is to solve the puzzles, and I would
like to solve the microscope puzzle!

The 7th guest can puzzle is one of the most difficult in the early stages of
the game because it is not known what one is supposed to do. For the person
that asked...you have to transfer the clue to harder vocabulary words. (i.e.
underground ___ = crypt). I would like to know if I am the only one to solve
this puzzle without the help of the book? Thanks,

Oh! That makes more sense; guess I was just a little bit dense when I read
your first letter |-).
The only problem is that one cannot see the printed label on the CD itself; I
guess one could label the dust jacket.
One advantage is that they occupy less room, and will go in the existing filing
containers for 5.25" disks.

You cashed it on April 15 and it was paid by my bank on April 18.
I have received nothing. No CD. No letter. Nothing.
Could you tell me what's going on, please? Thanks.

Thanks for the info... I'll keep my eye out for it. I think half the
baby boomers in North America grew up with World Book... That should be a
big seller if they do it right.
If they're marketing it like Britannica, it must be too expensive!

Dear Friends,
At first, I'm writing from Brazil and my english isn't very good.
I've been having big troubles with my CD-Rom and my SoundBlaster Pro.
With softwares running under DOS everything is OK, but under Windows
it's a tragedy. With softwares in CD there's no problem but i can't
hear musical CD's. Everytime the Windows send me a message like :
"CD-Player (or MPlayer) CAUSED A GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT IN MODULE
MMSYSTEM.DLL AT 0005:3A6D" or,
"UNEABLE TO PLAY SOUND. THE SOUNDBLASTER IS IN USE BY ANOTHER
APLICATION" and there's no other aplication using the SoundBlaster.
I'm using the Windows with 386Enh and i look all the interrupts, DMA
channels, etc. and didn't find any conflict with other hardwares.
I need a big help from you. My CD-Rom is a Panasonic CR-562-B.
Thank's a lot and forgive my english, ok?

CD's to hard drives, to motherboards, basically anything someone might want
in the computer field I would like to supply, but I need to find someone to
supply them to me and I want to be able to give comptetive prices. I also
already have my resellers permit, so I can buy tax-free wholesale. If you
are interested, leave a message here, or call the number below, I am
currently running the business out of my home, so the phone number is sort
of a full time number (I.E. days, evenings, weekends, whenever). Thanks in

**Somebody PLEASE read this!**
Hi!
Can anyone help me out?? I have a 386 / 33 with 10 Meg RAM and a
Soundblaster Pro. I'm about to upgrade to CDROM and and need to get the
drive and a new video card. Right now, I've got this VESA compatable chunk
on my motherboard with 512K DRAM on it, and it will run hires SVGA modes,
but is slooooow! I need a decent video board w/ Windows accel.
I'm looking at the Sony CDU-33A, which has 300 KB/Sec and 320ms acess
time, with a 64KB buffer. I have no idea about the video card. . . I'm
limited to an ISA 16 biter, no VLB slots!
Can anyone help?? I would greatly aprch. it!
Thanks,
Henry Fell

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I am new to CDROMs, and am ignorant about something. . . can somebody
answer without laughing too hard. . .
My SB Pro sound card says it has an interface (AT type) for a CDROM. Does
that mean that the CDROM can interface with my computer directly through the
Sound Card, or does it need a 16 bit slot to connect to the computer, and
the sound card hookup is for audio stuff only?
Thanks for the help!!

Thank you very much for the response Sharron. I'll call you tomorrow

As far as the dates and number of files are concerned, I don't think I can
argue with you. However, the amount of data stored on the disk is debatable.
Anyone who has ever bought a hard drive knows that there are two different
definitions of the term "megabyte". There is the common usage of 1 million
bytes. This is commonly used by advertisers, not just because it makes the
disk look bigger, but because many people think that a meg is a million bytes,
and because nearly all the competition defines a meg this way. Of course, you
realize that a megabyte is actually 1024K, but that's not how it works in
advertising-speak. I've read this in tech/hard drive conferences, I can almost
recite it from memory.

What is its purpose? Are there people running CD-ROMs off of Vic 20's
here? I think perhaps 18-20 lines is more reasonable, with perhaps 15 to be
safe. What's the difference if its longer than 10 lines, provided it takes up
one screen. Besides, 10 lines max means you get multiple posts, each with its
own overhead, adding to the cost of moving the echo.

They're not organized as "cylinders", it's one long spiral track

Not at all. It's arranged in minutes/seconds, and blocks. Rotational

There's basically three brands that are widely available.
Pioneer has several drives in the six and eighteen disc class, from 1x
to 4x speed. They range from about $650 to about $2000 in street price.
NLM (something like that, a German company) has a 100-disc unit (two
50-disc hinge-out towers, one on each side) and a drive that rides up
and down between them. It's around $10K I think (very round numbers).
There's also a Swiss company that has a rotating carousel-type unit in
the 250-300 disc class and that supports up to four-six drives all
active at once. I think that one is like $25K or something like that...
it's quite expensive.
MK>Requirements: At least double speed, SCSI, 600 to 680 Meg CD's.
MK>Maybe anybody can also tell me about prices and where to by them.
If you're willing to wait a little bit, Sony is working on a unit which
will probably be based on their 100-disc audio changer (the audio
version sells for less than $1000 in the USA, so hopefully they won't
get TOO greedy for the CD-ROM version).
After that, I've spoken with reps from several other companies (HP and
Iomega, among them) in hopes of getting them interested in jumping into
the market too. (HP already makes a line of more expensive optical disc
jukeboxes). And an IOMEGA unit could support both CD-ROMs and Bernoulli
cartridges (offering both read-only and read-write storage)... the sizes
of the cartridges (presuming CD-ROM caddies) are almost exactly the
same.
I think you can count on things getting rather wild and wooly over the
next few years... the current rather sadly uncompetitive state of
affairs in this area will NOT continue. :-)

...well, SORT of. Only if you have IRQs 3, 4, 5, and 6 all free. In a
pinch, one can free up 3 and 4 (but then you've generally got NO
IRQs for comm ports, which many sysops seem to often use for some
strange reason). IRQ 5 is pretty easy, that's LPT2 and most people
don't need it. But IRQ 6 is a bear, since that one's usually the
diskette controller! And most people aren't willing to reconfig their
whole system just to hook up a floppy drive when they need to read a
diskette. If whoever designed that card had a little more forethought,
they could have EASILY supported IRQ 7 (also, or even in place of IRQ
6). OR, if they'd designed the driver to support shared interrupts (but
it appears they didn't, unfortunately).
But in other respects, it's a nice drive! I just bought six of them
less than a week ago. :-)

Now is NOT the time to buy a high-end drive. Performance of the

People who buy a double-speed caddyless like the Panasonic for $150-180

Philips or Mitsumi single-speeds at $65-80 are in pretty good shape,

The description is basically accurate. The drive is also multisession
capable and meets MPC specs (but not MPC II of course). Note that the
only IRQs you can choose are 3,4,5,6. There are 4 I/O addresses
available (300h,310h,330h,340h). The interface card has L&R RCA phono
jacks on the back for audio connection to your stereo system.
I just bought six of these myself last week. ;-) ...but not from

these are coming from all of a sudden, but I'm sure glad they're doing

Some of you dealers seem to forget that customers don't just exist to
BUY discs, some of us actually USE them too. And not only that, but a
lot of us judge how interesting a disc is (and whether we ought to buy
one for ourselves too) by the amount of traffic (and type of traffic)
that discusses that disc.
So I don't object at all to seeing hints and comments about game discs.

Any interface that will drive one Panasonic CR562-B (even a sound

cable with several connectors on it, and to ensure that the drives are
set to different unit numbers (there are jumpers on the back side of the

What's neat about the Panasonic controller cards I've seen is that you
can put 4 drives per card, and up to something like eight cards (!) in a
single PC (so you'll hit DOS number-of-drives limits before you hit the
limit of the CD-ROM subsystems). Since it needs neither IRQs nor DMA
channels, there's little likelihood of conflicts with other devices
(including more like itself).

SCSI costs about twice as much as non-SCSI, and frankly it's the
high-end drives that are likely to look like "dumb purchases" in six to
eighteen months.
As for the controller, if you buy a SCSI controller today you're just as
likely to have to buy a new controller if you someday get a non-ISA
machine, as you would be to have to replace an ISA-bus ATbus type
controller.
GC>you can always upgrade.
What does SCSI have to do with that? Not a lot, I think. Frankly, I
just don't think that the premium for SCSI drives is worth the cost.
It's not as if the drives need a super-high transfer rate!!

They'll be expensive when they first come out. Buying a high-end drive
is the best guarantee of saying "wish I'd waited" in a few months.

It's not DOS 5.0, it's any version of DOS using a drive which needs the
System BIOS to support it. The System BIOS on a PC limits you to 1024
cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors per track, and 512 bytes per sector.
How do you get around it? Don't use the System BIOS support to run your
hard disk. Either select a hardware system that doesn't require it (such
as SCSI or enhanced IDE), use a special controller card that gets around
it, or use a software solution (such as Ontrack System's Disk Manager).

mb>___
To the best of my knowledge, nothing like this is currently available. I did
read of a startup joint venture that is going to have such detailed information
available (detail down to the county level). I know that neither of the two
main players (MapInfo and Autocad) have this sort of capacity for China.
MapInfo does offer it's ADC Worldmap (available for its windows version only).
This is a four disk set which covers the world ($2,995). The Souther Asia
(which I am guessing includes China) disk costs $995. It includes 17 layers of
data (roads, bridges, population, etc. Information is also provided on data
quality information (date, source, scale).
Remember, that in addition to the above cost, you need the MapInfo basic
software ($1,300).
Hope this points you in the right direction.

It's in fair (good) condition.. I'm not sure about the '92 version, but my
guess would be it is MPC (for Windows) like the '93 version.. The '91 has a
collection of 6 reference works, The American Heritage Dictionary, Roget's
Electronic Thesaurus, Concise Columbia Encyclopedia and World Almanac,
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations and Concise Columbia Quotations..
The '93 is MPC (for Windows), and contains 7 reference works, including all the
above (newer verions?) and also the Hammond World Atlas..
Let me know if you're still interested in the '91 version.. $18.00 shipped!
Thanks!

I recently got it for Graduation. I have finished the first age and am in
the stoneship age, however, I'm stuck here! I can't get back to the first
age as I haven't figured out what to do. Maybe something I forgot to do in
the first age? I did everything in order of events I think? Went to the
imager, got the message <That freaked me out> and then I went to the tower,
rotated it like the message said, then I went to the tower, got the dates,
went to the planetarium, put all this stuff in it, pushed on the stones,
got on the ship, read the book, and BAM! Anything I forgot to do in the first
age????

Just upgraded my system with REVEAL Multimedia Kit. It came with lots of

with Space Shuttle and Iron Helix that require SVGA and VESA support,
neither of which my system has as of yet. How do these games rate?
Also, REVEAL offers a VC-500 video card that would probebly do the trick,
but not sure if it will go with my monitor or not. I have a PB 8541VGG.
Anyone know if I HAVE to upgrade my monitor now with this card (I plan
to upgrade eventually) or if I can get away with the new card and old
monitor for awhile?

Hey Rainer,
An alternative to jewel cases or tyvex 5.25in disc sleeves are some very
unique plastic envelopes developed specifically for CD's that do NOT scratch
the CD! These envelopes have a fiber material that protects the disc face and
is non-abrasive. My company ships all of the CD's we produce in these
envelopes. They are super compact and extremely light weight. They come in
seven colors including clear and will hold one disc and one or two inserts
depending on which version you buy.
Generally they are:
$0.75 -- 25 pack
$0.55 -- 50 pack
$0.45 -- 100 pack
add $1.00 shipping per 25. If you would like a few of these beasts give me a
call at 1-800-234-7344.

necessary to have your CD ROM interfaced with the soundcard, just
use the audio output with proper cabling, as such you can still use
your present card, however some Sony's and Panasonics will work
fine with your present SB Pro. If you use SCSI host adaptor, that
will allow you 7 devices on a single card utilizing only a single slot

It sounds like you need to install the aproriate drivers for Windows. Give

With a !6 bit card here are the resolutions that you should be looking for:
320 X 200 128K
640 X 480 614K
800 X 600 960K
1024 X 768 1572K
1280 X 1024 2621K
All figures are approximate. 1MB = 1024K
Then pick the highests resolution that your monitor can handle look for a card
based on that fact.Next you will have to determine what type of applications
you will use most. Window, DOS or a combination of the two. If you are a
windows fanatic then choose an accelerator card. If you want both then try a
card that is based on the S# chip ( Like the Diamond Stealth).
You also can consider what tyoe of RAM you want with your card VRAM or DRAM.
VRAM (Video) is more expensive but is dual ported and can write to the screen
while reading in more information from the memory. DRAM can't but many
manufacturers use buffering to achieve almost the same results as VRAM. This
means that VRAM is slightly faster when the card is pushed to the limits but is
probably not worth the extra dollars (about $100).
Hope that helps.
Keep in touch.

If one was to look for a common thread to these, I guess I would

Hmmm, I'm guessing that you are referring to the MegaDoor program....

WKM>Also how about making it so it can tell

Good idea, I'll pass this along as well.
WKM>Any Plans to make Mega BBS compatible with CD Rom's other then
WKM>Profit Press? I think it's alot better then Brainex, but is limited!
I don't think so. Our intention in providing MegaDoor on the CD's
is to provide a product that is full circle. It's a good door
program that you don't have to register in order to receive full
functionality (Same story with MegaFile, the files.bbs generator).
For us to develop a separate product that would interface with
All the available shareware CD's on the market would shift our
objective of providing the highest quality CD-ROM's at the best
price available. Who knows though, we are very flexible and have
already developed a few commercial CD-ROM drive BenchMark and Test

RV>Well ... They're going to be less tolerant of scratches than audio CDs.
(Audio
RV>CDs use error concealment, i.e., guessing, when the error correction is
RV>exhausted, and you can't do that successfully with binary data.)
Well, I did say you "still have to treat them with some care," Rainer.
I certainly do -- "with some care." I handle them carefully and only
by the edges and such to avoid fingerprints. I watch where I put them,
and never place anything on top, etc. Just general care. If there
were kids around, I'd probably consider buying a caddy machine for
them and their discs. Caddies are nice in a case like that or for
library use of any kind, I think.
RV>Of the audio
RV>CDs I borrow from the local library, about 1 in 20 has a gross defect, like
RV>skipping or an entire track being mute. So I feel it is necessary to treat
RV>CDROMs as well as I treat my audio CDs, and not "downgrade" my kindness to
the
RV>levels of less careful library patrons.
That is interesting. It will now be interesting to see what happens when
libraries start lending CD-ROM as does Compton's through one of the
U.S. video chains. I've been writing about CD-ROM for about five years
now. One of the publications I do stuff for is the Canadian CD-ROM News
published by the Canadian Library Association. I think they will be
wondering as well.
BTW, I have a couple of hundred CD-ROM discs, some going back about
five years. I haven't run into a problem with any of them yet. Cheers!

The Linux Quarterly CDROM contains everything you need to start using Linux
on your PC. The operating system must be installed to either a raw non-DOS
partition, or it can also be installed to a regular DOS partition, assuming
you have enough space. Installing to a DOS partition is a convenient, albei
not completely optimum means of doing this. You lose some speed, though not
much, while you gain convenience (not having to create another partition.)
This version will not run directly from the CDROM. The next version of the
CDROM will do this. This, also, is not ideal. Very few drives are capable
of reading and seeking the drive fast enough for acceptable operations.
The NEC 3x appears to be a good choice for this type of operations.
Kind regards,
Hayden Bradshaw

BH**Does anyone know of any user group, company, individual etc. that is sellin
BH**very new sharware on CD-ROM?
BH**I don't mean disc's like Night Owl's, but disc's with only the absolute lat
BH**shareware and it should be enough with 50-100 Megs on the disc.
BH**It should come out about 1-2 times each month.
BH**The idea with this type of disc should be to fill the gap between
BH**distribution by modems and distribution by standard shareware CD-ROM.
BH**The cost should not be more than a normal CD-ROM.
We sell the Public (software) Library -- PsL CD-of-the-Month... out of
the nearly 2000 CDs we sell, it is the *only* one that offers what
you're looking for. This monthly CD contains usually 800-900 programs
for DOS and Windows in all categories, i.e. Applications, Utilities,
Games, etc., etc., all received within 30 days of going to CD. The
programs will automatically install from either DOS or Windows. It also
comes with screenshots of a number of the programs to give you a
look-see before you install them. The PsL News Magazine is included in
electronic format, which provides you with info on every program
contained. It's kind of the Shareware Industry's "Bible".
Additionally, PsL includes a different "theme" each month from their
existing library. January and July features Games; February & August -
Business; March & September - Home; April & October - Utilities; May &
November - Words, Sounds and Graphics; June & December - Programming. So
you get anywhere from 1000 - 3000 theme-related programs in addition to
the latest software! As I mentioned... there's nothing else like it.
You can try out any month's issue for $30.00 Canadian + $3.50 S/H. We
also offer a monthly subscription (cancellable anytime) for only $25.00
Canadian + $3.50 S/H anywhere in North America. We automatically bill
your Credit Card monthly when we ship. (I just noticed your
tagline says Sweden... insured 1st class Air Mail to Sweden is about
$6.00 Canadian.)
If you're looking for quality, current, non-crippled shareware, without
duplications, and no BBS ads, or other "junk" then PsL is the one!
Give me a call at: (905) 830-1615 or Fax: (905) 830-4254.

Yes indeed -- according to the press kit that came this morning
touting the new Windows version. It is complete with VCR tape and
everything. I prefer my own trials and errors so I'll get one
soonest, I guess.
Yes EB does have a CD-ROM, but not quite the way you mean it. It is
two discs that have to be loaded to an HD. Takes almost a Gig. And
they only rent/lease on an annual basis. It, and the price, is really
only for libraries, universities etc. Cheers!

I don't have the figures here at the cottage, but I think it was

Hi guys! I know exactly what you mean about the added costs! I still order
many things via mail order from U.S. companies, though only if they ship
through U.S. Mail, preferably U.S. Priority service, because since U.S. Mail
is processed by Canada Post and say what you will about them, they only
charge five bucks plus any duties (usually there aren't supposed to be any
since NAFTA & most of the stuff like cd-roms are made in the U.S.) plus the
grab'em and stab'em tax }:-( Sure beats the fifteen bucks and up that the
couriers charge to just look at your package! And many times i've gotten
stuff delivered that went right through without any charge at all! So, if
you're not importing for commercial purposes use the good old government run
postal service and save a few bucks <grin>.
P.S.: To any U.S. mail-order companies ==> when shipping to Canada use the
U.S. Postal Service, you'll have much happier customers than if you ship via
the other couriers!
L8r y'all!

Indeed, something very "fishy" in this waters <g>. I order stuff from the
US all the time but never paid 100%+ over the listed US price before. Besides
the exchange rate, gst, brokerage and shipping, there shouldn't be anything
else.
One thing I learn from some US suppliers, watch out for those shipping/
handling charges... esp. if you're buying from 10,000 miles away, I'd rather
stick with those nearer to home, sa. WA or OR stores.
Btw- I hope no one pays more than $30CDN for 6 CDs cuz I bought a rear

$25 via UPS Gnd (2 days).

Wee Yung (see COMPUSALE/CFORSALE/CD_SALE) sells the Mitsumi Dbl.
speed for $129.
As for faster ... I've heard that most disks don't access the
additional speed over 2X (games, interactive). Tho, it might be
usefull if for personal use on shareware bbs type cd disks. I'm
just learning about faster drives, so my word on this is definitely
not definitive.

Hi, Bevis! Have been playing for a couple weeks and am completely
stumped, and considering you've just finished, it should be fresh in
your mind (hopefully)! I am stuck in the mechanical age - just can't
seem to get the fortress to turn. Also, went back and decided had to go
somewhere else first, so I went to the ship age and cannot figure out
which button to press on the roulette wheel looking device without the
lights going out. Do you have any ideas? I'm usually good at these (7th
Guest was a breeze, and RTZ only slightly harder) so I hope I'm not
having glitches with the CD. I already had problems getting the
quick-time to work with speedstar 24x. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!!

HF> My SB Pro sound card says it has an interface (AT type) for a CDROM. Does

Your sound blaster card plugs into an AT type slot (16 bit)
The SB has a CD-ROM data cable connector (about 40 pins) near the front edge
of the card. This carries the CD players video images and audio that is
associated with a game or multimedia product. NOTE: according to the
instructions that came with my SB, this connector only works with the
Matsushita CR-521 CD player.
There is also a CD-IN connector (4 pins) that is meant to attach to your CD
player if you want to route audio CD's from the music store through your
SB. This is closer to the back of the card (the edge with the connectors
that stick out the back of your computer) near the top (farthest from the
AT bus pins that stick into your computer).
The "getting started" booklet that should have come with your SB has
pictures to help you with this, as well as some info about setting
Interrupt jumpers (IRQ's) and DMA jumpers. Fortunately, the factory
standard settings worked ok for me.
Good Luck, and write again if you still have problems.

No. The idea behind modem deals for sysops is that when a sysop uses a
modem, his users will likely follow suit (better connects, you know?). This
took off bigtime when there were competing 9600+ standards and no clear winner.
There would be no advantage to a company giving discounts to sysops on hard
drives or CD-ROMs. Our net does group purchases, but the discounts aren't much
more substantial than you'd find in the Computer Shopper. And it's only
available for locals.

RA=> how do sysops with 540mb or 1.2 gig hard drives compensate for this?
Whatever that number is (depending on your definition of a megabyte), it
is the IDE interface that gives that limitation. Special drivers (like the one
with the WD Caviar 540) can give you more if your drive has the capacity.
People with 1.2 gig HDs probably have SCSI drives and interfaces.

Well, you could use a program that plays CD audio, and listen to the
horrible noises it'll produce! Other than that, I doubt you'd get anything out
of it. Even if the disks had a comparable format, the actual data is in an
alien formats. You think Sega uses GIFs and WAVs on their cartridges? Would
they have filenames on their CD ROMS? Nope.
As an interesting side bar, the Software Toolworks Multimedia Encyclopedia
that came with my Creative Edutainment bundle has some stereo CD audio tracks.
The interesting part is that they put different sounds in each tracks. So you
have FDR in one speaker, and some actor playing Lincoln in the other. My
favorite sound byte in there is when Stars and Stripes Forever plays in one
channel while a monkey makes suggestive noises in the other.

I'll give you a hint. If Untwist is the opposite of Twist, how would you

Well it has been almost 2 weeks now since my Panasonic CR562-b CD-ROM
died. I have called Panasonic 3 times at my expense and they just won't
return my calls. I don't know what to do to get this thing fixed. I
don't want to just send it to them since they probably won't accept it
without a RMA#.
Has anyone had to have one of these drives fixed? What did you do to get
them to honor the waranty? Do you have a number of someone I can call at
Panasonic who will actually take some action?
I will never buy another Panasonic product again and will tell anyone I
know not to either. I'm going to make a bulletin for my BBS so all my
callers will know what type of service this company provides.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I'm looking for the BBS number of NEC Technologies, so I can d/l a update to
my CD-ROM driver(s). Here's my tale of woe:
I picked up this unit from Tiger Software (motto: delay shipping as long as
possible) and installed it in my Gateway 386/25. It seems to do okay as long
as I leave the drive empty when booting up...otherwise, it spins up, the BUSY
light goes on, and the whole system hangs. The SCSI board I got to go with it
is an 8-bit NEC model (the chip in it is labeled FUTIRE DOMAIN), with a 25-pin
female RS-232 connection. I think that the driver that I'm using is a bit
dated, as the manual states that, on boot, it should identify the device and
logical unit (it does), then list the adapter number, base address, memory
address, and IRQ. There's a way to set the memory address & IRQ, but no switch
that I can locate to set the base address.
Also, the documentation claimed that the card wanted IRQ5, so I provided it,
and when I run CheckitPRO, the SCSI software (PowerSCSI!) is listed for it, but
the SCSI board isn't shown as taking the IRQ.
All in all, it's a nice unit, but I'd like the software to allow me a little
more flexibility.
Thanks to all,
Doug

Does any one know of people in the Bible Society or similar institutions who

Phillip Pare, a former user of my BBS, has suggested the possibility of
producing a CD ROM (multimedia?) with the text of the Bible in all the various
South African languages, together with dictionaries, grammars and speech
synthesisers. This would, for example, enable blind people to hear the Bible in
their own language, and would also help translators and interpreters.
Any comments? Ideas? Suggestions?

I manage min warehouse properties, so find my fair share of junk. I watched a
U-haul truck hit an audio cd with front and back wheels while on concrete, out
of a jewel box, bouncing as it happened, and it is one of my favorite discs
that I listen to almost every day. Not a skip yet. I know it is probably a
minor miracle that I have no problems, because there are several serious
looking scratches, but they are tough, I have to agree.

Sounds interesting. Though I don't understand why you have them priced as high
as the jewel cases -- the going price being about 50 cents each for a jewel
case from many of the CD-ROM dealers who advertise here, and $1.00 each in
places like CompUSA, with no minimum purchase of 25 required. Other than
keeping down postage costs, how are they better than a jewel case?

Henry, I had the same question before upgrading my system, too. Thought I
would lose a slot. The sound card has an interface that plugs right into
the CD-ROM drive and has an audio connection that also plugs into the drive.

I know just the place your looking for. J & D Distributing. I
will get the address and phone number and post it tomorrow. Their CD
prices have just lowered from 69.00 a piece to 20.00 dollars a piece for
most. You can rent them for a test drive and they are honest folks to
work with. The data is not all inclusive as most geneological
information is not. Try a couple first before you buy is my
recommendation.

They have Marriage Records, Social Security Death Benefit, Land
Records, Birth and Death Records, Pedigree & Histories, Census Index
Records. They also have a new CD out called a Master Index which will
show if an ancestors name is on any of their CD's. New CD's are on the
way that will have actual Census instead of just an index. When they
were 69.00 I was a bit cautious in purchases but for 20.00 for most disk
I can get some that I wanted but could not justify. It does take a
while to get use to using them and running searches. I am preparing a
copy of my PAF file to send to them for inclusion on a new family
pedigree disk they will be making. It is a combined effort of three
researchers over a period of 5 years. I hope others will do the same as
sharing research material can really make a difference. Good Luck. Tell
them that Tom Cotton in Arkansas sent you.

You should start by getting the correct interface for your Mitsumi
CD drive. The soundblaster pro only controls the panasonic brand
of cd drives. If you don't have the card that should have come
with the drive, you can get on from Golden Sound that will control
a sony, panasonic, or mitsumi. They're cheap too! Good luck.

