PP**    Will this catalogue be available for file request at some time?

Thanks for asking, Patty, but not for the time-being.  I'd be happy to
mail one out to you, or you may download it off our BBS @ [phone]
using the name:  *CATALOG WANTED and the password:  NOW .
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                    ^^^

The file (CATALOG.ZIP) is about 386K so takes around 5 minutes total to
retrieve.  Let me know what you'd prefer.

Thanks

Try 60.....  Unless your running ms-dos 6.2, and loading Smartdrv after the
mscdex load, it won't help...  What benchmark program are you using?

CM> VC> upgradable to the new Mitsumi Double-speed...do you know?

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
CM>change the motor, then, you have to change some of the ICs.

CM>Unless you use Multi-Media or something like that, single speed drive is
CM>tolerable.

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outdated though, now they have 4xspeed drive (of course they cost a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).

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
was told that it would be sent off later that day.  It didn't arrive here
until 3 or 4 weeks later.  I thought it may have been just the mail, but the
mail ain't that bad.

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.

Okay everbody,
        I took advice of a dealer and purchased Top Drawer CD ROM. I don't
think this is the disk for me! On second thought I KNOW it's not. I have spent
several hours trying to set this up the way I want it. I was just ready to try
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
Crop, Night Owl 11.1 or 12 or pretty much any GOOD BBS ready XXXXXXXX although
I already have Flame.
        I need to get some files up for my users before I lose them.

Now, off topic..who knows of a Door for Online Store that doesn't need Credit
Cards. I don't seem to find a BBS Carrier for ANY Credit Cards!

Quoting SIGI RINDLER:

SR>I have input many standard sentences for certain

SR>I also use a CD whichh is called "Languages of the World"

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
PC Mag just arrived with a full review of sound boards, and the features
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?

NH>Hi All,

NH>I also know of other people with the same problem I have but no-one seems to

I have the same problem with Return to Zork.  I think that it's the game
program code that causes it since I can play the audio track on my
CD-Rom music player and hear the same sounds but without the popping.
Check some BBS's for a possible update patch.

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.

    3xp?  I thought they only came in the 3xe and 3xi flavours.  I have the 3xi
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> 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.

Then it happened......Edward Crouser says
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
and that sort running Windows under MS-DOS, than under OS/2.

 That game was a waste of my time, all that hype for nothing more than 16
 color cheesy graphics. I am just happy that I purchased it at an
 esatablishment that accepted returns. I have tried contacting the maker and
 never revieved and asnwer back. The Better Business Bureau suggeted I write,
 but  I still did not recieve a phoen call or letter.

I am searching for some. *NEW* Windows ShareWare CD-ROM's. If would be nice if
they were dated after 1/1-94, I don't want old files/programs. I'm running
Remote Access 2.01 so it good if the CD's includes FILES.BBS listings or
something similar. It IS important is that they ARE NOT too expensive!!

The following is what I want the CD's to contain:

* Utilities
* Programs
* Shells
* Games
* Nice games
* TrueType Fonts
+ Other nice stuff

I'm also interested in other Windows CD's.

Please answer in this Echo-area. As you see, i am not yet in the official
nodelist, that's the swedish coordinator fault, not mine :) If you want, you
can also answer by NetMail to 2:201/0

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.

Hope this helps.

Go to the main foyer, turn to face the stairs as if you were going to go up
them, then place the cursor on the ground near the base of the stairs, it

Hope I've been of some help,

 I got a Toshiba 3401 external CD-ROM, I opened it up, and found out
its nothing but a Toshiba 3401 internal in a external box.  The drive is hooked
up to what looks like a power supply on the side, and the external ports on the

back of the box.  I don't forsee any problems with changing this drive to an
internal, but you can never be too sure. Does anyone have any advice?

  Thanks,

I have only had rolls of print film put on a cd disk. I use  Enhanced
Multipurpose 400 asa and make about 100 exposures to be put on the disk. If you
are talking about taking putting a print that is allready made then I don't
think it can be done other than to take a picture of the picture. If you have
the negitive, then yes you can have it put on the disk. Hope that answer
helps. Let me know if I can be of any further service. Be glad to help if I
can.