Actually, I haven't seen it for quite a while either. It's under here
_somewhere_ ...
Which is why I've been concerned about having something to enclose the disks
and protect them from the Great Masses of Shifting Papers.
Ever seen what happens to a 5.25" floppy when it gets bent at a 30-degree angle
from a wayward manual? It's not pretty.

Your SBPro can act as an interface board for Matsushita CR-521, 562, and
563 drives. All others are no go. This drive is also often referred to
as "Panasonic", and is sold under a number of brand names: Reveal,
LaserMate, Creative Labs. Check the box to see if the SBPro can act as
the interface boards...if you don't see that on the box, it probably is
not compatible.

Note: The untwist draft uses a note that you get just before leaving the

If you just can't play the untwist draft, you have more work to do on the

Has anyone setup a pioneer DRM-602X 6 disk play with OS/2?
I have installed mine but with the CDROM support that came with OS/2 it only
seems to be able to access the first CDROM and no other.
Is there something simple I am missing or ???
Thanks, Scott.

Yeah. That last one was the icing on the cake. After I'd paid EVERY thing
else; then they want 20 bucks at customs. I don't know if it was more because
it was adult stuff, but either way a 120 percent mark-up overall is ridiculous.
I was bloody fuming when I got that final slip! I called the help number and
was ready to raise quite a load of you know what; but then I figured, 'oh well.
I've paid this much. 20 more bucks ain't going to kill me'. I wish I knew what

With Myst it doesn't matter what order you do things in for the most part. You
don't have to do the ages in any particular order or anything. To get out of
the age you're in, you have to empty the water from the lighthouse (by useing
the thing that looks like an umbrella stand) go into the lighthouse, down the
steps on your left. You close the valce on the chest after emptying the water
and go to the top again, fill the lighthouse with water, open the chest with
the key when the chest floats to the top, get the other key and open the second
lock, turn on the lighthouse by turning the wheel, go down either of the sets
of stairs but only halfway. At this point, you will find a secret passage in
the wall. The stairs should be lit by this point. Go into the secret passage,
and you'll find a big thing that looks like a star. Press the button located
by the right lower red star and a light will come on. Return to the surface
and empty the water from the room within the boat. Go down and you'll find the
myst book that returns you to the original age. Bring either of the pages with
you and put them in the approprate books in the library. You'll have to get
both of them eventually. I just passed the game myself and I thought it was
great. I'm looking forward to the sequel.
Happy mysting!

Depends on the software - stuff that does a LOT of CD-ROM big file access WILL

Can someone tell me if I can just add a CD-ROM into my system, or should I
get a full Multimedia Upgrade Kit?
I currently have a 386DX-40mhz with 4 meg of RAM, 250 meg HD, 14.4 modem,
and the original Sound-Blaster card. I have been told that I can just put a
CD-ROM in here (with it's own controller) and it will work fine. But I have
also been told that if I do that I won't be able to play audio CD's and
listen to them through the sound card (like when in Windows and working on
something having the CD playing in the background), and I have been told
that the sound won't always work correctly (depending on who I talk to).
Now I like the sound I get from my Sound-Blaster and I know a SB-Pro or SB16
would sound even better, but I can't quite financially afford to add them
both at this moment. Should I wait until I can, or can I put a $150
doublespin in here and get the CD-ROM advantages now and upgrade my sound
card later? And if I do that do you have a recommendation as to which drive
to get? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Well, do you know the twist spell? I can't remember where you learn it but

Thanks for reply my message, I get improve with my cd-rom problem. I
just found out that if I use hyperdisk caching I can get my cd-rom work
better, and also I have more sound coming out at speakers, but the
problem still there, I think the reason is my pc --- it is 386dx25 so I
can not expect too much out of it. By the way, what is your pc, I know
it is a 486, is it 486dx2-66? and how big is the memory?

Without a reasonable limit, MANY people tend to take advantage of the ability
to advertise here at all - as evidenced by the goodly number that ignore the
rules to begin with. There is another echo made especially for ads - folks
should post the longer stuff there (as long as it's approved by the rules, of
course). Just my opinion, but this echo consists of more than just ads...

You have to use the available letters to form a sentence. As you've
probably guessed, there are no vowels, except for "y". Some of the words
are "crypt", "slyly", "by", "my", "gypsy", and so on, in no particular
order.
Good luck!

At Starvector Software, we have made it our policy since 1987 to only
advertise titles which we actually have IN STOCK. There are many CD-ROM
distributors advertising "1000's of CD's", when in fact they only keep a
small percentage of that quantity on hand. This creates delays and
frustration for you, and is the primary reason we have always elected to
"stock what we sell". Like all businesses, items will occasionally sell
out, but our in-stock rate currently is around 96%, and we're striving to
improve on that. Call us! 500+ CD's READY TO SHIP TODAY at great prices.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Well, you have a number of choices, each requires spending various amounts of
Moohlah!!
First, and if you can afford it, Buy a DBLSPEED Cd-Rom pack! However, that is
most expensive!
Second, Buy a new SoundCard, and sell the old one. All you really have to do
is make sure the new soundcard has a Mitsumi interface. All, in all, you
shoulkd have to spend too much on this option!
Third, sell the Cdrom drive and buy a new one for the interface on your card!
However this can get a bit tricky, and you cant be expecting to get a good deal
when selling your single speed!
Last, and I dont n\know if this is feasable, is that you could see if a
mitsumni interface can be connected to the Soundblaster Pro that you have!
If I were you,k then I would definitely choose either op[tion one, or option
two!!!!
Good luck at any rate.
Regards!
Ps-I hope this wasn't too boring!!!

Look at the manufacture date on the drive. We sell them, and may be

The code actually is correct. You have to be sure that when you type in the
code, that you are at the Sphinx board with the option of choosing load a
saved game, start over, or exit. You then type in "Zaphod Beeblebrox" exactly
how it looks. Capital letters and the space must be included. If you have
done it correctly, you should hear a voice say "groovie".
Then click on either the "yes" or "no" to see the 23 different room in Guest.
Good Luck. Remember exactly as it looks...

Diane,
I am sorry to say that I have no more! If I find an extra one laying around,
you have 1st pick of it, but I would rather wait a few days to see if anyone
will "forget" to send the check, than to have too many checks, and not enough
cd's.. I may get some more, but will be a week or two before I know for sure.

Scott, if you are using the Adaptec 154x.add driver in your
config.sys, you need to add the following switch to the line:
/ET
This will enable the extended transport function and allow the
drm to operate correctly.

SpeedCache Plus is the name of the cache from Symantec (same guys who make
the Norton Utilities)..
And, YES! It is, BY FAR, the best cache I have ever used.. The quickest..
Only thing is, it's not the safest.. It's delayed writing is not like
Smartdrv's (or Norton's NCache).. It doesn't flush the buffers at the C:\
prompt, and such.. So you have to get used to it..
For real experienced people like myself (grin), this isn't a problem.. I set
up a little ALIAS through Norton dos that fluses the buffers before stuff
like rebooting, etc..
But, by far, it is a lot better than SMARTDRV..

Or maybe your SCSI card is the bottleneck? NEC ships their 3x kits with a
16 bit card, and you *know* they would have used a cheaper 8 bit card if such
could give adequate performance (both xfer rate and CPU time).

Hello,
Can anyone fiels this question?
I installed a Misutibi DoubleSpin CD-Rom. Everything worked just fine
for two days then I turned on the machine and the double spin was now
running at single spin. This was reported by two diffrent utilities.
What could cause this? Faulty CD? Something in the config.sys. I have
used these CD Drives in several machines with no problem.
Any ideas, Anyone?
Sincerely

Scott,
I don't have anything that will actually let you "view" the streets, as in
a Street Atlas type program, but with Selectphone 1994, using the reverse
search, you can input just a street, and then have the program list
everyone that lives on that street. Price is $159.70 w/ free upgrade if
you're interested.

That's what I've decided to do. Also, there is a very clever device I found in
a local record store that holds 12 CDs in one stack, with swing-up arms that
have the same center grip as a jewel case. Very compact! There's also a
"dual" unit that holds 24 disks. They're much more compact than jewel cases.
Cost is about 8.95 for the 12-unit and 13.95 for the 24-unit.

Remember, it was *you* who brought up "hair splitting!" *grin*
Technically, a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes. That's 1024 times 1024, or
1,048,576 bytes.
It was hard drive manufacturers that started all this "million byte"
confusion. They wanted their drives to look larger, so they started
advertising "540 million byte drives," etc., etc. For instance, the
Western Digital "540MB" IDE drive is roughly 528 megabytes in size.
It's sort of like the "formatted vs. unformatted" storage for 3.5"
floppies? Remember that mess? When you had to tell people to buy 1.0MB
floppies for 720K drives and 2.0MB floppies for 1.44MB drives? Blech!

I'd have to say "I don't know" to the first question, but the second
statement is incorrect. If you run a program from your CD-ROM drive and
that program makes noise via the Sound Blaster card, then it will use
your installed Sound Blaster, regardless of whether or not the Sound
Blaster is also the CD-ROM interface.
Now, on the audio bypass deal, that's a tougher question. Obviously, if
your CD-ROM drive supports an audio cable, you can connect it to your
Sound Blaster (I suspect that most drives do, as I've not seen one that
didn't). You *definitely* won't be able to use the Audio CD control
tools that are designed to work with Sound Blaster cards. Whether that
means you couldn't use another tool designed to work with your drive
and still get sound through your SB-connected speakers...? THAT's what
I don't know. They may be right. This might not work.
-> Should I wait until I can, or can I put a $150 doublespin in here
-> and get the CD-ROM advantages now and upgrade my sound card later?
I was able to find the Edutainment 16 multimedia kit (SB16 and
Panasonic 563 2X drive) for $370. I made a deal with the reseller where
they kept the speakers and bundled CD-ROMs, and I took the drive and
card for less than $300. You might try and arrange a similar deal, if
you purchase from a local retailer.
Note: I already had an SB Pro and Panasonic 1X CD-ROM drive, and I
replaced these with the new SB16 and 2X drive. The difference is
dramatic. The CD-ROM is much "zippier" and the sound quality is much
better. I am pleased and impressed.
So I guess I'm suggesting that you hold out until you can do it right.

What would probably be advisable is to figure out what type of card you want
when you get a new monitor. Then compare the price to that of the card you are
thinking of buying now (also weigh in the time of when you are thinking of
getting a new monitor). Most of the time you can use the top of the line VGA
card with your monitor. It won't do the Card justice but then you only have to
upgrade one component rather than two. If you are weighting for a while check
out second hand echo's (buy and sell). You can usually pick up good ones for
the 30-50 dollar range. Also Windows performance can be increased by buying
more RAm then just getting a New VGA card.

Basically, all you do is "back up" a couple times. Place the cursor near the
bottom of the screen to get the arrow that points back towards you. Also,
make sure you have the mirror in your hands when you exit the bottle because
Canuk will try to turn you into a duck when you return from the bottle. You
need to reflect the spell back at him.
By the way, have you ever figure out how to get past the spider in the Forest

Not exactly the right place but, with the moderator's kind permission
(thanks, Tim) I'll give you a short reply. You might also try to find
a board in your area that carries MIDI-NET, an echo devoted to exactly
this type of question.
MidiSoft Studio won't help you - it's a Windows application.
Look for a product in your local music store called "Sequencer Plus,
Junior" (1992, Voyetra Technologies) with a list price of about $80,
street price of around $50. It's an excellent, full-featured DOS
sequencer that is bundled with many sound cards, including the
SoundBlaster series.
"Seq+ Jr" comes in two flavors - if you have a true MIDI device (it need
not be G/M compatible) then you DO NOT WANT the SB version of this program.
"Seq+ Jr" is the entry level version of Voyetra's "Sequencer Plus Gold,
version 4", which is currently vying for top honors with Cakewalk 4.0e for
the most popular DOS sequencer programs. The Voyetra program (my choice)
is a high-end, professional package with every imaginable feature; Cakewalk
is admittedly easier to use. It's a matter of personal taste.
Incidentally, none of the DOS sequencer programs are currently available
on CD-ROMs. And don't waste your time with shareware DOS sequencers. I
haven't found a decent one yet.

Hiya, well the folks at Creative Labs are smarter than that ! :-)
Their is a Cd-ROM interface on the SB Pro cards .. BUT .. its a
proprietary interface which will only support Creative Labs CD drives
and also Panasonic I think... Not Mitsumi .. I know, I have a Mitsumi
myself and I was forced to buy a Pro AudioSpectrum Plus Card to run it.
So here's the choice - Buy a Creative Labs drive or a new Soundcard :-(

From your description, I suggest:
Buy a Matsushita CR-562-B drive w/ interface board. Upgrade the sound
board when you can. You will pay more this way than if you bought a kit
and you won't get any neato discs to start off with, but you CAN join the
CD-ROM world. The drive works fine, sound plays w/ the SB same as before,
and if you upgrade to a SB board with an interface on it later, you can
pull the interface board at that time with a slight change to config.sys.
You CAN play audio CD's, although if that is the prime purpose of wanting
the drive, a CD walkman will cost about the same and provide better service.

"will run under windows" - Do you mean it will run in a DOS window under

386/33 and got my multimedia kit when I had a BOCA board with 1meg ram.
The response was OK but I had numerous problems with the CDs I got, and,
with other display problems - font display in Word Perfect for example.
BOCA wasn't updating the drivers for my chipset any more. So, I plunged
again (after just getting the CD and sound board) for the Hercules
Dynamite. It has been a very hassle free board to own. I run at 800x600
res all the time in windows. The DOS games like DOOM and Wolfenstein (with
3d scrolling) all run well - no problems.
The speed could be a little faster on the CD video and DOS game
scrolling, but I have to think this is the fact that I have a 386, not the
fault of the card. I got the 1meg Hercules Dynamite and have been very
satisfied these past 5 months. Their drivers support a large number of
monitor vendors and brands. I use a generic one on my low-end CTX monitor
and like I say - I'm happy. FYI....

My computer is a 486dx 33mhz and I have 8 megs memory. So far the computer

Well there are Good CDs and there are Bad ones:
Just to imform so of you about what I purchased
"Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" a So-Called Interactive Romantic Comedy
by United Pixtures -Glendale, Ca
Well first this poorly assembled program is a slide show not
a movie. listed as 105 minutes playing time. No sound and even
at $14.95 a rip off. I guess we might still see this "movie"
on video tape at the local video store. Too bad if only the
creators of this program would have invested a little more time
in processing this CD correctly it could have been a hit.
Any other Horror stories out there?

I was first introduced to this program via a "Sampler Disk"

(we) the buying public can get a look at the software without
blindly purchasing the program. Yes if you enjoy this type
of software "SEYMORE BUTTS" is a funny and very interactive
program. You have a choice of running it like a movie and
sit back a watch or run it as an interactive movie where you
select the actions of the movie. This is an adult program
and a well produced program, well worth the $60.00 price.
This program uses "QuickTime" processing and the video tape
of this movie is available "Seymore Butts bustin out my best"
If anyone is interested call (800) 882-6959
I only wish more publishers would take the time to try
this type of marketing. It's still "Buyer be ware!"

Your observation is correct. CDROM and CDROM_SALE *are* virtually
identical. I have seen mail to the effect that, as more systems carry
both echoes, the ads will move to CDROM_SALE. I also believe that ads
posted in CDROM are supposed to be limited to 10 lines. CDROM_SALE has
no such limitations.
I know that I carry both on my system. I enjoy the ads, and would not
want to see them stop. I just wish that I could have one echo for the
discussion of CDROM "technology" and one echo where I could turn for
ads when I was ready to purchase some of that technology.

Just curious: I get my cdrom and cdrom_sale echo from a guy that gets them
through his satelite dish (planet connect) system and I see triples and
quarduples of the same exact adds from dealers EVERY single day! The only diff
is that some are dated the day before like Mon and tuesday etc...
In short: most of my mail from these two echos is constant commercial reruns
and produce at least half of each days mail run. Have you noticed the same in
your area?
Take that poor guy Shannon that quoted the whole message ad from every dealer
that day and got bombed with angry replies for it, his messages showed up (the
same ones) for days here and were two/three times duplicates each day.
I don't mind a 10 line limit of commercial ads but every single day, and dups
and triples is way out of line. CDROM and CDROM_SALE has gotten real bad. The
Gaming echo for cdrom/pc games is the only one of the 3 cdrom style echos (i
know of) that stays in its right form.

The concept is easy - but I couldn't correlate the pictures I drew
at all! My son's drawings were better (he looked at the
planetarium with the lights on).
The other one which is conceptually easy, but a real pain in
practice is the organ. I suppose someone with a hearing problem
would never solve that one (I tried counting notes but it was off a
bit).

GREG was overheard talking in the dark fidoalleyways to ALL
GH>Can someone tell me if I can just add a CD-ROM into my system, or
GH>should I get a full Multimedia Upgrade Kit?
No. If you want to keep the SB Basic, then just get a CD-ROM drive,
Double speed at least.
GH>I currently have a 386DX-40mhz with 4 meg of RAM, 250 meg HD, 14.4
GH>modem, and the original Sound-Blaster card. I have been told that I
GH>can just put a CD-ROM in here (with it's own controller) and it will
GH>work fine. But I have also been told that if I do that I won't be
GH>able to play audio CD's and listen to them through the sound card
GH>(like when in Windows and working on something having the CD playing
GH>in the background),
Playing of Audio CD's does not work the same as say a multimedia movie
animation with sound. Playing Audio CD's or special audio-only tracks
on a CDROM uses standard CD audio playback methods that your home CD
player would use. The audio does not get read from the CD, go into your
computer's processor, and sent to the Sound blaster as a digitized audio
data like a .WAV file does. A connector usually comes with the CD ROM
drive to connect the drive to the sound blaster's analog audio input,
where the audio can be sampled or routed to the speakers directly (if
you've ever run Window's Mixer program, you will see a channel labeled
CD. That controls this input on the card itself). As long as your sound
blaster has this input on the card, your'e in business. If you dont,
there is still a headphone jack on the front of the CD ROM drive to
allow you to listen to Audio CD tracks. I listen to Audio CD's
frequently and it works fine.
GH>this moment. Should I wait until I can, or can I put a $150
GH>doublespin in here and get the CD-ROM advantages now and upgrade my n
GH>sound card later? And if I do that do you have a recommendation as
GH>which drive to get? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
I reccommend the Mitsumi FX001D, it's about $120, comes with the
interface card, and has the audio cable. You can connect the audio
cable to their card and have the audio output we discussed come out of
two RCA jacks at the back of the card, or you can connect it to the
sound blaster and still use the Mitsumi interface card to connect the CD-
ROM data input/output to the computer.
Hope this helped, and let us know how it turns out!

Read: [N/A] Private: No
SH~ HELP!! I have the Zork Hint book and all the answers keep on saying that y
SH~ have to put on the Dwarvin Miners Helmet. (Where is THAT AT!??) I read the
SH~ whole book and didn't see any clue as to where it is.
Return To Zork
Almost-Full-Point Solution
NOTE : At certain points in the solve I will tell you to use an item, and not
tell you to pick it up again, or just mention the existence of an item in a
certain room. Make sure you pick EVERYTHING up (with the exception of the
things I tell you NOT to pick up:)). Anything that you leave behind, you
should go back and get.
Hey. Well you're playing Return to Zork, and are stucker than stuck, and
need some help. Look no further, here's the solution to the game! I didn't
get all the points (only 218/225) but the end is there either way, and here's
how to get to it. I also believe there are a few parts of the game that are
just unsolveable (ie the oven, and anything relating to hellhounds).
You start off in a mountain pass. A quick thing to do is pick up the rock
from the lower left hand part of the screen and throw it at the vulture. Then
you might be tempted to get the bonding plant from down below. Don't. My
recommendation is to wait till later in the game to get the plant. So
instead, just mosey down the path to the lighthouse. Enter the lighthouse and
babble with the lighthouse keeper. He really doesn't have very much
interesting to say at this point, so what you say doesn't matter very much.
Next go outside the lighthouse again. Now if you head down the path, you'll
be at the road to the south, unsolveable, so instead, go around the back of
the lighthouse. From here, cut the vines from the fence, and bind the wood
panels together with the vines. Now you have a raft, use it to go one space
down the river, and get off at the bridge.
You are now in the town of West Shanbar, facing the town-proper. First
easy thing to do is go to the building on the far right, it's a destroyed
hardware store. Go in, and get the box and the crank. You don't need the
mice, so leave them there. Next stop should be the close house on the right,
the school house. To get in, bang the bell with the crank or the dagger. The
school teacher will first quiz you with the games first copy-protection, and
then give you a notebook in which you can record all of your travels in the
game. Next stop is the Town Hall, close building on the left, go in, talk to
the mayor, and whatever. Then read ALL the files in the cabinets. It's a lot
of reading, and you'll be referring back to it later on (and a lot of this
solve won't make any sense without reading it). Then after you leave Town
Hall, face center of town, and turn around from there, go off to the left of
the screen, towards the mill. Go into the mill, and you'll have your first
encounter with Boos. First of MANY. Go out the other door into the backyard
of his house, and grab the key from the floor, and pull the chock out of the
water wheel (I don't actually know what this accomplishes, but it gives you
two points, so what the heck:)). Go back through the house, and back to town,
where you can now go to the building on the far left. Use the key to unlock
the door. Go in, grab the battery off the shelves, and the money and tickets
out of the cash register. Then go back to facing the bridge, and on the far
right side of the screen, your mouse arrow will point down, go this way. Here
you will meet the waif. Give him the tickets, and he will give you a gift, it
looks like a piece of lint, but it's very important later in the game. From
here, go back the old mill, and do the following. When Boos pours you a
drink, pour the drink out into the plant, then make a toast with him (glasses
clinking icon) then drink the empty glass. Repeat this four times, and he
will pass out, opening up the Great Underground Empire. But wait, you're not
done yet. Leave the mill, and re-enter it, and repeat the entire
pour/toast/drink process again, but only three times this time, after he says
"Damn Few.", click on the "Don't Drink & Drive" icon, and he will give you his
car keys. OK, don't get too excited here, you can't drive his car, but you
can now enter the GUE. Before you leave this room, also be sure to grab the
flask off of the ground by his feet.
Go down the passage you just opened, and you will be at a door, open the
door with the car keys, and you are now in a new mill! Exit this mill, and
you are now within the GUE. Follow the path straight, into East Shanbar.
First building to enter is the second one on the left. Go into Moodock's
Armoury, and have a chat with him, then play a game of Survivor (he'll explain
the rules to you). It's also impossible for you to lose in this incarnation
of Survivor (you will play a much harder version later on), so just futz
around, and once you win he will give you a sword, and a coin (not a Zorkmid
though). Next, out of the building, turn around from the center of town, and
face the bridge. Cross the bridge, and go to the left. At the Fool's
Memorial, pick up the book off of the floor. From here, proceed down the left
path again, and follow it into Snoot's Farm. Enter through the window, as the
door is locked. Enter the door second from the left, and in that room will be
the lovely Rebecca Snoot, brushing her teeth. She'll knock you out for
breaking and entering, however. When you get up, talk to her and she'll quiz
you with the second and final copy-protection of the game. Once you're out of
that predicament, from the main room, go into the door on the right side of
the room, zoom in on the cabinet, and grab the mirror from the desk. Then
again, from the main room, go through the center archway, and in the kitchen
take the soap off the sink, the thermozz from the table, and open the
refridgerator and take the meat out. (The meat will rot, don't worry about
it, you want it to rot.) From there, put the soap in the sink, and run the
water on it, you will now have soapy water, wash the waif's gift in the soap,
and lo and behold, you have a piece of a mysterious disk. Neat. In the
kitchen is also an oven that blows up if you turn it on (Why it does this is
beyond me) and a box of cereal that you can't pick up. Again, from the main
room again, go into the door on the far left. In there is Alexis the
poodle/hellhound. Click on her and she will growl at you. Nothing else is
necessary from the dog, but her growling is necessary for you to win the game.
After you leave the building, on random occasions, Rebecca will come and meet
you out on the road. When you do see her, take her picture.
Next stop is the carrot silo. From the front of Rebecca's house, go up
and to the right, and you will be at the carrot silo. Take the crank, and put
it on the silo door, and crank it clockwise. The silo will explode and you
should take some of the carrots. From here, again go up and to the right, and
you will be at the Pugney farm. Go to the red house first, and DON'T take the
box off the ground. Go to the door, and open the window and talk to Pugney.
Be Apologetic, and he will let you take the box off the front lawn. Once you
finish with him, grab the box, and now go to the blue barn behind the red
house. Go inside with the cow, and take a clump of hay from the ground (left
bottom corner) pick it up, drop it again, and then take the matches and light
the hay on fire. Now warm your hands by the fire, and milk the cow with the
thermozz. Then feed the cow the carrots. Next stop, back to Rebecca's house,
and go into her kitchen (or bathroom) and fill the flask (not the thermozz)
with water. Now go back to East Shanbar and go to the last building on the
left. Pull lever 1 and the top of the incinerator will open. Throw the bra
box into the incinerator, and pull lever 1 again. Then pull lever 2, and
zoom in on the drawer. Pour the water from the flask onto the hot wire, and
pick the wire up.
Now take that wire, and enter the first building on the left (from the
center of town) and use the wire to pick the lock. Shake the cereal box.
Shake it again. Take the whistle. Next pick up the rats, and IMMEDIATELY put
them into the box you picked up earlier. (The meat you picked up, by now,
should have rotted away) Make SURE you put the rats into the box, or you
will die a quick death. Next up is go from the center of town, straight out,
to the fork in the road, pick the left one first. Pick the tiles up off the
floor, and then turn around, and pick the frame up off the floor. Drop the
tiles into the frame, and you have a lovely word puzzle. The solution to the
puzzle is "Water unseen at falls mix with bat dropping yields potion for", and
once you get that far, the last block will fall into place, "invisibility".
Now, in the same place, twirl around once more, and pick up the disk piece and
the two pieces of illuminyte off the floor. From here, go back to the center
of town, and enter the first building on the right (by this point most people
will be telling you that you stink). Buy a room from Molly Kettle, and go up
to your room in the elevator. Enter the room, and place the illuminyte rocks
onto the nightstand. Then zoom in on the monitor, and turn the radio on.
Then turn the lights off. You will have a dream about Morpheus, the head
bad-guy of the game. Next, get up, turn the lights back on, and take your
illuminyte back (make sure to turn the lights on first). Exit this building
now.
Now for the hard parts. There are now two mazes to deal with. One is
rather vicious, and one is just annoying because of what you have to do. The
first woods we will discuss is the Whispering Woods, the right fork in the
road from the path straight out of town. First things first, however. Go
back to the silo, grab more carrots. Go back to the cow, pour your thermozz
milk into the flask, and then milk the cow again (it must be done the same way
as earlier). Now go to the Whispering Woods. Once you enter, your vision
will start deteriorating. Once the comment reads "Can you see the Galactic
Milky-Way?", drink ALL the milk you have, it should say that your vision is

now good enough to break any spell. If it says this, and gives you five
points, your done. If not, repeat the same process over again (milking cow,
etc), and the second time it will give you the points (I had to do it twice).
Once this is accomplished, here is a map of the woods.