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.......

Thanks for the reply. I know NEC is a good brand. It may be a couple or
three weeks before I can do this, so I've got your message extracted to

so I've got all your information filed away for later use.

Thanks for the response.

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
facinating that we as a computer group haven't complained about this
subject before thats all!

Yep that's true, I bought this game allmost a week ago, it's quite nice to see
the intro but thats all, the game isn't that cool...
Basicly you'll spend a lot of time trying to shoot some cells in the guy's
body... But the parts thats are really great are the movies between the

Hello All!

I've just bought a new game called Megarace and it's one of the best on the
CD-ROM seen I guess. The introduction is about 10 minutes long and the views of
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...

Greets,

    Sidi

Ahah! You are obviously the person I've been searching for;<} I thank
you for the helpful information. Am I understanding correctly, then,
that if I were to take 90-100 photos to a photofinisher for transfer
to Kodak CD, the cost would be *about* $60? Or am I misunderstanding
you? Because that's a price I can live with.  You haven't by any chance
dealt with a mail-order company who will do this, have you? If so, I
would appreciate a name and address. Thanks again.

Patty, will the SB 16 SCSI work with an `external' CDROM drive? I may have
to get the NEC MultiSpin 3xe. My computer sits on its side, below my desk,
and I don't know if I can buy the 3xi since the drive would be sitting
vertically instead of horizontally. Will a CDROM drive work in the
vertical position, or does it have to be sitting horizontally? Thanks.

Guys, TFX looks like a very interesting flight sim on CD-ROM from the pix

be released here very shortly, I think maybe April or May.

The one detached from the house on the ground floor is probably the
painting room you're referring to. Try going to the bottom of the
staircase and click on the teeth that should appear on the rug at the
bottom of the stairs.

Have you done the maze and crypt puzzle off the kitchen?

No problems at all. It's my first CD-ROM drive and I've got no regrets
at all... Bought it with the Audiowave 16 multimedia pack.

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
know how to.

Performance is great, double-speed multisession etc etc.

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.)

I can't see how the reelmagic card has got anything to do with what type of CD

card, why would it matter what sort of CDrom drive you are using?

not matter as transport of CD's will be local.

Hi Ted I was reading some of your messages concerning the 562B cd-drive, and
the SB card. I have just purchased the 562B drive and am having trouble
connecting thr drive to my sound blaster V2. Can you shed some light on my
prrblem.
I have tried running a cable from my cd interface card to my SB mic input which
works, that is I can record the sound through windows (sound recorder) but the
problem is that no sound will come out of my speakers connected to the SB. any
help appreciated?????

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
to give me a good deal on 1 2 & 4.

 HB> BTW, have you checked with him about any older copies of 1 & 2? He

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.

Thanks for the help,

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

        Comm 2 and have the new modem addressed at Comm 1 to hopefully
        avoid any hidden surprises.

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!   :)

That game sucks!! ....It's more like wolfenstein! ...The only graphics

That's where you are wrong! ..They took out some scenes on the 3DO

Mike,
I am a leading member of a Tokyo based PC Users Group. Would you
mind telling me the person's name behind the "Beware" tread?
Maybe it needs only verification if the guy is called "Boris +
some Polish sounding name"...
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
the range of 2 to 5 CDs for one shipment)?

Thanks,
Sigi

 > Isn't renting software Illegal?  Then again, it's not like you can
 > copy CD-ROM'S...

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>

Hello All,
    I just read an ad from Media Vision Resources for a "Multimedia
Solution"; a complete CD-ROM drive plus speakers and sound board all in
1 case. The ad says it comes with a dual-speed CD-ROM drive, amplifier,
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.

     Ben,

     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
     else for you.

     That means that as a bonus for the people who are reading and ordering
     from the FIDOnet as an ad source you get better pricing than our
     advertised price in the monthly publications.  When you call just tell
     them you saw it here on the BBS and you will receive the discount price.