T T T T T T creators made the maps, I have to show one
T TTT TTT T T T T tree as two. So it is actually only six
T T T T T T T paces from the entrance straight south, not
TTTTTTTTTTTTTxTTT 12 as it may seem.
Ok, so my map-drawing facilities aren't first class. But you get the
picture. Once you get out of the maze, you may have noticed a whispering in
the woods (wow what a coincidence) it says "two rings begin, three rings
return" (or maybe it's vice-versa, anyway, that irrelevant). You will now be
standing at a dock with a bell. Ring it twice (or is it three? Again,
irrelevant, just ring it again if the ferryman doesn't come on two). Now the
ferryman will arrive with his hand extended. Show him the coin Moodock gave
you, and he will ferry you across the river. You are now on Canuk's Island.
Go to his house. At the door, you will see a magnet on top of the door.
We'll be getting that later:) Once inside, you will see a duck, a ship in a
bottle, a scroll, and blueprints. Take the scroll and read it to the duck.
Whammo, Canuk will appear. He will tell you some babble about the history of
Zork and whatnot. Show him the disk pieces. He will now transport you into
the ship in a bottle. Go into the bottle, and wander around. The time limit,
I don't think is enforced (if it's really 20 minutes, it's MUCH more than you
need). Get onto the ship, and go up the stairs, and you will see a number,
write it down. Now go back downstairs, and down the stairs again. Pick up
the rag off the cabinet, and zoom in on the safe. Enter the number you just
wrote down into the safe, and open it. Now take the disk piece and the rusty
metal thing out of it. Once you've done this, take your mirror, and put it in
your hand (ie your mouse cursor shows you holding it). Exit the boat. Canuk,
who you may have noticed by now, is controlled by Morpheus, will try to turn
you into a duck. But since you are holding the mirror, it will reflect back
at him. Now take the scroll, and feed it to the duck, he will lay an egg.
Take the egg, and exit the house. Now cut the egg open with your knife. And
you will have the scroll (I don't think this affects the gameplay, but it's
nice to have:)).
Next thing off, get back onto the boat (show the ferryman the coin again,
and of course ring the bell a few times to get him there) and find your way
back out of the forest. Now another quick thing to do is to go into town and
show the blacksmith (second building on the right) your rusty old sword. Get
him to fix the sword, and pay any fee he requests. He may tell you to come
back in a little while, just wander around until it is fixed.
Next thing is to go into the other forest, the left fork from the fork in
road from the path out of town. Once in, the first thing you should do is the
following, go NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, and you will be at a tree. Hit the
tree with your sword, and it'll break the sword (and also drop some coins on
the ground) take the coins. Now exit the forest again, via NORTH WEST WEST
SOUTH, and go to the blacksmith. Complain to him that your sword is broken.
He will mumble something, and give you a receipt for a new sword. Now go to
the center of town again, and turn around, to face the bridge, go to the left,
and you will be at Ben's boathouse. Talk to Ben. Ask him about the knot he's
holding in his hand. Show him the picture of Rebecca if you've taken it buy
now, and he will give you a sealed letter (if you don't have the picture yet,
no rush, don't worry) and finally, give him the receipt from the blacksmith,
and he will give you the True Dwarven Sword of Zork. How nice. Now back to
the forest (on the fork left). This a pretty vicious forest and has lots of
nasty things in it, and is rather big, as well, here again is another attempt
at mapping it:)

The metallic tree has already been explained. To get past the bowman, you
must make sure to have some milk in your containers. Just give him the milk
and he will go away, and leave his bow and arrows. Take them. Next go to the
Grue/Fairy area. It will say "It's dark, just like Grues like it." Light a
match (the same way you would use your inventory anywhere else), and the fairy
you just rescued will talk to you, be real friendly with her, and she'll give
you fairy dust (you might have to talk to her once or twice to get the dust
from her). Next stop, the tree spirit. Get her to babble her annoying songs.
She really isn't very useful at all. So just get out of there when you get
bored. Now the leaf trap. When you see the leaves, drop something in it (not
your sword) the trap will be sprung. Now just use your sword to cut your
leaves, and whatever you threw in will fall to the ground, just pick it up.
Now go to the boar memorial. Strike the memorial thrice (three times) with
your sword, and you will get another disk piece. You can go to the spider,
but you can't get past it yet anyway, so why bother, get out of this maze.
Next stop, get your bootie back to Canuk's House (go through the
whispering woods again). Now at his door, look at the magnet. Neat, eh? Pry
it off with you sword. Now stand there, holding the magnet. Use magnet with
whistle. Blow away on the whistle, and a vulture will come swooping down. Uh
oh! Not at all, this vulture will carry you to anywhere that you need to go
in the game! So just go to Pugney's Farm first, go to the barn again, (now
might not be a bad time to fill up on milk), and go to the left behind the
barn. You will be at the Vulture Pits. Pour the fairy dust onto the rotting
meat, and throw it. The vultures will come out and eat the meat and fall
asleep. Go into the pits and take the talon. Next, run over to the screen
one screen in front of Rebecca's house (it has signs to the cliffs and
Rebecca's house). Go to the left, and follow that path to the Cliffs of
Depression. Take the rope from the railing. Now go back into town, and go
back to Ben the boatman. Pay him for the boat. Zoom in on the boat, and take
the rats out of the box and put them into the motor. Now you will be at the
Witch's house. Go on inside, she won't bite. Ok, be careful what expressions
you show to the witch, just be friendly. Then show her the milk that you have
and she will let you take the bat cage, do so. Then show her the sealed
letter from Ben, and she will give you staff, take it. Then she's outta
there. Now you can either go through the swamp, or use the vulture to get
out. I recommend going through the swamp, you get 5 points for it. To do so,
you must walk one step out of the witch's house. Then take her staff, and
place it on the ground in front of you, if it falls in, it is not safe to walk
there, if it stands on it, you can proceed. I can't map that, as the swamp is
different for each person, and possibly each time. Just get out, its usually
not more than 7 or 8 steps. Once out of the swamp, first stop is going to be
west shanbar, that's on the above ground level of the map. Go first to the
mayor, and show him the Zorkian book (you got it from the Fool's Memorial),
he will translate a joke for you. Now go to Ms. Peepers (the schoolhouse) and
show her the book, she will tell you that Rebecca can translate it. Next stop
is back down below. Wander around until Rebecca shows up, and play her the
quote from Ms. Peepers about her being able to translate it, then show her the
book. Next off, go back to Witch Ita, and show her the book (if she's not
there, just wander around until she shows up again), and she will translate
one more joke. Then go to the blacksmith, and pay his fee, and he will
translate the last joke. Now go back to the Valley of the Vultures (Mountain
Pass, where you start the game) (remember just click anywhere on the map

knife to dig up the bonding plant. Now go back to the Cliffs of Depression.
Tie the rope to the tree, and climb down the side of the cliff and go into the
Comedy Club. Now playback the four jokes that the people just told you to
the audience. When you are done, Cliff will give you a disk piece. Now go to
the lighthouse. Give the keeper a piece of illuminyte, and show him your disk
pieces, he will give you the final piece. Go up to the top of the lighthouse
and tie the rope onto the railing using the cow-knot that Ben taught you.
Then tie the vulture talon onto the rope, and throw the rope across the river.
The talon will boomerang back and tie itself around the railing, and you will
have a nice rope bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the path to the Temple
Bel Naire. Take the shield from the statue, and go into the Temple. Show the
Holy Woman your sword and she will bless it for you. Now exit the Temple, and
turn around once. There will be a gateway in the right side of the screen,
follow that path to the dwarf camp. Talk to the Dwarven dudes, and they will
give you a hardhat. Take it. Then go up to the top left part of the screen
and go to the mining cart. Now this is very annoying. The path you must
follow to escape the mining maze is the following, where L is Left, R is
Right, and S is Straight. Make sure to only click once at each intersection,
as the dumb game buffers your mouse clicks and it will screw you up
occasionally. The path is L R S R L R S R L L R S. (By the way that puzzle
is easy, just write down each word the dwarves say to each other that is Left,
Right or Straight). Once out, you will be at the temple of the muses. From
left to right, but the following items on each of the statues :
1) Staff
2) Talon
3) Thermozz
Center) Nothing
4) Helmet AND Box
5) Shield
6) Tele-Orb
Then place the disk pieces on the bowl in front, and hit a button (green I
think I hit, I don't think it matters) watch the ensuing stupidity, and they
will reassemble your disk into a whole again. The center statue is different,
he is not a muse, but the "Catcher" (detailed in the Mayor's filing cabinets).
Make sure to pick up all the items once you are done. Now take the vulture
down to the Hero's Memorial. Take the right fork in the road, and go into the
Troll Cave. Put your helmet on and all will be lit up. At the first troll,
swing left, the next, swing up, the third, swing down. Then at the troll
king, click on "Threatening" until he wimps out and gives you the necklace.
Now go back to the green forest, and find your way to the spider. Show the
spider the necklace, and he will wimp out. Then go up Flood Control Damn #3
(!), and fill up your flask from the "backside of the water". Now go to the
whispering woods, and go one space in, and release the bats. Pick up the bat
guano, and drop it into the flask with the clear water (from FCD#3). You now
have an invisibility potion. Now off to the Cliffs of Depression. From
there, turn around and go to the left. Throw the Flying Disk of Frobozz, and
it will dispel the illusion.
Go forward into the castle, and shoot the bow and arrow at the gates, and
the hand will open the door for you. Once in, an orc will start attacking
you. Drink the invisibility potion, and then play back the recording of
Alexis the hellhound barking, the orc will wimp out and run away. Now, at the
Citadel Bridge, throw *EVERYTHING* that you have at the bridge, until you have
NOTHING left in your inventory. The bridge will come back up. SAVE THE GAME
NOW:) Go over the bridge for your final confrontation with Morpheus. A game
of Survivor. Only now you play Trembyle instead of Canuk, which makes the
game VERY hard. Here is the pattern to win, the number represents what order
you should make the moves in. If he blocks the move, pass your turn, and he
will move to another space, do NOT deviate from the course I give here, or you
will have to forfeit and will have to start over again.
0 5 12 9 0=Where you start
11 8 1 4 14=Where you will end
6 3 10 13 C=Where Canuk/Morpheus will die
C 14 7 2
Again, if he blocks your move, do NOT go anywhere else, just pass your turn,
he MUST move, he is not allowed to pass. Once you complete this, you've
won the game! Congratulations.
The ending of the game is kinda bad, but the game itself is pretty good, I
enjoyed it a lot. Some of the puzzles (the bra box) were ridiculous, and some
of the scenes (the Mining Maze, COME ON! Infocom games are NOT coordination
games) really annoyed me, but all in all it was a pretty good game. I don't
know where to find the remaining 7 points, but obviously it isn't very
important. Till next time, seeya!

PC~ If anyone else has any hints, PLEASE share, I could use the help.
OK.......
Return To Zork
Almost-Full-Point Solution
NOTE : At certain points in the solve I will tell you to use an item, and not
tell you to pick it up again, or just mention the existence of an item in a
certain room. Make sure you pick EVERYTHING up (with the exception of the
things I tell you NOT to pick up:)). Anything that you leave behind, you
should go back and get.
Hey. Well you're playing Return to Zork, and are stucker than stuck, and
need some help. Look no further, here's the solution to the game! I didn't
get all the points (only 218/225) but the end is there either way, and here's
how to get to it. I also believe there are a few parts of the game that are
just unsolveable (ie the oven, and anything relating to hellhounds).
You start off in a mountain pass. A quick thing to do is pick up the rock
from the lower left hand part of the screen and throw it at the vulture. Then
you might be tempted to get the bonding plant from down below. Don't. My
recommendation is to wait till later in the game to get the plant. So
instead, just mosey down the path to the lighthouse. Enter the lighthouse and
babble with the lighthouse keeper. He really doesn't have very much
interesting to say at this point, so what you say doesn't matter very much.
Next go outside the lighthouse again. Now if you head down the path, you'll
be at the road to the south, unsolveable, so instead, go around the back of
the lighthouse. From here, cut the vines from the fence, and bind the wood
panels together with the vines. Now you have a raft, use it to go one space
down the river, and get off at the bridge.
You are now in the town of West Shanbar, facing the town-proper. First
easy thing to do is go to the building on the far right, it's a destroyed
hardware store. Go in, and get the box and the crank. You don't need the
mice, so leave them there. Next stop should be the close house on the right,
the school house. To get in, bang the bell with the crank or the dagger. The
school teacher will first quiz you with the games first copy-protection, and
then give you a notebook in which you can record all of your travels in the
game. Next stop is the Town Hall, close building on the left, go in, talk to
the mayor, and whatever. Then read ALL the files in the cabinets. It's a lot
of reading, and you'll be referring back to it later on (and a lot of this
solve won't make any sense without reading it). Then after you leave Town
Hall, face center of town, and turn around from there, go off to the left of
the screen, towards the mill. Go into the mill, and you'll have your first
encounter with Boos. First of MANY. Go out the other door into the backyard
of his house, and grab the key from the floor, and pull the chock out of the
water wheel (I don't actually know what this accomplishes, but it gives you
two points, so what the heck:)). Go back through the house, and back to town,
where you can now go to the building on the far left. Use the key to unlock
the door. Go in, grab the battery off the shelves, and the money and tickets
out of the cash register. Then go back to facing the bridge, and on the far
right side of the screen, your mouse arrow will point down, go this way. Here
you will meet the waif. Give him the tickets, and he will give you a gift, it
looks like a piece of lint, but it's very important later in the game. From
here, go back the old mill, and do the following. When Boos pours you a
drink, pour the drink out into the plant, then make a toast with him (glasses
clinking icon) then drink the empty glass. Repeat this four times, and he
will pass out, opening up the Great Underground Empire. But wait, you're not
done yet. Leave the mill, and re-enter it, and repeat the entire
pour/toast/drink process again, but only three times this time, after he says
"Damn Few.", click on the "Don't Drink & Drive" icon, and he will give you his
car keys. OK, don't get too excited here, you can't drive his car, but you
can now enter the GUE. Before you leave this room, also be sure to grab the
flask off of the ground by his feet.
Go down the passage you just opened, and you will be at a door, open the
door with the car keys, and you are now in a new mill! Exit this mill, and
you are now within the GUE. Follow the path straight, into East Shanbar.
First building to enter is the second one on the left. Go into Moodock's
Armoury, and have a chat with him, then play a game of Survivor (he'll explain
the rules to you). It's also impossible for you to lose in this incarnation
of Survivor (you will play a much harder version later on), so just futz
around, and once you win he will give you a sword, and a coin (not a Zorkmid
though). Next, out of the building, turn around from the center of town, and
face the bridge. Cross the bridge, and go to the left. At the Fool's
Memorial, pick up the book off of the floor. From here, proceed down the left
path again, and follow it into Snoot's Farm. Enter through the window, as the
door is locked. Enter the door second from the left, and in that room will be
the lovely Rebecca Snoot, brushing her teeth. She'll knock you out for
breaking and entering, however. When you get up, talk to her and she'll quiz
you with the second and final copy-protection of the game. Once you're out of
that predicament, from the main room, go into the door on the right side of
the room, zoom in on the cabinet, and grab the mirror from the desk. Then
again, from the main room, go through the center archway, and in the kitchen
take the soap off the sink, the thermozz from the table, and open the
refridgerator and take the meat out. (The meat will rot, don't worry about
it, you want it to rot.) From there, put the soap in the sink, and run the
water on it, you will now have soapy water, wash the waif's gift in the soap,
and lo and behold, you have a piece of a mysterious disk. Neat. In the
kitchen is also an oven that blows up if you turn it on (Why it does this is
beyond me) and a box of cereal that you can't pick up. Again, from the main
room again, go into the door on the far left. In there is Alexis the
poodle/hellhound. Click on her and she will growl at you. Nothing else is
necessary from the dog, but her growling is necessary for you to win the game.
After you leave the building, on random occasions, Rebecca will come and meet
you out on the road. When you do see her, take her picture.
Next stop is the carrot silo. From the front of Rebecca's house, go up
and to the right, and you will be at the carrot silo. Take the crank, and put
it on the silo door, and crank it clockwise. The silo will explode and you
should take some of the carrots. From here, again go up and to the right, and
you will be at the Pugney farm. Go to the red house first, and DON'T take the
box off the ground. Go to the door, and open the window and talk to Pugney.
Be Apologetic, and he will let you take the box off the front lawn. Once you
finish with him, grab the box, and now go to the blue barn behind the red
house. Go inside with the cow, and take a clump of hay from the ground (left
bottom corner) pick it up, drop it again, and then take the matches and light
the hay on fire. Now warm your hands by the fire, and milk the cow with the
thermozz. Then feed the cow the carrots. Next stop, back to Rebecca's house,
and go into her kitchen (or bathroom) and fill the flask (not the thermozz)
with water. Now go back to East Shanbar and go to the last building on the
left. Pull lever 1 and the top of the incinerator will open. Throw the bra
box into the incinerator, and pull lever 1 again. Then pull lever 2, and
zoom in on the drawer. Pour the water from the flask onto the hot wire, and
pick the wire up.
Now take that wire, and enter the first building on the left (from the
center of town) and use the wire to pick the lock. Shake the cereal box.
Shake it again. Take the whistle. Next pick up the rats, and IMMEDIATELY put
them into the box you picked up earlier. (The meat you picked up, by now,
should have rotted away) Make SURE you put the rats into the box, or you
will die a quick death. Next up is go from the center of town, straight out,
to the fork in the road, pick the left one first. Pick the tiles up off the
floor, and then turn around, and pick the frame up off the floor. Drop the
tiles into the frame, and you have a lovely word puzzle. The solution to the
puzzle is "Water unseen at falls mix with bat dropping yields potion for", and
once you get that far, the last block will fall into place, "invisibility".
Now, in the same place, twirl around once more, and pick up the disk piece and
the two pieces of illuminyte off the floor. From here, go back to the center
of town, and enter the first building on the right (by this point most people
will be telling you that you stink). Buy a room from Molly Kettle, and go up
to your room in the elevator. Enter the room, and place the illuminyte rocks
onto the nightstand. Then zoom in on the monitor, and turn the radio on.
Then turn the lights off. You will have a dream about Morpheus, the head
bad-guy of the game. Next, get up, turn the lights back on, and take your
illuminyte back (make sure to turn the lights on first). Exit this building
now.
Now for the hard parts. There are now two mazes to deal with. One is
rather vicious, and one is just annoying because of what you have to do. The
first woods we will discuss is the Whispering Woods, the right fork in the
road from the path straight out of town. First things first, however. Go
back to the silo, grab more carrots. Go back to the cow, pour your thermozz
milk into the flask, and then milk the cow again (it must be done the same way
as earlier). Now go to the Whispering Woods. Once you enter, your vision
will start deteriorating. Once the comment reads "Can you see the Galactic
Milky-Way?", drink ALL the milk you have, it should say that your vision is

now good enough to break any spell. If it says this, and gives you five
points, your done. If not, repeat the same process over again (milking cow,
etc), and the second time it will give you the points (I had to do it twice).
Once this is accomplished, here is a map of the woods.

T TTT T T T T T T NOTE : Due to an annoying way that this game's
T T T T T T creators made the maps, I have to show one
T TTT TTT T T T T tree as two. So it is actually only six
T T T T T T T paces from the entrance straight south, not
TTTTTTTTTTTTTxTTT 12 as it may seem.
Ok, so my map-drawing facilities aren't first class. But you get the
picture. Once you get out of the maze, you may have noticed a whispering in
the woods (wow what a coincidence) it says "two rings begin, three rings
return" (or maybe it's vice-versa, anyway, that irrelevant). You will now be
standing at a dock with a bell. Ring it twice (or is it three? Again,
irrelevant, just ring it again if the ferryman doesn't come on two). Now the
ferryman will arrive with his hand extended. Show him the coin Moodock gave
you, and he will ferry you across the river. You are now on Canuk's Island.
Go to his house. At the door, you will see a magnet on top of the door.
We'll be getting that later:) Once inside, you will see a duck, a ship in a
bottle, a scroll, and blueprints. Take the scroll and read it to the duck.
Whammo, Canuk will appear. He will tell you some babble about the history of
Zork and whatnot. Show him the disk pieces. He will now transport you into
the ship in a bottle. Go into the bottle, and wander around. The time limit,
I don't think is enforced (if it's really 20 minutes, it's MUCH more than you
need). Get onto the ship, and go up the stairs, and you will see a number,
write it down. Now go back downstairs, and down the stairs again. Pick up
the rag off the cabinet, and zoom in on the safe. Enter the number you just
wrote down into the safe, and open it. Now take the disk piece and the rusty
metal thing out of it. Once you've done this, take your mirror, and put it in
your hand (ie your mouse cursor shows you holding it). Exit the boat. Canuk,
who you may have noticed by now, is controlled by Morpheus, will try to turn
you into a duck. But since you are holding the mirror, it will reflect back
at him. Now take the scroll, and feed it to the duck, he will lay an egg.
Take the egg, and exit the house. Now cut the egg open with your knife. And
you will have the scroll (I don't think this affects the gameplay, but it's
nice to have:)).
Next thing off, get back onto the boat (show the ferryman the coin again,
and of course ring the bell a few times to get him there) and find your way
back out of the forest. Now another quick thing to do is to go into town and
show the blacksmith (second building on the right) your rusty old sword. Get
him to fix the sword, and pay any fee he requests. He may tell you to come
back in a little while, just wander around until it is fixed.
Next thing is to go into the other forest, the left fork from the fork in
road from the path out of town. Once in, the first thing you should do is the
following, go NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, and you will be at a tree. Hit the
tree with your sword, and it'll break the sword (and also drop some coins on
the ground) take the coins. Now exit the forest again, via NORTH WEST WEST
SOUTH, and go to the blacksmith. Complain to him that your sword is broken.
He will mumble something, and give you a receipt for a new sword. Now go to
the center of town again, and turn around, to face the bridge, go to the left,
and you will be at Ben's boathouse. Talk to Ben. Ask him about the knot he's
holding in his hand. Show him the picture of Rebecca if you've taken it buy
now, and he will give you a sealed letter (if you don't have the picture yet,
no rush, don't worry) and finally, give him the receipt from the blacksmith,
and he will give you the True Dwarven Sword of Zork. How nice. Now back to
the forest (on the fork left). This a pretty vicious forest and has lots of
nasty things in it, and is rather big, as well, here again is another attempt
at mapping it:)

The metallic tree has already been explained. To get past the bowman, you
must make sure to have some milk in your containers. Just give him the milk
and he will go away, and leave his bow and arrows. Take them. Next go to the
Grue/Fairy area. It will say "It's dark, just like Grues like it." Light a
match (the same way you would use your inventory anywhere else), and the fairy
you just rescued will talk to you, be real friendly with her, and she'll give
you fairy dust (you might have to talk to her once or twice to get the dust
from her). Next stop, the tree spirit. Get her to babble her annoying songs.
She really isn't very useful at all. So just get out of there when you get
bored. Now the leaf trap. When you see the leaves, drop something in it (not
your sword) the trap will be sprung. Now just use your sword to cut your
leaves, and whatever you threw in will fall to the ground, just pick it up.
Now go to the boar memorial. Strike the memorial thrice (three times) with
your sword, and you will get another disk piece. You can go to the spider,
but you can't get past it yet anyway, so why bother, get out of this maze.
Next stop, get your bootie back to Canuk's House (go through the
whispering woods again). Now at his door, look at the magnet. Neat, eh? Pry
it off with you sword. Now stand there, holding the magnet. Use magnet with
whistle. Blow away on the whistle, and a vulture will come swooping down. Uh
oh! Not at all, this vulture will carry you to anywhere that you need to go
in the game! So just go to Pugney's Farm first, go to the barn again, (now
might not be a bad time to fill up on milk), and go to the left behind the
barn. You will be at the Vulture Pits. Pour the fairy dust onto the rotting
meat, and throw it. The vultures will come out and eat the meat and fall
asleep. Go into the pits and take the talon. Next, run over to the screen
one screen in front of Rebecca's house (it has signs to the cliffs and
Rebecca's house). Go to the left, and follow that path to the Cliffs of
Depression. Take the rope from the railing. Now go back into town, and go
back to Ben the boatman. Pay him for the boat. Zoom in on the boat, and take
the rats out of the box and put them into the motor. Now you will be at the
Witch's house. Go on inside, she won't bite. Ok, be careful what expressions
you show to the witch, just be friendly. Then show her the milk that you have
and she will let you take the bat cage, do so. Then show her the sealed
letter from Ben, and she will give you staff, take it. Then she's outta
there. Now you can either go through the swamp, or use the vulture to get
out. I recommend going through the swamp, you get 5 points for it. To do so,
you must walk one step out of the witch's house. Then take her staff, and
place it on the ground in front of you, if it falls in, it is not safe to walk
there, if it stands on it, you can proceed. I can't map that, as the swamp is
different for each person, and possibly each time. Just get out, its usually
not more than 7 or 8 steps. Once out of the swamp, first stop is going to be
west shanbar, that's on the above ground level of the map. Go first to the
mayor, and show him the Zorkian book (you got it from the Fool's Memorial),
he will translate a joke for you. Now go to Ms. Peepers (the schoolhouse) and
show her the book, she will tell you that Rebecca can translate it. Next stop
is back down below. Wander around until Rebecca shows up, and play her the
quote from Ms. Peepers about her being able to translate it, then show her the
book. Next off, go back to Witch Ita, and show her the book (if she's not
there, just wander around until she shows up again), and she will translate
one more joke. Then go to the blacksmith, and pay his fee, and he will
translate the last joke. Now go back to the Valley of the Vultures (Mountain
Pass, where you start the game) (remember just click anywhere on the map

knife to dig up the bonding plant. Now go back to the Cliffs of Depression.
Tie the rope to the tree, and climb down the side of the cliff and go into the
Comedy Club. Now playback the four jokes that the people just told you to
the audience. When you are done, Cliff will give you a disk piece. Now go to
the lighthouse. Give the keeper a piece of illuminyte, and show him your disk
pieces, he will give you the final piece. Go up to the top of the lighthouse
and tie the rope onto the railing using the cow-knot that Ben taught you.
Then tie the vulture talon onto the rope, and throw the rope across the river.
The talon will boomerang back and tie itself around the railing, and you will
have a nice rope bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the path to the Temple
Bel Naire. Take the shield from the statue, and go into the Temple. Show the
Holy Woman your sword and she will bless it for you. Now exit the Temple, and
turn around once. There will be a gateway in the right side of the screen,
follow that path to the dwarf camp. Talk to the Dwarven dudes, and they will
give you a hardhat. Take it. Then go up to the top left part of the screen
and go to the mining cart. Now this is very annoying. The path you must
follow to escape the mining maze is the following, where L is Left, R is
Right, and S is Straight. Make sure to only click once at each intersection,
as the dumb game buffers your mouse clicks and it will screw you up
occasionally. The path is L R S R L R S R L L R S. (By the way that puzzle
is easy, just write down each word the dwarves say to each other that is Left,
Right or Straight). Once out, you will be at the temple of the muses. From
left to right, but the following items on each of the statues :
1) Staff
2) Talon
3) Thermozz
Center) Nothing
4) Helmet AND Box
5) Shield
6) Tele-Orb
Then place the disk pieces on the bowl in front, and hit a button (green I
think I hit, I don't think it matters) watch the ensuing stupidity, and they
will reassemble your disk into a whole again. The center statue is different,
he is not a muse, but the "Catcher" (detailed in the Mayor's filing cabinets).
Make sure to pick up all the items once you are done. Now take the vulture
down to the Hero's Memorial. Take the right fork in the road, and go into the
Troll Cave. Put your helmet on and all will be lit up. At the first troll,
swing left, the next, swing up, the third, swing down. Then at the troll
king, click on "Threatening" until he wimps out and gives you the necklace.
Now go back to the green forest, and find your way to the spider. Show the
spider the necklace, and he will wimp out. Then go up Flood Control Damn #3
(!), and fill up your flask from the "backside of the water". Now go to the
whispering woods, and go one space in, and release the bats. Pick up the bat
guano, and drop it into the flask with the clear water (from FCD#3). You now
have an invisibility potion. Now off to the Cliffs of Depression. From
there, turn around and go to the left. Throw the Flying Disk of Frobozz, and
it will dispel the illusion.
Go forward into the castle, and shoot the bow and arrow at the gates, and
the hand will open the door for you. Once in, an orc will start attacking
you. Drink the invisibility potion, and then play back the recording of
Alexis the hellhound barking, the orc will wimp out and run away. Now, at the
Citadel Bridge, throw *EVERYTHING* that you have at the bridge, until you have
NOTHING left in your inventory. The bridge will come back up. SAVE THE GAME
NOW:) Go over the bridge for your final confrontation with Morpheus. A game
of Survivor. Only now you play Trembyle instead of Canuk, which makes the
game VERY hard. Here is the pattern to win, the number represents what order
you should make the moves in. If he blocks the move, pass your turn, and he
will move to another space, do NOT deviate from the course I give here, or you
will have to forfeit and will have to start over again.
0 5 12 9 0=Where you start
11 8 1 4 14=Where you will end
6 3 10 13 C=Where Canuk/Morpheus will die
C 14 7 2
Again, if he blocks your move, do NOT go anywhere else, just pass your turn,
he MUST move, he is not allowed to pass. Once you complete this, you've
won the game! Congratulations.
The ending of the game is kinda bad, but the game itself is pretty good, I
enjoyed it a lot. Some of the puzzles (the bra box) were ridiculous, and some
of the scenes (the Mining Maze, COME ON! Infocom games are NOT coordination
games) really annoyed me, but all in all it was a pretty good game. I don't
know where to find the remaining 7 points, but obviously it isn't very
important. Till next time, seeya!

Hi Guys/Gals,
I have just recently got a CDROM. IT is sooo good. I am really impressed
with what it can do and what it has to offer.. BUT!!!!! CAn somebody PLEASE
help me with a problem I got. (well actually 2 probs...:)
1. I have the Grolier's Encyclopeadia(The Software Toolworks Version 6). Well
it almost all works fine except for when displaying a "multimedia map". What it
basically is, is a presentation of video and speech all in one telling you in
detail of some historical event. Well take for example the GUlf war. When I try
to play that, all goes well for 1:15min out of around 3mins. Then it comes up
with this MEssage:-
MMTASK caused a general protection fault in module MCIAVI.DRV at
0004:021F.
WEll I have tried various things to correct the problem, but I cannot
fix it, I have tried reinstalling it, but it didnt work, Tried fiddling with
drivers, didnt work, check config.sys, seemed to be good, Everything seems to
be alright. I have a 486dx2/66 with Vesa Local Bus (true Colour) The card is a
Cirrus Logic.
CAn anyone help me with this, It would be greatly appreciated, any ideas
at all would be a help. THankx
(Idecided not to put my 2nd problem up cuz if this one get sort out I will be
happy enuff.)
Thankx Again

Hi Steve!
Been out of town a few days (Mehhico again for Council meeting on my

puss it off (Kiwi influence here).
One: still don't understand where Wyoming figures in your address-line:

Two: What was the connection with the Coast (or ex-coast)?
Three: (careful now, this is where the questions get real tricky!)
have you got some sort of adapter on your voice line for flicking calls
to the fax or a dedicated fax machine in behind your answer machine?:
whatever it is, how well does it work?
Got everything you said you'd send, including the Windows Phonedisk:
thank you. Phonedisk: why oh why do they have to get people to
register when they have already bought the product? Have sent them an
intemperately worded fax asking for the registration number. If I get
an intemperately worded response? Well I deserved it, I guess...
Had a phonecall next morning from a guy who said *how much* they
appreciate feedback and comment and especially mine. [Full marks I
fort.] We then talked about a reference I may be involved in, on
emerging technologies (including intellectual property issues - and yes,
reverse engineering and privacy - which is why I wanted a copy of the
Phone-disk) and the implications of all of this for people's skills in
future in order to be able to exploit new market opportunities.
Did a little demo of the Phonedisk for Council members: they were quite
fascinated. However, it took someone half a day scouring our large
corporate offices in Melbourne to find a machine with CD-ROM that
worked. Wide acceptance and utilisation of the technology may be a
way's off...

'Lo there everyone
Sorry if this is off-topic (couldn't find an echo where it would be
on-topic).
An Australian colleague of mine is about to take up a term appointment
to an academic institution in the US and is taking all(most all) her
household stuff with her.
She wants to be able to mail videos to friends in Australia and play
videos from Australia. To do this she's wondering whether she might
have to take her Australian video machine and TV to the US. This seems
like overkill.
Apparently there are compatability problems as between US and Australia
with video machines. An American academic visiting Australia recently
had the embarrassing experience of trying to show his video presentation
to a conference only find that nothing could be seen. It may have
something to do with differences in screen resolutions (and less
probably, diffs in power: we have 240 volts at, I think, 50 cycles AC as
against 110 v DC (?) US)
Anyone out there with experience/ideas on this?

It's a Panasonic KX-F110 (available only from business equipment stores). It
is a combo fax/phone/answering machine. It has too many features that I'd
never bother using but it works very well for what I wanted it for. It has
three main modes: fax, phone, TAD/FAX. The latter is the answer machine mode
which also detects fax calls. Even in phone mode if someone is persistent
enough it switches to auto mode.
To summerise - the user interface is ok, and overall it does the job.

Hi Paul,
Seeing as you know a fair bit about SCSI I was hoping you caould answer a
question I've never got a straight answer about?
Does a SCSI interface (1,2 or Wide) give any benefits as far as CD-ROM
access is concerned?
From what I've been able to determine SCSI devices have quicker access
times than IDE ones (eg. Hard drives) but seeing as the bottleneck on a
CD-ROM is the access off the CD-ROM itself, will there be any improvement
in havinf a SCSI device?
BTW I have a Pro Audio 16 SCSI with NEC CDR-55 multispin, Double Speed CD,
300Kb/s 320-350 ms access time, running on 486sx25 VLB.
Thanks for any info you can shed.

You need to use the generator in the light house in combination with the
switches under the umbrella. Each of the switches will pump out the water to an
area. (Only one switch at a time). Turn on a switch and look around the areas
for the one that is pumped out. (Do this for each switch)
You need to charge the generator to turn the lights on to the tunnels.
To turn the light on inside the ship. You may find a different path now the
light is on down to the bedrooms. Watch your step on the landings on the way.
You will find a puzzel that turns on the underwater light (which lights up the
ship room)
The button to push for this puzzel has something to do with the telescope on
top of the island. Try cranking up the generator before looking through the
telescope it may come to you in a FLASH or by DEGREES.
If you have trouble with these, drop me a line and i will give you the walk
through for this age.

Have a look around for CHKCD works like CHKDISK or use DIR /S which will list

accurate as it counts the . and .. directory entries as files and adds space
for them.

thats not 'The Art Of Compro' is it? If it is, the ROMs use is only as a
frisbee. You'll need to install some older version driver to get that to spin!
Chuck the CD ROM!!
In regards to your 1st prob. Keep an eye on your favourite BBS for the latest
drivers for Windows.
Also check that the driver I spoke to you is the only one on the HDisk.
If there is another in the SYSTEM dir, that could be the prob.
Don't give up yet, youv've got a lot of CD Roms to buy, like MegaRace
Myst, 11th Hour, MicroCosm, Rebel Assault etc etc etc.

Hi...
Just wondering if anyone could explain to me what the difference
is in Single and Double Spin drives, and if it really matters
if it's one or the other. Like, will some CD-ROMS not work unless
it's used in a DS drive?
Thanks.

Loved it! In the past there have been favorable comments appear in

perform a thorough review such as you have. For this I thank you.
It's easy for me to say that the Free CD offer is one of incredible
value, but you know as well as I do that a customer's recommendation
carries a lot more weight than a salesman's.
Thank you again for helping to get the "Good" word out on this CD.

30-50 there after soo if some one would like a copy get tham made
all at same time mabe one for the bank safety box
floppys will cost more like $20 a hr. to feed tham to the computer

Hello Dirk, I don't know the manufacture date because i didn't remove the drive
yet. But I do have the bill of sale for the drive and I bought it in Oct. of 93
from CMS Software. The advertise on fido all the time under the name of Alan
Evans. I called them and they told me that they didn't warranty the drive, they
said it was up to Panasonic to do honor the warranty. I am really at my wits
end with this and wish there was some way I could get someone to honor this
warranty. Since I bought it mail order with my visa card maybe one of them can
help me get some satisfaction. I have already sent a letter to the BBB in NJ
where Panasonic has a HQ. I hope that gets some type of reply from them.
If the drives are suposed to be warrentied through the vendor then I would
think Panasonic would return one of my 4 calls and tell me that. Any
suggestions on what else I can do?
Thanks Tony

JP> GH> Can someone tell me if I can just add a CD-ROM into my system, or
JP> GH> should I get a full Multimedia Upgrade Kit?
JP> From your description, I suggest:
JP> Buy a Matsushita CR-562-B drive w/ interface board. Upgrade the sound
Do not buy a Panasonic CR-562b or any other Panasonic drive. I have one and it
is suposed to come with a 1 year warranty. Well mine is dead now and less then
a year old but they won't fix it. They don't even want to talk to me. I have
called them 4 times on my dime and they don't even return my calls.
Buyer Beware

Hi there Michael
SH> GA-014 Doom 1.1 to 1.2 Upgrade - Shareware 6.00
SH> GA-001 DOOM! - Shareware 7.50
SH> CG-001 DOOM! Registered 42.00
MB> How are these CDs? I know Doom shareware is available on CD, but not the
MB> registered version. Besides, as far as I know, only ID can sell copies
MB> of registered Doom. I would like to have the registerd version if it is
MB> legal since my Doom takes way too much space. I'm pretty sure that the
MB> upgrade file is not on CD, but I'll let that go. <BG> If the registerd
MB> is legal, call me at 556-4257 or reply here.
ID, EPIC MegaGames, Apogee and many other Shareware Companies are now beginning
to sub-license retailers as OFFICIAL REGISTERED SOFTWARE DEALERS. I'm not sure
of each and every dealer, but if you check your SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION files
for DOOM, there should be a file called VENDOR.***. This file contains a
(somwhat hopefully) complete list of each and every OFFICIALLY REGISTERED
company that may LEGALLY distribute REGISTERED version of their Shareware
Releases.
As for playing DOOM off of a CD, Unless you have a Quad-Speed drive, I really
wouldn't recommend playing it directly off of the disc. The data transfer
speeds would be TOO SLOW to make DOOM enjoyable. Keep it on your Hard Disk and
you'll remain as a dizzy as ever 8).

Hello Ed; I'm interested in one of your Compton's CDs; how do we
exchange money/goods.
It is possible that we have been acquainted in the Valley; I worked in
real estate with Wally Van Wyk. I worked at one time with Lou Duchek a
member of that firm. The gentleman I knew was from the Waco Area, I
believe. Thanks and.......

ESWell, do you know the twist spell? I can't remember where you learn it but
ESif you do it on the water tornado it'll say something like "That only
EStwisted it tighter". Do the opposite of that spell. It works...
To do the untwist spell you have to do the twist spell backwards. I
think the twist spell was the one for the spinning wheel or something
like that. It's been a long time.

SL>What is on this CD? Does it have a lot of Maximus BBS programs?
SDN - Shareware Distribution Network - It has a reasonable amount
of BBS support files for most of the packages available through
the Nets. It was mastered about 6/92, so I don't know if there
would be current Maximus related programs that you could find use in.
We do however have a new CD out that that would better suite your

Thank you for your inquiry Steven. If I can answer any other questions

Hello James!

It already does, along with searching for matching text inside the
archived files, for Profit Group Mega and FAO CD's.
JP>When it found a match, it could generate a listing similar
JP>to WHEREIS...path:name, path:name, etc.
It will on individual files that are highlighted, but as far as
generating an external listing of all files with path:name, no it
doesn't't. If you have a particular file highlighted, a simple ALT-I
should give you the path:name information.Is this what you're talking
about James? Or are you speaking in terms of having MegaSearch creating
the external listing to a separate text file?

DL> Hi to all, is it a way to speed up cd-rom? some cache program
DL> to make cd-rom run faster?
Yes there is ! There's several good cache programs on the market right
now, but I will say this, use a cache only on an old slow system !!
If you have a cdrom player that offer's double spin or even higher, you'd
be wasting your money on caching the unit as the speed increase wouldn't
be noticable.
Hope this helps...

Yes you can. My setup is a 486DX-33, 420M HD, 8M RAM, and a
Soundblaster Basic as well. I've just got two sets of speakers,
the cheap set connected to the SB,(I'm gonna u/g that as soon as
I find a good enough deal w/ my spec.'s), and the good set
connected to the headphone jack on the CD-ROM so I can get good
audio. I recommend that you get the best CD you can and wait on
the sound card. I have a Chinon 535 CD,(SCSI so I can add on an
HD or scanner or something whenever I take a notion), and am
looking at a PAS 16 sound card,(look in back issues and compare
price drops). The Chinon has a caddy but I look at it like this,
after I decide a particular CD is a "keeper", I get it it's own
caddy and never touch the CD again. Something you might want to
keep in mind is that if you only have a basic VGA monitor, you'll
be wanting more very soon after you get the CD so consider that
when deciding how much to spend on the CD. Good Luck.

I've read elsewhere that the March '94 Hobbes has an old version of 2.11 that

interested in the CD mainly for the sake of the 2.11 service pak.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hello All!
I have a Mitsumi FX001D drive and am running Zork on it. When I use DMA
transfer or software interrupt polling, the game often halts with no obvious
reasons, but always at the same points within the game (e.g. no quickload at
the start of the game possible).
The only way to solve the problem is to eject the CD and drive the tray in
again. The program gives a drive error, and after the CD was detected, the game
continues until the next halt.
When I use a pure software polling, everything runs fine.
I tried all possible IRQs and DMA channels. No way.
I wonder if there is a bug in the driver? V2.22 currently in use.

Personally, I find these requirements too low. I work with a 486/66, 8 Mega ram

requires, of course, lesser than the windows version.
Sorry my English isn't perfect, else I could you tell more about this cdrom.

My double-speed drive (not a Mits) has a single-speed mode (for compatibility

Have a good trip! It must be beautiful this time of year. I need to go see my

I'm working on the game as and when I can. Been taking a few days off to have
the carpet cleaned... Had to get everything off the floor. What a job! We
had a pile going in our "junk room" of stuff we plan to sell at a yard sale and
we had to go thru all of it and find another home for it. We got rid of a lot
of stuff, but we still have too much junk. When the guy came to clean the
carpet, he asked if we wanted the closets done. I told him he'd get injured if
he opened the closet doors. I guess you can tell we're a bunch of packrats,
but we're getting over it. We're starting to realize we only have so much
space and just don't have room to hang onto stuff we're never going to use.
The house is cleaner now than it's been in a long time, though. I'm a terrible
housekeeper and it usually takes some kind of big motivation to get me to dig
in and clean the place up. I'm hoping I can keep it clean now, tho, because
it's so much easier to keep it clean than it is to clean it up once I've let it
get really messy.
I'll chat atcha later. Let me know how your trip was.

Hi Cindy Well I made it back and it was nice in Ole Virginny. The winter ice
storm had topped all of the trees in the mountains and they looked like they
had a bad haircut. Apple crop is going to be small this year. The cherries
were as small as gooseberries. Benn letting a kid down the block play my game
and he ahs a found a few mistakes and there is a lot of dialogue that I should
have out in. Having a hard time forcing myself to get with it and fix that.
You said earlier that you had been doing some animation. For the life of me I
can't figure out how to make that work. I have used the example in the
tutorial but I just does not make sense to me. If you have a chance write me a
simple array with maybe just a line that moves across the screen then maybe I
can figure it out. I am very dense at times! Been looking at taking a home
study in visual c from NRI. Really want to write another game but want to do
it in a more sophisticated way. Have you played with c? Thought about buying
a microsoft c programmer but the cost is so high and I am scared of that
commitment without any help. It took me nearly a year and a half to get where
I am in QBASIC. Well,drop me a line. Got to drop the sysop a line. For some
reason I am hanging up in his main menu and my telix program works fine with
other boards. Can't figure it out. Hope he doesn't drop me. See ya.

Actually I didn't figure so good. :-) The price from MEI is $3.99 (they print
the .99 part real tiny) plus .50 for shipping (I got my magnifying glass out to
read the .50 part). Still, at $4.50 each, their price is a lot more reasonable

>Are there any good ways to store multiple CDs that aren't in jewel

If you do decide to use jewel boxes, you may be interested in a *free* program
called CDLABEL. It prints inserts for the jewel boxes. I use it mainly for my
PhotoCDs but you may find it nice for CDROMs also.
It's available as CDLAB201.ZIP (about 250K) from the RSBBS/Oratorio
(904-863-8408). You should also be able to find it Compuserve, AOL, and the
other online services, as well as at cica.indiana.edu via FTP.

May not want to rush out and buy the first new read/write CD-ROM.
They will probably be exspensive and with less features than the follou-ups
models which will probably be cheaper with a few more conveinient features.
I like to wait till the reviews come out to find out what doesn't work with

As much as I'd like a CD-ROM, I'll just have to wait til the read/write
hits the market at REAL prices, not those phone numbers they sell for
now. I've waited this long to switch from a 286 to a 486, so I can

It sounds like the difference is splitting hairs. But that is where you can
get differences in sizes. That's why many tech. conferences have messages
asking why they can't get at the last few megs on their disks. A megabyte is
bigger than a million bytes.

I assume you already tried connecting the thin two-wire audio cable from
the back of the CD-ROM to the two-prong post on the Sound Blaster card.
I bet this is what you DIDN'T try:
Trim off the little plastic nub on the CD-ROM audio cable so that it
connect BACKWARDS onto the Sound Blaster. It should work now.

Tis true. You can't play the audio CD through the sound card. I have
an original SB and a 2xspin CDrom and it plays fine. Unfortunately, I
have my sound card with one set of speakers and the cd-rom drive using
another so I can hear the audio cd. So go ahead and get the CD rom and
save up for the better sound card.

Subj: Duplication of Messages Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Many of us have noticed duplication of messages in this echo. I'm fairly
certain this is caused by technical problems. Recently, when compiling an
anthology of messages (grouped by "From:"), I noticed duplication where one
copy of a set of messages all had times ending in :00 seconds, whereas the
original had varying :xx seconds. All other particular details (To:, Subject:,
body, tag line, etc.) were identical.
My guess is that somewhere in the echo there is a system that truncates times
to the nearest minute, *and* re-enters the messages into the echo. Since that
message differs from the original, it is not suppressed as a dupe, and gets
fully circulated. Here is a sample of the message headers I observed:

On non-Profit discs, I'd like to be able to have it search the file listings
for keyword, much like WHEREIS searches directories for filenames. It
doesn't have to produce a fancy, mirrored, mouseable output to the search
(Nice, but I wouldn't expect you guys to support other people's product
that well) Something like (on a plain screen)
Searching disc for 'hooha'...
\applic\wordproc\hello.zip
hoohah! what a great word processor!
\applic\spread\yowza.zip
this is absolutely the best spreadsheet program! Hooha!
\games\arcade\bomber.zip
hooha
With optional save to text file, paging, etc.
This should be a (relatively) simple programming task, and it would make it
MUCH simpler for me when I am searching for files and don't know what
directory structure the disc has. A single search engine that work with
all my discs which include FILES.BBS would save me quite a bit of time when
I am looking for something, but don't necessarily know the filename.

You DO place yourself under threat of civil, (not criminal), lawsuits if the

Nope, the twist draft plays right in the waterspout. It takes a higher note
than you start out the game with, so if you can't play the draft, you have
to go back and learn more drafts first.

JT> if it's one or the other. Like, will some CD-ROMS not work unless

Easy. A "single-spin" drive can transfer 150k of data from the cd to the
PC memory every second. A "double-spin" drive can transfer 300k of data
every second. Moving more information is less important for, say, shareware
discs...nice, but not critical.
On the other hand, for "multimedia", where lots of graphics and sound are
being moved, even double-spin drives aren't fast enough.
Do not buy a new single-spin drive. Consider carefully getting a used one.
Prices are very low on DS drives and the performance increase is worth the
money in 99% of cases.
A single-speed drive is acceptable for use as a filebase in a BBS, or for
somebody who ONLY wants to do shareware discs...and a DS drive is better in
both cases.

CHKDSK would be great...if it worked, which it does not. Instead, use a
DIR /S. After 5 minutes, you will either get a total size of all the
subdirectories on the disc, or a CD101 error which indicates that the disc
has more information on it than your drive can read (more than 650M)
Any information above 650M is unreachable and should be ignored, unless
you happen to know somebody with a drive that reads past 650M (rarer and
rarer).

Subj: IDE CD-ROM DRIVE Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi All,
I would like to buy a CD-ROM drive and have a few questions.
In my pc, I have IDE hard drives and a sound blaster 16 (with ASP chip).
The sound blaster card has a connection for a CD-ROM drive. According to the
distributors of the sound blaster (SDC) the CD-ROM drive has to be an IDE
CD_ROM drive (which makes sense) and it *HAS* to be a Panasonic drive.
I would like to know if anybody is using this setup ie. IDE Panasonic CD-ROM
drive off a sound blaster 16.
What is the performance of such a drive compared to a SCSI drive?
The IDE Panasonic drive is supposed to be a double speed (or is that spin ?)
drive. Apparently there is plans for a tripple speed IDE CD-ROM drive, but
nobody know when it will be available.
Are the IDE CD-ROM drives *a lot* slower than the SCSI drives - comparing
apples with apples ie. IDE double spin vs SCSI double spin ?
Will the IDE tripple spin be considerably faster than the double spin, and
any idea when it will be available (even other makes - not Panasonic) as I
would like to know if it is worth waiting for or if I should take the plunge
and decide now which to buy IDE or SCSI.
The reason for all this is that I am reluctant to buy a SCSI adapter and CD-ROM
drive, if that is the only SCSI device. My hard drives are IDE & the SB16 has
an IDE interface so why go SCSI if the speed is not *that* much better ?
Thanks. I appreciate the input.
David.

Im my mail box this past week I recieved two promo CD's:
[1] Was from "Knowlage Adventure" titled _3-D_BODY_ which allows a user wearing
RED+BLUE glasses to see inside of the human body in "3-D". While the Promo
part is good.. what really throws me off is that by calling an '800' number and
allowing them to charge $$$ on to my charge card they will tell me an access
code which will allow me to load the full software package from this same CD..
The thing that gets me is what happens if the you have a system crash.. this
means that you have to re-enter the 'CODE' (and hope that you had not lost
it!).
[2] SelectWare Vol.6, #1, I think that somebody at SelectWare needs to do a bit
more testing of their DEMO's before placing them on a general public released
CD-ROM and/or list that a file is for only for and/or been tested with only
MS-DOSvX.X.. because about 50% or the DEMO's on this CD would not run on my
system which runs NOVELL DOS.

The format is identical. I have tested a CD from sega in my pc

You were correct. The problem was a big mess of drivers in my Windows.
Some softwares in CD installs drivers under the Windows and causes a
lot of conflicts. I "cleaned" the Windows and everything is ok now ( I
hope !!! :)))) ).
Another question :
After I had installed the QEMM 7.04 and Stacker 4.0 in my system, I
noticed that the level of ocurrences of GPF's in Windows increased a
lot. Do you know something about this? Have you ever heard about
problems with these two softwares and Windows ?

Yep....The problem is Memory! Increase it to at least 8 Megs and Cache
SmartDrive with 2 Megs! The problem is that when your system reloads from a
log off it tends to overwrite part of the TSR for the CD Rom Driver...Ensure
all drivers are loaded high and above your fossil driver!

You first have to select 3 titles from a very large list of films. Then you get
a smaller list (10 to 20 titles) where you have to select all the films you
really liked. Then you get a list of highly recommended an recommended movies.
This list can be printed but not saved. I liked all the films in the proposed
list, so the program does a pretty good job.

No, no, and no. The manual says the program uses "fuzzy logic" artificial
intelligence to do the search.
BTW, except the 12 complete trailers of some Paramount movies, there are no
pictures nor sound on the CD. If you want those you're better of with MS
Cinemania.
CU later,

I'm sure there are utils to do that for you, but just using DOS you could type
from the root directory "DIR /S" That shows all directories on the disk and
totals the used space at the end.
This is ok for most of the games, but when you do this on CD's with lots of
files on it, then it takes ages.