     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

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.

JB>Supported by whom?  By Creative Labs?  Of course not!  They never

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
marketplace has effectivly redefined the term.  If you go into a store and ask
for an IDE drive, do you think anyone is going to ask whether you want ATA or
SCSI (or proprietary)?  After all, all are IDE in the sense you are using.

Hi Christian,

Those machines used to dispense cash and deposit cheques, ect so you don't

Hi Boris,
I tried your fax number (216-225-6759) and someone answered.  Is this the
correct number?  If so when is it available?  I can't call 1-800 numbers
from Bermuda so I'll probably have to corrispond via fax/snailmail.
Thanks.

Sorry Martin, I never was able to do better than you. When recording sound from
the CD I only hear it after it is recorded.

There is probably a hardware solution, the "Y" cable used for the two sets of
head phones plus gender benders.  The cost may be excessive however.

    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, from what I know Hell Cab isn't that great; Journeyman Project has
AMAZING graphics, and Rebel Assault is supposed to be the BEST; also, Return
to Zork is supposed to have very good digitizewd images.  You might look at
7th Guest, also, if you like puzzles, as it has GREAT graphics and is VERY
challenging...  P.S.  Ich sprecht Deutsche so-so; verstehst dich?

    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

Anyone tried one of those s/w cache pgms. for a CD. I have an older single
speed and wonder if it's worth the trouble, plus I would plan to use it again
on my newer double speed CD. when brought. Also any hints on possbily
increasing better i/o xfers with that older cd, I already added more /Mbuffer
to my config file. Thanks in advance. -----Bill

Read messages more carefully.  I do not have, and never had, the discs
you mentioned.  I had a SAMPLER disc, with some material from each of
those titles - but it has been sold.

 TD> I just finished Myst!  Awesome game!  So:

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.

I got a friend up in Jersey that I sold/traded him a sony cd rom drive.
 He has a BBS of his own.  It is called Ferret's Hideaway.  IT is up 24
hrs.  He isn't running a front end mailer just so ya know.  Now when I
got that sony drive it didn't have a install disk to speak of either
BUT it did have a disk with the drivers on it and a copy of the
config and autoexec files that he just sut-n-pasted on it.  Just call
609-889-8230, 1200-14.4k 24 hrs, tell him Mike C. from Fla sent ya.

Good luck!

Cool, I think I'll check it out.  I was waiting on Under a Killing

Well, the software prices are a tad on the high side here.  :(  You're

I found one on CIS, but it's a UHS help file.  I could UUEncode it and

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
Hollow Rd, Andover NJ 07821. If you have questions, call me voice at

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!

Eddie

Have you heard of "networking"?  You need a LAN setup.  Check out Novell or
Windows for Workgroups if you use Windows.

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... :-)

[about MicroCosm]

 MS> Awesome!  We have a limited number of them in stock right now at $59.60.
 MS> One of the top 4 or 5 games I've ever played!

I find MicroCosm (PC CD version) very dissappointing.. the intro is nice and
also the CD music tracks on the disc are nice but gameplay sucks bigtime!

Are there any cheats or walk-throughs for this game?

Do you have the command line switch "/S" on your MSCDEX line in your
Autoexec.bat? It's function is to enable sharing of the CDROM drive over
WFWG nets. See DOS HELP MSCDEX for more.

JC>Could I get a price for Rebel Assault, including the shipping costs to
JC>Canada?  Locally, it's about $69-79, and I wanted to see if I could get
JC>a better price.

Hope you don't mind, but I can sell it for $57 + $3 s/h.
Give me a call.

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

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.

    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
with their service.

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. :)

JB> > I'll look forward to hearing from you. TTYL.

JB>I look forward to sending you a message, but it has yet to arrive.

I thought I read a message that you had received it? Didn't the post

Or perhaps they saw how you responded to me with 'you must be doing

not to say anything. There are also a lot of 'silent sufferers' in this
world. :)

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.

Trust me, you're not the only one. I too had placed an order from him
and he said he'll shipped immeditatly, yea right, two weeks later I

   Quite a few have audio components.  I think you'll also find
 that the next generation of CD's will have even more advanced
 audio tracks.

   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.

I have a single speed internal CD-rom it is a Mitsumi. It came with a
device driver Ver 1.3, ms-dos cd-rom extensions Ver.2.2. Since I upgraded
to dos 6 my cd-rom will not load. I have tried every different selection
in the device installation process. When I boot up it says Incorrect dos
version after a few seconds after its trying to load in. Device driver not
found. I am really upset about this, I just got two new Cds and can't look
at them. What can I do? Do I need another driver?

Any ideas out there?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the tip.  I have finished all puzzles except for this one.  I
even wrote a Pascal program to solve the Pictures one upstairs. (you
enter the configuration it will tell you what moves to make) but you
need two computers to use since the puzzles are randomized.  Oh well if
you have internet access then do an archie search, i think its on
src.doc.ic.ak.uk, or something.  Write back and I'll try to send it via
email!

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
conferences.

Later.

CS**Hello All!

CS**I've just bought a new game called Megarace and it's one of the best on the
CS**CD-ROM seen I guess. The introduction is about 10 minutes long and the view
CS**the racetracks are awesome.
CS**I have a dual spin CD-ROM drive and found the full screen (YES ->FULL SCREE
CS**animations very good; so I thought it was because of my drive that they wer
CS**good... But NO, it works fine on a single speed drive too!!!This game is
CS**definitely a giant step in computer entertainment...
CS**The actor who presents the game is great.
CS**If you're wondering what game you should buy, get this one; it's value for
CS**money...


Megarace from HRB Computer Services:  $50.96 CDN / $37.71 US (approx.)

Thanks for the offer Mike...  I'll give you a call when I've got
my comparison prices ready.  I'm serious about beating any price
as you well know - I'm selling those OS/2 Boxes (the ones you sold me)
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
who comes back for more - and that's what I'm always aiming for.

Hi Andrew...

    Sure... this is '93-'94 material, but I haven't received a file list for
Pier 4 yet, so I can't compare the two.  Once I have it in stock, I'll sell you

Scott,
    Well FAO1 or any of the FAO series is setup with a nice GUI
interface

They are arranged into each category and then arranged by resolution,
each category has all of the resolutions from 320x200 to 1024x768 and
each of those have different pictures in them to relate to the topic.
On the disc is also a Windows version of Megasearch and a Door already
setup for be ran on a BBS.  This disc is very well setup and have
praised Profit Press Group many times for making such great disc? Well
what version of BB do you have? Is it the one that has movie stars, tv
personalities, famous people gifs on it? How is it setup? How full is
it? What is on the cover?

              Thanks,
                        Very interested

I used a REVEAL CD-ROM on a 386sx-25 card INSIDE an Amiga 2000.  It worked
great...of course, the software ran slow...but that was the fault of the
386sx, and not the CD-ROM.  Microsoft Video runs like a snail on a machine
that slow.  can you say SNAAAAIL?

order...

1.  AIDS/HIV Resource Disc
2.  Shareware Studio #4
3.  The Pier Shareware #4  (arrived today)

Also, I received something called "The Merchant" CD-Rom catalog shopping
today, but I don't think this was intended to be a disc for review.  If
someone here did send me this for evaluation, please let me know!  It looks
to be more of a sales tool.

Please don't send duplicates of discs that are already on the roster!

Look for the AIDS/HIV Resource Disc SHORTLY!

Thanks!

Michael Crosson

To submit a disc for evaluation, please send it to:

Michael Crosson
811 San Juan Road #199
Sacramento, CA 95834

All kinds of discs are welcome, and all discs received will be reviewed.
Discs will not be returned, but I will send a copy of the completed review
to you when it is finished and mention you as a source to obtain the disc.

The reviews will be posted here, made available for FREQ and posted on my
BBS for download.  In addition, user groups and other non-profit
publications are granted permission to reprint them so long as the reviews
are published unaltered in their entirely and I am credited as the author.
The publisher and/or dealer that submitted the disc is also welcome to use
the reviews in any way if they like.