Ask your sysop if he is running FD. If so he can use the FM
editor/reader to do an ALT-X on any message and find the
originator and path it took.
From your end, as a user, check the bottom line of the post,
the origin number of the sytem sending is always listed.
HOWEVER, if it's duped out, you can't be sure if the orgin
address has been appended.
I'm sure there's a more complicated and informative way to explain
this, but those are the basics for what ya wanted to know. :)

TP>help me get some satisfaction. I have already sent a letter to the BBB in NJ

TP>If the drives are suposed to be warrentied through the vendor then I would
TP>think Panasonic would return one of my 4 calls and tell me that. Any
TP>suggestions on what else I can do?
Here's what happens in a nutshell. Panasonic does not make ANYTHING. And
unfortunately I have had them tell prospective costomers that same thing.
Panasonic is a marketing arm of Matsushito which is what your drive is.
The same drive (Masushito 562) is OEM'ed by IBM, Panasonic, Reveal, Omni,
etc. Everyone calls them Panasonics because that is the most recognised
name. They make the vendors handle the sevice problems, because they
would not know for the most part who handled the drive orriginaly from
the above list.
The shop you purchased it from should honor the warrenty, but if they
won't as I said maybe we can help. Lets start with a description of
what the problem is, and include your Config and Autoexec lines so I can
look them over. It could be either the drive or the controller of course
so keep that in mind. Next. If the label on the top of the drive that
shows the manufacture date is less than 1 year, we may be able to swap
it out for you and perthaps you could let everyone know who helped you
out :)

The 562 driver will work with both the 562 and 563. The 563 driver will
only work with the 563 because it looks for the firmware to return the
string 563 (notice the above hex spells 563) using the 562 driver makes
doing this unnesessary.

Nice theory but it is NOT Matsushita's problem...these drives are OEMed,
not sold under their own brand name. As such, it is the OEM, not the
manufacturer, who provides the warranty. He's barking up the wrong
tree.

Send a message to those dealers that advertise heavily in both echos that

They advertise in both places because many sysops carry only the CDROM

their ads to only the CDROM_SALE echo...if it begins to hurt them in

take every thing in the safe.

We regularly post all our reviews of new CD's here and in several other
echoes. Of course, I can't always promise a favorable write-up, but we
strive to be as objective and honest in our appraisals as possible. We
rely on actual "facts and figures" rather than "opinion" whenever we can.
It's actually more of an "analysis" of the disc than a "review" in the
traditional sense.
Incidentally, we've been contacted by four publishers so far, for whom we
review all new releases as soon as they are available. If you think Profit
Press would be interested, call me (voice) at:

our own customers and, when the word got out that we had reviews available,
many people asked us to post them for all to read.

I'm not sure that those are in stock anywhere yet. They were written up in PC

nice doublespeeds, and I expect they would keep the same quality with this
quadspeeds.

Firstly, the interface isn't really IDE, it's proprietary to these Panasonic
drives. I've run a Panasonic 562 off of a SoundBlaster Pro with good results.
It performs nicely. The drive is as fast as comparable SCSI models (same data
transfer rate and access time).
The Panasonic 562 is down to $129 US at some sources, so it's definitely a
bargin. Nice drive, nice price.
I should mention that some people have had problems trying to get their drive
serviced. For that reason, you might want to consider going with the more
expensive Creative OmniCD. It is the Panasonic 563 (562=563 in terms of
performance). If you did this, you could return the drive directly to Creative
Labs if there were any problems.

Greg, I found out from the U.S.Mail that the COD rates are according to the
price the sender requests. Therefore, the cost will only be $50.25 ($3.25 for
COD amount). I changed my mind, I will only bill you $2.50 COD because you will
still have to pay 75 cents for the m.o. I will pay the extra 75 cents on the
COD. Soooooo, you pay me only $49.50 and that is all.

Now this is the reason I have been loyally wading through all these
dealer messages and game hints. For some silly reason I assumed that CDRom
would be for discussing discs, and CDRom-Sale would get all the advertisements.
Having been bit on a couple purchases in the past, I've been looking
forward to reading some opinions on what is available. One windows disk that a
friend bought had all the files both zipped in somewhat BBS fashion, and
extracted in individual directories. A few others just didn't seem to have the
quality that I expect. Recently another friend purchase NightOwl 12, SimTel,
and Dr Communication and all three have been excellent. (although Dr Comm. is a
little light) It was beginning to look like potluck and I'm too cheap to jump
in uninformed.

This one I have. I've found a few good and bad points with it. The
original selling point for me is the Pascal source code on it, and to build a
good, specialized inventory I don't mind the older file dates. I just wish
there was a little more there. (about 115 meg)
Some of the annoying things I've run across with it are multiple
versions of the same file and duplicates. Take the following for example:
TECHJOCK ZIP 134244 3-05-88 2:47p

TTTSRC51 ZIP 79920 5-14-93 3:11p
TTTTPU ZIP 29336 2-01-88 7:49a
These are all the same programming toolkit, with TTTxxx51 being the
latest versions.
All the files have ZIP comments advertising Dave's board, which
currently isn't even online. As a SysOp I didn't find this particularly
amusing.
But more annoying for me are the file descriptions. For some reason
they chose to upper case all of them. Maybe it's my personal preference, but I
don't care for it. They also chopped (and I do mean chopped) all the file
descriptions at a single line. That means that quite a few stop in
mid-sentence, and even mid-word, making them virtually useless. The Files.BBS
for \004 is the one out of \005, so all the files in subdirectory \004 have no
descriptions.

I use this both for my BBS and for my own use. Since I keep my BBS
fairly limited and centered on Pascal programming, I don't mind it being light.
Short of making my own disc, I haven't found anything else on the market that
comes as close to focusing on Pascal. I wouldn't think about taking it offline
unless I replace it with something similar in content, not even for NightOwl
12.

I solved it, but I didn't write it down.
It took me 3 hours to figure it out. (I think I just got lucky:)
I don't even have the hint book!
P.S. For anyone else who would happen to know, I have solved all the puzzles I
can find, but now no doors have opened. I found a little door or something in
the library, but it won't open.
I know this won't help at all, but I just thought I'd let you know how long it

Copy it onto graph paper if need be. Once you look at the entrance and

that leads to the part where you take something like the fifth right.

Yes, but you HAVE TO bypass those others via the book to progress further

Yes but with a ten line limit, you merely get more ten line posts that
advertise the same number of items that longer line posts would. What's worse,
three 20 line posts or six ten line posts? Considering the added overhead each
individual post gives us (seen bys, origin lines, To: From:, etc), I'd have to
say the ten liners.

A fair number of CD-ROM games need CD-ROM sound. Some will let you limp

playing through the board. I would presume there are some titles that use both
CD-audio and sound board generated sounds. After all, if the typical card that
plays CD-audio can mix the two, why not?
In any case, I recently played my copy of Loom on my brother-in-law's
system. It has the Sound System for Windows (or whatever it is that Microsoft
sells) which purports to be Sound Blaster compatible, but doesn't include the
DOS drivers (either Creative's drivers or a workable clone). With this board
we can play Loom, but we have to plug WalkMan headphones into the CD ROM drive
jack. CD ROMIX titles won't play at all. If anyone could suggest a solution
for this problem, I'm all ears.

Hi Allan
Haven't been to Map, either: is it near Gosford, too?
I guess I was so thrown by the 'Wyoming' in the tagline on a
supersaturated US-based echo it never occurred to me that it was a real
Australian place name (now Mehhico, by contrast...) It probably never
occurred to Steve that anyone could be suffering from this level of
geographical ignorance (and maplessness)....
AM> I notice your interest in phone CDROMs. Have you looked at any
AM> of the others for Australia besides the Australian Phone disk.
AM> I would be interested in any comparisons that can be made between
AM> them.
My interest in the phone CD-ROM has more to do with the reverse
engineering, intellectual property and privacy issues: I wanted one
(any one) as a partial demonstration of these things. The context is I
am likely to be working on a Commonwealth government reference on
converging technologies (yes, another one) and the implications for
future education, training and workforce skills.
Thus, I haven't looked at the other products but here are some comments
on Phonedisk for what they're worth.
It's very straightforward and quick: enter last name and it generates
an initial list of people: add state or suburb or postcode and click on
any displayed name and you get full details. Enter number, state and
you get person and so on. It is divided into separate business and
residential lists.
Having said that, it is an irritating product. Despite the fact that it
exists because someone re-engineered all the telephone books, it seems
to be designed to prevent people getting more than single event
information out of it without a great deal of work. For example, a
friend of mine wanted to know all the people in Australia with her
surname. Easy: turned out there were 65 of them listed around the
country. The screen where you print these only gives them to you one at
a time. OK, so print each of them to file. Each file is full of ACSII
garbage, making them very large ( >40k from memory). To produce a
single list of names and addresses took a lot of time working with a
very good editor.
The business lists have the capacity to generate all the firms in a
given area: but the suburb field is greyed out if you try to start from
there. Similarly, for residential, you could in principle generate
marketing mailing lists by suburb - but it doesn't let you do it. Yet
this is in essence a fairly simple data-base and the real work seems to
have gone into controlling its usefulness. I think there is another
product from the same company that does all the things this one could do
but doesn't.
Had I wanted it for the purposes many other people presumably buy it
for, it would have gone back.
Cheers

The CDrom can connect directly to your SBPro, however it must be of the correct
type. If you have a standard SBPro then you can only use the Panasonic Creative

Last year I purchased WINDOWS 1993 from them.
The only real 1993 things were the sub-directories and the label
which stated "ALL NEW windows files"
> ^^^^^^^
There should be a law against this.
You DON'T get wat you've had paid for....
I thought AH!!! New windows files........
as it says on the label but I never expected this......
The CD was filled with 1992 and 1991 stuff and the longer
I looked the lower the dates went, even as low as 1989....
The same thing went for GAMES 1993......
This time they were a bt more clever... :-(
They Re-Archived all the files to 4-1-93
Nice Joke April the first......
But....... they proved they were right about that...
It WAS a joke......
Every single file had much older dates, down to 1989....
That was easy money...(for them that is.)
They were BOTH an absolute rip off!
The quality of both was not worth a dime....
I really hope someone in the US will take these guys to court
some day, the deserve it.
I will NEVER EVER purchase ANYTHING, manufactured by- or
distributed by- Chicago Computer Broker..
It's like I have been robbed....<sorry to say>
So!.. I've got that finally off my chest.
Regards,
Cor.

Hi Brice,
In case you did not receive my previous mail sent a week ago, I am
glad to tell you that the ORDER has been finally received a few weeks
ago.
But, the "Encyclopedia of Sound" is not working - w/o any visual sign
of damage on the CD. Therefore I expect to receive a $10 refund, or
a $10 credit toward my future purchase, upon returning the disk to you,
is that OK for you?
At the moment I am interested in a few CD, among others, Business Week
and Time Magazine, could you tell me what issues are covered on each
of the CD? (e.g. 1989-1994 for Time Mag? How about Bus Week?)
What is the latest version of "Grolier's Ency?"
Please quote for the above.
Since we have such a bad experience last time due to USPS, I wonder if
it is possible for me to pay an extra amount, on top of the included
shipping as the order is going to be prepaid, so as to send the package
as US 2nd class. A few bucks I suppose (ie. cost of 2nd class minus
cost of your USPS). Please quote assuming an order of 3 CD and 5
caddies.
I look forward to have business w/ you soon. Thanks.

At the ship you need to open the safe and get the disk piece and the rusty
metal thing. Also, pick up the rag. Once out on the deck of the ship all you
do is keep moving "backwards". Position the cursor on the bottom of the
screen to make the arrow point back at you, then just back your way out of the
bottle. Be sure to have the mirror in your hands when you exit the bottle! As
you leave Canuk's pry off the door knocker (you may need to read the blueprints

Subj: Problems With Cd-rom Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Stacker can cause problems with some problems as they are just not ment to be
compressed. Try putting the program that you think is causing the problem in
the dirve that is unstacked. Another thing to rember is that stacker takes up
memory and slows the computer down. I had this problem for a few programs taht
I was running. What I did was make a boot disk ignoring the stacked drive and
directly running the program, it made it a lot faster (something to consider if
you are using CD-rom games).
Probably what bothers me the most is when people who have lots of room on a
uncompressed drive use stacker. Why buy a closet organizer if you only have
one suit to hang up. By the time you are ready or need a compression utility
the available technology might have progressed to something safer, faster or
better.
Hope that helps.
P.S. Canada will win the World Cup.

Hi!
It's quite difficult to become the CDRom's I'm looking for, does
anybody know if there are GAY and BISEX CDRoms for sale except the
ones I already have (Manpower - GBL).
With bisex I really mean bisex, files in which "they are all doing it
to eacht other" and not the usual stuff of two man with a girl but
it seems that they even don't know that they both are there together.
I'm also looking for CDRoms with Fli's, Dl's and Gl's of that same
kind.
Thanks in adcance,
Regards
Ben Fama

I hav a Mitsumi FX001D but I do not have the manual.. I belive that the

They all will read ISO 9660 "standard" format, but the Mac has it's own "HFS"
format as well. I'm not sure about the Amiga, but I think it's strictly
ISO-9660. The PC world also will generally support the older "High Sierra"
format, but ISO 9660 evolved out of and replaced High Sierra years ago.
>How many cylinders are there per disk?
1 - a CD-ROM, like an audio CD, consists of one spiral track, similar in
concept to an LP or 45 record - but they read from the inside to the outside.

Huh? This is NOT a C64 based media.

Oh - you mean SECTORS. CD-ROM comes in 2 types - Type 1 uses 2048 data bytes

I usually manage to stock about 400 titles - limited ENTIRELY by capital, and
the numbers (on BOTH ends of the equation) keep growing.
I'm also local to all but ONE of my distributors (local = 1 hour drive or
LESS), and the one non-local distributor usually gets me stuff on Thursday that
I order on Wendsday.
Considering that I list over 1600 CD-ROM titles (as well as about 20 other

uncompetative)....
I keep seeing figures that 85% or so of the post Office annual budget is for

Two of the Grolier encyclopedias (basically the first 2 that were designed for
multimedia) were labled "Software Toolworks" on the OEM pack versions,
reportedly due to the large amount of work Software Toolworks put into them.
The Grolier's order of publication goes Grolier 5, STW 1.0, STW 1.5, Grolier

I think you got a bum stear. When they do come out they are going to be

around $150. Then when you do want that read write stuff sell your

Get yourself a Panasonic (OEM'ed under many names actually) and plug

trafficing (that was the BBS), and count 5 was the BBS as well. The highest
penalty was the use of the BBS in Count 4 ($25,000 of the $33,000 fine), then

All you need to do is go to radio shack and pick up a cable. You need
to get a stereo 1/8 inch headphone type plug on one end to two
left/right channeled male RCA plugs (ask someone there, they will know).
This will allow you to plug the audio out from the CD to the line input
on the sound blaster. This will allow you to sample audio CD's to your
hard drive and play them through your sound blaster's speakers. You can
also connect the RCA jacks to just about anything else, ex. VCR, TV,
Tape.
Have fun!

You also posted your CD sale message at the same time. Plus, you posted your

Why? I'm sure you put out great products but is it really important to post

Laurie, did insulting the person really make you feel much better? Did it show
your superiority?
He actually has a valid point. Given the current cost of pressing a CD in
quantity is around $1.10 and the cost of a CD mailer is around $0.30 that means
the "free" disk actually ends up being paid for. I'm not saying they're making
a profit but I do question the "free" part.

Rainer, may I jump in here? I know that Hayden can answer for himself
and probably will. This isn't to overshadow his response, just to add
too it. I'm not a dealer, not connected with Hayden or anyone else
in the business, just a Canadian who has stuff going back and forth
across the border all the time.
You should understand that the border bills encountered by Canadians
generally have nothing to do with duties. There is not duty on
computer goods. But there is a tax, something similar to your state
sales taxes. In our case we have what amounts to a federal sales
tax called a Goods and Services Tax (GST) and provinces have their
Provincial Sales Tax (PST)
The customs people at the border usually collect GST and in some
provinces PST as well. If it is sent by mail our post office will
charge GST plus a $5 service charge. That can all get ridiculous
when we are buying a $30 (U.S.) disc. Then we would pay tax on
the Canadian amount ($30 X 140% + 7%) or about $3 Cdn in tax
plus $5 delivery or about $8 (Cdn) on a $30 (U.S.) disc.
Carriers such as UPS and FedEx can go through brokers and that
can add even more to the cost of getting something through
customs.
Now, to answer your question, I've never heard of any American
having that sort of trouble on ordinary items. You don't have
the same tax/customs set up. And Hayden? He's considered one
of this country's most reputable dealers. Hope that helps in
some small way. Cheers!

Thank you for asking... It's an unusual situation that seems to fall
solely on Canadians. Despite NAFTA, and the previous Free Trade
agreement, Canadians are on the receiving end of outrageous import
duties and taxes. For example, if we were to buy software from the USA
on floppy it would be duty-free. But take that same software on place
on a CD-ROM, and now the media becomes dutiable! I've had this ongoing
discussion with Revenue Canada for the past 9 months regarding this
inconsistancy, but they -- like most government departments take for
ever and a day to act.
However, the converse applies when American customers purchase CDs from
Canada -- I'm going by my US customers on this, since each time I talk
to the powers-that-be at either Canada or US Customs, I get vague
replies... As long as the product being reintroduced into the US was
originally made in the USA, it's non-dutiable. There should not be any
taxes applied either. If the CD was produced in Canada, there should not
be any charges either, providing the discs are not excessively
expensive, i.e. over $100 US each. I have a number of US customers that
are repeat buyers, so far none have mentioned any problems with their
orders. As time goes on, NAFTA will be removing virtually all duties
and tarifs -- on North American made goods -- across our borders, so it
can only get better.
Additionally, the problems earlier mentioned in some posts, had to do
primarily with UPS, FedEx, and other courier services, who royally
fleece us here when receiving US originating shipments. So, unless
requested by our US customers, we ship all orders via Canada Post, who
in turn hand it off to US Mail -- so far so good. Shipments are
received relatively in good time, and in good condition.
I hope that this answers your questions. Again thanks for asking.

Hayden Bradshaw

Subj: cd-rom speeds Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hello Steve! The single, double, triple, quad, etc. in cd-rom drive
speeds is an indicator of how much information it can transfer per
second. The first cd-rom drives to come out were single spped drives.
This meant that they transfered 150 kilobytes (kb) per second. Soon
after NEC developed a method of transfering 300 kb per second. Because
the amount of information transfered was doubled they called it a
double speed. Double speed CD-ROMs have been the standard for several
years now but probably wont be much longer due to NEC's (again)
invention of the triple speed and quad speed CD-ROMS. These CD-ROMs
transfer 450kb (3x) and 600kb (4x) per second. Other companies have
begun manufacturing triple and quad speed drives but NEC is the real
leader in the CD-ROM market. In fact I just purchased their triple
speed two days ago and have heard nothing but good news about it. So,
summing it all up, the double, triple, quadruple, etc. is the amount of
times faster than 150 kb per second it delivers info. This is the most
important aspect of a CD-ROM but also you should look for the acess
time. The access time is how long it takes for the cd-rom drive to
access the information it is looking for on the disk. Cd-roms are
significantly slower than hard drives but faster than floppys. The NEC
3xi has a 195 millisecond access time while my harddrive has a mere 12
milliseconds. So the faster the better again. I hope I have been a help
and I would be happy to answer any other questions you have about
cd-roms. By the way I'm only 15. See ya!

Hello Scott! It is a good idea to get a triple speed and with the amoun

3x upgrade kit. THis kit is available through Computability for $685.
It includes the cheaper version of NEC's 3xi (not as high quality as
their normal 3xi) but its still good, has a Soundblaster 16 Scsi-2 with
advanced signal processing (ASP) and tons of software (great sowtware
too :) The soundcard is top notch but does not have wavetable
synthesis. It can however be upgraded to wavetable for $159 by buying
the waveblaster add on card. The card that come with the kit has a
built in scsi-2 interface so you don't need to worry about buying an
extra card. Give Computability a call at 1-800-554-9930

I would suggest take a VCR over there and buy a dual standard TV

You MAY be able to use a PAL VCR straight into a US TV, if it has
provision for direct sound and video input via a SCART socket.
PS, you'll also need to but a 110-240 Volt transformer for the VCR.
The 50Hz/60Hz conversion shouldn't worry it.

Fear not, they will work in any drive. It may be possible that some may not be

multimedia CD's with a lot of animation. The computer would have to wait for
the drive to transfer tha data.

No worries what the above message is part of is an ongoing problem with a set
of 4 cd-roms called Shareware Extravaganza released mid last year I personally
purchased them for my BBS believing the advert about 25,000 files etc...
however when I installed the cd's and eventually used them on the BBS in New
Zealand I recieved complaints from users that they had got files that didn't
work and also were in some cases incomplete. The message you have plucked a
peice out of, was from a gentleman over there in the states back to me after I
requested to know the whereabouts of the author of the offending cd's it
appears he was already caught out by this person for some commercial files and
was promptly reported to the SPA ( I assume this means the shareware
professionals association ? ) I have since contacted the distributor here in
Aussie down in Melbourne that I purchased the set off he is declining to
refund
at the moment because I have tried past 12 months to get my money back however
after seeking advice I have been informed that they are definitley responsible
and infact with enough proof and the circumstances being right they are liable
up to 3 years!!. I had sent a form back to the author originally which asked
what I thought of the cd's and on it I had stated that I thought the number of
duplicates and the lack of descriptions were sad but he never replied to that
and now I am going to make absolutely sure I get my money back!!
Regards Tony

Yes, a Sound Blaster Pro can run up to 4 Panasonic CD Roms but only under OS/2.
The first drive HAS to be the single spin drive and the other 3 MUST be double
spin (CR 562B) to use the drive select pins (on the double spin drives).
Last night I tried to put a double spin Panasonic CR 562B drive on my Sound
Blaster Pro under DOS on my personal machine, and the software I have would not
run it (SBPCD.SYS). I rang Creative Pacific in Sydney (Sound Blaster
Distributors) and they said that there was no current available software to run
the double spin CD's on SOund Blaster Pro's. He said an old version of the CD
software could run them, but they do not have this version on their BBS.
I run a BBS using OS/2 that can run any number of CD Roms on line (5 running
currently) BUT I do not use a Sound Blaster Pro. I use a CD paddle card (no
sound) which controls the CD's in lots of 4. This board runs all the CD Roms
under DOS as well using the driver CDMKE.SYS
It appears I will have to buy one of the paddle cards and run the CD's from
that OR frind a new driver. That will be latere on when I get the time.

Roger

The only differencve is the speed in which the info comes off the rom, the data
transfer rate. My Panasonic CR 562B double spin ROM drive book says:-
a. Single spin (normal velocity mode) is 150,000 bytes per second
(150 KB/second) with a disk speed of 200-530 revs per minute.
b. Double spin is 300 KB/second) with a disk speed of 400-1060 rpm.
Similarly triple spin should be 450 KB/second and quad spin is 600 KB/second
with probably corresponding disk speeds.
Single spin drives can handle Multimedia applications. On my personal computer
(different to my BBS computer which runs 5 CD Roms under OS/2 - one single spin
and 4 double spins using 2 controller cards), I have a 64 K buffer on board the
CD Rom and I have changed the buffers on MSCDEX to 50, up from 8.
You can have up to 4 CD Roms on a MKE BUS Controller card. One of them can be a
single speed and the other 3 MUST be double spin drives (to utilize the drive
select pins). I understand SONY does not have drive select whereas Panasonic CR
562B CD drives have the drive selects.

Roger

Subj: CD-ROM question Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
VC> I am facing a tough decision, I currently have a Mitsumi Single-Speed
VC> drive but I want to upgrade. What should I do? Get a double speed drive
VC> right now for about 170-210$ or wait until the quad-speed drives come
VC> out and drop in price? Please give me some advise.
If you wait for the quad speeds to drop in price, then the developers will
bring out something else. Like drives which will play 5.25 and 3.5" CD's, or
double sided CD's or affordable CD writers or CD ROM readers that also operate
as a home security system and alarm clock and microwave oven and fit in a
matchbox.
If you can improve the enjoyment or productivity that your computer gives you
by buying a faster drive now, and that level of improvement justifies the
expenditure, then go out and buy it.
However, if the improvement is only going to be marginal, ie. it is not an
important enough improvement to justify spending your money, the wait. But
don't fall into the trap of waiting until the next generation of technology
hits the street, otherwise you will find yourself in a catch 22 situation,
always waiting for something better or faster.
I also have a single speed Mitsumi drive, and have considered buying the double
speed Mitsumi. I purchased the single speed when the technology was fairly new,
as a result I paid a premium for the drive (over AUS$500) which now seems
ridiculous if you think of the price these now sell for.
But considering that I have learnt a great deal about CD ROM technology by
having a drive at this early stage and have been able to give valuable advice
to other users due to that knowledge, I consider this to have been a worthwhile
investment, because I, as a consultant have had the benefit of having the drive
for perhaps a year or more longer than others who waited for the technology to
come of age.
As a result I consider that, although I paid a high price for the drive, the
cost was justified as I have had the benefit of the drive for that length of
time.
I have bought other equipment on the same basis, for example I had a laser
printer in 1987 whilst other users were waiting for the prices to fall, and so
they did, but by the time prices had come down and technology had improved, my
machine had already paid for itself more than three times over.
The question of whether to buy a double speed drive now, however is dependent
on what benefit it will give you - ask yourself, what will I get out of a
double speed drive - what is your main usage for the drive - games - reference
- Photo CD - shareware access. If your main activity will be substantially
improved by doubling your drives speed, and you can afford to buy one, then go
ahead, if this is not the case, then stick with what you have got and spend
your money on something that will improve the quality of your computing, like
more RAM or a bigger monitor ar a faster video card or a better sound card.
Your question is not a simple one and deserves a complex answer, I have
probably only served to reinforce the thoughts you already had, bat perhaps one
last comment, which is the way I usually work when I see something I may want
to buy.

I thank you very much. It helped and I'm now with the microscope puzzle

now, I can't exit from the laboratory using the main door, only using the

Quick and dirty, here it is:
SINGLE SPEED DOUBLE SPEED
============ ============
Data Xfer rate 150KB/sec 300KB/sec
MPC Level MPC-1 MPC-2
The main reason for needing a faster drive is for multimedia:
particularly full-motion synchronized audio and video like files in the
Video For Windows (.AVI) or QuickTime for Windows (.QTW or .MOV)
formats. If you try to run something that specifies it requires a
DS(MPC-2) drive, it'll run, but you may see the output "hiccup": motion
may be jerky and sound may be choppy. In my experience, I've come
across stuff claiming to run on an MPC-1 drive that in actuality needed
a double, triple, or quadruple speed drive based on the output.

Actually HER point was valid. I can not believe a few of the messages
including yours that I have seen complaining about Scott Huffman's
offer. Now, IF he had asked for $14.95 for shipping, or something
else as ludicrous, I could see your point. However when you were doing
your calculations on shipping costs you forgot, time and the wages paid
to someone who is doing this in Scott's company. Comparitvely, his
shipping/handling charges are quite reasonable. I have participated in
many FREE offers (other than cd's) where the S/H has usually been just
under $5. Those that ask more, I question (and do not participate) in
their FREE offer. As an aside, on the FREE offer going into Cnanda, I
think that his S/H fee is more than liberal! I participate with a number
of people in the CRAFTING echo, doing exchanges and postage to Canada
is outrageous! Just my two cents worth.

something primarily Canadian, or whether it had to do with international sales
in general. I do know that Candian phone calls are significantly more
expensive, and less discountable, than within-US calls, and that Corel charges
$25 shipping on everything they send to the US, claiming some mumbo-jumbo about
customs and international shipping costs (never minding that their shipments
come from a Federal Express warehouse in the US -- I guess they had to get them
to that warehouse somehow).
So, I was concerned that there might be some "hidden" costs associated with
Canada-to-US transactions in general.

Thanks for your informative answer (not fully quoted, but fully read and
appreciated!). I, too, hope NAFTA can help merge North America into a solid
trading block; it seems a logical step toward world harmony.
And, let me also thank you for the efficiency of your catalog delivery BBS!
There was an absolute minimum of overhead in getting your catalog files -- just
six minutes total, most of which was spent in Zmodem. There are some dealers
in the US where it has taken me over 30 minutes to locate and retrieve
comparable information. I was also impressed by the content and pricing in
your catalog.

Royalties? Oh dear! How about a great big "THANK YOU!" instead? #=]
I've been experimenting with audio-CD storage cases for the CDs I use
regularly, but the "dogs" in the ten-pack are permanently assigned to the
diskette dust jacket storage method.
Say, would you be interested in the Doom CDrom from the ten-pack as a royalty
payment? I think it has all of 5 or 6 megebytes of data on it, uncompressed.
Well, it can always be used as a test vehicle for scratch repair techniques.

The origin numbers, tag lines, etc., match on the duplicated messages. I made
this post in the hopes of helping track down the dupes (with time delays) that
plague us here from time to time. When the dupes arrive sufficiently far apart
in time, the originals have been purged, and it is very hard to recognize the
dupes as being dupes. Except to the humans.
It just seems very odd how the times have been rounded to the whole minute, and
the subject lines upper cased, on the delayed dupes.

I also have gotten these two demo CD's. What irks me about the one from
select ware is that the demos are older titles. The 3-D body one looks
pretty interesting. Also, the code part sort of stinks! The trouble is,
what they are doing (putting the full program on CD and then accessing it by
a code number) is inviting people to break the code and ulocking the
software. A few people I know have already done this. Therefore, getting
a basically "free" program and not paying the $39.

As the name suggests the double spin drives spin the CD at twice the speed and
transfer the data at twice the speed as well. If you run some of the video

Yes. This is about the size of it. It was _designed_ as entry
level to the more expensive versions. It was designed with the
clear intention of making it difficult for a user to make a
mailing list. It is called something like 'market segmentation'
in marketing. The theory behind it is that the disappointed user,
who expected more from the product than the very bare minimum
would fork out more dough for the company's 'advanced' product.
Does it work? I wonder.
The whole business of PhoneDisk 'registration' after
**purchase** to activate the product is probably part of the
design of the same marketing genius. It did not impress me. ;-)
MM> Had I wanted it for the purposes many other people presumably buy it
MM> for, it would have gone back.
At $29 it was an expensive and oft repeated lesson for me that
you get what you pay for. :-)
(I understand that another Australian phone disk product is
better. I dont recall which one. I have not seen it myself)

Sam, He will not be able to send it to you COD. That service just DOES NOT
EXIST between AUST and the US.
You will need to get a bank draft and send it to him. It will also end up
costing you a considerable amount more than $36 in AUst for it.
that $36 is the US dollar figure, converted to Ozzie dollar brings it to about
$50 Aust add approx $8.00 bank charge and prob around $10 for postage totals at
around $68 Aust.
Check around, I am sure you may find a copy in Aust for around that price or
cheaper.

DT> Hi All,
DT> I would like to buy a CD-ROM drive and have a few questions.
DT> In my pc, I have IDE hard drives and a sound blaster 16 (with ASP
DT> chip). The sound blaster card has a connection for a CD-ROM drive.
DT> According to the distributors of the sound blaster (SDC) the CD-ROM
DT> drive has to be an IDE CD_ROM drive (which makes sense) and it *HAS* to
DT> be a Panasonic drive.
DT> I would like to know if anybody is using this setup ie. IDE Panasonic
DT> CD-ROM drive off a sound blaster 16.
DT> What is the performance of such a drive compared to a SCSI drive?
Yes, I am using the Matsushita double-spin drive with a SB Pro, which uses
the same interface. It has a rating of 300k/s, while SOME SCSI drives are
rated as high as 330k/s, and an access speed of 320ms, while some SCSI
drives are as low as 180ms, and most hover around 250ms. You will pay about
twice as much for a SCSI drive, a little more if you get a GOOD SCSI card
rather than the least expensive. You will have to decide whether or not
the performance increase is worth it; for me it was not, and I already
have SCSI for my HD.

Yes, you can use the CR-563 with the interface on a SoundBlaster Pro...in
fact, that's what it was marketed as. If you are using the Creative Labs
drivers, I'm not sure that there's any special setup...if using CDMKE.SYS,
you need to change the /P:300 part of the CONFIG.SYS line (this is correct
for the ATBUS card) to /SBP:220 (this is correct for a SB Pro set at the
default port address)

This is rather stupid, i'm under the impression that he should get the
warranty, if within the period from the OEM, this would be the same
as REveal selling the CD ROM package as OEM, depite the fact its
Sony CD and Studio FX sound card, they have not way of servicing these
units except the original manufacturer....I'm kinda lost, as said

Mike...
I'm having joystick problems too. The thing works but the response is terrible
and the game is just unplayable. I disabled the Sound Blaster 16 joystick
port and am using the port on my IDE controller. I can't disable the IDE port
because I lost the jumper info. I picked up a demo copy of Tie Fighter and
that seems to work okay but, it runs off a floppy and not the CD.
If you do find a fix please post it here...I'll do like wise.
Thanks,

OK first my config line is:
C:\cdromdrv\cdmk43.sys /d:mvcd001 /r /sbp:220 /n
and my autoexec is:
C:\cdromdrv\mscdex /d:mvcd001 /m:10
Date on top of drive says manufactured August 1993.
Now the drive worked great for 7 months. But just one day it stoped working.
When I would boot the drive light would come on and stay on a longer then
normal time about a minute. And then the light would go out and the computer
would boot. But when I tryed to use the drive all I got was drive not ready
errors. I took someones suggestion and tryed a lense cleaning kit that cost me
$15 and it didn't help any.
If you can swap out this drive that would be great! I take it you are a dealer
then? The dealer I bought it from is Alan Evans who is the front man on fido
for CMS software. The won't take the drive back and replace it for me. Please
call me about this collect soon. I have been cd-less for over 3 weeks now. And
thank you very much I will be sure to tell everyone who gives the good service
around here! I will post it for all my callers to see when they log onto my
BBS. And I would like to do my future business with a dealer who offers good
service too since I have now seen that not all do!!!
Thanks Tony

Hello david!
I just got the Pier 4 CD from you. Very good prices. But there is only
one complaint. I found another low priced store there in Ontario, and
they have a 1-800 #. This is a great service for people like me that
are calling from Manitoba and stuff. I think you should really consider
it Dave. Leave me some info., or write me at:

Also, I would like to remain buying shareware cd's from you, so could
you please send me and updated list of all the cd's available.
Hopefully you will have Monster Media 4, Cream of the Crop 3, and
Software Vault Emerald. Thanks Dave. I really appreciate. If you play
this right, I think you have a solid customer for the future. !!
Hope to hear from you soon!!

I have jets & props. It has about 10 VFW files in 8&24 bit, and 200 8 & 24
bit photographs. When you choose to run as a slide show, it plays them to a
rock & roll track. It's not bad, but get's old fast. One CD is older props
like P-51's, the second is full of more modern jets like the F-14, F-16,
F-18, F-117, etc.

Are these limited editions, or are they the full photostyler prog? By the

Sorr, my drive hasn't blown up, but it doensn't mean your out of luck. If
your drive interface supports one of the "standard formats, a interface card
can be from fairly cheap to free. The free way is assuming it uses a
creative labs hookup. (Panasonics do) Alos assuming you have a SBPRO or
higher soundcard, as it has the interface built in. The drive might also
support Sony or Mitzumi, which there are inexpensive controllers out. The
most expensive is SCSI, whic can be VERY expensive, but if you have a sound
card with SCSI on it (SB16SCSI, PAS16,) you have the connector. The
instructions should say.

Everybody (just about) has had this prob including myself. First, that's
porbably not the ltest patch, as I believe t7gfix 3 came out 6months ago.
Also, download the driver Univesa. When I ran it, the graphics moved about
2x, and the choppy speech stopped. Of course, there's always a chance you SB
is not configured properly.

Add the word LOADHIGH before this command. (loadhigh c:\bin\......)
This will load the drivers high, and assuming how much memory you have, can
give you 619k conventional memory. Make sure you have himem loaded, emm386
is only needed if the prog only uses expanded memory. If it can use
extended, skip Emm386. Also, dump the SETVER command. All it does is fool
programs into believing that your using an older ver of DOS if the porg won't
work with a newer one. Basicaly, if you have dos 5.0+ it's not needed.

Have you ever tought of getting a S3 Video card for your system? It is
basically a windows accelerator. If you're a Windows user this 'll be great for
ya. DOS programs are also faster in some cases - but beware for other may be
slower, but anyhow it'll always be faster than a 512KB Video card. Also use
Norton SpeedDrive. It'll help to accelerate your Video refresh, though not
documented.
Give it a try, or better still experiment with it on other systems first!. You
will not regret it!

2)Panasonic cdu-563b (same specs.)
3)Mitsumi fx001d (250msec,350kb/sec)
From the data i have the Mitsumi is the fastest but it has only 32kb cache
while #1) and 2) have 64kb cache.
What's better, bigger cache or faster access time?
Can you give me some recomendations which drive is better?

A double spin drive can read the data off the disk at about twice the
rate of that of a single spin drive. (Aprox 150Kb/second for a single
spin and 300kb for a double spin).
CD's are designed to be used in one speed drive or another it's just that
the performance of a program might be affected when using a single speed
drive. Some programs are designed to take advantage of the faster speed
of the double spin drives, but theses could still be used on single
spin drives but the performance would suffer (animations would not be
smooth ect.) but they would still run.

THIS IS A VIRUS ALERT! There is a virus being spread which, according
to the description that is packaged with the file, is supposed to turn
your CD-ROM into a drive capable of WRITING CD's. Listen people, this
is insane! Don't be stupid. A CD-ROM CANNOT WRITE TO A CD. It is
being spread with the name CDIT. Sysops, do not let this file get
into your download area. Computer CD-ROM users, don't be caught by this
virus. If you know of someone who has it and plans to spread it, please
call the police and the FCC. This virus, once the program has been run,
will IMMEDIATELY wipe your hard drive clean and you cannot stop it by
turning off the power. By the time you do that, it has already killed y
FATs and they CANNOT BE RECOVERED!

Sorry for the extensive quote.....Australia uses PAL/SECAM for their system and
the U.S. uses NTSC. Your friend will either have to bring her own system or
else purchase a PAL/SECAM one in the U.S. There are services that will convert
from one standard to another, but it doesn't make sense in this case.

Hello Nick,
You could use a program called TEMPRA Access Plus, on IBM/PC
CD-ROM. This program lets you make your own multimedia
presentations using images in many different formats, including
PhotoCD. It also displays 8-bit .FLI and .FLC animations and
16-bit .FLX animations. The program is made by Mathematica Inc.
of Florida (voice: 813-682-1128, fax: 813-686-5969).
Another program they make, called TEMPRA Show, also lets you
view .FLI and .FLC files, but it is not on CD-ROM, and it does
not support PhotoCD or .FLX. -- Hans

@SUBJECT:Copy 500+ megs of YOUR data to a SAFE, DEPENDABLE CD! N
Do you have a LOT of files stored away on disk? Do you have a
lot of disks? Do you have files that you wouldn't want to lose?
Does it take more than 10 minutes for you to find a file, even
if you know what disk it's on? Is your hard drive gasping for
space? If so, Triad Computer Systems has the answer to your
problems! Transfer 500 megs of files to a safe, dependable
Transfer 350 1.44m disks or 400 1.2m disks or 700 720k disks
or even 1,400 360k disks for $99.95 + shipping and handling. We
can even transfer from QIC 80/40 format tapes or directly from
your hard drive. We can customize your CD-Rom to take bits and
pieces from many different media, even from one or more CD-Roms,
for an additional charge.
Yes, that's up to 500+ megs of files YOU want, put on your own
CD-Rom, and for a total cost that is less than 20 cents a meg!
For more information or if you have any questions, give us a
call at (813) 754-7623.
Triad Computer Systems, the BEST solution to your storage problems
Advantages of the Triad System:
(1) Size of storage: 500+ megs of files all on one CD-Rom
disk. Thats 350 1.44's, 400 1.2's, 700 720's, 1400 360's, or 4
120 meg tapes, all full!
(2) Size of media: A single CD-Rom disk is about the size
of a single 5.25 floppy, but takes the place of as many as 1400!
(3) Dependability of media: CD-Roms don't lose data over
time. They aren't damaged by magnetic or electrical fields. They
aren't damaged by dust, fingerprints, or spills. A CD-Rom won't
wear out or lose data over time. No "sector not found" error on
that very important disk that you MUST have.
(4) Security of media: Your data can't become corrupted, or
infected with a virus. A CD-Rom can't be accidently erased, or
formatted.
(5) Cost: A box of 10 HD 3.5 disks is $9.49, 10 DD 3.5 is
$8.29, 10 HD 5.25 is $6.49, 10 DD 5.25 is $5.39, a 120/240 meg
tape is $27.99 (unformatted) (All prices are from Staples/
Workplace 11/13/93). A 540 meg Hard Drive is $729.00! (Hard
Drive Super Source, pp 577, Nov. Computer Shopper) You get
500+ megs of data transfered to CD-Rom for $99.95, AND you get
your disks back. It's like getting the CD-Rom for F-R-E-E!
(6) Time: You can find and copy a file from a single CD-Rom
faster than you can from a pile of disks, and a LOT quicker than
from tape.
(7) Protection of valuable files and investments: With the
cost of new software always on the rise, it makes sense to have
your archival copy of valuable programs and data on CD-Rom. You
won't have to worry about your hard drive going down and not
being able to find (or read) disk 3 of 17 of a program that cost
you a lot of hard earned money.
(8) Choice: YOU decide what you want put on the disk. Every
file, GIF or bit of data has been selected by the harshest
critic alive, YOU! Your disk, your files. What could be better?

Greg,
Well I have already have Myst involved in a trade but if it doesn't
go through, try and get back to me, I will post to all if it doesn't go
through! Well as far as security purposes, the best way to do it, is
just trust! I have gotten burned a few times and really will only do it
the way of someone mails me theres I will cross mail the same day! I
have gotten burned way to many times, I have lost 3 discs already and
cannot afford to lose anymore! Hope ya understand! You can ask many
people and I have never ripped anyone off. I always follow though on my
deals! I almost go burned once when a guy said he mail me his disc but I
waited over 3 weeks for it and it never came, and then he finally sent
mine back, but I had wasted time and postage!
Trust is the best way, but I feel trust isn't even
the best way since over a phone trust may sound full but is actually
thin!

I have bought an Aminet CDRom put out by Walnut Creek and I'm having a
couple of problems with it. The disk dated June 1993.
The main one is that it won't run on my A570 nor will the computer even
recognise it! [No disk in CD0]. I have tried to access it through DiskMaster
and while it shows CD0 in the drive ladder,it cannot find the disk. Other
disks dir and list without a hitch,but AmiNet no way.
When we use it on the IBM CDRom on the BBS,it works without a hitch,even
though it was not BBS ready Keith managed to get about a third running.
Has anyone had problems with this disk or a thought on how to succeed
in firing it up on my A500+
Hopefully Brian.

I'd have to agree with Mr. Vonsaleski on this one. Technically a MB is
1024^2 or 1,048,576 bytes. I don't subscribe to AOL and I don't know who
the author of that particular fact was but I'd say that they are trying to
define a standard for the MB so that we can all get together on this. I
believe it was posted at the beginning of this thread that most HD
manufacturers quote their drive sizes with MB being defined as 1,000,000
bytes which is somewhat misleading on the larger drives. An example is a
540MB HD. If a MB is 1,000,000 bytes then you get a formatted size of
515MB whereas if they had used the try definition of 1,048,576, the
formatted size would truly be 540MB.
Another 2¢ worth.

I purchased a Phillips CD, and could not get it to work with the help of the
vendor and with Phillips Tech Support. Hell, I knew more about it then Phillips
did. Contacted the vendor. Upon further investigation by him, he refused to
replace it with another Phillips due to the poor record he discovered that thsi
CD has. I upgraded to a Sony instead.

2) Desktop Collection v1.0 - about the same clipart, 200 bmp/gifs. only
$4!
3) Font Axcess v2.0 - 1000's of fonts and a neat instant on-the CD
viewer. Nice . $9.
I have these and they are nice graphics are neatly divided, and the
fonts are varied and none that are real commonly used already. Just
dont use the "Copy" function on the Desktop Collection Browser, through.
Instead of exporting the full-size graphics it exports a thumbnail. Have
to manually access the file from the publisher program.
Later!

In the future I see (I'm not a gypsy or anything, just making a guess

do it via modem on laptops, anyhow most student will own laptops and use
that to type and print their asssignments.
You can hold: movies, songs, games, programs, and pictures on a
computerized CD and on a normal CD (sega, sony)
There will be no need for 500 page volumes when a CD has the book on it.
Think of the space being saved!!!
There is no need for a really large Hard Drive when a cd holds 640
megabytes!!!
The cd can save time and resources and I think, becuase of that and the
fact that there won't be many trees to cut for paper, that the CD-RAM
(not read only but random access) is the way of the future.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ask your sysop if he is running FD. If so he can use the FM
editor/reader to do an ALT-X on any message and find the
originator and path it took.
From your end, as a user, check the bottom line of the post,
the origin number of the sytem sending is always listed.
HOWEVER, if it's duped out, you can't be sure if the orgin
address has been appended.
I'm sure there's a more complicated and informative way to explain
this, but those are the basics for what ya wanted to know. :)

I'm not sure that those are in stock anywhere yet. They were written up in PC

Firstly, the interface isn't really IDE, it's proprietary to these Panasonic
drives. I've run a Panasonic 562 off of a SoundBlaster Pro with good results.
It performs nicely. The drive is as fast as comparable SCSI models (same data
transfer rate and access time).
The Panasonic 562 is down to $129 US at some sources, so it's definitely a
bargin. Nice drive, nice price.
I should mention that some people have had problems trying to get their drive
serviced. For that reason, you might want to consider going with the more
expensive Creative OmniCD. It is the Panasonic 563 (562=563 in terms of
performance). If you did this, you could return the drive directly to Creative
Labs if there were any problems.

Peter, I can't find the string b5 b6 b3 in the file SBCD.SYS?
I have version 4.19 and I cannot get it to work with my 562b. DO you know of
any other new drivers for the 562b, I know alot of people out there must own
562's.

I solved it, but I didn't write it down.
It took me 3 hours to figure it out. (I think I just got lucky:)
I don't even have the hint book!
P.S. For anyone else who would happen to know, I have solved all the puzzles I
can find, but now no doors have opened. I found a little door or something in
the library, but it won't open.
I know this won't help at all, but I just thought I'd let you know how long it

Copy it onto graph paper if need be. Once you look at the entrance and

that leads to the part where you take something like the fifth right.

Yes, but you HAVE TO bypass those others via the book to progress further

Yes but with a ten line limit, you merely get more ten line posts that
advertise the same number of items that longer line posts would. What's worse,
three 20 line posts or six ten line posts? Considering the added overhead each
individual post gives us (seen bys, origin lines, To: From:, etc), I'd have to
say the ten liners.

A fair number of CD-ROM games need CD-ROM sound. Some will let you limp

playing through the board. I would presume there are some titles that use both
CD-audio and sound board generated sounds. After all, if the typical card that
plays CD-audio can mix the two, why not?
In any case, I recently played my copy of Loom on my brother-in-law's
system. It has the Sound System for Windows (or whatever it is that Microsoft
sells) which purports to be Sound Blaster compatible, but doesn't include the
DOS drivers (either Creative's drivers or a workable clone). With this board
we can play Loom, but we have to plug WalkMan headphones into the CD ROM drive
jack. CD ROMIX titles won't play at all. If anyone could suggest a solution
for this problem, I'm all ears.

Hi Allan
Haven't been to Map, either: is it near Gosford, too?
I guess I was so thrown by the 'Wyoming' in the tagline on a
supersaturated US-based echo it never occurred to me that it was a real
Australian place name (now Mehhico, by contrast...) It probably never
occurred to Steve that anyone could be suffering from this level of
geographical ignorance (and maplessness)....
AM> I notice your interest in phone CDROMs. Have you looked at any
AM> of the others for Australia besides the Australian Phone disk.
AM> I would be interested in any comparisons that can be made between
AM> them.
My interest in the phone CD-ROM has more to do with the reverse
engineering, intellectual property and privacy issues: I wanted one
(any one) as a partial demonstration of these things. The context is I
am likely to be working on a Commonwealth government reference on
converging technologies (yes, another one) and the implications for
future education, training and workforce skills.
Thus, I haven't looked at the other products but here are some comments
on Phonedisk for what they're worth.
It's very straightforward and quick: enter last name and it generates
an initial list of people: add state or suburb or postcode and click on
any displayed name and you get full details. Enter number, state and
you get person and so on. It is divided into separate business and
residential lists.
Having said that, it is an irritating product. Despite the fact that it
exists because someone re-engineered all the telephone books, it seems
to be designed to prevent people getting more than single event
information out of it without a great deal of work. For example, a
friend of mine wanted to know all the people in Australia with her
surname. Easy: turned out there were 65 of them listed around the
country. The screen where you print these only gives them to you one at
a time. OK, so print each of them to file. Each file is full of ACSII
garbage, making them very large ( >40k from memory). To produce a
single list of names and addresses took a lot of time working with a
very good editor.
The business lists have the capacity to generate all the firms in a
given area: but the suburb field is greyed out if you try to start from
there. Similarly, for residential, you could in principle generate
marketing mailing lists by suburb - but it doesn't let you do it. Yet
this is in essence a fairly simple data-base and the real work seems to
have gone into controlling its usefulness. I think there is another
product from the same company that does all the things this one could do
but doesn't.
Had I wanted it for the purposes many other people presumably buy it
for, it would have gone back.
Cheers

Tried installing a multi-media package this past weekend, and ran into all
sorts of headaches. Is there a program out there that will identify IRQs and
DMA's that are open?
I installed the hardware/software, had the Blaster working (according to the
test program) as well as the CD_ROM. Problem is/was that I could only hear
music and not the narration in some of the multimedia packages...worse than
that, the encyclopedia kept reporting that it couldn't recognize some image(s)
format so I couldn't use the animated stuff.
Not running anything special here...modem on COM2, mouse on IRQ4 and that's
it...the test program(s) seemed to indicate that the setup(s) were OK...tried
adjusting DMA's and IRQs but nothing improved. Even pulled out all
non-essential cards (BUS mouse, and LPT1 cards)
Here's my setup
486/33dx 8 Meg Ram
SVGA Diamond Speedstar
HD with 2 floppies and tape backup on same controller (*NOT* Adaptec)
Modem COM2
Mouse IRQ4 (BUS)
Creative Labs Multi-Media SB 16 setup IRQ5 DMA channels 1 and 5 (8 & 16 bit)
No problems whatsoever with the CD_ROM, had a couple of programs state they
couldn't find the device driver whether it was loaded high or low WITH an
environment setting. Any suggestions appreciated...this was the Sound Blaster
Edutainment package.
P.S. Also had one package indicate that it couldn't find my VESA driver...is
this a standard now? I don't even have a 486 VESA MB.

Thanks for your help! Kind of embarrassing to miss something so simple. In
answer to your questions, I haven't gotten to the spider yet but I think I can
help you with the witch. First thing when you get inside is to show her the
thermos of milk (you get the milk from the cow at Pugny's farm) and she'll let
you take the bat cage. Then show her the sealed letter from Ben, and she'll
give you the staff. Then walk one step out of her house. Then take her staff
and place it on the ground in front of you. If it sinks in, it is not safe to
walk in that direction, if it doesn't, it means the ground is solid and you can
take one step forward. Keep doing this, i.e., testing the ground with your
staff and taking single steps until you are out of the swamp. I hope the above
helps. I haven't done much adventuring since I got out of the bottle at
Canuck's. Mine has been a slow go through this game but it's been a lot of
fun. Keep in touch.
Regards,
Roger

Do you have internet access? I could send over the correct drivers for you.
The driver for the SBPro/SB16 interface I have is CDMKE43.SYS.
The driver for the drive itself is MSCDEX.EXE.

I've read in some industry mags that this is the software distribution
method of the future. Many companies are already planning to distribute
their stuff this way. You know, I never thought about breaking the
codes, but I'm sure it could be done with maybe a simple Windows macro
or a VB file or Norton Windows Batch file...

Marlina,
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate reading your thoughts. I
responded primarily brcause Laurie called someone a "bloody idiot." I found
that comment childish, uncalled for, and insulting.
As to my cost comments: No, I really didn't forget about the labor issue. I
chose (intentionally) to ignore it. If you want you can take the cost of a
high-school kid after school doing the stuffing and mailing. Lets round it to
$5.00 per hour. Lets say the kid's pretty slow and takes TWO minutes per
package (having worked on mailings 30-45 seconds is really the average). That
works out to under $0.17 per piece. Even if it took FIVE minutes to stuff and
address each envelope that's under $0.42 each (and my mother is faster than
that!).
My point isn't that the disk isn't wonderful, useful, pretty, sexy, and great.
What I'm saying is that it isn't "free" (a word which is becoming painfully
over-used) and that the company providing it isn't likely to lose money. Is
making money wrong? Of course not. As long as somebody isn't claiming they're
giving something "free."

I stopped by the Teac booth at Comdex and asked about their drives. The
salesman I talked to gave a price of $679 and said they won't be available
before Fall. I told him how close to the Pioneer price that was and he said he
hadn't heard of that unit but would look into it.

[text cut]
Chris, most of your comments are correct however NEC was far from the first to
bring out Quad-speed drives. Pioneer's 604X (while expensive) has been on the
market for nearly two years now. A fact NEC is very good at ignoring. Also,
while Toshiba hasn't released their new triple-speed, they've historically had
better access rates then NEC (admitidly close, though).
Don't get me wrong, NEC makes great quality drives (and charges acordingly).

Advanced Gravis makes the Ultra Max card which supports Wave table and has a
list price of under $300. I also talked to a friend in distribution who said
that Mitsumi was working on a quad-speed which would be as aggresively priced
as the FX001D (double speed).

Perhaps you could post the model number of the unit, or even easier, if it
has a 50 pin connector at back its a SCSI, normally all Hitachi are, most
8 or 16 SCSI controller card will work with it, the cable should be no
more then 10$ for it, cards could be had for cheap in states, look
around, should be no problem.
Peter.........post back for info.