O.K., I'm confused.

So far in this confernece, I've heard that using DOS 6.2's SMARTDRV.EXE to
cache my CD-ROM is bad, and then I hear it is good.  What's going on here?

Once and for all, should I or should I NOT use SMARTDRV.EXE to cache my
CD-ROM drive?

very confused.....

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....

Hi Mike,

Could I get your price on Pier 4, including shipping to Canada?  I

Also, have you recieved the new Hobbes CD yet?

Thanks!

Jonathan.

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:

[e-mail]

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!

As far as I know, it's never been included on any CDRom, you could be the
first!:-)

R/C Helper is the WORLD'S FIRST shareware for R/C Car & Truck hobbiests (not
the toys sold on department store, serious R/C equipment)
It available for 1:250/344, Utopia Planitia for file request as RCHLP102.ZIP
or log on and DL it from file area 2 (new callers have DL access!)

Sorry, but I've gone with another disc, not that your offer in good.
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.

If you read the fine print, it seems to be AKA ERM, AKA "Crazy Bob's".  On

Hey, how was I supposed to know that? YOUR distributor you told me
about doesn't even carry it yet. I just got a new price list from him
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
kidding.

     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
     additional work required to make it work.  If you have any questions
     give me a call and I'll do what I can to help.

Sam,
        If we have not responded recently, it was due to our changing
our regular BBS to a CD-ROM SUPPORT BBS and we lost a couple of week of
echomail in the process:(  In regards to our willingness to drop prices
below what we already have established, we just don't do that as a
matter of practice on in the shrinkwrap products.

Regards,
Joe Rinehart

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...

Mike

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
same but I dare say the Photo Factory software is better than anything you have
seen for displaying you phographs. Would be to long to explain all it will do
here, but give them a call, think you will be pleased.

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.

Does anyone know how I can contact the moderator, Bob Hall?  I've tried this
echo, I've tried faxing him and nothing seems to be getting through.

I mailed some CDs to him and have been expecting some in return; this was over
5 weeks ago (perhaps closer to 2 months).  I don't know the status of the
situation, but for a moderator, he certainly is elusive these days.

Thanks for any help!

What sort of system are you using it with?  I just saw an ad for it the
other day but it looked pretty graphic-heavy, I wasn't sure my 386DX/40,
4 meg RAM and double spin drive would be enough...

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?

Best Wishes and Good Luck

Assuming you mean you aren't supposed to re-cord the music in any way, your

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

*CD-ROM INFORMATIE GEZOCHT*


Ik werk met IBM OS/2 v2.1NL, nu wil ik een CD-Rom Drive
aanschaffen bijvoorbeeld een Panasonic, model 562B.

Echter IBM OS/2 v2.1 bezit alleen de drivers van Panasonic
model: CR 501, LK-MC501S, MC501B en MC521.


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
steeds geen reaktie van hen ontvangen.


PC-Groetjes.

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
you've done so far?

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
DT>player etc, through the sound blaster card onto your hard
DT>drive.  If this is the case, can some one tell me the name

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.

similiar to the one that we have all seen on Star Trek for years.  I would like

Hi Herb!

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.

 >cut of the program out. Essentially, what we were assuming

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.

 >One thing I do have to point out is that you stated that you were concerned

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.


Here's what's coming up:

#1     HIV/AIDS Resource Disc          (completed)

#2     Shareware Studio IV             (next)
#3     Pier 4
#4     Bitstream 500 Font CD

JZ>what it will cost.  Jerry

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
plus shipping ($1.33, 1.90, or 3.00) to me at:

If I don't hear back from you, I'll assume you're no longer
interested.

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...

The prolific David Macfarlane postulated to Charlie about CD-ROM Discs...

 CJ>          Shipping is $4.00 for 1-3 discs; $6.00 4-10 discs. NC Residents
 CJ>          add 6%.