I probably want whichever one is more popular and for which I can get OS/2
drivers. In fact, where would I get OS/2 drivers? Also, will I have a
problem with drivers for the Sony because the controller's different than
most?
Would appreciate any advice. Either one would cost me $100 from my friend.

I hav a Mitsumi FX001D but I do not have the manual.. I belive that the

Subj: Long descriptions Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hello All!
Are there any BBS-ready shareware CD-ROMs with multiline descriptions? I
recently subscribed to the JCS Author-to-Vendor service (which is somewhat
unique because the authors _pay_ to put their programs on the disc, which
ensures that the programs are all the latest versions... the only real caveat
is that the disc is not very full) and what I like most about it is the fact
that the descriptions come in two varieties - short (standard 1-line) and long
(the DIZ file imported, usually 8+ lines).
I've been using the Profit Press discs forever on my BBS, but compared to the
JCS their descriptions are lacking pretty seriously (I especially hate the BMP
or WAV file descriptions that just say "Windows waveform file" or "Windows
bitmap file" ... they're just SO descriptive...).
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a disc with extended descriptions
(besides the JCS one, obviously) on all the files.
Thanks,
Peter

Hello Scott!
I recently received your very inexpensive MegaDEMO 2 disc. On the whole it's
very nice, but unfortunately, I encountered a minor compatibility glitch with
the CDBENCH program - it aborts immediately after loading with the claim that
'MSCDEX is not installed' when my network drivers are loaded.
I am using Novell DOS 7 and a Personal Netware peer-to-peer network with an
Allied Telesis AT1500T ethernet adapter. Obviously MSCDEX (or actually,
NWCDEX, the Novell version of MSCDEX, but I tried it with the real MSCDEX to
the same ends) is installed or else I wouldn't be able to access the CD-ROM
drive!
Anyway, it's something that you ought to be aware of or if it's not something
that can/will be fixed that you ought to make your customers aware of. It
worked fine when I unloaded VLM (the PNW client software).

Hi.
I sent the disk with a program called DFC (Disk Copy Fast). Its the last

Let me know what kind of things you like and I can send you more stuff.
The Post Office said that you should have the disk by Wednesday (today)
Let me know when you get it.

What you're talking about is a completely different matter. The sysop in
question was selling adult CDs. He got busted on a local obscenity
distribution statute of some sort. I don't recall whether or not this involved
the F.A.O. series. This was a very unique case, and I doubt any sysop in the
average community would face prosecution, unless he were giving access to said
materials to minors.
This has nothing to do with a lawsuit, in any case. If there is any
lawsuit, it would probably be a copyright violation (say with Playboy, for
instance). I doubt this would be the case with the F.A.O. series.

I'd recommend looking for a BBS that carries SBCnet. They get a lot GUS
related software, a daily (I think) GUS newsletter, patches (what you want),
and drivers. They carry a lot of other stuff like demos and sound editors for
the other two popular sound cards, but the bulk of what they pull down is for
the GUS.

no sure way of doing it.
And once again, you needn't even use the book to beat the puzzle. It
isn't necessary to complete that one.

Hmmm... slightly better than I thought. Don't count on the files being in
AVI or mpeg format. I'd imagine you have a proprietary file format, which is
designed precisely around the way the Genesis system is designed. You can load
it into your PC, but it won't be able to make heads or tails of it. Unless of
course enough people were interested in them to construct software to pull
images off Sega CD-ROMS. It would probably be quite difficult, and not give
good results. For instance, most frames in those games are a composite of a
background and sprites of some sort for the player/bad guys which are moved
over the background.
Chance of said software being developed depends on how much interesting
useful stuff is on those CDs.

Sorry to step in here, but since I just got Myst a couple days ago, I have to
say that I was slightly disappointed at first...mainly because of the speed
performance of the game...but, now, I have to say that this is one of the best
games I've played...fairly straight forward gameplay...like 7th Guest ...but a
lot better...the puzzles are a lot better...not stupid chess puzzles that have
no strategy just pure luck...but puzzles that make ya think...well, that's my
two bits...hope it helps...
BTW: I'm using a 486dx2/66, 4mb ram (w/ 12mb Virtual Memory Swap file), 335ms
CDRom...and the performance could be a lot better...but I know someone else who
just got it, but with a 486/33, and his supposedly works perfectly...or so I've
been told...dunno...anyone else like to step in?

Hello, James..
No, I have no experience with the cache program that you are talking
about. But from what you described above, it seems to me that the cache
program is reading ahead and write everything to the hard drive, and
then access the hard drive when the data is needed? I read a magazine
that rated this kind of cache is "not very efficient".. is it true? Did
you compare it with other caching program? (Such as Norton Speeddrive+,
MS SmartDrv 5.0, Lightning CD.. etc..)

Yes, cache program does make CD-ROM to be faster. There are a lot of

Norton also has SpeedDrive+. There is alos Lightning CD, CD SpeedWay..

Hello All,
I am new to this echo and to CD-ROMing. Just got my drive about two weeks
ago. I am wanting to know which of the three encyclopaedias are
recommended. I had a look at Encarta but it didn't impress me that much. It
had lots of whistles and bells but seemed light on substance. I am looking
for in-depth information not fancy pictures. Which do you guys (and gals)
recommend?
Also, I just purchased the 7th Guest and am delighted with its graphics and
storyline/concept. I will be looking other titles which are equal or better
in quality. Which do you recommend? I hear that Myst is not bad but I
haven't seen it for myself. Comments encouraged.

The more puzzles you solve, the more doors you will be able to go through.

Hi Ali,
There is not an AEM BBS, but there is a Split Horizons BBS at (905)

However, I think I did send you a printed one already. It is being

I didn't know that echo existed before the "backbone" announcement, which no

exchange my drive. The dealer is CMS Software or Alan Evans on the net here.
The drive was manufactured less then 1 year ago so I think any dealer could
exchange it because they do have 1 year warranty.
If you have any information please call me.

I have just a few questions about the Guest.
1.What's up with the small door in the library.The hand motions me to come
forward,but when I do,the wall changes into what looks like a small door,then
changes back again.This also happens when I press the hand on the atlas next to
the door.(this is the room with the telescope puzzle.)
2.What exactly does the Zaphod Beeblebrox cheat do?I typed it in and heard
"groovy,groovy,groovy",but notice nothing.What's up?
3.The last thing I need to know about regards the sound.Everything works and
plays fine,but when the digitized people come on the screen there is a horrible
cracking\popping,this is the only time this occurs.Like I said,the music is
great and the voices are fine until the digitized parts come on.
Well,thanks in advance for any help you might have.Hope to hear from you soon!

As I understand it, you can read them, but there's really not anything a
PC user can do with the contents. You'd have to get someone who really knows
their Sega equipment to write some code to pull pictures and sounds off of
them. The actual game code is completely incompatable of course.

There are no definite moves to solve the microscope, Stauf's face or the
coffins. If you keep at it, you can solve them eventually (it takes ages). I
believe that if you ask the game to solve too many puzzles, you can't finish
the game, but I can't confirm this. The microscope is unsolvable, I believe,
according to the official handbook. I've finished the game, so if you need any
assistance, let me know and I can help.

The tile puzzle is quite easy, just make sure when you finish that the last
tile is the 3rd tile in your sequence. There's at least 2 solutions to this
puzzle. If you need help, let me know and I can give you the sequence to use.
Also, if you need any help with any of the puzzles I may be able to help (other
than the ones I didn't write down because there's no particular solutions, like
the coffins or Stauf's face).

#1 I don't have a soundblaster16 but I believe that you need the soundblaster16
asp mcd which has a cd-rom interface on it for several cd-rom drives. If you
don't have a cd-rom interface on your card then you may only be able to connect
the sound output from your cd-rom to your soundblaster (assuming the
appropriate cable).
#2 I have a mitsumi single speed model crmc-lu005s drive and sometimes get the
same problem. I don't know why this occurs but if it only occurs in windows
then it is a windows problem. I think its probably related to the config.sys
files and memory management and cacheing. In any case you should try to be more
specific in describing your problem. If you have the same drive I have then it
is probably related to the drive or its driver and in what manner it is set up.
My suggestion would be to contact Microsoft although you may find that this
also may occur under dos. Good luck.

I have decided to stick it out with my single-speed drive and get a new
ahrd drive instead. I don't use the CD-ROM for anything other than some
games and reference (encyclopedia). And it works fine for now. And its
kinda late in the game to go out and purchase a double-speed. Although
the Mitsumi double-speed I've seen for about 129$US and thats a pretty
good deal. I think I'll wait for a while, get the new hard drive (540
MB) and get Windows 4.0 when it comes out. Then (if I still have money
lef, if the quad drive are out. I might get one, but if they're still
way up in price, I'll probably just get a good double-speed or one of
the NEC triple speeds. Thanks again for your advise!

I am not aware of any that teach Japanese. However, there

They are called.
Berlitz Think & Talk French
Berlitz Think & Talk German
Berlitz Think & Talk Italian
Berlitz Think & Talk Spanish
Each comes with 8 CD'S. No Microphone. However a microphone
is necessary for full use. Each of these work with DOS, MAC,
or Windows.
There is not a single word of English on any of them. From
the moment you start the install it is all done in the
language you are to learn.
I have sold several of these to the students at the University Of
The South.
They list for $ 199.00
Our price is $ 149.00
A sound blaster or compatible is required.

Answer to Question #1 -- The only way to do a mitsumi to sb16 asp, is to sell
the sb16 asp and buy the sb16 mcd (Multi-cd) which supports the panasonic,
mitsumi and sony cd drives....
Answer to Question #2 -- In your config.sys there should be a statement similar
to this DEVICE=C:\DEV\MTMCDE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /M:8 /V /T:5
or somthing similar the M:8 is the number of buffers, jump this up to 64 which
will allocate 32k of ram for buffering. Then add the /X to the end of the line
and this will tell it to use extended memory instead of conventional. The last
thing you should do is tell it to use software polling instead of a dma
channel... You'll get better performance that way.
After having said all that, my recommendation to you is to keep the sb16 asp
and sell the mitsumi 1x, then buy the panasonic 562 (2x). The device driver
takes up less ram, and has a 64k buffer. Good luck, P.J. Evans

I would say that MSCDEX is not recognising 2 drives. Are you saying that
ther driver loadup is ok in the sence that you are getting 2 drives
reporting back at boot up? Check your MSCDEX info, there should be a
switch /V or something close, that tells MSCDEX to give verbose
info on what it does durring loadup. You might also post your MSCDEX
line from your Autoexec.bat.

Well, you would know best :)
I was going from the Editor's Notes in Boardwatch, which lists only count

judge's own admission, they're not even certain if computer data is covered
by the statutes under which Davis was charged."
I assume you are free pending appeal.
Out of curiosity, what line of defense did your attorney(s) take? And, if the

Scott , I have a Question for you. First let me say that I have
enjoyed all of my Profit Press Cd's i.e. ( FAO Gold , Fao 3 , Forbidden
Subjects) The question has to do with the Fao 3 Disk I purchased from
a friend, This disk contains a Dir. called "TOXIC" I know you know what
I mean. The question is "How many Disc's were pressed with this Special
interest Dir in it "? How much is the disk worth to collectors? I talked
to one of your Tech support people and he said the Disc Could sell for
up to $300 in europe. IS this True??

According to PC World, over colocking CPU's is a bad idea. The article said
that even with a heat sink, and an extra fan over the CPU, it will probably
die on you much earlier than normal, and probably take the rest of the
motherboard with it.

Hello All.
I need some help deciphering the myriad of information concerning Sound Blaster
Sound cards and Sound Cards in general.
(a) What are the differences between the current crop of Sound Blaster
cards? i.e. differences between Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster Pro, Sound
Blaster Multi CD,
Sound Blaster SCSI II, Sound Blaster Pro 2 and
Sound Blaster AWE 32.
(b) How do the Media Vision line of sound cards compare to the Sound Blaster
sound cards? Differences between
Pro Audio Spectrum Basic, Pro Audio Spectrum, and
Pro Audio Studio?
(c) For my beloved fellow OS/2 users what is your opinion of a reasonable
sound card to compliment this wonderful operating system?
(d) From my limited understanding the Gravis Ultra Sound seems like a dark
horse? How does the Gravis rank in terms of the previously mentioned sound
cards?
Any replies concerning this very confusing matter will be greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to your replies.
Thank you all for your co-operation.

I could not get past the maeva2 tunnel, period. So i went into the

is edit the savegame file, ie fractal.sav, and there is just one line
of text. At the start of the line, is a letter from the alphabet,
about 3 or 4 charachters from the left. Just overwrite it with the letter
"r", save the file and play megarace. load the savegame you just edited,
and you will get a new custom menu screen where you can choose every
track.

There are machiens that record CD's and sometimes on super sales you
will find them just above $1,000. The more practical ones are around
5,000 (US) and the blank CD disks around $15.
This is actually alot for a home use... but when you look at it in the
way of a possible alternative business of dummping data on CD's or for a
company dumping their data on CD's to be shared or archived... its not a
bad way to go.

PS: Yes you can put songs on them too. and they dub at 3-4X speeds.

Subj: Is Myst That Great? Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Mauricio Rodriguez asked:
MR>Is it [Myst] really that great of a game? ... what is the plot of the
MR>game and is it really that interesting?
Let me preface this reply by stating that I'm not done with Myst, yet.
So any of the following observations are based on only having gone
through 2 ages, so far.... But I think I can give you an idea:
You are Robinson Crusoe with amnesia. What you see is entirely POV
(point of view) i.e., when you click left you see what's to the left, --
no diminutive little caricatures scrambling across your screen. With
this, the visuals become more of a virtual reality experience -- minus
the smoother (but redundant) Z-axis dolly-ins of 7th Guest, and minus
the _emphasis_ on lip-synced (albeit repetitious) speech of Dracula
Unleashed. But the following qualities more than make up for that
(all my opinion of course <G>): Unlike 7th Guest, Myst has a "zap"
feature where you can short-cut back to a place you've already been
without having to go thru every twist & turn numerous times; and altho
Dracula Unleashed is to be commended for such beautiful-looking lip-sync
video (I still demo it for visitors to my PC), every time you revisit a
Dracula location, you can't escape the same speech reruns unless you
Fast Forward. In Myst, you walk around a SOUND-EFFECT-INFECTED island
(I use full spectrum stereo headphones and have the monitor closer than
usual to get really INTO it), interacting with strange DEVICES that do
unusual things for purposes you can't imagine -- but if you diligently
explore long enough, you begin to see the light. What brief
lip-synced speech there is in Myst, is mostly from SOURCES so you
don't get as sick of hearing voices. The music changes from
scene to scene and is so minimal, that it enhances rather than intrudes.
Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's music or a sound effect (which is
good). There's no need to accumulate objects & carry them around with
you in an inventory (what a relief!); you can stumble on to enigmas and
manipulate them in _almost_ any order that you like without being
penalized (unlike most adventure games); & last but not least, there is
never any "mistake" you can make where you wind up dead and having to
restore to an earlier point in the game to figure out where you went
wrong -- none of that -- at least so far! If you like using your MIND &
don't mind jotting down a few notes for future reference (you ARE really
THERE, right?) then brace yourself for a healthy Alternate Reality.
(OK Broderbund, where's my check? <smile>)

It's an encyclopedia type thing on CD-ROM. In addition to the

It's a lot of fun, especially if you get it free. The list price
is something like $120, but I'm sure it's available for a lot less.

If I can please jump in here and ask a simple (I hope) question? I had
an 8 bit SB and just got a 16 bit SB. My problem is the wav file I had
set to play on boot up on plays about 1 second and then stops. I noticed
last night when I tried to play wave files from within windows they started
and then just stopped or got hung up after a few seconds. The only
default I changed was to INT 7 instead of 5 due to a conflict. I ran the
diagnose software after I set everything up and it all worked. Had a
problem hearing sound from a CD msso. I did connect the audio cable from
the cd to the SB and have Labtec speakers. Any ideas on what I may have
missed or what might still be in my system/win .ini's from the 8 bit
driver? Thanks

Hi Matt, You definitely have to consider The 7Th Guest as one of the best

It could be the result of an incorrect version of Mscdex based on the version
of DOS you are running. DOS 6 came with a
version of Mscdex to be used with v. 6.
Also make sure the dip switch settings didn't get changed during shipping. You
MUST have it set to unit 1 (or 0 if that is the way the docs list it.)

Before you get a changer it would be worth you time to ask
around about the advantages vs disadvantages of running a
changer or a cd rom tower with 4 or 8 individual drives. I have
a great offer on a 4 drive setup complete for only $450. I also
have 1 setup with 8 drives still left... for $900. Callers
won't have to wait when a cd rom tower needs to access the disc
that contains the file(s) they want. My voice # is 205-824-2552

Yes, BUT it's "supposed" to be "1" 10 line post every week. People here
have either bullied the moderator into, basically, letting them do what
they want or he just does not care.
I have seen many 10 line posts DAILY from some vendors and thats why
they are in my TWIT filter. They break up their long posts into many 10
line posts and then posts them all, so what difference does it make.
Just experiment and add Joe Rinehart (no offence meant at all to Joe,
just an EXAMPLE) to and from in your twit filter. Notice you now no
longer see the "can you send me a catalog posts" ? Add a few others and
you will notice this topic becoming more like it IS supposed to be like.
Also notice that after twitting the sales ad's, the number of posts per
day drops from 100++ to 50-70. Too bad even though you can't see them
you STILL have to pay to transfer the rubbish.

Peter,
I've got copies of the 562b drivers for an AT interface card and many
others that I'd have to find that may suit your sound card.
Unfortunately I have no experience with your sound card so I'm not sure
if they will suit.
If you want a copy, I can upload them to Melb Pc BBS or put them on mine.
Probably best if you voice me on (03) 787 4410 to save some time.
Regards, Richard.
P.S. Many sound cards do NOT have drivers for OS/2 so you may be searching
in vain - an AT interface card only costs $40, supports 4 CD-Rom
drives and still has full audio support
... All I want is a hot woman, cold beer & unlimited power.

Hi James,

·∙· James Taylor Tapped out a message to Greg Hicks:
GH>> and the original Sound-Blaster card. I have been told that I can just
GH>> put CD-ROM in here (with it's own controller) and it will work fine.

JT> Tis true. You can't play the audio CD through the sound card.
Not quite correct, with a little modification you can direct the output from
the interface card back into your SB v1.0 to v2.0 SB card and have stereo
sound.
It does work because it is working here with my SB V1.5! The Music will play
and so will any windows generated sound at the same time.
Here is the instructions
* Original From: Urban Larsson, 2:201/209
* Original Date: Oct 25 00:21
============================================
OK Daniel, and anyone else thats interested, here's the solution how
to get stereo sound from the SoundBlaster 1.0 when playing CD-audio
sounds from the 562 CD-ROM driver using the paddle card.
You'll need: 2pc 18-Kohm 1/4W resistors
2pc 10inch flexible wire
Misc things, like soldering iron, cutters, etc..
1. Remove both the SB and the CD-ROM controller, "paddle" card from
your PC and put them in front of you so you can read the component
markings on the cards.
2. Locate the two 10k resistors (colorlabeled brown,black,orange,gold)
marked "R3" and "R4" one inch behind the MIC input connector on
the SB card.
3. Solder one end of the first 18K resistor to the R3 resistor's end
that points to the mic connector.
4. Solder one end of the first 10inch wire to the other end of the
18K resistor and the other end of the wire to the WHITE phono
connector's center lead on the paddle card.
5. Solder one end of the second 18K resistor to the R4 resistor's end
that points at the mic connector.
6. Solder one end of the second 10inch wire to the other end of the 18K
resistor that is connected to R4 and the other end of the wire to
the RED phono connector's center lead on the paddle card.
7. Protect the 18k resistors from shortcircut other parts of the SB
card by putting some shrinktubing over them.
The 18k resitors was choosen to get a 1-1 soundlevel between sampled
sound and cd audiotrack sound. If a non 562 cd-drive is used, the
values probable have to be adjusted. Use values down to 6.8k to get
louder CD audio, and up to 33k to get more SB audio.
Happy stereo listening. Ubbe.
P.S This can also be done to the SB 2.0, but the 10k resistors are
located 2 inches from mic connector and are marked "R21" and R23".
NOTE! The 18k resistor connecting to R21 should be soldered to
the end of R21 pointing AWAY from the mic connector.
Catch Ya Later, Darren.

Get at least a 2x spin. You best bet if ya don't have a sound card is
to buy one of the multimedia bundles. You get a cd-rom drive, sound card,
and some cd's. There are a couple of people on the echo here who sell
such items. Or, get yourself a computer cd-rom mag and check out ads
that are all through them for cd-rom bundles.

Better than some, NOT better than the Tyvec sleves a few folks use. Tyvec is a
LOT slicker (less likely to scratch the CD or to allow the CD to be scratched)
and a lot STRONGER than any material I've ever seen made into a ZipLoc bag.

Their mistake - GAMING is a backbone echo, so it should be available to any
BBS
that carries THIS echo.
It was also a LOT more popular echo last time I checked....

Some might, too many can't be bothered to LOOK at all of the confrences their

BF>the numbers (on BOTH ends of the equation) keep growing.
BF> Considering that I list over 1600 CD-ROM titles (as well as about 20 other
BF>items, mostly "Dummies" series books), your list is pretty small....
Well, if you compare oranges to oranges, your "in-stock" list is actually
smaller than mine. I could choose to consume bandwidth by advertising
thousands of titles I don't carry, but somehow it doesn't seem worth my
time and effort to do so, just so I can say "my list is bigger than yours"
8) Call me crazy, but one of my pet-peeves has always been mail-order
firms who would advertise the hell out of their products, and then tell me
they're "out of stock" on 75% of it when I try to order. That's why I
stopped dealing with MSD. Since that business practice irritates me, I
can only assume other consumers share my frustration, which is why I don't
treat them that way. When someone calls and orders 10 titles by overnight
air, I like to be able to tell them they'll be there tomorrow. Again, call
me crazy. 8)
Besides, my customers know I can special order any of over 3000 titles
at a moment's notice anyway, and usually have them the next day since we
place our orders almost daily, and I do quite a lot of that.
No offense taken at your comment Brice, it's just that anyone can "list"
1600 titles, but it doesn't mean anything as far as bragging rights. But
show me a firm that has a 97% in-stock rate vs. a firm with a 25% in-stock
rate, and I'll give my business to the 97% guy every time! (I'm hoping
others will do the same)

NA:>If yes, PLEASE tell me titles, or where to get them! Thanks very much!
Neil,
There are two that I know of: Otherware I and Garbo. Otherware has
300mb of Mac and 300mb of Amiga on an Iso 9660 CD. Can be used on an
IBM board with a little work to the file listings. Garbo is 50/50 Mac and
DOS shareware, again with work to be done on the file listings, but both
are currently being used on DOS-based boards across the country. Otherware
is in stock at $22, and Garbo is $14.30 if you're interested.
Later,

but its not mentioned in there....or at least I can't find it.
2. The cheat mode. After entering the code and the laughter, you can go to
any corner of the Ouija (the board) and you'll see the chattering teeth.
Click on that and it will give you a picture of every room (puzzle)

You might try downloading the Video for Windows runtime program directly
from Microsoft at BBS # (206) 936-6735. It is well of 1 Meg, so you had
better have a 14.4K modem or better. You probably want the whole thing,
since there might be related files you need and you won't want to cross

To get the stopper for the snow-globe you have to get the cork outta the wine

Is it worth upgrading or should I just keep my 562, I can get the Mitsumi for

DB**Can anyone suggest me which CD-rom encyclopedia is the best?
DB**Encarta, Grolier or Compton ?
All are good, and all are good sellers, with Encarta generally selling
the most...at least for us. Encarta is more multimedia-intensive then
the others, while Compton's tends to have more text content. I would
place Grolier's in third place, as it seems to have a good variety of
both multimedia and text, but not enough of either.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
First of all, my father has a bunch of Photo CDs he had made from
negative/slides he sent in. You MUST have Photo CD Access or Photo CD Access
Plus at least, although Adobe Photoshop will also open them; Photo CD Access
(From Kodak) is much cheaper, however. As for resolution, it'll go as high as
your monitor can go, and then some... The .PCD files (Photo CD Images files)
average about 20 megabytes because of this. And finally, they convert quite
nicely (Although they MUST remove some of the data, as 20 meg GIFs are bad
news) to GIFs, as well as many other formats. You COULD convert from the
highest resolution possible (Which is 5120xsomething or more) into a GIF, but
it would be pointless, so I usually convert to 1024x768x256 at max, or
800x600x65535 for better color. Have fun!

Chet, you are in luck! Not only is there such a drive available, I
read a review of it and was able to dig up the information. The drive of
which I speak is the new Toshiba TXM-4101 drive. While I avoid Toshiba
because of their theft and reselling of our "stelth screw" technology to
the Soviets, I don't "cut my nose off just to spite my face" - and in this
case, Toshiba has put a good feature in these drives. According to the
review I read in CD-ROM World, June '94, p. 68, "The tray has a unique
locking spindle that uses three spring-controlled ball bearings to lock the
disc in place during loading and ejection. This lets you mount the drive
horizontally or vertically without affecting preformance, a nice idea."
It is a double-spin, SCSI-2 drive; I have no idea if it is available
for other interfaces. The list price of the internal drive (TXM-4101B) is
$285.00

MSCDEX does report during bootup that all three drives are initalised, first
one is a mitsumi 1x and the 2/3rd are the 562Bs. It also report /D:MSCD002 is
being used by both the ID0 and ID1 drives and everything looks swell until I
do a dir and can only list the contents for drive ID0 (* even dir ID1 gives
the contents of what ID0 has *). I'm really stumped on this one as I'd really
like to free with one slot, right now I'm using both panasonic 8bit interface,
only one supports multidrive though. The mitsumi is driven by my ATI sound
card.

any problem running this game smooth but the waiting is ridiculous!!??! Is it
that the CD itself doesn't take advantage of double spin?
I ran Rebel Assault with really quick screens and not much wait at all.