 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. :)
                                                        Charlie

Thanks.  I have ROMDOOR set up here also ... the unregistered version.
I have also downloaded ROMBRAIN and was going to install and try it,
but I don't know when I will get the time to do that, so have decided
to go ahead and register ROMDOOR tonight.

Thanks for the response <smile>

I'm interested in publishing an Oregon CD-Rom containing both the Drivers
License database and the Vehicle Registration database for the entire State
of Oregon.
 I have these databases on 9 track, 6250 BPI tape. Does anyone know of a
business in Oregon or Washington that can do both Authoring work and CD
pre-Mastering which will result in a "One-Off" ??????
 Next, the retail price will be $129 with Dealer/Distributor discounts.
If anyone is interested in buying a copy, a special pre-release price of
$99 will apply for a short time. Contact me voice at 503-777-2910

Hi Mike,
     We have it on our board if you still need it. It's on the hard drive
area. Just go into the Dir. and look for the CD-ROM files. If you call
between 6:30pm - 9:00pm you can catch me in.

 JD| I am trying to enter the world of CD-ROM, but would like to do so as
 JD| economically as possible. I came across an ad in a Damark catalog for a
 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.

Darn! I guess you're right (I still don't have the cd), I've heard they've used
QuickTime to take care of the graphics. And that's slow for sure! I only hope
it doesn't spoil the fun to much. Thanks for the answer!

  I am having problems with thru put on my NEC triple speed drive.  I am going
thru a PAS, using a 486DX2, with 8Megs of Ram.
  What can I do to improve speed?  Both Encarta and MS Book Shelf say the drive
is to slow, only the CD, everything else checks out OK.
  Would a separate SCSI board do the trick, if so what kind of board would
people recommend?
    CD bench test said the drive was doing just under 300KB, no where near the
450 stated in the specs.
  Any and all suggestions are appreacated.  Thanks.

 -=> Quoting David Baird to All <=-

 DB> Hello All!

 DB> I am looking to get a CDROM player that is compatible with a Sound
 DB> Blaster Pro model 1330. The docs say it needs a Matsushita...

 DB> Does it?
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

I have three of them on one controller here and they work fine.

If you post your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, and also describe
the controller card as closely as you can, I might be able to help.

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.

makers of Street Atlas USA, V2.0, I'm just a satisifed user putting in
my $.02 worth here  ;^)

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.

G'day,

I am looking for the Rebel Assault fix (version 1.4) that fixes the problems
with the joystick and random lockups.

If anyone knows where I can get this file or if anyone has the BBS phone # for
Lucas Arts, please drop me a line.

Thanks a lot!!!

  No, you got it at the best price I've seen so far. I also bought it
(Probably from the same source) and while the kareoke disk is stinko, the
rest are well worth the $30.00

The reason people are upset is because they paid anywhere from $50.00 and
upwards to $100.00 for it!!!

It's not worth that much:)

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
my neighbor did.  He tried to put a local bus video card in his ISA mother-
board.  I was ROTFLMAO!!!  Geez, he wondered why it wouldn't fit!

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
left. Thats it!

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!

We don't use VPIC for 256 images or true color--The best thing to use is a

CompuShow 2000 1.01a--Its available on Compuserve, and most likely on numerous

We wait for Bob to support LZW compressed 24-bit TIFFs.
I don't know if that's fair, as the ones I have are 1024x768x24bit, and my

There's ONE file on the Amateur Models disc which is NOT LZW compressed, and

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.

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.

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 Hollow Rd, Andover NJ 07821.
If you have questions, call me voice at [phone] evenings.

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

Region     Area      Size      Status
  1    B00F - B521    20K    Used (MTMCDE)
  2    D370 - D750    15K    Used (MTMCDAE)
  2    D88F - DC7A    15K    Used (MSCDEX)

MSCDEX.EXE is from MS-DOS 6.02 and not from those supplied with the
drives.
c:\qemm\loadhi /r:2 C:\dos\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /D:MSCD002 /M:10 /E

rem DMA/IRQ driver for FX0001D Mitsumi
DEVICE=c:\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:2 c:\MTMCDAE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:310 /A:0
/M:64 /T:6 /I:11 /x
rem DMA/IRQ driver for LU0005S Mitsumi
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:1 \MTMCDE.SYS /D:MSCD002 /P:300 /A:0 /M:64
/T:5 /I:10 /X

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
Encyclopedia at $27. They charge $5 for UPS ground and are
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?!

I recently purchased a used NEC 3Xi that appears to be operational but I
cannot get it to recognized as device 2.  I didn't get a manual with it
but when I hold in the left button of the group of three and turn on the
power it shows the symbols E1 through E7 in rapid succession.

Can anyone tell me what the proper response is to the to the power on
self test, what the individual Error Codes mean and what the purpose of
the additional four jumper stations after the address jumpers?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

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,
[e-mail]

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.  :-)

 I think I got the jist of this. Call IBM. Tell them what you got and
they'll give you the name of a .ZIP file on their BBS that you can
download that contains the drivers you need.

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)
        LH /L:2,27952 c:\dos\mscdex /d:MSCD000 /l:E

In your Config.sys file
        Devicehigh /L:2,13408 =c:\cddrv\CDMKE.sys /D:MSCD000

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

Bye for now,
         Steve

Discovered that I had wrongly identified one of the constellations
and having corrected that error made it into the Stoneship age and
rationalised the 3 pumps, located the two pages, and fired up the
lighthouse.  Have concluded the MYST book must be in the bottom of
the ship but I am in the DARK.  Can some one please shed some LIGHT
for me by telling me where the switches are located ?  Completed
the other 3 worlds some time ago and believe this is the last unless
I am missing something.

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 folks,

Curious, I'm starting to think about upgrading my old drive.  Wanted to know if
the multispin (3x or better) is worth the additional money, or is the 2x
enough?

Thanks

DM>> *=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=*   The Profit Group   *=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=*
DM>>FORBIDDEN SUBJECTS - (Without Sick & Twisted Graphics) - $19.95

 Hello David!

DM>    Hi, what sort of subjects are on this CD??... 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.

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

$40 for "Comache" is a very good price!
In Italy its price is about $65...

 AC> (How many Lira is that?)

It's about £. 68.000. However cosider the change 1$ = £. 1700.

 AC> Shipping would probably be about that price or maybe less.

Well, if shipping would be about $40 it would be more convenient to purchase
"Comanche" in Italy... :(
I don't wanna be boring, but if you'd have the possibility to inform me about
the price of shipping software to Italy (even considering that I'd like to buy
other CDs in the US) I'd be very thankful to you... :)

Ciao Jacopo,

Really? ;)

I think that everybody who's not italian should know that the english term
"how" is translated in italian just with "come".
So you shouldn't be so sure I've gone crazy... :)

 JP> Sure. I would have never seen it, if it wasn't for you.
 JP> Well, sometimes you're not completely useless....

Please, next time remeber to use a smiley or I'll have to come to your home and
use a "Lobo treatment": "ya know I can do it..." ;)

 JP> But still, no one has ever tracked down a copy of this baby.

You talk as an Image character... :)
BTW, maybe I've got an idea where to find a "copy of this baby"...

 JP> As a matter of fact, i did stop playing it beacuse of this, and beacuse
 JP> of the inadequate increase of difficulty i experienced with level 9.

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...

 SS>> I suppose you read K's review... ;)
 JP> Do you think i really need to read a review to say such things?

Yes I do! :)

 JP> true.

Well, it's a strange coincidence there's no difference between what you wrote
and K's review... ;)
However I'll suppose that K thinks the same things you think and not the
opposite... ;)

 SS>> Weird tracks aren't new at all: don't you remember "Hard Driving"
 JP> That one had a loop and a few jumps.

If there were more loops and jumps it would have been Megarace! :)

I'm not sure but I suppose that 486/66 already existed in 1992...

 JP> Anyway, go get it and lemme know.

I don't think there are great differences with the fd version I almost finished
this summer: I'll buy it only to save space on my HD (even considering I'm not
intentioned to delete "Windows"... ;) ).

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.