Has anyone had a roll of film developed for the Kodak Photo-CD?
What kind of software does this require?
How is the resolution? Is it easily converted to GIF?
I spent several months tracking down info on this system. I'm
posting answers that came from others in this echo some time ago.
I think all your questions will be answered when you read this.
(The file makeup -- from a previous poster)
Truth be known, Bob, each of these .PCD files actually contain 5 different
resolutions in what Kodak call an Image-Pak. These are combined together and
compressed to .PCD files in the range 3.2Mb to 6.5Mb.
The resolutions are:
128x192 Base/16 72Kb Thumbnail
256x384 Base/4 258Kb For putting multi images on the
screen
512x768 Base 1.1Mb TV quality
1024x1536 4Base 4.5Mb HDTV quality
2048x3072 16Base 18Mb for high quality printing needs
There is one further resolution available only on the Pro Photo-CD
4096x6144 64Base 72Mb for ultra high quality printing
needs
Naturally, all of these are true colour images (24 bit) and their size will be
reduced to 33% of the original size if they are converted down to 8bit (256
colours). In terms of quality, I have seen A4 colour seperations from the
16Base image, and let me tell you, they are as good as you will ever see in
the best quality magazines you can buy.
(From another poster)
I'm becoming a big fan of Photo CD. It's the ultimate way to catalog and
store your photos. I've never been good at putting pictures in albums, so
Photo CD adds a little order to my life. I try to get the order of pictures
correct when I have the discs made. But I have used the Photo CD player's
memory to store some minor changes.
Also, I can quickly load the pictures into my PC. I have Corel Draw and it's
Corel Mosaic program loads Photo CD pictures and saves them in most any
picture format. I use Corel's PhotoPaint and the Halo Imager to modify
pictures. I've played with Gryphon's Morph for Windows to do thinks like turn
me into my cat (meow). I have also used bits of my Photo CD images in
Autodesk Animator Pro Animations - although it is more expensive, I get much
better results than when I digitize video from my camcorder.
[I've since purchased Corel's PhotoCD program, called "Corel
Professional Photos -- CD-Rom" This is a series of CD's that
cover different subjects -- over 100 different in the series,
each has one hundred pictures that are in public domain -- but
each disk includes the software that allows you to view, change
formats etc. I got mine a one of the computor shows for about
$16.00. Mine has pictures of the Caribbean]
Eastman Kodak Co. has a hot line for any questions on
their products. Call 1-800-242-2424
(Another contributor to my info file)
I have been doing what you are talking about for about a year. I have
four cd disk's full of photos that I have made in that time. Each disk
will hold 100-125 exposures and viewing them on a 17 inch monitor sure
beats the small prints. The software I use to show the images is
called "Photo Factory for Windows". It is sold by a company in San
Antonio, TX. The MultiMedia Store. I believe the price is $69.00 and
with it comes 100 midi music files that can be played along with
displaying the photos...Their phone # is 800-597-3686 if you are
interested. Every time I take a roll of film I can't wait to see what
they look like.
The processing is done by Kodak and cost about seventy cents per
exposure.
[Prices are coming down -- you can get them for about 50c each
now]
Hope this answers some of your questions.

We have chatted about using diskette tyvek sleeves to protect CDROMs...
RV> Royalties? Oh dear!
JC> Naaah, not even a little one is necessary.
Maybe we should discuss product liability <grin>? (just kidding)
I can now attest that storing a stack of CDROMs in Tyvek sleeves, _without_
placing the stack inside a containing box, is _definitely_ hazardous! I turned
around in my chair, and knocked the entire stack off the bookshelf and onto the
floor. Many landed face down. A very few stayed inside their sleeves.
Fortunately, none was cruched under the wheels of my chair (what a tragedy that
would have been!), and none was scratched in the fall.
They are now stored inside a Clik!Case "CD 24 Maximum CD Protection" case.
This hard-shelled case closes securely and provides reasonably rigid
jewel-box-like supports for each CD, with clearance bewteen the disk itself and
the backing surface. Cost was 13.95 - 10% = 12.55 at my local music store
(about 52 cents per disk). It doesn't take up much room, it's easy to flip
throught the disks, and I feel the disks are *safe* at last.
P.S. I'm _not_ serious about the product liability. Thanks for your helpful
suggestions and discussions!
P.P.S. There is a similar case made by another company, which has *flexible*
holders. I tried it, and found that I ended up grinding the disk into the
backing when trying to get it out. Caveat Emptor!
(They also did not bother elevating the disk away from the backing surface
enough. Dumb!)

MPEG 1 and VideoCD
The MPEG 1 codec standard (352-by-240 pixel video at 30 frames
per second) is into multimedia computers and consumer electronic.
MPEG playback is a add-on card for Phillips CD-I player. It can
be found on the ReelMagic card for the PC from Sigma Designs.
MEPG playback is optional for the Panasonic 3DO REAL Interactive
Multiplayer. The Macintosh version of ReelMagic is due from
Radius.
Other competitors of Sigma Designs MPEG 1:
1. Matrox Marvel II by Matrox ($895).
2. Jakarta MPEG by Jazz Multimedia ($449)
Most MPEG playback board will be based on the CL-450 MPEG decoder
chip from C-Cube Microsystems. The other type will use MPEG
decoder from LSI logic.
A consortium for MPEG was formed to insure that all these boards
are compatible. The consortium consisted of 50 companies that
worked with MIcrosoft on a common MPEG API for Windows.
Texas instruments introduced the first VideoCD system that will
move MPEG to television screens. A joint effort of JVC,
Matsushita, Phillips and Sony , the VideoCD adds data interchange
and VCR like controls to an MPEG 1 compression engine. The
VideoCD is also known as White Book. MGM, Paramount and
Columbia will be releasing video-CD movies that are geared to the
high end audio market.
According to Eric Brown of New Media, VideoCD music CDs will
offer music videos in addition to audio tracks that can play on
standard audio CD player. This is due out Fall 94.

Eric,
I have been looking in software stores and I have seen realized that
there is only 3 different ones.
I presently have on loan "The Software Toolworks Multimedia Encyclopedia"
and I think it's not bad but I haven't played with anything else.
Which one would you pick in the 3 ?

Mike,
I am in the same position as you (CD-Rom about 2 weeks old and looking
for a good encyclopedia) and I have been asking the same question.
I presently have THE SOFTWARE TOOLWORKS ENCYCLOPEDIA on loan from
a friend and I am very pleased with it's content. It turns out
to be the cheapest encyclopedia that I have seen at computer stores in
this area.
I have heard that Encarta has a lot of "bells and whistles" but falls
short on content.
As far as on Comptons, I don't know.

If you were to goto Harkers home the 2 days before on day 2, then she would
tell you to meet her at the funeral the next day, there you will meet a priest,
and he will send the cross to miss Harker the next morning. So one of the
fist things you do on day 4 is go there and get the cross.

Actually it is doing a sort of learned pattern matching and is writing
read data from the cd to the hard drive area. If you consider the
access speed of hard drives this is a fast way. Unlike Hard drive cache
programs you can just send a 1-2 or so meg read ahead into memory for
the speed but in the case of a cdRom the data can be very expansive
which could be very difficult to cache into memory so the Hard Drive
area is the next best thing.
The only way that this type of program is very good at all is if you are
hitting the same data over and over again. Otherwise this is not very
good at this time. Smartdrive and Norton and Cache 86 (my favorite)
will give you better performance gains with the normal cache into memory
options.
Hope this helps.

I can probably help you, I repair computers for Philips/Magnavox. First off,
the driver will be found on your original install disks that came with the
computer. . .
If that doesn't help,
I need to know the model number of your computer, and I need you to explain a
little more clearly as to what kind of problem you are having with the cdrom
and what you are trying to do, ie, installed a second hard drive, and now the
cd doesn't work?
Finally, please reply with you're real name, as I am not going to converse with

They should have changed "tryst" to "trysts" so that the sentence made
grammatical sense. Either that or change "gypsy" to "gypsies", introducing two

Yes, very true! You can also probably usea disassembler and then re-assemble
the code, too. I've been reading about the future of software distribution
on CD-ROM from probably the same mags you read. At least in this way, you
can run the demo to see if you like it.

David,
Thank you for expressing your opinion. All I have to say is
that several others on the island that you are on appreaciate
knowing about these prices. I have seen many ads repeated by other
network dealers & feel I have to keep up with them. This is after all a
commercial CD-ROM echo.
Oh yea, maybe I should mention that we have a military discount
for all nations...
Thanks again for your correspondance.
Best regards,
Joe

Opps, I errored in this is not a commercial echo. But still
fell that I have to keep up with all of the other net dealers that also
post daily.
I have recently cut down my ads on this echo based on what is
allowed according to the echo rules. We are seriously thinking about
pulling all ads from any non-commercial echo provided we be allowed to
post our review collection in the name of public service. We have found
on the Internet that providing CD-ROM REVIEWS as a public service we no
longer have to advertise. In any regard, your (& whomever else may be
reading) opinion in regards to this paragraph is solicited. Hopefully,
you'd not think our review collection is too fruity;-)
Best Regards,
Joe

Recently, I removed the CD-ROM echo from my offline reader's message base. I
want pros/cons, opinions, what works and what doesn't work. The bulk of this
echo is "CD-ROMS for sale". Messages of this type should be in a separate for
sale echo, and in my opinion, are inappropriate for the CD-ROM echo.

Interesting thing here, though it has nothing much to do with your
mishap. Some time ago I had it pointed out to me that often it was
best (or at least better) to have scratches occur on the "face"
if you consider the face to be the label side. Apparently the
plastic on that side is much thicker than on the "silver" side.
'Course, if yours landed on the silver side that wouldn't be of any
good to you. I'm just glad that all worked out well.
RV>They are now stored inside a Clik!Case "CD 24 Maximum CD Protection" case.
Good for you. Sorry you had to go through the disasters of my
suggestion and that other case. Hope all works out well for you
now. Cheers!

OK thanks. Um I can't seem to find the attic. Where is it? If its the
door upstairs (after you make a left at top of stairs and then a right
down a short hall) I can't get in there. Is that it? I've beaten all the
puzzles, (besides microscope). Any advise?

Help...just bought Dragon's Lair and am having some problems w/a few
screens. First is when Dirk is on some suspended walkways and they
start to crumble behind him...I move forward 2x's to get to the next
screen and then no matter what I do the bats get him or he falls
off...I've also tried to jump across to the other side on the first
screen.
Second - how do you get past the knight...I've gotten just about all
the way to him and can't find a way past moving up about three times
before I'm on a square where I can't move anywhere w/o getting zapped!
Last and finally...a room w/bats again....I swing once - killing
bats...then run forward to stairs going down and they drop....right
there no matter what I do I can't jump across to finish climbing down
to face the big spider????????
any and all help is very appreciated...

Hey Casey...that door that you see in the library...it's not important to

On your last two questions, well, I've never heard of the "Zaphod Beeblebrox"
cheat...and I'm not too sure about the sound problem...All I can say is that
the last time I had sound troubles was on the account of having the incorrect
IRQ setting...or IRQ conflicts of some sort..
Anyway, hope it helps...

Hi there Boris,
I am interested in some of your CDs. Do you have a catalogue of the
titles in stock, and do you do international orders (Australia) and what
are the costs of sending here? As well, do you stock "adult" titles?
Please reply to me in this echo.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Vladimir.

Sounds interesting Bob, do you have a list of the titles and their

Let me know the details and we'll see what happens.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi all,
If you're over 18 years old & ever seen, heard or bought the occasional;
- Adult-only BBS echo conferences
- An Adult-only bitmap image software title on a BBS
or CD-ROM, (BMPs, GIFs, etc)
- An adult-only non-interactive digital/quicktime movie,
- An adult-only interactive game,
- An adult-only game like the entertaining "DOOM"
and wish to continue purchasing both EXISTING & FUTURE titles in Australia then
you had better WRITE to the ACT & Federal government today (do it now !) & tell
them that you are opposed to the National ban on R & X rated computer games,
that you believe that "Adults should be allowed to see, hear & read what they
want". The ACT is the last state that intends to ban these games & they are
the most reluctant state to do so ! But without your input they WILL ban them
! The R/X ban legislation is due to be presented to the ACT in early-mid July.
A draft will be available from the ACT government towards the end of June.
You will need to write to ALL of the below ministers,so that
maximum impact can be obtained. It's high time that the unrepresentative
minority lobby groups in this country were stopped in their tracks. They've
got their R & X classification, but that's a far as they should be permitted to
go. Just draft a brief letter, copy it & send it to ALL of the below list now
!
Also get your adult computer/BBS friends to send letters, spread the word. Stop
being afraid to speak out, do it (I am writing my letters as I speak !)
What will happen in the future when books, magazines, newspapers & videos are
all REPLACED by Electronic Publishing/Multimedia CD-ROMs & Communication
Networks ? I bet the government & the OFLC will consider them as "programs",
not electronic books & hence banned if they contain any R or X rated material !

ONCE THE ACT PERMITS THE SALE OF R/X, WE CAN THEN WORK ON REVERSING THE OTHER
STATES !!! STAY TUNED....
It would also be a good idea to write to your local state & Federal MPs & ALL
state Attorney-Generals. This national ban was decided in a closed meeting
between all the Australian Attorney-Generals earlier this year. Where's the
democratic decision-making process come into this ? It didn't,so you need to
tell them WE won't put up with this ! If you cannot find a particular state
Attorney-Generals contact address & phone number then call your local phone
"directory assistance operator" & they'll give it to you !
DO IT NOW & DON'T LET THESE MINORITY GROUPS RULE THE ENTIRE NATION !!!! It will
only take ten minutes of your time. It's time to stand up for your rights as
an Adult ! You shouldn't have to but now YOU do in this country...
Regards,
Patrick.
PS: Don't believe the Federal government won't legislate to ban the import of
this material. Once they succeed in banning the retail sale/BBS use of this
material they'll quickly change the customs act & ban their import as well. Do
not believe that Customs can't effectively police bans on software. So it's
most important that this retail ban be stopped in its tracks !
WHY HAVEN'T GOVERNMENTS BANNED SMILING ? - IT'S NUMBER FIVE ON THE LOBBY GROUPS

I almost bought one from a local retailer for $369 (they are very common

NOT have the controller, nor any cables, nor driver disk, nor warranty
card, nor instruction manuals, nor box. Just handed to me with a strip
of blister pack wrapped around it.
Beware, know what it is you are really buying! Nothing wrong with the
510, but know what it is you are getting - it is NOT the NEC 3Xi which
is a pn CDR-500.

Subj: NEC 3Xi Drives ????? Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Just a word to the wise. Whenever you see an NEC 3Xi advertised for
around $369 you might ask what the part number is. If it is a CDR-510,
then it is the OEM unit mfd by NEC without the front panel and goodies.
ALSO, they do not warrent nor service it. That is up to whoever sells
it.
If you want the REAL NEC 3Xi, the part number is CDR-500 and will cost
you $75 - 100 more than the reduced functionality CDR-510. Not saying
there is anything wrong with the 510, but if you want the full blown LCD
front panel with lots of buttons, warranteed and serviced by NEC, you
ain't getting it with a 510. I'm sure the quality is still there, and
the price for someone who only wants to use it as a computer peripheral
is certainly attractive. If you want to use it a lot for music playing
while in your computer, you will have to always start up software to run
your music funcitons.

This is a bare bones walk through of the Channelwood Age of MYST.
Although not all details are covered, the main points needed to solve the
puzzles, find the pages, and return to the Library, are covered. This walk
through begins in the Cha nnelwood Age. If you need help getting to the
Myst book that brings you to this age, see the walk through for Myst Island
which contains information to help you find each Myst book on the island.
You begin facing a tree on a series of wooden walkways. Find your
way along these walkways until you have found an elevator, a circular
stairway you can't enter, a pump like device with a handle, and the wind
mill building. In the wind mill building, turn on the faucet at the
bottom of the large tank. The pipes along the walkway have switches that
direct the water flow to different routes. Set these switches so that
water flows to the pump by the elevator. Enter the elevator and clo se
the door by clicking on it. Pull the handle and ride up to the lower tree
level. Find you way to the circular stairway and go down it. You can
open the door from the inside and it will stay open. Reset the pipe
switches so that water flows to the pump device at the bottom of the
circular stairway. Go back up the stairs to the elevator next to the
stairs and ride it to the upper tree level. There is a red page, a blue
page, and the right half of a note to be found here, along with various
clues to the behavior of the former occupants. When you are ready to
leave, make your way to the wooden walkways and reset the switch so that
water flows to the pump device at the end of the deadend walkway. Pull the
handle on the pump and the brid ge to the other section of walkway will
appear. Follow it to another elevator. Follow the wooden walkway (not the
one you came here on) until you find a crank. Turning this will extend the
pipe across the gap. Go back to the pipe switches and dir ect the flow of
water to the path that leads to the temporary pipe across the gap, which
leads to the last elevator. Take this elevator up to a small room where the
Myst book that transports you back to the Library can be found. Put the
page in the same colored book and read it to get more of the story. Return
via the Myst book in the Large Tree to get the other page. Don't forget to
copy down the right half of the note so you can match it up with the left
half when you find it.

This is a bare bones walk through of the Everdunes Age of MYST.
Although not every detail is covered, the basic points needed to set the
Scanner, get the blue page, enter the small building and find the Myst book
to return you to the Library , are covered. The walk through begins in the
Everdune Age at the starting point. If you need help getting to the Myst
book that brings you to this age, see the walk through for Myst Island, it
lists the means to reaching all the Myst books on the island.
You begin in the Rocketship, which locks shut behind you as soon as you
leave it. Follow the ramp and then the path, past a small building. To
enter the building you need to set the sliders on the lock to certain
sounds, just as you had to set the sliders on the Rocketship to certain
notes. The first puzzle in this age revolves around finding the correct
"sequence" of sounds which is the combination to open the lock. Explore
the island, you should find five different symbols, each with a red button
in front of them. Press each red button as you find them. This "turns on"
the radios that broadcast the sound through the satellite dishes above
them. You will also find a blue page which you need to take with you. The
final location is the Scanner, reached by following the tunnel at the
bottom of the ladder which is in front of the symbol for "Wind". Open the
Scanner by clicking on the doors. Inside is a screen, a numerical readout,
five buttons with the same "sound symbols" you found around the island, a
large, red "enter" button and two directional buttons. Press one of the
sound symbol buttons, then "tune" the Scanner using the directional
buttons, finding the sound that matches the selected sound symbol by lining
up the radio satellite dish, located where you found the symbol, in the
viewfinder. One of the two directional buttons will flash when you are
close, this helps "fine tune" the sound until it is clear (you will hear
the sound through the scan ner speakers). When it is clear (neither button
flashes) press the big red "enter" button to lock in the coordinates. Do
this for all five sound symbols (some you cannot see due to the mist on the
island, just scan around and listen for the sound). When you enter the
last symbol's coordinates with the red button, the Scanner will play back
all the sounds in a certain order. This order of sounds is the combination
to the "sound lock" to the small building.
Set the sliders on the small building "sound lock" to the proper sounds in
the correct order and press the button. Enter the building and make your
way to the strange vehicle. Enter the vehicle and sit in the pilot seat.
Press forward and the vehicle will be set onto the tracks of an underground
rail system. At each stop, you can only go in certain directions, using
the right and left arrow keys to turn to each direction and the forward
button to move in the correct direction. The correct sequence of
directions is:Start - N, W , N, E, E, S, S, W, SW, W, NW, NE, N, SE. You
will be at the end of the rail system. Leave the vehicle and follow the
corridor to the Myst book that transports you back to the Library.

This is a bare bones walk through of the Stoneship Age of MYST. Although
not every detail is covered, the basic points needed to solve the puzzles
and find the pages, are covered.
The walk through begins in the Stoneship Age, at the starting point. If
you need help getting to the Myst book that brings you to this age, see the
walk through for Myst Island, it lists the means to reaching all the Myst
books on the island. You begin on the rear deck of the ship. Make you way
along the pl anks to the small island with the umbrella on it. There are
three swiches here. The first one pumps the water out of the ship, the
second pumps the water out of the tunnels and the third pumps the water out
of the lighthouse basement. Press the th ird one and return to the ship.
Follow the planks to the lighthouse. Go down to the basement and turn the
spigot on the chest so that the water runs out of it. Close the spigot and
return to the switches by the umbrella. Turn on the second switch,
clearing the way into the tunnels and flooding the lighthouse basement.
Return to the lighthouse, the water will have floated the chest up to the
boards. The key chained to the boards in front of the ladder will open the
chest when you click on it. Inside the chest is the key to the trap door
above the ladder. Open the lock with this key and climb up to the top of
the lighthouse. Turn the generator handle to charge the batteries. (You
will have to return here to do this anytime the lights go out during your
stay in this age.) There is a level indicator on the battery to see if it
is fully charged. Go to the tunnels and search the bedrooms at the bottom
of each. You should find a red page, a blue page, and the left half of a
note. Write down the words on the note so you can refer to it when you
find the right half. There is a typo (believe it or not) in the note.
Substitute the word "on" for the word "off" in the third line from the
bottom. On one of the landings in the stairways leading down to the
bedrooms is a secret panel. Find it and open it. Inside is a compass
surrounded by buttons. To determine which button to press, find the
stairs leading to the top of the island and the spy glass on a stand. (Be s
ure the battery in the lighthouse is fully charged before going up.) Look
through and, using the "hand", rotate the view until you find the
lighthouse (which should be blinking). Note the degrees indicated on the
viewfinder. Return to the compass in the secret passage. Press the button
that corresponds to the number of degrees of a circle that the lighthouse
was at in the spy glass. The correct button lights the underwater lamp,
which illuminates this chamber, and the ship cabin. Return to the switches
by the umbrella, turn on the one that pumps out the ship cabin, and go to
the ship. Enter the cabin and make you way to the table at the lowest
level. Clicking on the table will cause the Myst book that transports you
to the Library t o appear. Use it to return to the Library and put the
page in the book of the same color. Reading the book will give you part of
the story. Return to the Stoneship Age via the Myst book in the cabin of
the ship at the dock to get the other page an d bring it to the Library to
use on the other book.

This is a bare bones walk through of the endgame of MYST.
Although not all details are covered, the main points to conclude the
game are covered. You need to have fully explored the Mechanical Age,
Stoneship Age, Channelwood Age and Everdun e Age before entering the
endgame.
There is a walk through for each age, as well for the start of the
game and for Myst Island itself if you need help with these areas.
Putting the next to last red and blue pages into the books holding the
brothers captive will trigger one brother to tell you how to find the
final red and blue pages and a final Myst book using the fireplace.
Find the correct number pattern in the appropriate library book and
copy it down. Enter the fireplace and press the red switch. The door
closes and you can recreate the pattern from the book in the metal on
the door by clicking the correct squares on or off. Press the switch
again and the fireplace rotates to reveal a secret chamber. The final
red page, blue page and a green Myst book are located here. Read the
green book (despite the brother's warning) and you will find out the
true story of the brothers and what you must do to complete the game.
The key to finding the final white page is on the note which you found
in two pieces, one in the Stoneship Age and one in the Channelwood
Age. Be warned, in some versions there is a typo in the note. The
proper process is to turn all the marker switches "on" and then to
turn the one indicated in the note to t he "off" position. When you
do this, the panel on the marker switch will pop open and reveal the
white page.
Take the page back to the secret chamber in the fireplace and use the
book to transport to Dunney, where you will give the page to the
father of the two brothers (the man falling into the crevice at the
very opening sequence of the game). He will return to Myst and deal
with his sons. He asks you to wait for him in Dunney. He will return
and the final bit of story will come out. At this point your are left
to wander the ages of Myst until you are needed again. There is no
big wrap-up or battle. Unless, of course, I've myst something and
the game is not really over. . . .

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

The Hack List Newsletter
────────────────────────
We'd like to introduce you to a new disk-based newsletter, offered to
people interested in the legal distribution of commercial software. Com-
mercial can mean either software sold through retail stores or as regis-
tered Shareware programs sold directly to users. This newsletter can give
you a means to let others in the industry know what programs are being
distributed illegally, or you can simply find out about illegal programs.
The Hack List Newsletter contains a compilation of illegal programs
found on BBS's, in Shareware catalogs, and even on CD-ROM's. It currently
contains over 318 BBS filenames, over 131 Commercial program names, and
over 101 illegal files found on 28 different Shareware CD-ROM disks. Also
included is information about Federal Copyright Laws and how it affects
the distribution of software, along with Hack List News, which features
legal and other current news of interest. If you're a Shareware distrib-
utor, you'll be able to spot commercial, hacked, and cracked files, or be
able to decide whether you can legally distribute them. If you're a pub-
lisher, you can inform others about the illegal distribution of software.
We also have a condensed version just for Shareware vendors and those
who don't need the entire Newsletter. It's simply a printout of programs,

MPC just stands for multimedia PC. No biggie. OEM means original
equipment manufacturer. This usually only includes the disk...not
even a manual. The other kind (the word slips my mind) is like
retail, this includes the entire package you see at CompUSA.
The last kind is usually most expensive.
Hope I've helped to clear things up!

To all you players who are lost in The 7th Guest, I offer my help. I have
beaten the game hundreds of times, and recently got the hint book as a
graduation gift. I will answer all of your questions the way that the book
tells and then you can move on in the game. I will however, answer two
commonly asked questions now.
1.) Don't waste alot of time trying to figure out how to beat the microscope
puzzle, it's not necessary to beat it to beat the game. It was a puzzle the
programmers put in to waste your time and frustrate you. Move on.
2.) "Zaphod Beeblebrox" is the code. Type it exactly as it looks when you
start the games at the sphinx board. Then move the hand over to the "yes" or
"no" icons and click to view each of the 23 different rooms.
In return, I would appreciate any general help in Myst. I just got it
yesterday, and am a bit confused as to the point of the game. C-ya L8tr. Bye

Right now, I copy all the FILES.BBS listings into one file per disc, and
search that with a word processor. That will tell me if what I'm looking
for is on disc, but it doesn't tell me WHERE on the disc.
Had I the patience, I would program it myself, it is a fairly simple exercise
to search the directory tree, and a fairly simple exercise to do pattern
matching. But as far as I know, nobody has put the two together.

JK> I need some help deciphering the myriad of information concerning

JK> (a) What are the differences between the current crop of Sound
JK> Blaster cards? i.e. differences between Sound Blaster, Sound
JK> Blaster Pro, Sound Blaster Multi CD,
JK> Sound Blaster SCSI II, Sound Blaster Pro 2 and
JK> Sound Blaster AWE 32.
SB = 8 bits, mono, no CD-ROM interface
SBPro = 8 bits, stereo, 1 proprietary CD-ROM interface
SB16 = 16 bits, stereo, 1 proprietary CD-ROM interface
SB16MCD = SB16 but can support two other brands of CD-ROM
SB16SCSI-2 = SB16 but can support SCSI CD-ROM drives.
JK> (b) How do the Media Vision line of sound cards compare to the
JK> Sound Blaster sound cards? Differences between
JK> Pro Audio Spectrum Basic, Pro Audio Spectrum, and
JK> Pro Audio Studio?
Many consider them superior, but, the company has reported financial
problems since the management team was changed in March.
JK> (d) From my limited understanding the Gravis Ultra Sound seems like
JK> a dark horse? How does the Gravis rank in terms of the previously
JK> mentioned sound cards?
Technically superior, but not as well supported. Can fool some software
into thinking it's a SB via emulation, but nowhere near supporting all
software.

And, what CD-ROM do you recommend.
